Exclamation Magical Measuring Area


Just as you enter the shop, in between all the chaos that may or may not have been going on, is a rather open area with a measuring tape that seems to be hovering in mid air. It wiggles and flies around, ready to measure the next customer to walk into it's range. The measuring tape will eagerly measure your height, the reach of your arm, and maybe even other strange measurements to help the wandmakers find the best wand for you.

To one side you'll see the entrance way, where your parents may or may not be waiting for you, and just in front of you there is the fitting area and the counter. If you aren't in need of a wand, you best just head up to the counter. If you are, then step up here to be measured and one of the Ollivanders employees will be with you shortly to fit you with a wand.
Instructions
⌦ In order to receive a wand, please take the WAND QUIZ ONCE for the character who is here for a wand. Then, post your character being measured by the "magical measuring tape" ONCE in this thread. This thread is not one where you should interact with others, one post here please! It serves as our queue!

See the example post below, or look at other posts in this thread from previous terms.

⌦ Please take the SORTING QUIZ first and wait to be placed in your house before taking the wand quiz! Your house effects your final wand in our quiz! This goes for current members who are re-sorting too, though you may take the quiz in advance if you know what your new house will be.

⌦ You may role play the Magical measuring tape, but you may not role play for the shopkeepers. Ollivander does not work here!

⌦ After submitting the wand quiz and posting in this thread, please wait for your post to be edited with a link to the 'Counter and Wand Fittings' thread where a shop worker will assist you and your character in finding their perfect wand match. You must RP to get your wand.

If we run out of time to complete the RP with you by the end of the RP summer, we will PM or VM your wand result to you, provided you have posted in this thread and responded to our efforts to interact with you.

⌦ Have fun!

If you have any questions, feel free to PM Kerri (Govoni) and she'll try to answer your questions as quickly and efficiently as she can.



SPOILER!!: example post

Jessica went into Ollivanders with more than her share of nerves, it was time for her first wand! The eleven year old made her way over to the measuring area and waited for her turn. Soon enough the measuring tape reached her and began zipping about, straightening with a snap and measuring out her height and, when she held her arms out, she watched it take a measurement of how long they were too. Fun! Did that mean her wand would be as big as her whole arm?

The girl stepped away from the measuring area and she eagerly headed to the front for the shopkeeper to find her wand.

Unsure of whether non-magical people... er, "Muggles"... were permitted in Diagon Alley, Lex had passed through the Leaky Cauldron while his grandparents remained outside. Having exchanged his currency, he perused the outside of several shops, periodically checking his list of supplies in an attempt to determine where everything could be purchased. Finally, he stopped outside of Ollivander's. Lex looked inside the dimly lit shop. Unlike the noisy and vibrant street outside, this place seemed a great deal calmer. He checked his list again - sure enough, he needed a wand. Might as well stop here first.
Lex stepped inside, tilting his head at the sight of an old tape measure hanging in the air. As he approached, it zipped towards him, intrusively taking every measurement Lex could fathom it requiring and several he felt it did not. Finally, seemingly satisfied, it zipped past him and was still, as if awaiting its next customer. Noticing the length of the queue in front, Lex decided to pass the time more observantly. He wandered around the storefront, looking around at the rows of boxes and wand accessories. He had a feeling he would be collected when it was his turn to be seen.

Mason could hardly control her excitement as the long, magical tape whizzed all around her. She stuck out her arm, as if reaching for the tape. It held it's length against her arm, then measured her height (not that there was much to measure at this age)

It stopped whizzing around her and rolled itself up, landing softly on an end table nearby.

Mason's heart was beating in her throat. The prospect of getting her wand had left her in a state of disarray.

Zara had to buy her wand alone, miles and miles and too many more miles away from Rhys and her parents. She supposed she could've brought her aunt along with her, but it wouldn't have been the same.

Though wishing she had the familiar comfort of her little brother by her side, and rather uncomfortable with the rising realization that she was eleven now and about to leave home for the first time, Zara still entered Ollivander's with eager anticipation. She didn't have time to take in her surroundings before an overenthusiastic measuring tape all but assaulted her. The rising first year obliged the enchanted item as best she could, dutifully turning this way or that.

"Hurry uuuup, Rosie!"

