Chapter 5
Racing down the depth caverns in a cartlike structure. The cart stops, a goblin, Griphook, clambers out. " Hagrid why do I have a bad feeling about this . " Leon said as he just smile at her while calming her down .
Once they have arrived to their destination , " Vault 130 . Lamp, please. " He said as Hagrid hands him the lamp and he walks to the vault.
" Key please. " He said while Hagrid hands him the key and he unlocks it . The room is filled top to bottom with coins and dollar notes Leon was amazed .
" Didn't think your mum and dad would leave you with nothing, now didja ? " While they were taking some of the cash, Leon saw something and went over before picking it up.
" Hagrid what's this ? " she asked as Hagrid walk towards Leon who was holding a necklace sword around it was a dragon along with a wolf collar pin brooch .
"You better hang on to that . It's better to put it on when you are in Hogwarts . " He as she smile as he pass her a box leaving Leon clueless before she came back to her sense and grab the money as they continue on through the cavern.
" Vault 713. " Griphook said as Leon look at him, confusingly.
" What's in there, Hagrid ? " She asked.
" Can't tell you, Leon. It's Hogwarts business. Very secret. " She nodded then they alight the so call car.
" Stand back. " He slides finger down the door. Clank. Clank. The vault opens to expose a small white stone package. Hagrid hurries in and scoops it up. The eerie light it was shining with disappears. The he look at her, " Best not mention this to anyone, Leon. " he said as Leon nods.
An Hour Later
They are outside in the street, walking and buying Leon's school stuff . She check her list " I still need...a wand . " She said to Hagrid who looked at her.
" A wand? Well, you'll want Ollivanders . No place better . Oh Dumbledore said your wand is in there , you can just collect it now run along there, but wait. I just got one more thing I got to do. Won't be long. " Leon goes into the store, quietly. She looks around.
There are shelves of wands, but no people. Not knowing which is wand is Hagrid talking about. " Hello ? Hello ? " She said softly then there is a thunk. A man appears on a ladder and looks at Leon. He smiles.
" I wondered when I'd be seeing you, Mrs. Wu . It seems only yesterday that your mother and father were in here buying their first wands. " He said as Leon look at him the he picks a wand.
" Ah. Here we are this one . " He said as Leon holds it but just stands.
" Well, give it a wave. " He said . " Oh ! " She waves then all the shelves come crashing down. Leon jumps and hurriedly puts the wand back on the counter.
" Apparently not. " Ollivanders said while getting another wand.
" Perhaps this. " Leon waves at a vase, which blows apart." No, no, definitely not! No matter... " While getting another wand .
" I wonder. " He said as he hands the white as snow and dragon was around the wand to Leon. Leon glows under it.
" Curious, very curious. " He said while Leon look at him.
" Sorry, but what's curious? " She asked.
" I remember every wand I've ever sold, Mrs. Leon. It just so happens that the phoenix, whose tail feather resides in your wand gave one other feather, just one. It is curious that you should be destined for this wand when its brother gave you that scar. " He points to scar on her shoulder .
" Who does this belong to ? " She asked then he look at her with horror. " Oh, we do not speak his name. The wand chooses the wizard, Mr. Leon. It's not always clear why, but I think it is clear that we can expect great things from you. After all, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named did great things...terrible, yes, but great. " He hands Leon ,her wand. She watch him walk away , she look back the wand . ' He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named ? ' she started to get curious .
Then there is a knock on the window. " Leon ! Leon ! " She look around to see Hagrid was the one who was calling her .
" Happy birthday! " Hagrid said while showing to her a wolf that could change into a dragon in a cage which hoots. Leon smile at him " Wow . " She smile while grabbing her stuff and hug him .
Later
Both, Hagrid and Leon, are at a long table, eating soup. " You all right , Leon ? You seem very quiet . " She sigh then look at him.
"He took my parents somewhere, didn't he ? The one who gave me this. " She said while touching her scar on her shoulder , as Hagrid stop what he was doing and look at her .
"You know, Hagrid, I know you do . " She said while touching the ring , Hagrid sighs and pushes bowl away. " First, and understand this, Leon , 'cause it's very important. Not all wizards are good. Some of them go bad. A few years ago there was one wizard who went as bad as you can go. And his name was V-...his name was V-... " He mumbles and doesn't dare to his name then she look at him uneasy.
" Maybe if you wrote it down ? " She suggested .
" No, I can't spell it. All right. His name was Voldemort the 2nd . " He said as Leon look at him. " Voldemort ? " She said " Shh!! " He replied quickly as Leon looks around .
A flashback ensues, consisting off a cloaked man walking towards a house, breaking in with his wand, and proceeding to terrorize . " It was dark times, Leon , dark times. Voldemort started to gather some followers, brought 'em over to the dark side. Anyone that stood up to him ended up dead. Your parents fought against him, but nobody came out once he decided to trap 'em. " Leon's mother, Luna , screams as she is trap somewhere by Voldemort's wand . Nobody...not one. Except you . "
" Me? Voldemort tried to kill...me ? " She whisper with disbelief as Hagrid nodded.
" Yes . That ain't no ordinary cut on your shoulder , Leon . A mark like that only comes from being touched by a curse...and an evil curse at that . " Then she stare before touching her scar.
" What happened to Vo-...to You-Know-Who? " She asked as Hagrid sigh.
" Some say he died. Codswallop in my opinion. Nope, I reckon he's out there, still, too tired to go on. But one thing's absolutely certain. Something about you stumped him that night. That's why you're famous, Leon . That's why everbody knows your name. You're the girl who lived. " He said as she look down with weird eyes .
" So where did I live ? " She asked as Hagrid smile. " I can't tell you but after Hogwarts for your first year I'll take you there . " She smile while eating her soup .
