:: 4 :: The man and the wands



The wand was the last thing on their list, other then a pet. Harry was licking at his ice cream with a sleepiness from their long day out, along with having gone through the goblins unblocking of his natural gifts.

"Dad my feet hurt." Harry told Percy as they got towards their destination.

"We'll be done soon, hang in there okay? I'll make your favorite dinner later, sound good?" Percy says amused by his son as they entered Olivanders.

It was a narrow and shabby shop with gold lettering peeling over the doorway they entered, a single wand lay in the dusty window where Harry had finally realized they were finally there. A tinkling bell went off in the depths of the shop when they stepped towards the counter, where nobody stood. The floor was empty except for dust and a spindly chair Percy sat in to wait. There were rows of endless narrow shoe like boxes lined up to the ceiling behind the counter. It looked like it didn't stop.

Harry felt like he was in a strict library, very different from the bookstore they were just in. He shuddered a little at the thought of a certain gods library. He nearly got lost in it.

The dust seemed to be filled with a certain mystery even if it was just dust, making Harry fidget in place. Then he remembered something. Another reason libraries made him nervous. "Dad this reminds me of our home library." They both laughed.

Before Percy could respond someone else's voice floated to their ears. "Good afternoon." Said the soft old voice of the old man now behind the counter, his silvery moon like eyes twinkling as he watched them.

Harry jumped at his arrival, hearing his father too jump and get out of the chair he had sat in.

The old man before them was spindly and thin, white as snow hair and wide pale eyes shining like moons through the gloom of the shops interior.

"Hello." Harry said awkwardly as his father came to stand behind him in silent support.

"Ah yes," said the moon eyed man as he looked at Harry, his eyes seeming to look through him in a way that made Harry feel slightly exposed. "Yes, yes. I thought I'd be seeing you soon. Harry Potter." It wasn't a question and it made Harry frown. "You have your mother's eyes. It seems only yesterday she came in here herself, buying her first wand. Ten a quarter inches long, swishy, made of willow. Nice wand for charm work." He said in a listless way.

'Only if he knew' Percy snorted, while Harry got his fathers voice in his head and tried not to laugh as well.

Olivander moved closer to Harry who didn't dare blink, the silvery eyes of the old man were a bit creepy. "Your father on the other hand, favored a mahogany wand. Eleven inches. Pliable. A little more power and excellent at transfiguration. Well, I say your father favored it. When it's really the wand that chooses the wizard of course." He spoke getting closer, touching the scar on his forehead with a long white finger. 'I feel assaulted' Harry thought as Olivander continued. "I'm sorry to say that I sold the wand that did it. Thirteen and a half inches. Yew. Powerful wand, very powerful and in the wrong hands.....well, if I'd known what that wand was going out into the world to do..."  he shook his head then, and to Harry's relief spotted his father.

"Oh shite..." his father muttered under his breath once the man had payed more attention to who Harry was with.

"Percy Jackson! How lovely to see you again, sea wood, thirteen inches and flexible wasn't it?" He said with a doey look.

Harry confused as it didn't look like any wood when he saw it, but when his father put another wand up that was much plainer then the first, he understood his father had two wands.

"Yup." His father replied with a tight smile.

"Powerful wand that one." Olivander says.

"Mhm." Percy hummed as he shuffled his feet.

"Very Powerful." He added. "Hmm," Olivander studied him before turning to Harry once more. "Well, now Mr.Potter. Let me see." He pulled a long tape measure with silver markings out of his pocket. "Which is your wand arm?"

Harry thought for a slow second but shrugged. "I'm ambidextrous actually. So either?"

"Hold out an arm. That's it." Olivander ordered as Harry put an arm out, his right but either way.

He measured Harry from Shoulder to finger then wrist to Elbow, then shoulder to floor. Knee to armpit and around his head. Harry stood as still as possible. As he measured he went off on a tale. "Every Olivander wand has a core of powerful magical substance Mr.Potter." And if Harry was getting annoyed with the Potter part, he would have done something and he nearly wanted to. "We use unicorn hairs, Phoenix tail feathers, and the heartstrings of dragons. No two Olivander 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 from any other wand but your own."

Harry suddenly realized the tape measure, which was measuring between his nostrils, was doing it all on its own now. Olivander was moving through and around the shelves now, taking down boxes as he went.

