I stand outside Ollivander's, gazing through the dusty old window. I can barely conceal my excitement at getting my first and hopefully only wand (knowing that the wand is a powerful witch's or wizard's for that matter tool).
However along with the excitement comes the nerves, why am I nervous? I do not know, perhaps because starting tomorrow I will be a student at Hogwarts and beginning a new adventure - learning about things I only imagined existed in my head.
But most of all,I am nervous about the wand I may receive - it has to be perfect. It has to feel like an old friend or an extended part of myself - at least that is what my mother had told me.
However what better place to buy a wand than Ollivander's? The best wand shop in London!
I go into the store, and find that it is empty. All the other students must have come here earlier and are visiting the other shops.
I look around at all the boxes of wands in wonder, and am startled when I don't hear Mr Ollivander appear.
"I am looking to buy a wand please" I ask smiling, excitement building up within - I can't wait to find out just which one is made for me.
"My measurements are: 5, 10, 7 and 12"
