It was quite possible that this young man and his family might have heard a slight chuckle from amongst the stacks, where Zeke had been when he'd heard that little joke. Quite possible.

The man himself emerged a moment later, with a broad smile on his face as he approached his customer.

"Hello there," he greeted the boy, picking up his list of measurements so that he might consultant. "Ready to find your wand? Let's see here..." He ran a finger down the list of numbers, 'hmm'ing and nodding to himself as he did so. "Excellent. Give me just one moment."

And then he had stepped away again, but only briefly, taking down one of the wand boxes from a high up shelf and bringing it over. Zeke lifted off the lid, and offered the wand inside to the boy.

"You know what to do?" he asked. "Just give it a wave, and tell me what you think."

SPOILER!!: Charely Potter

'Now what' was the fun part. As soon as Zeke was done with one customer, it was immediately on to the next. He straightened his waistcoat and tie before moving along to this next boy, giving him a bright smile, and scooping up the list of measurements.

"Hello, hello," he greeted him, then consulted the measurements his tape and parchment had collected. "Let's see what we have here. Mhm, mhm, okay... wonderful. I'll be back in just a moment, and we'll see if we can't find you your wand."

With another smile, he set down the measurements and strode off purposefully, taking down a wand box from one of the shelves before returning. "Now, all you need to do is give this wand a wave," he said to the boy, removing the box's lid and offering the wand inside to him. "And we'll see what happens. Let me know what you think of it, if it feels right."

Between customers, Zeke stopped for only a moment to sip at a mug of coffee he kept just under the counter. Magic was a wonderful thing; the coffee never got any cooler than the perfect temperature when it was in his special enchanted mug.

But back to business! Zeke now strode up to his next customer, beckoning him forwards as he picked up the list of measurements. "Hello there," he greeted him, with a smile, before consulting the list of numbers. "All set for the big moment?" The big moment being the moment when he matched with his first - and, more than likely, lifelong - wand. He clicked his tongue as he considered the measurements, then looked up and smiled again. "That's all in order. Just give me one moment."

And off he went, scanning his shelves for the one he wanted. It didn't take long, as Zeke made a point of being extremely organised, and had a near encyclopaedic knowledge and memory of the contents of his shop. He returned to his customer, already lifting the lid from the wand box. "Ready? Just give this a wave, and tell me how it feels." They would also likely see a very obvious sign, of course, but the feeling was also important. He offered the wand inside the box to the boy.

He DID hold the door open just long enough for his mom to grab it - see, he was very thoughtful and he wasn't so eager that he'd let the door slam in anyone's face! - and then he hurried to jump into the queue for the measuring tape. He fidgeted while he waited, glancing back at his family every so often, brightening at their smiles and thumbs-up despite his restlessness. Waiting for something he was so excited for was agonizing, somehow worse than when he had been counting down the days and weeks beforehand. It was just so exciting! His first wand! It was almost here!!! Like the measuring tape! Here it was! Okay. Okayokayokay BREATHE. Zeph cooperated with every measurement the tape took, and soon enough it was already floating away to the next person. "I guess that means I measure up?" Not that the tape measure stuck around long enough to hear his amazing joke. (Could magical measuring tape hear?) But he himself appreciated it, and that was what mattered, right? Hehe.

He turned eleven back in December, but rules were rules. There's no point holding a wand without being able to do magic for many months. He wasn't alone though as he had his best friend Vi by his side and Papa! Daddy Dash was too busy at work, but Papa Rafa wouldn't miss it for the world. "Wow.." His eyes marveled at the sight. Lots of wands and only one would be his. How exciting! "You were right, this doesn't look scary at all." He waited until it was his turn before he went over to the measuring area and stood at attention. The tape tickled, as he fought the many giggles. Eventually, the measuring tape disappeared.

He was fairly excited to get his new wand, but you wouldn't be able to tell from the flat look on his face. But that was always the look on his face, to be fair. He looked around the shop and took it all in, the rows and rows of wands that stretched back for seemingly eternity. The fact that the one wand made specifically for him was in here somewhere was comforting in a strange way. He shuffled in line behind some other children. Every once in a while he would catch a stray thought—he was doing his best to block them out, like Jane had taught him to do, but some still slipped through the cracks. And then it was his turn to be measured. He lifted his arms to give access to measure him all over. His wide eyes watched very carefully as it wrapped around different parts of his body—his head, at one point, for some reason?—and then flew off to the next person in line. All that was left for him to do was wait some more. Between customers, Zeke stopped for only a moment to sip at a mug of coffee he kept just under the counter.
