And oh, how lucky she was to be able to share this special day with her dearest cousin. "When we're done here, we should get ice cream, Rosie," the eldest Archer kid told her cousin, offering her a big grin.

After pushing the door to the wand shop open, Ascella wasted no time in getting in line. She knew many other first years like her would be coming in to have their wands fitted, so she didn't want to take long in here because ice cream awaits! She hummed and tapped her fingers against her side to the tune of the last cello piece she was practicing on, while she waited for her turn to be accommodated.

Oh, and that magical measuring tape sure was a silly thing! Ascella smiled a little as she watched the tape fly around, taking her measurements even of the most...interesting places. Why the tape was measuring the circumference of her head, she had no idea at the moment. Maybe she'll ask the wand maker why it was necessary, when it was her turn.

It was time to get her ~~fancy magic stick~~ wand, and Brianna Rose Woods was excited! Beyond excited, even. Today was her first real foray into the magical world, and she'd been wiggling with excitement ever since she got the letter (Delivered by an OWL? Absolutely wicked). And she got to go on the same day as Ascella too!

Now, Rosie did not really know that the reason they had chosen to do this together because her mother was highkey overwhelmed by all the magic stuff, and that it was a lot easier to manage under the watchful eyes of Uncle Brian and Reuben, but what Rosie doesn't know won't hurt her. What might actually hurt her was this measuring tape, though, with its poking and prodding in all the randomest places -- WHY WAS IT MEASURING THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF HER ELBOW? THAT TICKLED!

Giggling as she swatted halfheartedly at the measuring tape, she looked over at her cousin. "Mama said we're meant to meet her at the ice cream place, so I think they're definitely going to buy us ice cream!" Wasn't that wonderful? She'd also been given magic money to pay for her wand, which was also so cool, although it didn't make a lot of sense.

"Is wizarding money also magic, or do you think it's just that they don't know how to use a credit card?" she asked, halfway into yet another daydream. "It really doesn't make any sense why you would want to jiggle jiggle 24/7. It's so impractical."