Cornelius could hear her tiny heeled shoes clattering behind him, as well as his father's heavy breathing as he ran up to THE shop. The moment they had left Gringotts, Cornelius ZOOMED toward the place that was first on his list, accidentally forgetting his mum and sister in his excitement. But they'd understand.

In a matter of minutes he was standing awe-struck in front of the door. He pushed it in gently, as if it'd break if he added any more force. He ignored his dad calling out to him and let the door shut.

Sorry. His name wasn't Cornelius at the moment, it was Wand-go-getter.

The first thing he did was take in a loooong, deeeep breath. Ahhhhhh. Waaaands. His was here somewhere, ready to burst out of it's box.

So, being the divine being he was, the curly-haired boy spread his arms wide. Have a go at him, measuring things.

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

WAAND!! HE WAS GOING TO GET HIS WAND, MERLIN, MERLIN, HIS WAND, HE WAS GOING TO BUY HIS WAND NOW, AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!

Matt ran like crazy towards the Wandshop after him and his mother had set foot on Diagon Alley. She knew where he was going, right? No? Oh well, she would eventually find him she needed to pay for the wand after all.

He was READY to get his wand! Or wait for a wand to pick him even. AADKFJNSDKJFNSDF MERLIN, HIS WAND! THIS WAS SO EXCITING, Matt couldn't stay still. He had to wait, he knew, but FOR MERLIN, THIS WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.

As the measuring tape zoomed around him doing its thing, he WATCHED it intently. He didn't really try to stand THAT still, actually, and so the tape would slap his hand or arm every once in a while, making him STAAAARE at it and say "Finnnnne!" as he bounced some more before stopping for a few seconds.

COME ON, TAPE, YOU SLOWPOKE!

"You're running too fast!" Rosie called out to her dear best friend Cornelius Baltazar, despite her high enthusiasm and excitement she kept herself composed. Not going to ruin an GREAT pair of shoes over this, unless she had to shove people around in order to be the first one in line.

She could hear her mother's heels clinking behind her, oh those poor shoes. The nightmare they are going through! Relax mom!

So dramatic.

Entering right behind Cornelius, it was as if something clicked in the young girl's mind and she squealed! Yep legit squealing. "The...and the...oh my gosh!" Rosie, full of glee clapped her tiny hands, whom at the moment were covered by a very expensive pair of lace gloves. Talk about dramatic.

Alright lets do this!

Rosalinda gracefully walked over to get her measurements done, opening her arms wide and standing firmly tall, so there won't be no mistake with those numbers.

Hope was so excited! She was getting her wand! Her first ever wand!! She watched as the tape zoomed around her taking her measurements. she wasn't a 100% how everything worked but she was too excited to be nervous about it. she stuck out the appropriate limbs whenever the tape would jester for her too. She couldn't wait to be told what she was going to get!

Kaylee walked in with her older sister, Michelle. She was so excited to finally get her wand, she was bounced up and down.

"Ouch! Kay, you just jumped on my foot." Michelle said, trying not to smile at her baby sister's excitement.


"Oh sorry,Michelle." Kaylee blushed as she stopped bouncing. She glanced around and spotted the measuring area. "I think this is where I have to to get my wand" She said to Michelle, who gave a small smiled and nodded. Kaylee walked up to the measuring area, and waited for what ever was supposed to happen

It took him a really long time and a lot of planning before he was finally able to slip away from his mum and little sister. His mission today was completely dependent on his mum NOT knowing where he'd gone off to. Last night was the last window of opportunity to convince her and it hadn't worked. She wouldn't let him get a new wand. Well, he'd just see about that.

Blaise slipped into the room full of kids waiting to get their own wands. Hopefully they wouldn't get a shoddy one like he had otherwise they'd hate magic too.

That's what this place did. It crushed the dreams of young witches and wizards and he was a prime example. Someone had to put a stop to this--but not until he got a new one. He could play the hero warning the masses later.

Only question now was how to get the attention of the lady who gave him his last wand. Noticing a gap in the line (thanks to that kid that wasn't paying attention) the little boy slipped right in and came to the front of the line where measuring happened. Would she recognize him? No, it didn't matter, she gave him a shoddy wand and he wanted a new one.

