Default Ollivanders Counter


Ollivanders is a long and narrow shop, with impossibly tall and crooked shelves making up the majority of its space, but this is as far as the Wizarding public are permitted to go unaccompanied. Here is the counter, a thick, rustic slab of darkest mahogany, worn smooth from years of use. On top of the counter sits an old fashioned brass cash register which seems to have a mind of its own. It toots and whistles and lets off steam as purchases are entered into it and the drawer pops out jauntily to receive payment, and if anyone tries to get into it, an obnoxious caterwauling charm will go off. Best not to try, it knows how to defend itself.

On the wall next to the counter there is an inventory board, which lists every product sold and service provided at Ollivanders aside from the wands themselves. If you wish to buy a holster, or any polishes or wand care products, this is where you should look. The products themselves are displayed on the racks and in baskets attached to one side of the counter.

OOC: If you are here to receive a wand, please post in the Wand Fitting thread first and wait for a response from the Ollivanders staff.

"Congratulations! You have been paired with an Elder wand." JAZZHANDS! No, really... it was one of the most rare woods legally available for purchase. And it went without saying that it was equally as powerful, as it was difficult to obtain. "Not to be confused with the Elder wand from the history books. That wand allegedly contained the hair of Death. Capital 'D'." Allegedly, because history could be a touch flowery at times. "... but when you strip the core away, what you're left with is a wood that is deceptively adaptable. It will depend heavily on your own temperament, of course, but you won't find a better companion for defensive magic and healing spells..." But it could also go in the opposite direction with dark magic and curses. Florian chose to leave that part out of his spiel.

"A Dragon heartstring, taken from a Swedish short-snout, is encased within. Dragons are protective creatures and as fierce as they are loyal. Your defensive magic will get a noticeable boost, as well as any spells that are fire-based." The wandmaker paused, for several moments before speaking again. "It's a great responsibility to have a wand of this nature. And shouldn't be taken lightly." Bless this child's parents.

"You'll need accessories, sooo what shall it be?"


Written: 10 1/2 inch spinnable Elder with Dragon Heartstring [Swedish Short-Snout]

Elder wand... THE Elder wand? Curtis wasn't what one called a studious child but he did remember at his Primary School one of his lessons on wands and the story of the most powerful wand. The rest of the shopkeeper's words were fading in and out as he eyed it with such satisfaction. It was true. He WAS the best.

So it was good for defending, healing, and fire spells. And then after hearing the making of it... Curtis knew he had to keep part of this a secret. Do you know how jealous would be to hear he had the best wand? He wasn't going to let anyone try to take his wand. So with that he looked up at the man. "I understand.. sir." Yeah, he had to be polite. He didn't know if this was a test and he had to show that the wand should stick with him.

Accessories though? Curtis blinked. Well, guess I do need some stuff to keep it nice. That would explain the extra money he got before entering in here. "Er... some Wand Polish and a nice wooden box to go with it.. Please." Nice and simple as he smiled sweetly. Daddy always said not to flaunt your power.... much. Hehe.

At least, that's what the Rowan wood dictated from history. It was hard to know the future unless you were a Seer, so he supposed anything was possible. He hoped for good things in this young lady's future, however. "Wonderful! Golden sparks are definitely a good sign, so good job!" Now for the spiel about this wand in particular. Hmmmm. "You're holding ten and a half inches of Rowan wood, a wood that has significant power where magical shields and wards are concerned." So... this young girl would be quite successful in a duelling arena, if she so chose to follow that path. He remembered his duelling days. Fun times!... What else...? "Something special about this wood... You'll have power in warding off spells that affect the mind, which is super helpful considering that's most charms." He grinned at her, amused at her happiness. Good for her.

"The Fwooper feather within will cause some issues in casting Quietus, a charm to muffle sounds, but... otherwise, it's a wonderful all-purpose wand to have in one's possession."

"Can I get you accessories?"



Written: 10 1/2 inch spinnable Rowan with Fwooper Feather
Jade beamed. The golden sparks were awesome - she was glad that it was a good sign. She listened with rapt attention as the wandmaker spoke about the wand that chose her. Ten and a half inches... Rowan wood... Fwooper Feather core... Even the sound of these words seemed perfect to her. She did not mind that the feather would impede her use of Quietus (she could always order somebody else to do it for her) and was extremely happy that she would be able to cast powerful magical shields.

