Chapter 3: Ollivander's

The Leaky Cauldron, gateway to Diagon Alley.

As Harry and Hagrid stepped in, Harry was looking around. Wondering if it would be the same as last time.

"Hello Hagrid, what are you up to today?" Tom asked.

"Ah, jus' takin' 'arry shoppin' for his school supplies"

Oh no... not this again. Harry thought

"Is that? Can it be? Harry Po-" Tom said abruptly.

"Excuse me, but can you PLEASE not say my name, I don't want anyone to know that I'm here." Harry interrupted.

"Ah, my apologies Mister Potter" Tom whispered.

The left the bar and went to the gate of Diagon Alley. It was the exact same as he thought it was the first time.

"So, 'arry what dya 'ant ter get first?" Hagrid asked.

"Let's go get my wand" Harry replied. I wonder if it's going be the same wand as last time.

"Ollivander's it is then, but firs' we gotta get yeh some money." Hagrid replied cheerfully.

Oh yeah, forgot about the money part. Harry thought

GRINGOTTS BANK

"Ah welcome to Gringotts, how can I help you today?" asked the goblin clerk.

"We need ter' get sum money from the vaults" replied Hagrid

"I see, GRIPHOOK!" the clerk yelled.

A few seconds later another goblin appeared, and bowed to them.

"I'll be taking you down to the vaults." Griphook stated.

It was a wild ride going down to the vaults. They were in and out of Harry's vault in a few moments. Then they went to pick up the package Dumbledore sent Hagrid to retrieve.

The Philosopher's Stone, I wonder what I could do with it. I'm pretty sure Dumbledore never destroyed it last year. Harry thought

"'ell tim' ter go ter Ollivander's now" Hagrid shouted

As they walked into the shop, they noticed that, it was filled with boxes from the floor to the ceiling, all containing wands.

"Ah, Hagrid. Would you mind waiting outside while I buy my wand, I want to go in there by myself" Harry asked.

"Yeh shure? Alrigh' then. I'll wait for you then."

As Hagrid left the shop, Harry yelled out.

"Ollivander! Come out here"

"Ah, Mr. Potter. The young have so much energy today. It seems like it was just yesterday when you father came to get his wand, oh what was it-" Ollivander continued rambling about Harry's parents.

"Errm... I'd like to get my wand now, if you're done with the stories" Harry asked, trying to be as polite as possible.

"What's your wand arm?" Ollivander asked

"Right"

"Ah sorry, so let's try one of these." Ollivander replied offhandedly, while picking boxes off the shelves.

A few minutes later, and many wands after.

"Ah, tricky customer aren't you?"

"Uhh... I guess. I was wondering if you have and personalized wands, instead of these normal wands." Harry asked.

"Oh yes, I do. However they cost much, much more." Ollivander said.

"I'll take one then." Harry replied

"If you would just step here, and tell me which wand core feels the best." Ollivander directed.

Harry stepped into the room with the materials. He slowly began to feel a few pulls, one towards the a vial of basilisk venom, another towards dementor hide, a third one towards unicorn blood (which was willingly given) and finally the fourth one towards a wand (which Harry suspected was the one he would have bought).

"My, my... Never have I met a person with four wand cores. Ah... I see, the core in that wand, same as the one that give you the scar on your forehead. Ah, I must be rambling, now it's time to choose the wood" Ollivander said, clearly amused at the challenge that was given to him. "Step here if you would please, same process as before."

Harry walked over to where the wand woods were. He waited, a while and then felt a pull towards a certain wood he couldn't identify.

"Ah, so I see you've been chosen by the wood from a Shadow Tree. Your wand... curious, really curious..." Ollivander mumbled.

"Sir, what's curious?" Harry asked, this time really confused.

"You are destined for great things, terrible or good, I do not know. Your wand, a balance between light and dark creatures, will be proficient at Light and Dark magic. I expect great things from you Mr. Potter. Will that be all for today?" Ollivander asked.

"Yes, I believe so." Harry replied

"That'll be lets see... 68 Galleons" Ollivander said.

Oh man, 68 GALLEONS! My first wand was only 7. Sigh... I've got to be careful for what I spend today then. Harry thought.

"Here you go" Harry replied while counting the money.

"It'll be ready in about 5 minutes, I'll throw in this wand holster for you, just so that you won't damage the masterpiece." Ollivander said.

Harry sat and wondered about his wand. FOUR CORES! That was a bit much, but still it contained both the extremes of both sides. At least he got a free wand holster this time.

Strapping the wand holster to his arm, he began to wonder what else could go more weird today.

"Ah here it is, done at last. Do take care of it, it is one of my better, no it is my best work."

"I will, don't worry!" Harry shouted while leaving.

AN: Ah, thanks for the reviews, more than I thought I'd get. I should reply to them right? Yeah, this story takes a long time to write, what with all the supplementary forms for university due in the next few days. Next update should be sometime before the week's end (talking about Saturday... maybe Sunday. Let's hope its not too long from now). Anyone got any ideas for what should happen? I'm learning how to write stories, slowly. So feedback would be greatly appreciated!