Corbin had been looking forward to this for EVER. A wand. a PROPER WAND. Sure, he'd tried using his dads before, but Lorelai was just too quick for that. He almost pouted at the thought of his mother banishing the implement from his hands. What majorly sucked the most, though, was having to do this with Saffron in tow. Why had his parents had to have twins? The eleven year old thought he could have dealt with being one of ten if only he hadn't had to basically share EVERYTHING and a birthday with the biggest spoilt pants in the world.

He huffed at the thought.

"I'm the oldest. I'm going first." That was how it was going to work, Saffy-bum-stinky-pants. And so the OLDEST Stemp child held out his arms and let the magical measuring tape work its, well, magic. His foot tapped impatiently, and he was half tempted to pluck it from the air and measure himself manually.

Saffron was positive that the entire of London had heard her roll her eyes when Corbin went on and on about being the oldest. Did he really think anyone believed that stupid stuff? He was at least 20 gazillion million inches shorter than she was and he barely passed for a SIX year old, let along the OLDEST twin. Not when she was so pretty and princessy. She'd even worn her crown today, the one that she got on her 11th birthday. With a BIG 11 on it. So people thought it was her birthday. Maybe she'd get special attention.

HI HI HI BIRTHDAY GIRL HERE HELLO

But, she waited patiently, ONLY trying to trip Corb a few times behind their parents backs. Mummy was watching them very closely though, after the dog poo incident recently, so it was all no fun. Saffy just wanted to clobber her stupid brother with his own stupid shoe and shove his own stupid underpants onto his stupid head. Because he was stupid, if that wasn't evident.

Giving Corb a SHOVE out of the way when he was all done with the COOOOOOOOOOOOOL tape thing, Saff looked expectantly toward both of her parents before she was ushered forward by her mother and stood tall. Like an adult. She watched the tape curiously, helpfully holding out her arms and tongue in case they needed to be measured. And then she announced in her biggest voice the best measurement of all. "My big toe is a whole inch long. HIS isn't."

And she pointed to Corbin and that was that.

Azura's purple eyes were wide as she stepped into Olivanders and she bit her lip nervously as she moved to get measured for her wand! Her wand! It was so exciting! She almost wished that her parents were here for this moment, but they had insisted she do this alone!

So she stood there as the magical measuring tape zoomed and moved around her! She stood incredibly still, not wanting to interrupt it at all as it did its job!

She barely took a breath as it finished and she waited, nervously twirling her hair..

Sollys hurried excitedly into the shop she couldn't wait to have her first wand. When it was finally her turn she stepped up and waited for her measurements. She had been expecting something a little more dramatic but she wasn't complaining or disappointed with her measurements now taken she waited for her turn at the counter.

Spencer couldn't believe this day was finally here, he was finally getting his wand at last, after seeing his brothers with theirs he was finally getting his own Spencer skipped into the shop happily as the bell tinkling just as happily as he was. Spencer seen there was a line of people waiting, but that was ok, he had more time then money anyways. Spencer watched other people gef fi measured and couldn't help but not be fascinated by it, ah...the amazing wonders of magic, you just had to love it!

After what seem like forever to him, it was finally his turn, he watched the tape measure as it measured his height and arms as well as everything else. Then it was finally done, he was now a step closer to finally getting his wand, he could hardly hold in his excitement.

Taking a deep breath for good luck, Nate pushed the door open and stepped into the narrow shop. His eyes doubled in size at the sight of the towering shelves that lined the walls, each crammed with hundreds and hundreds of boxes. The wand chooses the wizard that best matches its character, he remembered reading it somewhere, but how was he going to find THE wand among all of those??

He had barely had time to begin worrying when a rather fidgety measuring tape came wiggling through the air in his direction. "Err... hi? I'm here to buy my first wand," Nate told it a little hesitantly while it measured his height. It paid no attention to his words, however, and proceeded to snap impatiently near his arms. He held them up and apart for more measuring and glanced over his shoulder.

Beyond the window, in the cobblestone street, his uncle Bertie chatted happily with a friend. He had instructed Nate to go ahead and promised they'd meet in a minute, which probably meant he would have time to buy everything on his supply list and still find the adults on the same spot. Oh, well.

TODAY...was WAND DAY.

...meaning it was possibly the MOST IMPORTANT DAY...of all the days. Ever.

