SPOILER!!: Shopkeep!

More good news on that front too. Zeke beamed as the wand produced its magic, a sure sign of a match, swiftly confirmed by the boy's announcement. "Wonderful. Then it seems this wand has indeed chosen you." Absolutely undeniable.

"Now, then. This wand is nine and a half inches of sturdy juniper, with a unicorn hair at its core." Rather an attractive wand wood; certainly juniper wands varied in colour from milky white to a deep reddish-brown, with those attractive swirling patterns in the grain. Often when customers requested to try a 'pretty' wand, Zeke's mind would veer towards juniper (though he never strayed from his tried and true wand-fitting process). "It's said that juniper is attracted to honest and compassionate individuals, and one interesting characteristic is that juniper wands are rarely obtained by thievery. If someone were to try and steal a juniper wand, it will often find its way back to its owner. In terms of magic, it is well suited to healing spells - especially with this particular core, too - defensive magic, and protection spells. These wands are able to purify water sources and free them from poison." Just a fun little fact, who knew how often that might come in handy. "Unicorn hair makes for wands that are very faithful, very consistent, and very reliable. You'll find this wand is also well suited to charms and transfigurations, and especially to more subtle and delicate kinds of magic."

And there they had it. Worth the encounter with that tricksy first wand, Zeke hoped. "The wand itself is 10 galleons. And we have some other products and services available... though I'm sure you know that already." At least, if that comment about the velvet holster was anything to go by. But that reminded him; this boy had entered as part of a group. "Will you be paying separately, or are we waiting until everyone is matched?"

[9½ inch sturdy juniper with unicorn hair]

Oh.

That’s where all his worry went. One of his sisters had clearly absorbed it all. “Quite fine, Ari,’’ Johnny reassured, smiling brightly. “It wasn’t a burn like you’d get from an iron or a pot on mom’s stove. It was more like the wand got extra warm.” That was all. He gave Tiff a quick grin, checked on his whispering parents once more then turned back to Mr. Expert Shopkeeper.

Ohhh!

All that information about his new {and hopefully, lifelong} wand! Johnny could not help but keep his gaze fixated on the quite lovely looking masterpiece. The pattern was also quite hypnotising. Jon nodded at intervals to indicate his understanding. Already he could tell how powerful the wand was. “I’ll make sure to take very good care of it.” There was a pause. “I’ll go to School feeling very confident about Charms and Transfiguration classes!”

The eleven year old grinned. “I sure do! Your services here are quite popular, after all. I’ll take a polish, please.” So that was three items in total: the wand, the velvet holster and the polish. “I’ll pay right now! Mum and dad gave me money to pay for everything.” Jon, with the help of his fingers, counted out the appropriate amount for the items and held out the coins to the shopkeeper.
