Chapter 17 - 17. diagon alley pt2 (2/2)
it took about 5 minutes for Luna to find her wand it was ebony with a unicorn hair core 11 and a half inches whippy.
it was Ryan's turn next for some reason he kinda felt like he knew what is core was going to be.
Hmmm,” said Mr. Ollivander,. ”Well, now -- Mr. Diggory. Let me see.” He pulled a long tape measure with silver markings out of his pocket. ”Which is your wand arm?”
Er -- well, I'm right-handed,” said ryan.
”Hold out your arm. That's it.” He measured Ryan from shoulder to finger, then wrist to elbow, shoulder to floor, knee to armpit and round his head. As he measured, he said, ”Every Ollivander wand has a core of a powerful magical substance, Mr. Diggory. We use unicorn hairs, phoenix tail feathers, and the heartstrings of dragons. No two Ollivander wands are the same, just as no two unicorns, dragons, or phoenixes are quite the same. And of course, you will never get such good results with another wizard's wand.”
Ryan suddenly realized that the tape measure, which was measuring between his nostrils, was doing this on its own that old basted didn't measure Luna he must be mad cause I almost punched him what a sore loser. Mr. Ollivander was flitting around the shelves, taking down boxes smiling slightly and taking his time as the measuring tape got more and more invasive Ryan has seen enough porn to know where this is going and he wasn't having none of it he snatched up the tape and threw it on the floor before letting out a mumbled petty that ollivander only smirked at.
”Right then, Mr. diggory. Try this one. Beechwood and dragon heartstring. Nine inches. Nice and flexible. just take it and give it a wave.”
Ryan took the wand and waved it around a bit, but Mr. Ollivander snatched it out of his hand almost at once.
”Maple and phoenix feather. Seven inches. Quite whippy. Try--”
Ryan tried -- but he had hardly raised the wand when it, too, was snatched back by Mr. Ollivander. He must do this on purpose.
”No, no -- here, ebony and unicorn hair, eight and a half inches, springy. Go on, go on, try it out.”
Ryan tried. And tried.The pile of tried wands was mounting higher and higher on the spindly chair, but the more wands Mr. Ollivander pulled from the shelves, the happier he seemed to become.
Tricky customer, eh? Not to worry, we'll find the perfect match here somewhere -- I wonder, now -- yes, why not -- unusual combination -- yew and thestral tail hair, eleven inches, unyielding.”
Ryan took the wand. He felt a sudden warmth in his fingers. He raised the wand above his head, brought it swishing down through the dusty air and blew apart the perverted measuring strip in the floor. Never again shall it violate someone's precious place.
Ryan and ollivander had a mini stare down at this point until a cough broke the tension. Ollivander:this is a powerful wand great for dueling and defense spells a well rounded wand most curious about the thestral hair they never tend to pick people unless they have experienced some kind of deadly trial.
he stared at me like I was some kind of strange puzzle he wanted to see through.
It was a nice looking wand pure black with little white spirals around it he would get a nice grip for the handle from the shop later and a dragonhide holster with antisummoning chameleon spell so it blends in with his skin and quick draw and bloodbound so people can't take it off of him while he got a polishing kit from ollivander for him and Luna and told her he'd get her a present later. he paid 20 galleons for his wand the kit and the tape he obliterated they then headed to the store for trunks he got a nice bluish silver trunk that can shrink into a necklace with his initials he will swap it out for the shop one later he didn't want his parents to get suspicious. after this they left for home happy with the days work.
