Chapter 11: Getting my wand

(Enjoy the extra long chapter)

(Also, form the next chapter, chapter 12, I will change Ancient Ruines to Ancient Runes, my bad guys)

Today is the day I am going to get my supplies for Hogwarts. I was only going with my father, after all, my mother and I are still fighting.

I already memorised all my textbooks but my dad doesn't know that, so I just bought everything with him. The main part of the day for me was getting my wand.

Olivander always says, 'the wand chooses the wizard,' I have a theory that Wands are actually sentient, and if so, I should be able to communicate with them.

We were outside of Olivanders, as my father refused to enter. He just stayed outside.

I walked in without talking to him as always.

After I walked in, Olivander came sliding in with a smile on his face, he probably thought he scared me, but You can't scare me!

Okay I am going to be honest, I got startled even though I expected it, but with my occlumency and aura manipulation, it seemed like I wasn't startled.

Olivander observed me for a while, then came up to measure my wand arm, and for some reason I don't understand, he also took measurements of my entire body.

Then he went to his back to pull some wands out for me.

I stood in the middle of the small room, and tried to observe my surroundings. I manipulated some mana to my eyes, something I figured out after it happened in the forest, and was able to properly see the aura of everything around me.

Until now, I was able to see the aura of someone if I specifically concentrated on them, but now, I could see the aura of all the wands. They were numbered in the thousands.

I walked up to a wand box and touched it, and the wand immediately shouted so loudly that I had to hold my head in reflex.

"DON'T TOUCH ME BOY, YOU ARE NOT THE WIZARD WHO CAN WEILD ME"

Wow, arrogant much. Now, I should probably carefully touch these wands, I don't want this happening to me again.

Different wands had different reactions from me touching them.

"Ohh, young child, please scratch that part, it has been itching for years." Okay, what the fuck?

"Hmm, hi young wizard, don't think anyone alive have been able to understand us." For some reasons the wands knew I could understand them, even though for some reason I couldn't talk to them.

"For you wizard, I think it's better if you walk down this isle, you will find your soul wand there," hold up wand, I am not getting married here!

Man, wands are talkative as well, just like trees. Every single wand was conversing with other wands, and I couldn't talk to them unless I had contact with them, or maybe if I sent mana to my ears.

But the problem was, I can only enhance my eyes, it seems like my body has to chose to allow the mana to that specific part.

After 'walking down the isle', I saw a box without a cover, inside it I saw a slightly larger wand than rest I have seen thus far.

It looked beautiful, unlike all the wands I have thus seen, with a mesmerising colour of chocolate brown, it just stayed still there, and I could see the aura oozing out of it, and if the aura told me anything, it was that it's unyielding.

I was about to pick the wand up when I saw Olivanders walking towards me with a stack of about 10 wands in his hands.

"Ah, Mr. Markus, if you want, you can try that wand, but I don't like people staying at the back section so do hurry up. But I should say that specific wand hasn't been chosen by any wizard for a long time, it's probably one of the first wands made by my first ancestor."

I quickly picked the wand up, and unlike the other wands, a golden aura filled the entire room, visible to even Olivander.

Something clicked inside my mind, and I new this wand was perfect for me, but the problem was I couldn't here this wand speaking.

"Amazing Mr.Shawn, can you please tell me how you knew this was the wand that would chose you." Olivander asked in wander get it, wander, wonder.

I smirked, knowing this was another step in my plans, and hopefully old Dumbles will get word about this from Olivander.

"The wands told me, they told me to come and get this wand."

Olivander dropped all the boxes in his hands. His hands were trembling, "Did you just say you could here the wands. How is that possible, there are no records of a person ever being able to communicate with wands. You must be one of the greatest genius the entire world has ever seen Mr.Markus."

After a while he got over the shock, probably through occlumency, he said, after taking the wand from my hand" Black Walnut wood, with a unicorn hair core, 14 and 1/2 inches, and unyielding flexibility. This is a rare combination."

"Why is it rare sir, and if you don't mind, can you please explain to me the characteristics of my wand in detail."

I swear, Olivanders aura would have been visible to anyone, he was practically glowing when I asked him to talk more about my wand.

