'Finally, time to go to Diagon Alley.' I thought. I got dressed in black ripped jeans, a black shirt with a skull on it, and my aviator jacket. Plus my all-powerful ring which was black with a skull (right index finger) and my two Lordship rings (Peverell on left ring finger and Black on left middle finger).
[He looks like Nico di Angelo but with purple eyes instead of brown. If you don't know what Nico di Angelo looks like, he has messy black hair and pale olive skin. For more visual information... search it up.]
With that, I shadow traveled to just in front of the Leaky Cauldron and went straight to the secret entrance, not stopping to talk to anyone. I went to Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions and ordered robes made of Aromentula silk and some cloaks. Then I went to get my other items and then finally to get my wand.
OLIVANDERS - Makers of Fine Wands since 382 B.C.
The shop looked so outdated, more so than Diagon Alley itself. Walking in to see hundreds of wands stacked up was surreal. As I looked around, I felt someone sneaking up behind me so I decided to startle him a little.
"Hello, Mr. Ollivander." I said while turning around to look at him.
He looked startled at first but quickly recovered and studied me more closely, "Interesting... May I know your name?" He asked calmly.
I replied in kind, "I am Alexander Peverell." I said, to his shock. He has definitely heard of the Peverell's. Both as an Ollivander and as a wandmaker, who like all others, is interested in the Elder Wand.
He quickly recovered, however, and started giving me wands to try. None of them felt right until he gave me a certain one. "This was the last wand created by my great grandfather. 12" inches of Yew with a most interesting core. The feather of a Thunderbird. I think we must expect great things from you, Mr. Peverell."
Paying for my wand and a holster, I went home to experiment with it and identify the difference between Wand and Wandless magic.
