Burning. Scalding hot. Almost undrinkable. Perfection.

Zeke took another grateful sip, then stored the coffee on a shelf below the counter and moved along to his next customer, consulting the measurements and briefly detouring to pick up potential wand options on his way.

"Hello there!" he greeted this girl, with his usual enthusiasm. "Ready to get started?" Of course she was. They all... well. Most of them were. Zeke popped the lid off the first box and held it out, so she could take the wand. "Give this a wave, and we'll see what's what."

Ascella didn't mind having to wait a few more minutes. It was very busy here, she figured, even more so during the summer. Wand maker man deserved a break too! Even if she was eager to have ice cream with Rosie already, it could wait.

"Hello, sir. That was very cool," the eleven year old said, smiling at him. She'd seen him levitate the cup of coffee from the back room, seen the entire thing happen before her eyes while she waited for him. "Did you use Wingardium Leviosa for it?" That was the most basic levitating charm she knew, and probably a very easy and reliable one for all wizards. And yes, sir, she was absolutely that kid who asked questions, which hopefully he wouldn't mind. Oh! And before she forgets her first question. "Why did the tape measure my head? Does it measure everyone else's head too?" It didn't seem to have measured Rosie's, but Ascella wasn't sure. She hadn't paid all her attention there, having been distracted briefly by the wand maker's floating coffee.

Anyway! "Yes, I'm ready." Ascella nodded as she carefully took the wand from the man. She marveled at the sight and feel of it for a moment. The first wand she's ever held! Well, aside from Dad's wand. Could it be? Could this be it? The eldest Archer kid gave it a wave, and a sudden burst of air came out of the wand's tip, surprising even herself. Hmm. "It's...it's alright, but I think not for me." The first wand wasn't a match, but that's okay! There's still time!

She offered the wand back to the man, smiling a bit sheepishly.
