As experienced people, Lucius and Narcissa know that wand shopping takes the most time, so the family's first stop was the Ollivander Wand Shop. After opening the old door, the bells rang. Dantalion looked around, the shop was small, there was nothing but a bench in front of the counter, past the counter are long, long shelves full of boxes. Ollivander has been involved in the magic wand industry for nearly two thousand years, and is one of the top three European magic wand manufacturers, not to mention part of the Sacred 28 pure-blood families.
"Good morning" a soft voice came and an old man suddenly appeared in front of them. Draco was taken aback, even a little scared he pretended to be brave, taking only one step closer to Dantalion, naturally this gentleman is the owner of the shop Garrick Ollivander.
Dantalion's eyes could identify the magic of the old man in front of him, although he is much weaker than Lucius, he still cannot be underestimated, so he asked respectfully "Mr. Ollivande, my brother and I are new students at Hogwarts, we need a wand".
"Of course of course" looking at Dantalion continued "Wizards need a wand, but remember, the wand chooses the wizard! So young Malfoys who will be first?"
Dantalion pushed Draco forward, Ollivander measured the size of his arms, shoulders and fingertips, then he took out a wand and asked Draco to try it.
" Try it"
Draco tried several and finally settled on the 25 cm wand made of hawthorn wood and a unicorn core, with a degree of flexibility and decent design. The unicorn is a beautiful animal and can be found in the forests of Europe, the fully grown unicorn is a horse with a pure white coat and horns, they tend to be attracted to simple and kind people, while hawthorn wood favors the contradictory personality. "Looks like Draco is still a simple child" thought Dantalion.
It was the youngest's turn, after all the measurements, Ollivander gave him a wand, as soon as he took it the boxes fell off the shelf, the old man took it back, giving him another one and the same situation repeated itself, noticing the wrinkles between Ollivander's eyebrows deepen with each attempt.
"Try this 12 inches and half, vine wood and Augur feather core, this was the last wand made by my great grandfather."
Dantalion picked up the wand, a rush of horrifying heat from his fingers, and the wand began to emit a rippled white halo.
"Wonderful, very wonderful" The old man's voice became softer "I really don't like using Augurey's tail feathers, but amazingly you and this wand really are a wonderful combination"
"I'm sorry Mr. Ollivande, what makes you say this to me now?"
Dantalion was really curious, most of the wands in the shop were made using materials like phoenixes, dragons and unicorns as the core.
"As we all know, Augurey is considered a symbol of bad luck." Ollivander looked at Dantalion " This is a strange wand, my grandfather always had the obsession to make a wand that could rival the wand of legends, after much research and attempts, he arrived at this strange combination, unfortunately soon after creating it died, anyway this is a wand but restrained in temperament, I believe its owner is the same, Mr. Malfoy"
Dantalion felt complicated, but at the same time relieved that he had finally finished buying his wand. Then to save time the family decided to separate, Lucius went to buy the textbooks, Narcissa went to buy the potion materials and Dantalion and Draco went to Madame Morkin Robe Shop to buy the uniforms.
On the way to the robe shop, Dantalion looked curiously around, there were shops that sold owls and you could hear the soft yelps and children playing, in a window it was possible to notice people looking attentively at a flying broom recent, Nibus 2000, the fastest broom ever made!"
After walking a little further, the younger brother noticed his twin's abnormal behavior, seeing him like that he knew something was wrong, looking at him some more, Draco spoke.
"Dantalion, Ollivader talked a lot about your wand, and I know how extraordinary you are too. I feel weak" said the boy, lowering his head.
Seeing him like that Dantalion, he put his arm over his brother's shoulders and said "Of course I will be an extraordinary wizard, you don't see who my brother is, you just need to practice more, after all we are twins."
Draco chuckles a little before saying, "You're very playful and very unhumble, but you're right." he smiled "I want to start practicing hard, like your big brother, I will never lose to my little brother!"
Mrs. Morkin was a short, chubby witch with an adorable smile and wore a purple dress, she was standing at the door of the shop and when the twins entered, she smiled "Ph, young lords, do you want to buy school uniforms for Hogwarts? We have a lot of them here, and various styles, fabrics and sizes."
Dantalion smiled "Just give each of us 3 sets of common tunics, I also have other requirements. After buying the uniform can we talk about this in detail?"
The two were then taken to the back of the shop, by a young witch, to be measured, Dantalion heard someone entering and turned around, a thin young wizard with black hair and green eyes entered, Draco also noticed the entrance and said "Hey, are you going to Hogwarts too?"
The other part seemed lost, so he just nodded, Draco continued, "My dad is buying books for us on the side, and Mum is at the ration shop, then I'm going to drag them to the broom shop. I don't understand why first year can't have your own, I think I'll ask dad for one and sneak it, are you going to try Dantalion too?"
Rolling his eyes and ignoring his older brother, he smiled amiably at the little boy "Hello, my name is Dantalion Malfoy, this is my brother Draco Malfoy, we are freshmen going to Hogwarts, it's nice to meet you"
Hello, my name is Harry Potter, nice to meet you"
"By Merlin's beard, are you really Harry Potter?" said Draco excitedly, "Oh, I mean nice to meet you" he said a little awkwardly.
The three of them stood together and talked a bit about what they expected from Hogwarts, then they talked about broomsticks and Quidditch. After buying the uniforms Harry said goodbye, Draco also left to find his father, Dantalion then went alone to talk to Madame Morkin, the store does not only sell school uniforms, it sells a wide variety of wizarding garments for daily use, from robes decorated with golden stripes , robes with automatic stretching, slim fit robes that accentuate the body to robes that warmed automatically in winter, all the garments sold in the store come with the wrinkle and anti-tear function.
The style of wizard's robes has been passed down by the aesthetics of the Middle Ages, for more than 1000 years, the appearance remains unchanged, this style of big and fluffy robes is not conducive to running and dodging quickly, it's a drag in battles between wizards , moreover, these garments do not even have a practical function, such as the ability to defend against certain spells, or increase speed, change appearance or transform.
Based on Dantalion's understanding of the magical world, it definitely wouldn't be impossible to make a cloak with these functions. Being a businessman, he "sniffed" the opportunity.
Raising the issue to Mrs. Morkin, she looked at him in a complicated way, she was delighted with several ideas presented by the boy, but the magical world is very traditional, and she believes that these expensive cloaks would not have a place in the market. Dantalion, seeing her excitement, proposed that she make a cloak for him to wear, and one to display in the store, in case the public was interested, he would bring some ideas for clothes and they could strike a deal in which he would take 20% of the total sales. of product.
