Angel sighed sadly as she walked into Olivanders. She still didn't know who to believe. According to her aunt and uncle, her cousins had accidentally taken it from their wardrobe where it was being kept for 'safekeeping' so she wouldn't use magic and then had broken it playing tug of war. It had been a good wand as well and now she only had a week to get used to it and she wasn't allowed to do any magic with it anyways. "Hello?" she called seeing no one at the desk.

Nathaniel walked into Ollivanders, this was the third visit he was making to the shop, one of those time was to acquire his wand when he was in his first year. The other time he'd been with his sister and he was happy to return that time. But now, well, things were quite different, he'd broken his wand beyond repair, considering the thing had exploded, and he needed to get a new one. What was the point of going to school without a wand?
He walked towards the counter, nodded to the girl standing in front of him and simply called for the shopkeeper, "Umm, Hi" he said, "I think I need a new wand" he sighed, he was quite fond of his previous wand.

Angel turned as she heard the door open behind her and smiled at the boy who entered. He was in her year, but was in Ravenclaw, she knew that much. "Has yours broken too?" she asked sympathetically hearing that he needed a new wand as well.

Nathan turned as he heard the girl speaking to him, well, asking him something, "Actually..." he started to say, and couldn't help to chuckle a bit, "...it sort of exploded" which was something quite unusual, "I think it's better to say it broke" he ended, thinking that a wizard that let their wand explode shouldn't be much a great wizard after all.
"I assume yours broke, then?" considering the question she'd made him, "I'm Nathaniel, Nathaniel Asthore" he introduced himself, seeming as it was appropriate to do so, "But feel free to call me Nate or Nathan" he added.

"Exploded?" Angel asked. How could a wand explode? "What happened." She wanted to laugh as well, but an exploding wand could've been dangerous, at least the boy wasn't hurt. "Okay we'll say it broke then," she smiled. Personally she didn't know how the store owner would react to an exploding wand, so a broken wand was probably better.
"Yeah and I've been given two stories on what happened. Personally I think my aunt and uncle broke it, considering one of them is a muggle and hates magic unless it's his own children and wife. But they say that my cousins stole it from their room, where it was being kept for 'safekeeping' and played tug of war with it," Angel sighed and rolled her eyes. She was never this angry, but breaking her precious wand had been cruel and uncalled for. "I'm Angelina, but everyone calls me Angel or AJ," she replied. "It's nice to meet you Nathan."

Sinead rushed out into the shop from the back room. She'd been having a breakthrough with Runespoor Fang. She smiled at the two young people standing in the shop.
"I'm so sorry. Now, who was first?" she asked, a happy smile on her face.

"Oh, so neither of us knows what truly happened" he replied, at least he was there while it happened, she only had a choice to believe it or not. "It's awful when you weren't involved in it" this could also apply to his case, although he could've been the one who did it, he just doesn't know it.
"It's nice meeting you too, Angelina" he smiled, "I hope you don't mind me saying the full name, I just like it" another smile, he did like the name.

He looked towards the shopkeeper, which decided to make her appearance now, he smiled back and looked at Angelina, "She arrived first" he said, gesturing to the girl.
"Chestnut, Unicorn Tail Hair, 9 inches" she said, handing the wand over to the girl, holding her breath.OOC: Umm ...Karla, have you done the Wand Quiz for Nathan?? |

While the girl was testing the wand, Sinead turned to the boy, studying him for a moment, before lening behind her and taking a box off the counter. She took the wand from the box and held it out to him.
"Elm, Unicorn Tail Hair, 10 inches" she said, smiling at him as he took it. She looked at them both and sighed.
"May I ask as to why you both need new wands?" she asked. People just didn't cherish their wands like they used to.

His eyes widened a bit as the shopkeeper asked why they needed new wands, he remained silent for a moment, "Umm, how often do wands explode?" he decided it was best to ask that anyway before answering. |

Nathan turned to the shopkeeper again, as she gave him a new wand. He took it and silvery sparks flew out of the point of it as he flicked the wand, "Yeah, this will do" he couldn't help to remember that the same thing happened when he was a first year and smiled.