"Thank you," the girl said in her sweetest voice when the man finished explaining the qualities of the wand... HER wand. She couldn't believe she was selected by a wand so quickly. Held tightly in her hand was her wand, her magical companion for, hopefully, her entire school life and beyond. It was HERS.

Of course she would get accessories! "I'll have a purple leather case, please!" Her eyes paused on the list of novelty products available for sale. She REALLY wanted to get some of the trick wands so that she could prank her dad and Layla, but they only gave her just enough money to buy her new wand and a case to go with it. They knew her too well. She COULD get a basic wooden box and use the remaining Galleons to buy some trick wands... but she also wanted a nice case for her very first wand...

UGH. She would have to pass up the pranking opportunity this time.

While attempting to clean up a rather stubborn stain in a guest room either that morning, her wand began to sputter and shake. A terribly worrisome response from her wand of many many years. If a witch can’t trust her wand, what can she trust?

Armed with her wand, a bag of galleons, and a lot of hope, Lucy entered Ollivanders and headed for the counter. If there was anyone that could figure out what was going on, and fix her beloved wand, it was Ramiel.

“Good afternoon. I do believe I’m in need of your wand restoration services. Something has gone amiss with my wand.“ She gently placed her wand, 11 inches long and made of holly with a phoenix feather core, on the counter.

He had things quite nicely sorted now, did Ramiel Skeres. Easy to get his ducks in a row when he was literally living in the store. Well, not in the store itself, but in the back room. The most important thing had been getting systems in place, a bit of regularity. And err... a few less plants. Just a few. He did like them well enough but it was a bit too much the herbology shop with the flowers everywhere and easier to keep tidy with less of them. He had kept a few here and there though.

The little bell over the door that tinkled to let him know he had company was enough to see Ram poke his head out from behind the curtain separating the back room from the shop proper. He stepped out, a steaming coffee mug in hand.

"Oh, hello Lucy." Ram eyed the wand when she put it on the counter and took a big loooong sip of his coffee and examined it without yet touching it. "Something amiss? What's been happening, if you don't mind me asking?"

She watched as Ramiel eyed her wand, hopeful he would be able to fix whatever was wrong without too much of a fuss. Lucy remembered many years ago when her sister had an issue with her wand and it was a major ordeal trying to put it right.

"This morning as I was cleaning up a bit, it began to sputter and shake with a simple cleaning spell." She put her hand to her chin. "Come to think of it, it also happened last week while doing inventory. I was so busy at the time that I almost didn't notice. But, yes, it was most certainly not acting as it should." She sighed. The World Cup was coming and she had more work than ever to get completed before the guestrooms were filled beyond capacity.

"Do you think you might be able to get her back up to snuff? She's a great wand." If anyone would be able to, she was sure it was Ramiel.

Cleaning. Okay. Ram considered things, his brow furrowing beneath his glasses. He bent down to get on eye level with the counter top and the wand, still not touching it.

"Do you use any magical cleaning products when you're cleaning?" There were a few different ones on the market that people liked to use after all. "And what were you cleaning, exactly? Er... I just need to ascertain what in the environment might be contributing to the problem." He added, not meaning to be nosy.

11 inches of Holly, he noted. Holly could be troublesome sometimes. It was known.

Magical cleaning products. That would be a big yes. She hesitated for a moment before answering. "Well, I did purchase a bottle of Super Spot Out from a gentleman at the carnival last summer. I'm not exactly sure what it's made of, but he guaranteed it to get out the toughest of stains." Lucy wondered if purchasing an unknown cleaner from a carnie had been the best idea, but she loved supporting the little guy trying to make it on his own.

"I was trying to remove a rather stubborn red wine stain from the sandy fawn colored carpet." She exhaled slowly. "Installing light colored carpet in the guestrooms wasn't my brightest idea." It was rather shocking how easily they would stain and nothing bothered her more than a guestroom that looked dirty.

"Super Spot Out." Ram repeated and straightened up. He muttered it a few times under his breath and rummaged until he-- "Ah, here! Let me see." He flipped through a well-thumbed journal and scanned the handwritten entry. "Known to contain Bubotuber Pus, and Spiky Bush juice, which interact in a nasty manner, and can cause problems for some cores if they are exposed to the fumes. Which suggests.... we may be dealing with a hairline fracture or crack of some kind, and--" Now that he knew it was safe to do so, he picked her wand up and examined it up close, "Phoenix Feather is certainly a core that is often unstable, especially in a Holly wand. I can see you've not been applying any type of protection salves and oils to your wand. Well. This is fixable and a preventable problem." He looked up at her. "Are you able to do without your wand overnight?."

