As the last of the big three leave the castle back to their respective homes, Rowena comes up to them with a wrapped up box. They already got their presents form the others. Some alchemy equipment from Godric, A few potion recipes from Salazar and some cooking utensils and recipes from Helga. The only one left was their mother.
Rowena gives them a stern look as she sits down. "What I'm giving you might be a bit early, but I trust you can be responsible and wise" As Rowena stops talking, the door opens slowly. An old man with disorderly grey hair walks in. Followed by a group of house elves carrying a lot of boxes.
"Mister Ollivander, thank you for coming. Would you be so kind as to provide my daughters a wand". Rowena asks, while not giving much room for arguments.
Ollivander walks up to the twins "Who would like to go first?". Feeling his eyes on her, Willow points at Helena. For some reason this man gives her the creeps. It's like he can see right into her soul. 'Helena will be fine, let's just see what he does before it's my turn'. Willow sighs relieved as she sees Ollivander turn toward Helena.
While Helena turns to face Willow with a betrayed look. Willow smiles apologetic as the mouths the words 'I'm sorry' while making a bowing motion with her hands clasped together. "What is your dominant hand?"
"I can use both, but I prefer my right" Helena replied stiffly as Ollivander starts to measure her arm. "I have a few materials with me. Please tell me which one feels warmest to you" While he says that, house elves spread out different kind of wood types.
At first Helena has beech wood that feels warm, second willow wood and lastly, the warmest, Vine wood. "Peculiar... well miss Helena, do you have core material with which you are close to? We can use that as a core, if not we can try a few cores?" Helena nods and runs out of the room, only to appear with a golden brown feather in hand.
"A thunderbirds tail feather. A Wonderfull core. I will return with your wand in a few days. Next is miss Willow, your dominant hand please" As he looks at Willow she stretches out het right arm, still creeped out at the way he looks at her.
After that it's the same process. The first wood to match is English oak, secondly apple wood and lastly chestnut. "Fine woods, great potential with magical creatures and healing. Now does miss Willow also have a possible core?"
"I have a core, but is it possible to make two wands? I have two different cores and I want to use them both..." Willow asks as she tries to look him in the eye, but fails miserably. "It is not unheard of, but not very effective. But if the miss wants to try, then it will be my pleasure. Now what kind of cores do you have for me?" Ollivander says with raised brows and a curious look in his eyes.
Willow opens the pendant on her necklace as she pulls out two kinds of feathers. One is a tail feather of a phoenix, and the other is the feather of the wing of an Occamy.
"My goodness. While phoenix feathers have been used before, a Occamy feather is a first. This might take a little more time then your sister. Would that pose any problems?" Ollivander replies, not looking at Willow, but staring mesmerized at the feather in his hand.
"Eh.. sure. As long as I get them, I don't mind"
"Of course, it will be done soon. Please look forward to the results. You will do great things miss. And remember the wand chooses the wizard. They might or might not accept you so be prepared".
"Naturally. Have a safe journey home. I look forward to your work". Willow thanks him while Ollivander ignores them, probably thinking about ways to process the cores. As he disappears from the horizon she turns towards her mother. While courtesy is a bother it is necessary. Willow smiles as she thanks her mother for the wonderfull present. As does Helena who seems to be lost in thought thinking about the research she can do while using her wand.
"Now I expect you two to be careful when you use your wand. I will be strictly supervising you while you practice. No wand using without me being there. Understood?" Rowena looks at them with eyes that could kill. For wands are no joke. They can injure and even kill if a mistake is made while using magic. She doesn't want to lose her daughters. They might not realize it, but she loves them more than they know. For what kind of mother wouldn't love their own children.
After getting a positive reply she nods her head with approval. "Now I will be out for a moment, behave while I'm gone. And don't leave the castle grounds, muggles still wander these lands and they are more dangerous than you think" Rowena says as she calls a house elf. "Maggie!"
*POP* "Yes madam?"
"Make sure Helena and Willow don't leave the castle grounds, you may use force if they try to leave, understood?"
"Yes madam, Maggie will make sure misses stay and be safe" Maggie bows as she turns towards the twins. Not leaving their side for a moment.
After Willow and Helena leave the room, Rowena puts on her robes and apparates away. For her day is long but over.