"Explode? Not too often. What were you doing when it exploded?" she asked, reading between the lines. Kids came in all the time asking things like that. |

He couldn't help to blush a bit, she did figure out he was involved somehow, "Umm, nothing, really. My little brother wanted to take my wand, so I simply said 'NO', which is what you do when a five year-old wants a wand, right?" he started to say, "So I just held it in my hand at a height he couldn't reach, until, well, it exploded" that was exactly what happened, no one said anything, in a matter of seconds his wand just became dust, "It's a good thing nothing happened to me, though" he said, showing his hand to the shopkeeper.

Sinead listened, then sighed softly. "Well, yes, that is what you say to a five-year-old that wants your wand," she laughed. "It's rather odd that it exploded, though. But, I'll leave it lie. Just be careful with this one, okay. Make sure your little brother goes no where near it. Because, the wand choses the wizard, and there are only so many wands that are suited to a person." she gave him a small smile, then nodded as he held out his hand to show her. "Yes. You are very lucky actually.An exploding wand can cause a lot of damage. Could have blown your arm off," she said, smiling softly. "Okay, young sir, umm ... that wand there is 12 sickles," she said, still smiling softly.

He nodded, "Yeah, I know, weird" he said, "I've never thought wands could do that" and they probably didn't do it on their own, which means that someone made it explode, "Well, it was simple, one of my little brothers wanted it..." he shook his head after saying this, "...I just told him 'no' and held it high enough for him not to take it, I've never him angry in his five yeas of life" maybe he should've put the wand away, "My sister thinks that Bastien made the wand explode, she thinks he could be a bit powerful" he chuckled, how on earth was a five year-old going to do that? However Bastien had always seem a bit different than his twin, more in charge, if that could happen at such a young age, "I don't think that's what happened, not even my father thinks so" well, he was giving quite an explanation, "Either way, what's done is done, right?" a shrug came to his shoulders.
"Oh, so neither of us knows what truly happened" he replied, at least he was there while it happened, she only had a choice to believe it or not. "It's awful when you weren't involved in it" this could also apply to his case, although he could've been the one who did it, he just doesn't know it.
"It's nice meeting you too, Angelina" he smiled, "I hope you don't mind me saying the full name, I just like it" another smile, he did like the name.
"Yeah well there have been some cases of people with a lot of power in them," Angel said thinking of a few of her friends with a lot of power. "At least it wasn't you that exploded though. That has to be a good point." She couldn't imagine someone exploding it would be way too gross and scary actually. "Yeah neither of us know what's happened, but like you said, what's done is done and hopefully our new wands will be good."
"No you can call me Angelina, I really don't mind," Angel said. She liked all of them, though if anyone called her Angie she wouldn't allow it. No one called her Angie.
Sinead smiled at the boy, then turned to the girl. She studied her for a moment, then rushed off down the shelves. Coming back, holding a single box in her hand, a beaming smile on her face. She'd never been so sure in her life.
"Chestnut, Unicorn Tail Hair, 9 inches" she said, handing the wand over to the girl, holding her breath.She watched as the shopkeeper ran off to get a wand and wondered for the second time in her life, how someone could tell what wand would suit her just by looking at her. She took the wand carefully and gave it a small flick causing a shower of rose petals to fall to the ground. "It's perfect thank you!" While the girl was testing the wand, Sinead turned to the boy, studying him for a moment, before lening behind her and taking a box off the counter. She took the wand from the box and held it out to him.
"Elm, Unicorn Tail Hair, 10 inches" she said, smiling at him as he took it. She looked at them both and sighed.
"May I ask as to why you both need new wands?" she asked. People just didn't cherish their wands like they used to. Angel frowned and smiled apologetically, she had loved her old wand so much. "Let's just say my cousins are in a lot of trouble for playing tug of war with it and my aunt and uncle are in trouble for taking it away from me and keeping it in their room with the wardrobe unlocked." |

Aidan walked into Ollivanders, hoping that the damage to his wand could be repaired. It still worked most of the time, but ever since a classmate at Durmstrang had tried to hex him, it had occasionally behaved in strange ways. He'd heard that Ollivanders was the best place to buy wands; maybe they could also fix them.
He glanced around the shop, and smiled as he saw Angel, the girl he'd spoken to recently at the party. "Hi there," he said, turning on the charm. "Wand trouble?"
