Almost like a magnet, something was pulling at his mind. Even though he had progressed through his list of school supplies, this shop seemed to be calling him. "what do you need next?" his father asked. "It says, I need a wand..." Mathius replied. It felt like standing on an event horizon, there was no choice, not entering this building wasn't in the stars. Those few steps into the shop crossed something, if only in his mind. The cat lounging about his neck and shoulders didn't seemed to pay the transition any mind. But like a recumbent queen, grace someone in the shop with the immeasurable honor of blinking at them for a second or two, before losing interest.

Mathius slowly approached the odd measuring implements, quite a few kids had already been calculated and given their wands. with an out stretched hand he began the process, the tapes and rulers even seeming to take his squashy cats stance into question.