Ramiel put her wand down carefully on the counter again and took out several different jars, all clearly labelled. "Lets see.... conditioning oil, strengthening oil, barrier oil... these would all be good for you to use. However I think I can tweak it somewhat to make a salve that is specific to your needs. Give me the afternoon to work on it, and I'll apply the first treatment tonight, and leave it until morning to be sure it sets in, and then I can bring your wand by before breakfast, along with the products you'll need to maintain its condition. That is, if that's agreeable to you."

PHILOMATH ❅ not one atom, but two ♪ ♪ made of starstuff ❅ def main():

Vitaliy wouldn't come with her. He said that in this situation it's best to throw her into the deep end and force her to swim. Tehilla knew how to swim, but these were really stormy waters and she was afraid of drowning. He'd at least known about magic, he is magic. She... well.

Diagon Alley was nothing like the quiet streets of the Old Town part of the city she grew up in. It was crowded and people touched each other all the time and it was so much colder. She walked around with a big coat that would be more appropriate for the winter season, a long skirt and thick gray tights. Tehilla avoided walking into the wand shop for as long as she could, but she started getting hungry and needed Vitaliy to take her to eat at an appropriate place.

The wand shop it is. ... Ollivander's.

"Mr. Ollivander?" Tehilla said quietly as she stepped through the door, and blinked. It was full of little people, adults, families with excited smiles and glowing faces, eager to get their children wands. The sight almost made her tear up. It was a rite of passage, getting a wand. She hadn't really realised it until she saw the way the children's faces shone as they received their wands.

The fourteen year old bit her lip, and walked towards the counter. "Excuse me?" She gingerly pulled out the wand she currently had, an old one of Vitaliy's that she'd need to return, and nervously waited for someone to turn to her.

Why they were not among those to be bestowed wands once freed from their cells was lost on this lot. As far as they were concerned the odds simply had not been in their favor and the duo who had been giving them had simply run out. They would be mistaken, but they were just small crime thieves and resembled muggle thugs with their choice of weaponry as they stormed the shop.

While two flanked off from the group to ransack the display shelves and retrieve whatever they could use to threaten the shopkeeper - not limited to the chairs and potted plants - another charged at the man behind the counter while waving their bats and crowbars to incapacitate him. Or crack a skull. They wouldn't be picky.

Three more had a jacket with its sleeves tied in such a way as to work as a bag and launched himself towards the shelves to pull boxes containing wands from them and into the fabric. Though his haphazard and reckless movements were causing far more to spill to the floor than into the actual make-shift sack.

The bell tinkled pleasantly when the door opened, which under the circumstances was quite deceptive of it.

Of course Ramiel was all smiles, at least at first.

"Welcome to Ollivander's! How can I--" The smile faded FAST and his wand slid out of his holster. PERHAPS the wandmaker should have protected himself first. PERHAPS. But the ones raiding the wands were closer to the door and some of the wands they were snatching were hundreds of years old, and all of them were precious, and so they were the ones he sent stunning spells at, followed immediately by calling out a complicated and ancient-sounding, three part incantation in a sonorant tone, which sent the whole shop rumbling. Every wand and each wand box with an occupant began shaking all at once, and freed themselves from the shelves and began floating up, and up, and up to the ceiling, save for those already in the makeshift sack, and in the arms of the thieves. At the same time an almighty caterwauling began, echoing loudly enough to make your teeth ache in your jaw.

By the time he had done this, the ones with the weapons were already upon him, so Ramiel tried to get a shield up...

Yeeeeeeeeees welcome they were and they had taken their share before the wandmaker had done whatever it was he had done to make all the boxes fly up to the ceiling.

Those not in mid swing towards the man's head began passing out the wands among themselves with lopsided grins and howls of celebration. Well...for a fair few at least. There were a few that fell victim to the Stunning Spells blasted from what were thought to be dormant wands and now the bodies of those were sprawled across the floor of the shop toddlers who had fallen asleep while right in the middle of play time.

