Across the Worlds

Chapter 12

Eiri smiled as he pulled Perry along behind him, Draco chattering beside him and Lucius following behind showing only his usual gracefulness and hiding how badly he wanted to just go home and drink brandy in front of his fireplace.  Eiri was looking forward to this visit.

As he entered the store at Ollivanders he looked around for the shop owner, who he knew had a love of surprising his customers. Harry and Lucius were the only ones prepared for the surprise appearance of Ollivander… (Perry had received his wand from Germany) Draco unfortunately was very surprised at the sudden appearance of the golden eyed white haired man… so surprised that he threw forward his hands and the fire behind Ollivander jumped up and set the old mans butt on fire.

Ollivander was  so surprised at the pain in his rear that he lost his footing, falling head first into a full shelf of wands. Lucius was laughing inside his head, but outside his head he kept a straight face and with a silent Aguamenti, put out the fire.

Ollivander excused himself and returned five minutes later wearing a different set of pants… everyone wisely refrained from saying anything and he quickly began his tape measure on the measurements of Eiri.

Two hours later Eiri was getting very frustrated, he had tried nearly every wand in the shop; including the one he had partnered in his previous life. Finally Ollivander had an idea and brought a dilapidated box from his workroom. Eiri knew before it was even opened that this wand would work for him.

The wand was black and had a yellow eastern dragon detailed on the handle. Ollivander showed a reverent respect as he picked up the wand, slowly presenting the handle to Eiri, who grabbed it in a firm hold and felt an amazing rush from the wand.  The entire room became pitch black with sparks like fireworks the same glowing blue-green shade as Eiri’s eyes.

As the wave of darkness receded back into the wand a great rush of power came from the wand signifying the bond, knocking the other four off their feet and leaving only Eiri on his.

Later

Perry was sitting in the study with Lucius and Aurelia recounting the adventures of the day with a glass of Firewhiskey. Eiri and Draco were in Draco’s room going over that old book he had found.