NO LONGER...would she be forced to sneak her mother's wand to practice magic...which almost always led to bed without dessert, or cancelled visits with Phillip and Kat. Her cousin, Kat, had her own friends, who Olivia didn't know, but Phillip...Well, not seeing him hurt her heart. They were BEST FRIENDS. The BESTEST of friends. BUT....BUT....EVERYTHING was changing today!!!

Yes.

SHE WAS GETTING HER WAND...and what was better, her DADDY was with her. And her mum, of course, but HER DAD. Said dad had his hand tightly clutched by Olivia's much smaller one, but she obviously had to break away for just a moment...as this weird numbered tape...thing was whizzing and stretching itself out against various parts of her body...as soon as she'd stepped up to it. Magic was dead fascinating, Liv had to admit. She stood as still as a little girl could, you know...One that was about to receive the most important magical item of her life. Needless to say, the small blonde was trembling with her unadulted joy and excitement. Also...she was growing impatient with this...tape thing. WOULD IT JUST HURRY UP ALREADY?!

Cue an epic scowl face...

OH. Oh, nevermind...It was finished. Now what?! She looked around wildly at her parents. Did they know?! Was she...suppposed to continue standing here? Was a wand especially perfect for her going to...suddenly descend from the ceiling or something?!

Altha opened the shop door smoothly. She wore a cold, blank expression and walked calmly into the shop. Once she'd realized a line had been formed, she joined in, observing the shop's surroundings until the measuring tape had reached her.

She held out her arms stiffly while the measuring tape went to work. Standing still as a statue the entire time had paid off; the measuring tape had moved on quickly. She pulled her long-sleeve shirt down snuggly, and walked to the front of the shop to receive her wand.

Oh my GOODNESS! Was it her turn now?! IT WAS! Ariadne felt her heart thump faster and faster in a complete bundle of excitement. She was too anxious to get her wand to turn around and see where her mom and dad were. She stepped forward to the area where the measuring tape had been zipping about, magically getting everyone's measurements and helping fit them with the perfect wand. She had waited forever for her wand, it seemed!

First, she stood straight and tall, and the measuring tape dashed up and down, taking in her entire height. It went around her a few times, too, until it was finally time to measure her arms. She held them straight out, and she only peeked a little as the measuring tape zipped to the left and then to the right.

SO EXCITING!!!

When the measuring tape backed away, Ariadne did, too. All done! She headed off to the next area where the shopkeeper would match her with the wand she was destined to be with!

So, like, Ryland was a little bit excited. And by a little bit, she meant completely. It was her first wand, her first year at Hogwarts, and her first time ever stepping foot into Diagon Alley. She didn't even know the last thing existed until she got here! And now, after readng fairytale after fairytale about cool wizards who spread good and fun, she got an actual wand! Not a stick with a little leaf sprout on it! A legitimate wand!

She could barely sit still! Her hands kept clenching and unclenching into fists and her smile was about as wide as a Great White Shark, just not as menacing. Ryland wasn't actually sure if she could be menacing, but hopefully one day she would take over a random company like daddy, and then fire people while wearing bright pink dresses and having people paint her nails. At least that was what mom liked to hear every time she asked. But any mention of pink and she was good!

Crossing one leg over the other, she tried to sit like a young lady would, though there was some definite ritching around and fidgeting. She was eleven and had to wait her turn for the most important moment of her life? What did they expect from her? How was she supposed to do this? How did you keep composed when all of your thoughts turned into the words "oh my Gosh" nine million times over?

The bruentte admitted she was being a bit overdramatic, but it was her first wand for goodness sakes! Like, wasn't that the wizard's tool or companion or best friend or whatever? It was kind of super important! Like, very super important!

Excited, Jay dashed into the wand shop known as Ollivanders. She was so excited to be getting her very first wand! Not to mention, all this new magic stuff was so cool, but at the same time, it was so confusing. There were so many spells that she would have to learn, and she'd have to learn them fast too. The piercing blue eyed girl had big plans for her future at Hogwarts!

Looking around the shop she immediately noticed her twin sister, Ryland. But she seemed a bit busy with a.......

FLYING MEASURING TAPE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

THAT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOOOL!

Eyes now wide opened, she eagerly watched as her sister stepped away from the measuring tape. Twirling her brunette hair, she stepped up to the measuring tape, and watched in awe as it magically did it's work.