"That will do," the tape measure crumbled to the floor. "Right then Mr.Potter try this one. Beechwood and dragon heartstring. Nine inches, nice and flexible. Just take it and give it a wave."

Harry looked to Percy who pushed him forward towards the counter of boxes. He took the wand up and waved it a bunch before it was snatched from his hands. 'Rude Much' he thought as Olivander placed it back in its box.

Again he tried with another, raising it only for that to to get snatched away, and both the males were getting annoyed by the old man. Who wasn't even flinching at Percy's glare.

"No, no here try this one." And again and again it went like this.

The boxes they've tried piling high on the spindly chair by now and the more wands they tried, the more the old man got happier much to the Jackson's unamused boredom.

"Trick customer eh? Not to worry, we'll find the perfect match here....somewhere..." he looked through the boxes again in the aisles. "I wonder now..." he said as he glanced back at a now very Nervous Harry. "Yes, why not? Unusual combination. Black Walnut and Phoenix feather, eleven inches, nice and supple." He set the box down in front of him.

Harry looked at the box, before sighing and opening it to find the wand in all its glory, he picked it up and felt a warmth trickle into his fingers. He raised it and brought it down through the dusty air with streams of gold sparks mixed with red and blue following like fireworks throwing light onto the old walls.

Behind Harry, Percy started clapping with excitement.

"Oh bravo! Yes Indeed. Oh very good! Well, well, well...how curious...how very curious...." Mr.Mccreep cried out a curious look in his eyes and well Harry didn't like it, thus the name. He put the wand back into the box and then he wrapped it in brown paper. All the while muttering, Harry didn't want to question it. Then he fixed Harry with his pale stare. "The wand chooses its wielder. Remember, ...I think we must expect great things from you Mr.Potter...After all, he-who-must-not-be-named did great things, terrible, yes, but great."

Harry shivered as his father brought him into his stomach, Harry holding his wand close. Percy paid for the wand and then quickly brought them out of the store and into the Sunny day outside.

They stood there for a minute, processing the inside of the store and how weird it was before shaking it off with a laugh.

Moving his hand to ruffle Harrys beanie clad hair, Percy smiled. "Let's get a pet or two, yeah?" He asked him.

Scrunchinghis nose he stepped away from his Dad to get his hair back into some decent order again. "No, your spoiling me again. You've got to stop that." Harry told him with a frown, his stomach rolling a bit.

"Never." He laughed and grabbed Harry's hand to start pulling him towards the pet shop just down the road aways.

The late afternoon sun hung low in the sky as Percy and Harry made their way to the shop Harry had gawked at earlier. Said boy, now just realizing nearly every wizard was staring at his father who didn't pay any attention to them. Considering his fathers looks he wasn't that surprised, more weirded out.

They arrived at the shop, called Magical Menagerie. The owls that were outside seemed to watch every step they took. Harry immediately went to every animal he could see.   Both Jackson's found themselves a animal or more like two. Harry fell in love with a snowy owl that stood proudly on his shoulder and a puffskein that seemed inclined to snuggle deeply into his hair, it nearly would have blended in if it wasn't for its pastel purple color. Percy held a Kneazle, all black with bright green eyes and niffler that was snuggling his money bag within his pocket.

As they walked out, having bought and shrunk all they needed for their new pets. Percy patting his small kneazle. "So what are you naming yours?" He asked his son as they started off in a supposedly random direction.

"Um, I was thinking...maybe Angus for the puffskein?" Said Harry as the puffskein in question made a noise of question. They laughs. "Hedwig for the owl." He spoke as he kept her from within her cage. "You?"

"Hm, Chester for this little guy, and Bronx for the niffler snuggling my money." Percy laughed as he scratched behind the kneazles ear which began to purr. "Want a bite before we leave?"

Harry nodded and they found themselves in a muggle impersonating food shop, eating hamburgers. Percy had a plate full and they shared, until Percy was the only one eatting still as Harry was full.

"How do you eat so much?!" Harry asked as he watched his father finish his 12 burger.

Percy shrugged not looking so interested. "Little disappointed they aren't blue."

Harry laughs. "I'm surprised your hair isn't blue." When his father smirked he sighed. "I shouldn't have said that."