"Sure Mr.Markus. Black walnut is a less common type of wood, which seeks a master with powerful instincts and good insights. It is, as you can see a very handsome wood, but it is also not the easiest to master. The wood is known to not serve a master who has an internal conflict with themselves. If the wizard who is casting with this wand is unwilling to be honest with themselves, the wand made of this wood will not cast any spells. If paired with a sincere, self-aware owner, it becomes one of the most loyal and impress wand known, and the wood is known to do well in charms as well.

A unicorn hair core wand, sticks with one owner, and are unusually loyal, they will not be used by a new master. It does not matter if you will be a famous Wizard or not, this wand will stay with you through thick and thin. This particular core however, won't exactly produce the most powerful magic, and isn't that suited for the dark arts.

The length is 14 and a 1/2 inches. Rare, usually wands are made till 14 inches, and anything more than that is rare. It is rumoured that the longer the wand, the more powerful the magic casted, but you will have lesser control. This covers one of your cores weakness.

Your wand is also unyieldingly flexible. It will not bend over for the second best, and it will fit whatever your preferences are, adjusting to you. It is rare for such an unyieldingly flexible wand to be made, you can tell the stubbornness of the wand, that it doesn't want to work for anyone but it's wizard.

One thing I can say for sure Mr.Markus, your wand will stay loyal to you, and for a wand with such qualities to pick you, your name will resound throughout the world, not just through potions, but through spell casting as well.

You are more then meets the aren't you Mr. Markus"

After hearing all the qualities of my wand I was happy. Not to toot my own horn, but this wand is worthy for the greatest wizard in existence. MUHAHAHAHAHA

Side tracked there, but I feel like I can compensate for most of the weaknesses of this wand. I don't think I am one to lie to myself, I am definitely down to earth, and if anything happens, this wand can serve as a reminder.

So what If the wand cannot cast powerful magic, if I double the amount of mana needed, it will definitely cast just fine. I just need to wait for my next core maturation which I am pretty sure will happen In a few more years, with the new potions I came up with. Not suited for Dark Arts? But the wand also adapts to me so it will eventually change.

Less magical control? I have talents blessed by god itself, let's see if I cannot have control.

Olivander then picked up all the wands from before and pulled out a few books out of no where and gave them to me.

"You are probably one of the most talented in wandlore I have ever seen, it's a shame that Hogwarts doesn't offer Wandlore. These books are enough to get you the basics of Wandlore, probably till O.W.Ls Level. Please do not waste your talents Mr.Markus."

I took the books and bowed to him, any knowledge is knowledge.

My dad asked me what my wand type is and I just told him the wood and core, and showed him the wand for the size.

My dad seemed surprised at me talking to him, after all I didn't talk to him in years. I even passed my wand to him.

He tested it's flexibility and the wand didn't even move.

Now I am even more proud, as expect of the great me's wand.

After returning to my house, I could see my dad telling my mom about my wand, she pulled what seemed like wandlore related books for their private library.

Sigh, now they will know my wands qualities. I should have not told them about my wand, or was it all a part of my plans? Sigh, I have so many plans in place, that I am not even sure anymore.

"Interesting wand combination, seems we truly have a genius in all sorts of magic coming soon" Dumbledore said as he kept Olivanders letter down.

"Yes, truly strange, I haven't even heard of such a wand combination before" MCGonagall said.

"Sigh, this child will truly be a monster. His mere wand combination, wands which every wizard uses is so unique, we can tell he is unwilling to follow under another's orders, so we will have to play our cards right to get him to my side, for the greater good." Dumbledore mumbled.

"Speaking with wands? I also have not heard of anyone doing this before," Snape chimed in from no where.

"Yes this is truly peculiar, but all questions will be solved after he comes to Hogwarts soon, but just in case check the forbidden section of the library for anything related to communicating with Wands,"Dumbledore said.

"Seems like we have an upcoming genius among us, hopefully he won't be like his stubborn mother, I don't want to have to break him like I did her," said a person with no nose.

"Hissss" replied a snake.

"I know Nagini, his mother has regained most of her sanity, I am still surprised, she was tortured for days, and didn't break for a long time. If only she joined my cause, maybe I wouldn't be in this situation," said a sickly Voldemort.

BTW I RECENTLY FOUND OUT I HAVE BEEN SAYING ANCIENT RUINES AND NOT RUNES SO SORRY WILL CHANGE IT FROM THE NEXT CHAPTER