Meanwhile the attempts of the shopkeeper were too slow for the initial impact as the metal crowbar came crashing down on the man's brow with full force and shattered one of the lens of his glasses. Though the second, the one wielding a baseball bat, struck the shield charm and went bouncing backwards by their own momentum and soared through the air right through the shop's front windows and tumbled into the street.

Okay, what was THIS NOW?!

Fletcher popped up right outside Ollivander's, following the alarm, and now STARING in alarm as an entire man, with a baseball bat, came crashing through the front window of the shop.

"!!!!!!!" He didn't even have WORDS for this. Was that---was he--- an AZKABAN prisoner?! In HIS Diagon Alley?! Fletcher wasn't sure what to do first--- capture the guy or check on the shopkeeper?! This was much, much worse than a simple break-in. He hurriedly cast a nonverbal incarcerous on the one with the baseball bat, and then rushed inside.

Fletcher's priority wasn't the wands--- sorry!--- but the wandmaker who now appeared to be bleeding. "Stupefy!" he hurriedly sent a spell toward the prisoner with the crowbar, then cast on the other ones (how many WERE there?! a horde!!) that were loitering around. "Stupefy! Incarcerous!" He tried to make his way toward the injured shopkeep, who....well... he didn't look great, to be honest...

Point of fact, Ramiel didn't feel great either.

Order was in everything the wrong.

At some point something had hit him? Hard. Indescribably hard. He was on the ground but somehow hadn't blacked out. Or maybe he had.

He couldn't tell.

There was a funny pressure rushing in his head but he couldn't hear anything, not even the horrible alarm.

His glasses had shattered....or maybe it was his vision...which was.... wet. Everything was wet, and red, and fleshy, except for the parts that weren't.

Something had hit him.

(Everything was in the wrong order.)

Prior to the alarm, Zinnia had been laying on the bed scratching Wafer's stomach and just generally relaxing on her off day from training until Ramiel's lunch break. The twitch to the cat's whiskers and sudden shift in the cat's demeanor had been like a premonition as second after Wafer had rolled on to her stomach, eyes wide d tail twitching, the alarm had sound and chilled her to her core. Leaping off the bed and retrieving her wand, she threw open the door and descended the stairs with her wand gripped tightly in her hand...sometimes taking the two and three at a time until she came into view of the havoc being unleashed in the shop proper.

Blood pumping in her ears as those years of combat training at Durmstrang kicked into high gear, her eyes absorbed the scene but struggled to process it in its entirety.

She saw the Azkaban prisoners.

She saw the stranger in the shop dueling with them as he moved closer to the counter.

And then she saw Ramiel.

Her sturdy Ramiel...

....on the floor of his shop in splinters.

And then everything was automatic. Her cat-like reflexes urged her to jump over the railing rather than take the rest of the steps down, the bark to the stranger to keep them away from the counter, and the flourish of her wand towards the closest perpetrator with the intention to do a whole lot more than simply disarm. Her instincts were propelling her forward on the attack, but something stopped her and after shooting off a Full-Body Binding Curse towards another she was pivoting around and scrambling over to Ramiel's side.

"Ramiel? Ramiel?!" No stranger to blood and certainly not one to get squirmy with, she used her wand to sever a bit of her jumper and pressed the fabric over the injury and used her other hand to remove his broken glasses and dusted his cheeks free of any remnants of glass before casting a Shield Charm around the pair of them.

Ah, geez. The shopkeep was junked up, for sure. Was Fletcher going to have to do everything around here? He'd really been wanting to avoid staining his suit with blood or owl poop today, considering this was the suit he'd had to have elf-cleaned once already from the owls at the Ministry...

He looked down at the shopkeeper with a frown, but didn't really have time to consider bandaging him up because there was a LADY here to do that for him. "Right, you deal with that," he rolled his eyes at being bossed around by randoms, "and I'll deal with these."

Fletcher sent another round of ropes flying, one variation of incarcerous that he'd picked up back in his Gringotts days. Not only did it bind individuals, but it also bound them together in a little bundle. Like a barrel of monkeys, heh. "No wands for you," he called out to himself, adding a lazy nonverbal expelliarmus here and there as he noticed all the product just going FLYING. He seemed to be cleaning up the prisoners, but just to be on the safe side, he cast a shield charm for himself as he stepped through the wrecked-up store.

What a mess. Paradise had better not be in this condition.

Was that his name? Was he a person at all? He hardly knew. He DID know one of those voices though, the one saying what might have been his name. A bleary smile somewhere in his red-coated face (it still was a face, wasn't it?).

