Peeling gold letters over the door of the shop read: Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 B.C.. The shop's display consists of a solitary wand laying on a faded purple cushion in the dusty window. The shop is tiny, empty except for a single, spindly chair in the corner. Thousands of narrow boxes containing wands are piled right up to the ceiling of the tiny shop, and the whole place has a thin layer of dust about it.

You can't go through life quitting everything. 
Remi Reverne
Remi was about to walk in, as Zox stopped walking. "What's wrong?" Remi said quite confused, as the goblin huffed. "Magical creatures like myself are not allowed to have wands.... You'll go in by yourself." The goblin pushed him into the shop, and Remi was a nervous wreck. "Um..... Hello?" Remi coughed from all the dust in the store, and covered his nose and mouth. "Well hello, Here to get a wand little one?" A very polite (and creepy) voice said, as the shopkeeper appeared sorting the wands. "Um, yes.... it's on my school list..." Remi said nervously, as much he was trying not to be. "Wonderful, wonderful indeed. Now, which hand is your wand hand?" The shopkeeper said as he started to measure Remi's arms, fingers, and other very random things. "Well, I'm right handed if that is what you meant." Remi sighed as the keeper placed a wand in his hand. "Wave it, please...." The shopkeeper said, as Remi was about to wave it, it was snatched from him. "No... not it at all." the shopkeeper huffed, as Remi sighed. Oh, this is going to take awhile.... Remi thought dully.
"This is the last wand in this shop... this one has to be it...." The clerk said annoyed, as he sighed. "This is a 11" ash with a chimera scale core. it's a very rare type of wand, you know.... Very, very powerful." the Shopkeeper said as he passed the wand to the boy. "Say Accio to get this galleon. If that does not work, you shouldnt be here." the Shopkeeper said dully, as Remi waved the wand. "Accio Galleon!" Remi said as the galleon flew into his hand; and the shopkeeper laughed. "Well, there you go! your wand." the Shopkeeper packaged it as Remi payed for the wand. "Thank you!" Remi grinned, as he left for the door. "Zox! We're going to eat something!" Remi laughed and the goblin ran after him; and to the ice cream parlor they went.
If you're going to achieve anything, you've got to stick with something.

My name is: Jason Kirkland ══════════════════════════════ With his mother waiting outside, Jason entered the small shop and stared at all the wands in boxes packed high. So many different ones to choose from. He reached up for a dark blue box as a voice came from behind a stack in the back of the room. "Don't touch that!" Jason pulled back with a start and looked over to where the voice came from. It was an old man with a crazy laugh in his voice. "You might want to ask before touching," the old man said coming into full view now. Jason just stared at him with a blank expression on his face.
"Very well then..." the man said, not seeming to notice the silence, and pulled out a measuring tape. "Now hold out your wand hand." Jason held out his right arm without really thinking. He had seen his parents use their wands all the time with their writing hand, which is their right hand. The tape flew out and the end of it hovered just over his shoulder, the man looked at the end by the tips of Jason's fingers and nodded. "Okay..." The tape flew back into his plam and the clerk stuck it in his pocket.
Jason watched as the man stared at the boxes and then moved to another stack mumbling to himself. "Ah!" He came back carring a brown dusty box, and opened it. "Twelve inches. Oak. Dragon scale core." Jason grasped the wand and flicked at a lamp on the desk. It shattered and the two jumped back in shock. "Nope," the man said taking the wand out of his hands before more damage could be caused.
After several of wands that didn't fit, the man came back with a dusty black box in his hands. "Okay, this one should be it," he said looking a bit jittery. "Eleven inches. Redwood with a unicorn hair core." The man handed the wand to Jason. "Sure..." the first year muttered becoming bored, the last three times the man had said the same thing. With a flick towards the broken lamp, Jason felt the wand tug a bit on the magic inside him. The lamp pieces began to move and formed into a neat pile on the table instead of being all over the place.
The man gave a toothy smile. "That is your wand, sir." Jason couldn't help but smirk, he finally had a wand to call his own. The clerk wrapped up his wand and rang up the tab. Somehow his mother managed to come in once again at the right time to pay. "Have a good day!" the man behind the counter said with a wave before the door closed on him. ══════════════════════════════ ╒═══════════════════  I can't decided whether you should live or die.
Oh you'll probably go to heaven, please don't hang your head and cry. spaceFirst Year

David opened the door slowly as he didn't know whether he even wanted to go to Hogwarts anymore. He shuffled into the shop. He found a chair next to the door and sat down in it. He only wanted a single human friend. Was that too much to ask? Shatei had decided to follow him inside this time as he had never seen a wand before. His tail gently waving back and forth behind him he sat down next to David.
David didn't even want to ask for a wand as he was considering just leaving and going back to where he came from. Hearing a sudden shuffled footstep he looked up.

