5 Chap 3

Suddenly part of entrance fell has Hagrid entered inside the room and forgot to duck a little bit.

"Sorry about that…well, Drake, I brought yo' a cake..." said Hagrid while he tried to repair the room entrance.

"Oh, guys you came! I thought you were all in school or working. Well, come in and make yourselves comfortable." As Drake started to talk with his guests another visit showed up, Garrick Ollivander with a bunch of bags followed right behind him by Albus and Nicolas Flamel. Probably, never have been in recent time so many important figures all together to celebrate the 9th birthday of Drake. Drake got excited and he started to talk with everyone but before that, he went to talk with his dad.

"Hey Dad, I mastered a firestorm charm…of course, it's the weakest version of yours heheheh!" said Drake to Albus while everyone started to laugh since they knew how a genius in fire magic and hardworking, he was.

"Oh, really than I must see it, but don't you want to open the gifts that we all brought? Then we will eat the cake the Alfred made and then you could show me your progress" said Dumbledore smiling to Drake.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I want!"

"Ollivander, perhaps you could be the first?" asked Dumbledore

"But of course, Albus, it would be my pleasure!"

When Drake heard his Dad talking with Ollivander, he already knew what his first present would be a wand. He was so excited that went running to Albus and hugged him. Well, this would be the first of many surprises and one of the many nights that he would remember and cherish.

As Drake finished hugging his dad, he went to Mr Ollivander and thanked him before it went to make the wand testing. All the other guest stopped talking and looked at them. Also, Alfred and Wendy were in the room behind them watching their young master happiness and hoping to give him their gifts too.

Mr Ollivanders opened his suitcase and started to take some wand boxes.

"You know little Drake; the wands choose his wizard and not the other way right?! So, according to your history and your propensity to fire magic, a wand with a dragon heartstring core it's a must!"

"Yeah! I know Mr Ollivander, I had the same idea since I have this pendant and I was found and rise for some time with them." Replied Drake

"Well, here it is the first one, Dragon heartstring core, with willow wood, 11 inches and slightly rigidity. Please give it a try," said the wandmaker.

As Drake grabbed the wand, he gave it a gentle wave. When he waved the wand the lightbulbs and the windows started to break.

"Oh…I think this one doesn't like me," said Drake when he gave the wand to Mr Ollivander.

"You're right…hmm…maybe…I know…this is the only one I have since the wood used in it was very rare. This was one of my finest works…but she never had an owner, it has a very peculiar temperament. She never found any wizard worth to hold it. I used Elder wood, Dragon heartstrings, 12 inches and lightly flexibility. Also, she is very tricky to be mastered. Please give it a try".

Drake grabbed the wand, the moment his hand touched it…the magic of all the surrounding started to gather near the wand and Drake saw a faint light emitted from it. He entered a trance state and the pendant around his neck started to shake and absorb the magic that was gathering around him. What seems to be hours for Drake it was only mere seconds but when he woke up from that state all people in the room were looking at him.

"Humm…I think…I have my wand…I guess…" said Drake in an embarrassed tone, then he went to hug Mr Ollivanders. He did not notice but Albus looked at him and then to Nicolas and the house-elves, only them had noticed that the magic seemed to not only be absorbed but also vibrating has it seems excited to go. Only the ones with the most sensibility about magic could have noticed it.

"Well, it seems you have your first gift, shall we go to the next ones?! Nicolas maybe you since you have two gifts, right?" said Dumbledore after a few seconds of silence in the room and to alleviate the awkward atmosphere in it.

"Well, of course, my friend! Drake the first time I saw you, you were 2 years old…and now you have grown up. I know that you always wanted to learn alchemy. So, I brought a book that I wrote about basic alchemy and a set with basic ingredient and instruments. My second gift it's not only mine but from Newt and Dumbledore too. This is a suitcase but with a special thing, this was an idea from Newt, which couldn't be here today, right Dumbledore?!"

"That's right Nicolas, that student of mine got stuck up with his grandchildren's. So, he sent this suitcase through Nicolas when he was passing by Paris" responded Albus.

By this time, the green eyes of Drake were sparkling, and he was about to speak when he was interrupted by Nicolas

"Well, the original suitcase had only several environments and places to put animals. So, I changed it a bit with the help of Albus. I join to those several spaces a garden, very good for planting all types of plants used for alchemy, potion or healing, and a basic laboratory " said Nicolas.

"BY MERLIN BEARD! This is the best birthday I have…I don't know what to say…thanks so much!" said Drake excited once more time.

"Well, you don't have to thank me boy, but you should write a letter to Newt," commented Nicolas.

"Now…Who's next?" asked Dumbledore.

"Well, Albus, I can be next hehehe!" said Minerva in subtle voice. She was happy to leave the school for some time, have a good conversation with other people and of course to see her little Drake.

"Yeah, please aunty! I have missed you a lot since I was forbidden to go to school," said Drake as he walked near her and kissed her on her cheeck, making her blushing.

"Oh, please…it seems every time I come here, you re better at sweet-talking. Here take this…" said Minerva with a gentle eye.

"Omg…this…this…is a time-turner?! Omg…thank you, thank you, thank you!" said Drake after opening her gift and seeing what it was in the box. He went to her and start hugging her and giving a lot of kisses all over her face. Making Minerva red of embarrassment and all the room laughing.

"You know the laws Drake, you need to respect the time and if you mess with it, everything you know can be changed, be very responsible. I let Minerva giving to you her time-turner because I know that you are a responsible and mature person. Although sometimes you make some pranks, I think you are ready for it. You can't be seen using it, I received two of them from a friend of mine in the department of mysteries from the Ministry of Magic. So, be careful about how do you use it. Also, I trust everyone here to be quiet about this…or I will obliviate you all…you to Drake if I know you re misusing it." warned Dumbledore in a serious tone looking at Drake and all people present in the room.