"Zinnia." And with that he fell into something that didn't feel at all like sleep: it didn't feel like anything at all.

most go mad within weeks

Already mostly unconscious in the street, the baseball bat wielding escapee was easily ensnared by the newcomer's conjured ropes. Two fled from the shop after ducking out of the way of any on-coming spells, most notably the one carrying the makeshift bag full of wands, and did not bother to stop and help the one wiggling and groaning on the cobbled street. They had somewhere else to be and to potentially earn their place.

Another still inside the shop, now yielding a wand, attempted to fling a spell or two towards the shopkeeper on the ground and the woman tending to him. Only his spell struck the shield charm in place and bounced back against him, propelled him into the air until he went crashing against one of the still standing displays, and then crumbled to the ground in a daze. The crowbar wielding prisoner had been struck by the Stupefy cast at him while moving in for a second blow and lay on the ground face down with the crowbar just out of his limp hand's reach. Two more fell victim to the former cursebreaker's razzle dazzle Incarcerous, but the final member of the posse had leaped through the window, glass everywhere, with one of the shop's books clutched to her bosom and just managed to avoid the spell before taking off down the street.

And then an eerie sort of quiet fell over the shop. Quiet save for the one in the street bound by rope and snarling like a caged animal. "I'LL KILL YOU!"

Her little bit of jumper was hardly up to the task she had assigned it as the deep periwinkle color darkened and dampened. She would chastise herself later over not immediately recalling the first aid kit he kept on hand, but presently there was no time for that. Summoning the kit to her, she kept applying pressure while rummaging through it for something of more sufficient use and breathed a strained sigh of relief when she found a small vial of dittany.

Unflinching as a few spells ricocheted off her Shield Charm and with mostly steady hands as she twisted the lid off, her eyes darted back to his face to catch the remnants of his smile. A tiny moment that calmed one storm while encouraging another to rage on. The surplus of moisture in her eyes was an unwelcome addition to the scene, however. "Yes...it's me," she nodded back with the tiniest hint of a smile as she dripped a drop or two directly to wound to close it up a little until she could get him to see a proper healer and noted that he could both recognize familiar faces and speak. Details that offered small relief.

Relief that the next moment robbed her of entirely.


No. NO.

As an eerie silence fell, Fletcher realized he couldn't just ignore the threat from the street, as hilarious as it sounded. He carefully stepped outside, not through the window like a heathen, but through the open door like the civilized gentleman he was.

"Maybe another day," he chuckled darkly before stunning the tied-up prisoner with another nonverbal. It was at this point that Fletcher belatedly realized that at least two, maybe three, other prisoners had escaped with some stolen merch. Ah, well. It wasn't really his job to hunt them down....... was it? He was the junior undersecretary to the Minister for Magic; shouldn't he be getting back there? er? Or should he go check on other places in the Alley?! Obviously he was still very concerned for his own business.

Fletcher headed back inside for now, levitating the bound and unconscious prisoner in the street inside with him. Might as well leave them all tied up in here, where they'd at least be more secured. He walked around, levitating/dragging the remaining prisoners together and binding them up with magic of course. Fletcher made sure they were all well-secured but unconscious (and relieved of their bats and crowbars) before he returned to the shopkeeper and the woman tending to him.

"Yikes," he muttered quietly, but probably not quietly enough. Fletcher was frowning deeply at the state of the man, and now he was guessing the lady overlooking him was related to him? Dating him? Married, maybe? "You should probably get him to St. Mungo's," he suggested, looking around for something to turn into a portkey. He would, of course, be permitted to create portkeys on official Ministry business. And speaking of Ministry business... did Charles know about this outbreak? Er? Would they be sending someone along to collect this lot of thieves, and round up the other ones? Why hadn't anyone from the DMLE showed up here yet? That alarm had to have woken up everyone on Level One and Level Two.

Grace had not instantly followed everyone to Azkaban. The auror had figured that potentially by the time the department had gotten up there that some of the inmates were bound to have actually gotten away. That was why she had stayed in the department. They were bound to be needed down here, or somewhere in England, so she knew it would be silly to have all their forces at the prison. When the alarm came in, Grace knew she had made the right decision. It seemed that they would be needed in Diagon Alley too. It made sense, to her at least. These escaped prisoners probably needed wands if they hadn't been able to find them at the prison. This would've been the first place Grace went if she was in their shoes.

