"Daaaaad, please." He was fussing again and smoothing her hair and being dramatic about his baby girl growing up and it was all very embarrassing. Maybe she should've brought Aunt Parker along, after all. Shying away from his hand-really, he was petting her head like she was a cruppy or something-Mackenzie reassured him she was still a kid (Merlin, hello, she was 11), handed him her backpack, and moved towards the measuring tape with a confidence she wasn't quite feeling down inside.

Did she have to speak to it, or did it just start working? How did it know what parts of her were most important to measure, anyway? What spell allowed you to get a measuring tape like th--Oh! Suddenly the measuring tape surged foward, zipping here and dipping there to measure her forehead, the bridge of her nose, even her chin! She'd expected it when the tape measured her height and the length of her elbow to wrist, but her CHIN? That was strange indeed. Kenz raised her eyebrows as the measuring tape finished up just as quickly as it had started, a bit bewildered. ...That was interesting. She was almost afraid to look over her shoulder at her dad, convinced he might be tearing up or something over this right of passage, and instead moved to wait in the queue so she could get down to the real reason she was here, her wand. HER WAND!

This was a big deal after all, wasn't it?

Kerri: Florian has seen to you HERE!