((This is a bit past the Harry potter series, so Here's the clerk.))
"Well, hello young one. Are you here for a wand? for I havent seen you come through the doors before..." A young man walked up to the boy, with a ton of boxes in his hands, still from the previous customer's tries. "Now, if you like to get started?" The clerk put down the boxes in the front counter, and opened a box. "This, Is a 10 and a half inch Mahogany with a Hippogriff Talon... Excellent for charm work, I must way... Give it a wave." Aries said politely as he passed the wand to the younger boy.
Now, I made many of them, but it chooses you.

David wiped his face before looking up at the clerk that had come to him. He wondered how this man would decide on his wand. He nodded with a meek look on his face as he took the wand and waved it. He caused a drawer to fly out from among the many and fall to the ground.

"No, no no... this isnt it... The wand chooses the wizard, as Ollivander used to say.. " Aries sighed, as he pulled out a another wand. "A Rosewood with a fairy wing core... Try it out, It's alittle better in the dark arts and transfiguration, but the absolute best for charm work." Aries said, as he went to fix the drawer, and gave the wand to him.

David's thoughts were now upon finding the wand that suited him best. He wondered what this one would do as he waved the wand. Sparks came flying out and the wand exerted flowers as it flew from his hand. David stared at the wand with questioning eyes as he began to wonder if this was worth trying to find the wand that was just for him.

((One more wand to go before the right one!))
"No....that isnt it either....." Aries rubbed his chin slightly annoyed, as he pulled out yet another wand. "13 inch Yew with a Boomslang venom core, And it's amazing for transfiguration. give it a wave...." Aries said as he switched the wands rather quickly, and was getting somewhat annoyed... but then again he was known to lose his temper, hence his name.
Now, I made many of them, but it chooses you.

David started wondering if the shopkeeper was upset with him. Was it because so far every wand had not been compatible? He didn't know, he gave the newest wand a wave and it as if a small explosion went off and it flew from his hand. David had stood up abruptly as it went off and he began shaking his hand. "Ok, that was not fun," David remarked as he stared at the wand that had tried to blow up his hand.

Aries sighed and shook his head. "That one simply hates you, doesnt it?" Aries frowned as he pulled out one more. "13 inch cottonwood with a Phoenix feather core , And it's good for the dark arts and Charms." Aries face palmed himself, knowing this might take forever to do. He gave the wand to the young boy, and waited for the result this time.
Now, I made many of them, but it chooses you.

David gave it a wave and this time was different he felt the wand pull something inside. He assumed it must be the magic. He wondered if that this was what it was supposed to feel like. The air sounded like it was whooshing around him and it felt unlike anything he had ever felt. He looked up at the man, hoping that this was his wand.

{On my terms Aries is starting to seem like he's gay... not as if was a bad thing or anything...}
Aries smiled and clapped happily. "That's it! that's the one! Yes! Yes indeed!" Aries jumped up and down and took the wand and packaged it. "That will be 7 galleons please!" Aries said as he seemed more happy-go-lucky than he was before hand. Aries then started to put away the rest of the Wands very quickly, and in a orderly fashion.. with an hint of dancing?
Now, I made many of them, but it chooses you.

David almost chuckled at the man's excited manner. He shoved his hand into his pocket to withdraw seven gold coins it seemed to him. David thought for sure this was what the man was speaking of when he said,"galleons." He placed them on the counter, eager to hold his new wand. He wondered if this was how all first years felt when they first get their wands.

"Thank you! Now dont try to use spells with it outside of hogwarts! it's against the rules until you graduate!" Aries grinned as he kept on with his work, and placed the money into a safe way in back of the store. Aries then gave the package to the boy, and then worked on his merry way.
