 Eloy Potter & Saina Poten-Pettise ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ Claimed by Bits ❤️ ~ Queen of Typos ❄ Magical Mosh Pit ❄
Finally!
El had reached the age where he was able to have a wand of his own. Of course he hadn’t been using anyone’s… unless you counted those random trick wands one could score at a joke shop. Having heard about what the wand fitting process was like from his various family members, the budding first year knew what to expect. What had been undersold to him, was the impressive inventory of wands that was stashed there. One could say that his jaws were slightly unhinged. It blew his mind just thinking about the endless combinations of wood and cores used to create them.
Eloy’s gawking was suddenly interrupted by the appearance of the measuring tape. “Oh! HEY, you!” He’d almost forgotten about its existence but it didn’t need to hear that. The tape had already gotten to work; its first stop being his forehead, measuring the width of it. Eloy was quite delighted to watch the movements as it flitted about doing its thing. But was it really necessary to know the length of his respective eyebrows? He threw a questioning, amused glance at his dad and made a mental note to ask him what his own experience with the tape had been like.
When the thing zoomed off to the next person after some time, El knew it was only a matter of time before the shopkeeper was ready to assist him.
Saina may look utterly calm on the outside but on the inside? She was positively bubbling over with excitement and anticipation. The lambent smile on her round face was enough to confirm her feelings. She paused just within the threshold of the shop, one arm clinging to her daddy. Now, Sai may look pretty much like her mama, but she was her daddy’s princess through and through. “The tape is a little weird,’’ she whispered to him, giggling as she watched it measure a boy’s eyebrows. “Is that really necessary to do that?”
But Sai held nothing against the tape. In fact, she found it quite delightful. Especially when it was her time to hold its attention. She was still shaking with silent giggles but was still somewhat disappointed when it omitted checking the length of her brows; it opted to measure the circumference of her head which… didn’t seem bad at all. The girl stood positively still, except for her light blue eyes which did their best to follow the tape as it continued its job.
But eventually that came to an end. This meant that Sai would soon be trying out wands! Squeee! |