She apparated down to Diagon Alley right away, making her way towards Ollivanders. She paused at the door, taking it all in. She noted the bound and unconscious men. Someone had done a good job there, maybe she wasn't the first one on the scene. And then there were three other people. One not looking in such a good shape. She could of tell they weren't from her department, and so she decided to take charge.

"He needs to get to St. Mungos now"" Was all she said in relation to the man on the ground. It might have sounded a bit robotic, but her attention at first was making sure the bound gentleman were going to stay bound. The last thing she wanted was them jumping up and putting on a second attack when they didn't expect it. Grace did that quickly, but efficiently, and then turned her attention back to the other three.

"Is everyone else okay?"

Proper frothing at the mouth now, the bound man continued his wiggle worm movements while shouting every flavor of insult and threat...until he wasn't. The spell struck true - easy to do at point blank range - and then the man lay still with his cheek pressed against the cobbled stone.

The prisoner who had gone crashing into the display case let out a low groan, a growl, and pushed himself back up to stand just as another woman [RachieRu] arrived on the scene. With both her and the other bloke's [BanaBatGirl] attention on the two [sweetpinkpixie, Tegz] near the counter, he flung a series of nonverbal Blasting Curses towards the standing pair.

Right, none of the chunks of glass or blasted wand boxes here were going to make a suitable portkey. Fletcher remembered that he had a few business cards in this suit and pulled one out, kneeling down to give it to the woman guarding the wandmaker. He tapped the card once, murmuring, "Portus," as he cast his intentions to turn it into a portkey for St. Mungo's, and then set it on the ground so that it was within reach of the woman. "You'd better hurry..."

Well well well, look who'd decided to show up. Fletcher glanced up at the young auror who was basically just repeating everything he'd said, but resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "Yeah, I know," he answered her, still kneeling on the ground. "I'm fine. She's fine, I think. I just gave them a portkey to get there." Did she want a business card too? Fletcher pulled out another one to offer it to the woman; she had to be an auror or hit witch, he was assuming, as she did look vaguely familiar from work. But see? Look at his card, they were all on the same side here.

Who was not on his side? ANOTHER one of the stupid escapees. Fletcher had been 90% sure he'd rounded up ALL the escaped prisoners here, but apparently not, as one near the display case started making noises. "Protego," he drawled, throwing up a shield around them, well, those of them on the lower part of the floor now. You know, it would be great if that auror could knock this guy out? Thanks. He was already tired of kneeling and getting his suit dirty in all this mess.

It was a good thing that the other gentleman had done something about that man in the street because otherwise she may have taken matters into her own hands and Zinnia Shacklebolt was not a forgiving person. The urge was no less severe as the escapee was levitated inside the shop and set among the others. In fact it had only intensified now that she could clearly see their faces. She would like a word with Angelo and Evangeline before interrogations began.

But her attention was soon back on Ramiel and she had another urge, an affectionate one, to cradle him in her lap but she knew that would be foolish and potentially deadly. Her hands stained, she checked his pulse again after gingerly brushing some of his matted brown hair from his brow and found some relief there before addressing his wound again...and it was in that moment that Captain Obvious spoke and she merely glared at him in response. But before she could address him there was another stepping into the shop and Zinnia's reflexes had her thrusting her wand towards the door and the brunette...who also apparently only knew how to state the obvious but also seemed to be on their side. Unhelpful as she was.

And their suggestion was misplaced. She had seen enough bludger accidents on the pitch and serious head injuries to know better.

"I'm not moving him....not like this...travel by portkey or apparition without proper stabilization measure in place could kill him," she spat at them both, her vision slightly blurred as her eyes trained to the business card being offered to her. One that she understood had been turned into a portkey but was this man for real? "....is this some sort of business transaction to you?" He could literally use anything else in this shop, even a piece of rubble, and he had the audacity to offer one of his business cards. Every nerve in her body was ready to Incendio it right there in his hand. "One of you needs to send a patronus to St. Mungo's. Get them to send someone here." She would offer herself but her hands were obviously occupied trying to manage the bleeding.

...and the numbness that swept through her body also served as a reminder that she could not produce a corporeal one.

Her wand already in hand, she noticed the movement from the shelves and just as this Fletcher fellow was casting a Shield Charm, Zinnia was hurtling a very potent and rage fueled Stupefy at their attacker.
