[Diagon Alley, Ollivander's Wands, July 10th, 1991]
"You, Mr. Moses, are the most troublesome customer that I've ever had..." Mr. Ollivander complained while massaging his forehead. He dropped to the ground and touched the piled dust that gathered from the ground.
Over the course of our wand-seeking, I've managed to try 27 wands and all of them met a terrible fate from my hands, they were all turned into dust.
"I-I'm sorry, Mr. Ollivander." I apologized with sincerity while looking at the ground.
'Why is it turning into dust, is there something wrong with me...' I thought, dejected.
"Our apologies Mr. Ollivander, be at ease that Hogwarts will pay for all the damaged wands that Moses had caused in this store." Prof. McGonagall said in a sorry tone.
"No, no, it's quite all right, these wands can still be made again by me, I'm sure it's not Mr. Moses's fault, I'm just too emotional right now," Mr. Ollivander uttered. He looked at me again, and with a hint of clarity in his eyes, he went to the back of the store again.
"Bombarda!"
Bang!* Bang!* Bang!*
A sound of wood being bombed was heard inside the shop. I look at Prof. McGonagall with a questioning look to which she only shrugged. A few minutes later, Mr. Ollivander revealed himself holding an elongated object that is covered by an old-looking white cloth with unknown symbols written on it.
{ℑ 𝔠𝔞𝔫 𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔡 𝔞𝔫𝔶 𝔩𝔞𝔫𝔤𝔲𝔞𝔤𝔢𝔰.} I whispered to myself.
With my command, the strange symbols from before were not so strange anymore.
'ᴀʙꜱᴏʟᴜᴛᴇ ꜱᴇᴀʟ, ᴜɴᴛʀᴀᴄᴇᴀʙʟᴇ, What's the deal with those...' I thought with confusion.
"EHEM, Apologies for the noise," He said in a bashful tone as he laid down the object.
He looked at me seriously seeming in thought. As a hint of clarity appeared in his eyes he opened his mouth.
"This here, Mr. Moses is something that our family has stored even before this store came to be. Something so old, that even I don't know how long it existed." He uttered in a mysterious tone while taking the clothing off slowly.
A 12-inch normal-looking stick revealed itself from the cloth as Mr. Ollivander picked it up and showed it to me.
"The only thing that our family gathered from studying this is that it is made up of an unknown wood that resembles the properties of both sapphire and almond...well, that's all...it does have a core, but even that we don't know of, that's why it was stored in here for all those years, it's basically a useless unique wand." Mr. Ollivander said nonchalantly.
"Are you sure you're not just giving me a normal stick so that I will not be able to destroy your other wands, Mr. Ollivander?" I asked him in doubt while squinting my eyes.
"No! I'm not that petty, Mr. Moses!" He refused while waving his hands frantically.
"I'm giving this to you because it is indestructible, my family has tried different means to destroy this but all proved futile, which means, it is somehow magical but is not, does that make sense? Anyways! Give it a wave, Mr. Moses!" He explained to me as he gave me the wand hastily.
I grabbed the wand and charged it with my magical energy.
"Ouch!" I yelped when I felt a sudden prick in my hand that was holding the wand causing me to drop it. I looked at my hand and saw a deep 1 mm blooded hole in it that immediately closed itself as if nothing had happened.
Ever since I obtained my ability to command, there's one rule that I've always abided by and maintained. That is to never break one of my most important command arsenals.
{ℑ 𝔥𝔞𝔳𝔢 𝔯𝔢𝔤𝔢𝔫𝔢𝔯𝔞𝔱𝔦𝔬𝔫.}
I've tried to command myself to be immortal. but it seems like something has been messing with my command, not allowing me to be immortal, it's just a little jam though, I'm sure that once I've made myself stronger I'll be able to finally command it, I just need some more time.
My regeneration is a really powerful tool to have, it can regenerate lost limbs...trust me, I've tried. No, I'm not an idiot, I command myself to be immune to pain at that time so it's all good. Though it will be harder for me to regenerate continuously because my magical reserves are not limitless.
"What's the matter?", What's wrong?" Prof. McGonagall and Mr. Ollivander asked in a worried tone.
"Nothing..." I muttered while looking at the wand that pricked me only to see that the once normal stick was vibrating, Prof. McGonagall and Mr. Ollivander also took notice of the phenomenon as the three of us stared at the wand.
After a few seconds, the wand levitated itself while changing its construct and contour until it became an all-black wood with a head of a crow with a purple glowing orb as its eyes in its handle. I grabbed the wand causing it to shine in a violet hue and felt the most magnificent feeling that I've had in my life. I felt free, and I was like laying the softest cotton that I'd ever had.
"This..."
"Fascinating..."
"Is that supposed to happen?" I asked while looking at my wand.
"No, Mr, Moses...well, looks like we've found a wand for you, huh..." He uttered while in a daze.
"You've had a quite lively wand-seeking there, Mr. Moses....Mr. Ollivander, can I know how much we owe you?" Prof. McGonagall added as she took her pouch.
"Well...how about we have a deal, Mr. Moses, you won't need to pay for all the wand that you've turned...into dust, instead, let me study your wand at the end of your school year for 5 days? How about that? Huh?" He asked with a crazed look in his eyes.
"Uhh? Sure?" I said in doubt.
"If that will be all, Mr. Ollivander, we'll make ourselves out." Prof. McGonagall uttered in her Scottish tone.
"Hmm! See you, Professor McGonagall." Mr. Ollivander replied in a jovial tone.
We turned around to leave the store when suddenly I realized something that made us stop.
"Um...Professor McGonagall, do I just put this in my pocket?" I asked,
"Well-" Professor McGonagall replied but was cut down by Mr. Ollivander's voice.
"Oh! If you want to have a wand holder, here! Free of charge of course." Mr. Ollivander exclaimed as he handed me a wand holder with an exquisite design.
"Thank you, Mr. Ollivander. We will take our leave now, don't worry I'll take care of my wand, great sir!" I shouted to Mr. Ollivander while waving my hand as we took our leave.
After our shopping spree, while walking in the busy Diagon Alley, Prof. McGonagall told me that he had already sent a letter to Father Orsi by owl to come and get me.
After walking for a few minutes we arrived at the meeting place where Prof. McGonagall said where Father Orsi will meet me.
"Remember, Mr. Moses. Your school term starts on September 1st. You will need to go to the Hogwarts Express through the King's Cross Station at 11:00 AM sharp. Here is your ticket, never lose it, Mr. Moses." She said to me seriously as he handed me the ticket that said.
[London to Hogwarts for ONE WAY travel]
[9¾]
She walked away from me at some distance and uttered.
"Oh! Before I forget, 9 ¾ is in the middle of platforms 9 and 10 you must pass through it, understood?" She asked me which I only nodded.
"See you on September 1st, Mr. Moses," She muttered with a smile.
"See you soon too, Professor," I uttered while waving at her.
A few microseconds later, just like how Headmaster Dumbledore disappeared, Professor McGonagall was sucked into a vortex too with an almost audible pop.
Pop*
"That's cool...though not as efficient as mine..." I muttered in thought.
"Moses!" A familiar voice resounded behind me.
"Sister Lily?" I uttered as I turned around to face the source of the voice.
"Sister Lily!"
I rushed towards her and jumped and hugged her like a koala.
"Hahaha, look who missed me. Let's go home now?" She muttered while caressing my hair softly.
"Hmmm..." I hummed while my eyes closed as I felt my body's strength leaving me, causing me to let out a yawn.
With a last strong hug to Sister Lily, I let myself be carried by her warm hug as I drifted off to the realm of dreams.
