The Wandmaker of Ollivander's

Chapter 3

Hermione had been checking everything off the list that Professor McGonagall had given her. "Ye still need yer wand? 'ares no better place 'an Ollivander's." The shop keeper of Flourish & Blotts said to Hermione as he handed her the books. She thanked him and she and her parents walked back out into the ally to find Ollivander's.  They found the store, when they did Hermione's parents stopped. "Hermione dear, I think your mother and I are going to go check out that news stand. Come and find us when your done, alright?" Hermione nodded to her father and entered the store.  The store was small and shabby, a thin layer of dust covering everything. The only thing in the shop was a small desk in the front then in the back rows and rows and rows of small rectangular boxes. A wizard popped out from behind the counter, his robes were worn, his grey hair wild. "Miss Granger, I suppose your here for your wand?" Hermione was rather shocked the old man knew her name. "Um, yes, yes I am, Mr. Ollivander?" Ollivander disappeared into the rows of boxes, shortly, he returned with a opened box. "Hawthorne and dragon heartstring, eleven inches. Quite flexible." He handed the wand to Hermione, "Go ahead, wave it," She slowly waved the wand in the air, Ollivander let out an unsatisfied grunt and took the wand. He disappeared again, gone for longer this time, but sure enough he returned again. "Vinewood and dragon heartstring, ten and three-quarters inches. Slightly pliant." Hermione pulled the wand out of the box, suddenly she felt a warmth in her hand. She waved this wand, yellow sparks came out the end of it illuminating the tiny store. "That's the one!" Mr. Ollivander said excitedly, he took the wand from Hermione and placed it back in its box. She gave him seven of what she learned were Galleons for the wand and left the shop. Her parents were talking with Professor McGonagall at the news paper stand. "Got everything Hermione?" She nodded to her mother and the four of them walked back to the book shop they had arrived at. They left the same way the came, except Professor McGonagall, she took Hermione's trunk while her parents traveled by floo powder. Again, it was Hermione's turn. Being more prepared, she took the handful and closed her eyes. She was back at her home standing in the fireplace at her house. Professor McGonagall was there with her trunk. She handed Hermione a small piece of paper, "That is your ticket, platform nine and three-quarters, make sure your there before eleven o'clock." Hermione took the paper and the witch turned into a cat, she opened the door for the professor then lugged her trunk back to her room.  Hermione opened the door to her room and a blonde haired girl was sitting on her bed. "Piper? What're you er doing here?" Piper looked up from the book she was reading, "Oi, Mione you left your window open, so you got your letter?" The blonde pointed to the trunk Hermione was attempting to hide behind her.  "Wha.. What letter?" Hermione replied, she would have to play dumb. "Come on, I'm not stupid, I know you got your Hogwarts letter. My parents are wizards, I just got mine yesterday." She'd just have to trust Piper, obviously she knew more about than Hermione did.  Hermione shut the door and sat on her bed next to Piper, "Alright, alright, yeah, I got my letter and everything. My family just got back from Diagon Ally." Piper laughed, "I noticed." Hermione shifted uncomfortably, her mind had gone back to the strange encounter at the book shop. "Hey Piper, what does mudblood mean?" Piper looked taken aback at the question, "It means dirty blood, like someone who doesn't have magical parents.. Like you, who called you that? I'll kill em!" Piper had stood up, clenching her fists. "It was just some boy, he came up to me, kissed my hand and everything. But then his father came along and told him I was a mudblood, after that a quite repulsive look came on his face." Hermione explained in attempt to calm her friend. "Wait back it up" Piper replied sitting back down, "You let a boy kiss your hand, Mione!" Hermione blushed at the accusation, "Maybe, it all happened so fast." "Well, who was it?" Piper looked at her excitedly, "D-Draco Malfoy, but like I said, he looked at me like I was vermi-" Hermione tried to defend herself, she wanted to say more but her friend cut her off. "MALFOY!" Piper about screeched, "All the Malfoys are the biggest, stuck up gits out there!" Hermione nodded it agreement, the boy had been nice at first.   "You scared me for a sec Mione, I thought you liked a Malfoy." Hermione's face screwed up, she'd be happy if she never saw that git again. Or his father. A yell came from the inside of the Granger's house. "Hermione, dinner!" Hermione looked at Piper, "Can you stay for dinner?" Piper smiled, "I was hoping you'd ask, mum's cooking tonight." Piper made a face of disgust, but at the same time there was a glint of amusement in her eyes. The two girls walked into the dining room, Hermione's mother walked in and sat a plate in front of Hermione and one in front of Piper. "Hello Mrs. Granger," Piper smiled charmingly at Hermione's mother. "Piper, I thought I heard your voice so I made you a plate. Once you two finish I made pudding." Hermione and Piper looked at each other and began eating quickly. After only a few minutes their plates were empty, they showed Hermione's mother their plates which were soon refilled with pudding. They enjoyed every last drop of it then took their plates to the sink, Hermione washed them and Piper dried them and put them away.  They walked back into Hermione's room, chatting excitedly about Hogwarts. Hermione showed Piper some of the things they got in Diagon Ally that day as well as her wand. It was growing dark out, Piper checked her watch. "Its late I better get going, see you later!" Piper waved to Hermione and climbed out her window.  Hermione packed her things away in her trunk, pushing it to the wall. She performed her nightly rituals, pajamas, brush hair, brush teeth. She decided tomorrow she would start reading the books she got today since she blew most of the day with Piper.  Hermione climbed into bed, pulling her sheets over her and her blanket, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
