I looked at the window and found an owl clicks at the window with a message In its claws.
I smiled broadly and opened the window. I took the letter from the owl and gave it some owl food.
While the owl was eating, I opened the message written on the parchment paper.

(the wand shop Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands Since 382 BC)
Look at the sign for the slightly dilapidated store, then enter.I went alone while I left the family to get the rest of the supplies.
When i entered, I found...a family of three people. An adult wizard, a tall, thin man with hazel eyes and untidy black hair.
A beautiful woman with thick, dark red hair that fell to her shoulders, and almond-shaped, bright green eyes.
A boy my age seems to choose his wand, and he is near-spitting image of his father, having inherited his untidy jet-black hair,but with his mother's green eyes that can be seen behind round glasses.
Yes, it's the Potter family.
But I see an additional individual in her: a 9-10 year old girl with red hair and green eyes, very similar to her mother.
"I remember every wand I've ever sold, Mr Potter. It so happens that the phoenix whose tail feather resides in your wand, gave another feather. Just one other." Ollivander
I know this conversation, it's when Ollivander tells Harry that his wand is from the same phoenix as Voldemort's wand.
I decided to listen from outside the door because this conversation is very dangerous. Hearing it from a stranger like me might be a problem in their eyes.
....
After a little talk with Ollivander, the family left with a serious expression.
"Good morning"Arthur
I entered as if nothing had happened and found Olivander still deep in thought.
"I would like a wand please"Arthur
"Oh, of course, what's your dominant hand?"Ollivander
Before I could answer, I suddenly felt something calling me. I unconsciously raised my hand and suddenly found a wand flew from one of the boxes to my hand.
I suddenly felt very warm and comfortable, as if I had regained a part of me that had been missing for a long time.
This happened before Ollivander's surprised eyes.
"Wow, two unique events in one day,This could be a sign that something big is going to happen."Ollivander
I looked at the wand and found that it's a very elegant wand with a beautiful yellowish-white color.
"12 inch made of Acacia wood and dragon heart strings core"Ollivander
"A very unusual wand wood, which I have found creates tricky wands that often refuse to produce magic for any but their owner, and also withhold their best effects from all but those most gifted."Ollivander
He continued his speech
"This explains his unusual reaction today. It seems that the wand sees in you a great talent, Mr. Cardinal. I look forward to your future achievements."Ollivander
"Thank you, Mr. Ollivander"Arthur
...
I walked out of Ollivander's with a smile on my face.
Dragon heartstrings...is it a coincidence?
Olivander's words didn't surprise me much. After all, I know I was born with great talent. However, Wand's behavior surprised me a little.
*sigh*
Why do I think so much about this?It's finally time to enter Hogwarts! This is the important thing.
