But all was well, and by the time it came to meet with this boy for his wand fitting, Zeke was mostly just aware that he had a very enthusiastic eleven year old on his hands. Bouncy, too.

"Hello there!" he greeted the boy when his turn came at last. Zeke had with him a few wand options that he had already taken the liberty of picking out. "Excited to find your new wand? Let's see what we can do for you." Opening up the first box, he presented the wand inside. "You know what to do? Just give it a wave, and we'll know soon enough if it's the right one for you." Zeke smiled at him.

And then... he braced himself.

As Sammy waited patiently for the measuring tape to finish up, he looked around and spotted some familiar faces in the crowd behind him. First, that snooty boy he'd met earlier in the year - he gave him a smile regardless, before waving at his sister. HAHA! He got here first! He also spotted Sohrin behind her, so he waved at him too. Gosh, he already had so many friends. Things were going so swimmingly already and he hadn't even gotten to school!

"Hi!" he greeted the shopkeeper with a grin. He appreciated that the man wasted no time getting straight to the point, handing him a box to get started. EEEP! This was it! Sammy had heard from all his siblings to not get too disappointed if this wasn't the right fit on the first go. He was pretty sure Moe had taken at least a dozen wands to get his right. He hoped he wouldn't have to go through THAT many, but here goes nothing!

He gave the wand a wave, waiting to see if sparks came out of the end of it or something, or possibly even FIRE - that would be kind of cool, no lie - but...nothing. He waved it again. Uhhh. Nothing was ALSO not a good sign right?

Suddenly, one of the boxes on the shelf next to him SHOT out of the shelf at lightning speed, hitting him in the arm. He blinked and dropped the wand in panic. YEEEESH. Delayed reaction much?!
