Charlotte walked slowly into the wand shop, in awe of all of the wand boxes stacked to the ceiling. It was a while before she spotted Olivander, the shop keeper, camouflaged in a corner.
"May I be of assistance?" he called to Charlotte from his position.
"Oh, yes! I'm looking for a new wand..." She replied, slightly alarmed at his raspy voice.
"Ah, let me summon my tape." his voice sounded from a distance. He returned with a measuring tape at his side, the tape measured every inch of Charlotte while Olivander took notes, asking her questions as he went.
"Okay, let's get started. Heres a 13 inch Yew wand, dragon heartstring, very powerful." Olivander stated as he handed Charlotte a long, thin wand. Before she could even touch it, he turned his back, taking the wand with him.
"No, no... not for you. Here, try this one." he returned with a significantly smaller box. "Elm, 11 inches, phoenix feather, nice and supple." He let her wave the wand a few times, contemplating, after a few helpless swishes he swiped it away.
"Definitely phoenix feather..." he mumbled under his breath. He came back with yet another box, smaller than the two previous ones. He handed her the wand, and smiled wide. Charlotte didn't know if she had been imagining the sudden warmth surrounding her, or if the wand was illuminating the room.
"Yes, yes! Good, seems the perfect match!" Olivander whispered excitedly. "Phoenix feather, 9 1/2 inches, Mahogany, light and easy"
Charlotte left the store, satisfied with her purchase. It was time to head to some other stores to get her school books.
