Scout's dad put one hand on her shoulder as they walked into the store. It was rather empty for the middle of the day. Once they were inside and the door shut behind them, Scout stood still for a moment, mesmerized by the shelves full of boxes.
"You're lucky that the shop's not to busy. You'll get measured right away." her father said.
"What do you mean," Scout asked, "Who's going to measure me?"
Scout followed her fathers finger as he pointed to the measuring tape wiggling through the air. Her blue eyes went wide and she gasped and then giggled as it began to swim around her body, slithering and tugging like a snake. When it was done she looked at her dad again.
"Wow" She said, and he smiled widely at her.
"Just wait until you get your wand and learn to do some real magic."