Finally, as the measuring tape stopped and floated away, she did the same thing and backed away from the area.

Jay couldn't believe this was actually happening! She was getting her very first wand!

Ailsa glanced tentatively around the shop, doing her best to blend into the wall behind her before her eyes alighted on an open area patrolled by a rather animated measuring tape that hovered in mid air, just as her mother had described. Still...

There's a moment's hesitation as the slight ginger girl regretted her insistence that she could handle this alone, without her mother's help. Still, nothing to be done about that now and panicking would help nothing.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer...

The familiar mantra from her father's old books running through her mind, Ailsa steeled herself and stepped into the measuring zone once it came to her turn in the queue. The tape whizzed around taking measurements of, well, everything as Ailsa did her best to stretch herself as tall as possible. It didn't really help; she knew that taking after mom meant she'd be lucky to hit 153 cm. But she tried anyway, allowing hope a rare victory over experience.

As she stepped away after the tape had finished Ailsa's internal ponderings became quietly audible accompanied by a thoughtful expression. "Why did he need to measure my instep? And how did I know when he wanted me to put my arm out to the side? He's a measuring tape, he doesn't have an expression. Why am I calling a measuring tape a 'he'? He just seems like he has a name... Weird."

Lucy almost wanted to cry. Her parents had gone their own way upon entering the store. Although not far, they weren't with her, next to her, helping her. She'd been told that she needed to do this on her own as preparation for the year ahead of her.

Timidly, she walked farther and farther into the store, looking for the clerks amid the children. How she was supposed to know them from the parents, though, she hadn't a clue. In her head, she pictured them in aprons and name-tags with some logo on them but mostly everyone was dressed pretty weird in this place. And no aprons in sight.

Lucy's teary eyes widened as something zipped past her face. Her whole body tensed. Only her eyes moved as she strained to see a measuring tape moving on its own, unrolling down the length of her head, extending to her feet, changing direction to measure her across and everywhere else... Were her parents still there? Could they see her? Could they help? Or were they so unconcerned that they wouldn't come to her aid?

They didn't.

Soon the measuring tape moved on but all Lucy could manage to take control of was her breathing.

Jeslyn entered Ollivander's slowly and made her way over to the counter. She was alone. Her mother was at another store to buy school supplies and new robes.
She was very excited-a little bit of fear-because this was the first time she'd gotten her magic wand. Like her father's possible? or property of her mother? Magic wand which is cool and never should she try. But soon she will probably have it. Her own!

After a minutes of silence, Jessie eyes did scan the area.To the entire store. Wait for the events that would change her life begins.

Like measuring tape that suddenly appeared out of nowhere and flew by her body.

"Oww....owww...."


When the measuring tape was still busy with her body-even among the nose-hole ear- Jessie heard the voice of someone.

There were few things Nicholas Tate grew extremely excited about, and although he wasn't bouncing off the walls like some other children would have been, this was one of those occurrences. His mum had dropped him off at the wand shop while she went to go grab something from Primpernelle's, which the eleven year old didn't quite mind. He was a grown school boy, and getting a wand meant he could handle himself.

Unsurprisingly, that "mature" kid was gone when his turn in the queue for the measuring tape came. Nicky lit up as he stepped into the zone of its reach, fascinated by such a creation. How did he know when it wanted him to move his arm out, extend his leg so it could reach the girth of his knee? Marvelous. Maybe one day, he could make something like that.

But his infatuation didn't keep him from trying to trick it as he stretched up on the balls of his feet. Dad had a long wand, and being taller might mean he'd get one of the same sort, wouldn't he?

What next? When would it be HIS TURN?

Oh, Merlin. Be cool, Tate, be cool.

Adrastos Evans was nervous. Nervous. Aslan had told him some things but he'd insisted on coming in here by himself. After the incident at the wedding, he was skittish about this whole magic thing and anxious to get to be better able to control it.

And for that, a wand.

He had never seen magic done, other than his own accidental, raised by a muggle and with a sister not yet old enough to practice outside school. So when he stepped up to the measuring tape, his eyes went wide as it moved seemingly on it's own. Measuring each of his limbs, his height, even, for whatever reason, the circumference of his head, the tape sized up Adra. And Adra kept every muscle completely tensed.

Maybe he should have let his sister come in.
