 A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
Back at home, Sohrin was overjoyed that his mother was taking him to Diagon Alley to purchase his first wand, but now that he was inside the shop, he felt nervous. He looked at his mother, who smiled encouragingly and motioned him to the measuring tape line while she walked over to stand in the back.
The eleven-year-old took a look around the store. He had been inside here before, purely out of curiosity to see what it looked like, and he had always wondered for how many years some wands had been kept in the storage because they had never found their owner. What did they do with those wands?
“Sohrin, fix your shoelaces or you’ll trip” He looked at his mother before stooping down to fix them. He was aware that he was prone to accidents, so he was relieved that his mother had noticed. As he stood up, he smiled brightly and gave her a thumbs-up that everything was secure before stepping up to the measuring tape.
He'd looked around at the other students taking their measurements, surprised but excited to see Sammy there, who got a rather enthusiastic wave before holding up his arms while the tape did its thing.
