Oh, of course.

Alaina had snapped. She stepped into the wand shop, rolling her eyes as the people behind her screamed. She walked a few steps, taking in the new shop, the new items. It was interesting here. Doing anything but forgetting what just happened, she stepped up to the counter. She didn’t bother ring the bell though, she had been paying attention enough to hear the bell of the door ring, the shop keeper would hear it. She needed her wand though, and now. Well…then again. Staying in here longer would mean staying away from her father. A smile crept onto Alaina’s face, forgetting the anger of the moment before.

Alaina relaxed; not at all worried about the amount of time it would take her to get a wand. For all she cared, it could take three hours. She would wait. And her father might leave her to herself, and then…then….then…she wasn’t sure. But, her father wouldn’t leave. She knew that. Her father would stay out there, waiting and waiting if she dilly dallied in here. And then it would be paid for later.

Alaina already had a wand; she glanced at the direction of it. It was sitting in her bag. Probably lonely with dust. If wands could get lonely. Her father was insisting she get a new wand for the New Year. Weren’t you only supposed to have one wand? Whatever. She would miss her old wand though. And she was probably the only 14 year old getting sorted this year. She was a fourth year; it’s just that she came from a school in Australia. Now, her accent made her wince every single time. It felt as though she was different, and she was. For now. Until she adapted the accent everybody else seemed to have.

Dana was washing off her small table far towards the back of the wand shop when she heard the jingling of the bell right above the door. “I’m coming, I’m coming” Dana called from her room, her old voice cracked and quivered as she yelled. Who ever was at the door didn’t bother ringing again or tapping on the counter bell so she figured they weren’t in much of a hurry.

When she got to the front room she saw a girl that looked vaguely familiar and much older then a first year. “Hello there dear, I doubt you’re here buyin’ your first wand. I take it your lookin’ fer a replacement or some company” Dana laughed at her joke knowing any teenage witch or wizard wouldn’t seek company in the old wand keepers shop.

“So you need a new wand” Dana scanned her shelves of wands and pulled a box from a high spot, it was silver in color, she set the box back on the old wooden counter and opened it up and slid out a very long slender red wand. “It mahogany, with phoenix feather core, well you know what to do!”

Alaina had only been sitting there for a moment before she heard the call of a woman. "I'm coming, I'm coming" came from the back of the wand shop. Alaina smiled and shook her head when the woman talked about her not buying her first wand. Actually, this was her second wand...although..she would rather not get a second wand..but she didn't say anything. "Yes..uhm...a replacement." Alaina didn't like the sound of that..replacement..she liked her old wand, and her Australia accent made it all the worse. But, it didn't sound all THAT different. Maybe a little though.

Alaina watched as the woman pulled out a wand, telling her about the making of it and such. She smiled when the woman said "You know what to do!" Flicking it, it made a few sparks, and her old wand fell off of the chair in the corner. "Oh..sorry" She walked to her wand and picked it up, stuffing it quickly into her bag. "This is great...it's really pretty"
