"YOU FOUL BITTER LITTLE MAN!! HOW DARE YOU??!! THIS PLACE DOESN'T COST THAT MUCH! WE WILL GIVE YOU HALF OF THAT AND NO MORE!! HOW DARE YOU TRY AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF AN INNOCENT CHILD!!" Snape roared at the man.
Half an hour later and we had negotiated a selling price, signed a contract from the goblins, Griphook had already been looking into purchasing the building, and we are now proud owners of a trunk shop.
"Good luck! This place is going under! No customers, no sales!" The previous owner laughed as he ran out.
Severus snarled and lunged as if to go after the man, but I quickly stepped in front of him and hugged his waist.
"He's not worth it Sevy. Besides I have a plan to get this place profiting!" I said, snuggling into Severus.
"Fine, but if I see that scum again, I'll curse him!" Sevy growled, glaring in the direction the man went.
"Ok, ok." I giggled.
I looked around the shop again taking in the plain brown different sized trunks, the dust, and the cobwebs. It was no wonder the place was going out of business, it is dirty, looks boring, and only sells one colour product. That is going to change.
"Tippy." I called.
A pop sounded in the air as Tippy appeared.
"How is Tippy helping Miss?" Tippy asked.
"Can you clean this place up Tippy? It will only be for now; I will get another house elf to handle cleaning this property." I asked her.
"Tippy be on it." Tippy replied with a determined look.
"So, what is next?" Harry asks.
"We will need to hire an enchanter, and a store front assistant. We need to decorate this store and purchase different materials and colours for the making of the trunks." I replied. "So, for now let's lock up un till we have the staff we need and have done what we need to re-open."
"I know an enchanter that is looking for work. I can owl him for you if you would like?" Sevy asked.
"That would be great, then we will just need a store front assistant." I said, jumping up and down in excitement.

"Are you going to tell us this plan that has you so excited?" Sevy asked.
"Moon trunk. A trunk that replicates the full moon. It will give werewolves a safe place to transform on the full moon, for themselves and others. The trunks will consist of a cabin with a bedroom, bathroom, living room, and kitchen. The cabin will lead out onto a large forest that has a lake in it. The cabin will be warded to stop the werewolf from getting in on the full moon and getting out. It's not a perfect solution but they will be safe, and the ministry can't accuse them of being a danger to anyone." I ranted getting more excited as I spoke. "I also want to introduce more colours, and trunk materials. I want to start selling bottomless bags as well, all different styles. I want to offer customized trunks as well."
"Those are all great ideas sis!" Harry exclaimed, pulling me into a hug.
"Yes, they are. The moon trunk is brilliant, I'm surprised no one has thought of it before!" Sevy rambled.
"Thanks." I blushed.
"Looks like we will be getting our trunks later then." Harry sighed.
"Yeah, but at least we will be able to get customized trunks, in a nice colour when we do get our trunks rather than these plain brown ones." I said, pulling a face.
"So, what now?" Sevy asked.
"Hmm, should we go see if we can get our wands early? Sevy is there another wand shop apart from Ollivander's?" I asked.
"Yes, there is. It's in Knockturn Alley, It's called Wand's Choice's." Sevy replied.
"Ok, let's go there." I said, bouncing on my toes.
We lock up the store, instructing Tippy to meet us back at Pendragon castle when she was done cleaning, reminding her to take a break if she needed it.
We walk through Diagon Alley to Knockturn Alley. We walk down Knockturn Alley and to Wand's Choice's. The storefront is a faded grey colour, and the widow display is covered in dust. We walk into the store and a bell dings to signal our arrival. I look around taking in the shelves full of ingredients and wood samples.

An older woman comes out of the back, followed by a young girl that looks about seventeen.
"Hello, my name is Florence, and this is my assistant Marianne. How can we help you?" The older woman asks.
"Hello, I am Severus, and this is Rebecca and Harry. They would like to get their wands." Sevy introduced us.
"Ah, I see. A little young but I don't see a problem with them starting a little early." Florence said smiling. "Now then, if you come on through to the back you can chose your wand cores and wood. I have a feeling you will both need three solid cores, and three liquid cores. I feel very strong magic coming from you, probably need two woods' as well. These will be some very powerful wands." Florence mumbled, breaking into a manic cackle at the end.
"Please excuse my nana, she gets excited the more powerful the wand she creates is." Marianne said, rolling her eyes.
"Shush you." Florence grumbled, going back into the back with Marianne following her.
Sevy, Harry, and I all looked at each other before following the two witches into the back.
The back of the shop was more cramped, filled with even more shelves of wand cores and woods. There is a large worktable in the middle of the room.
"Now then, first the woods, then the cores. Reach out with your magic and choose which wood calls out to you the most." Florence instructed.
"You first sis." Harry said, with a little nudge.
I reached out with my magic, feeling each wood around me, and pulling the ones that just felt right to the table with my magic. Two different woods floated over to the table.
"Hmm, interesting. You have chosen Oak, and Elder. Two very strong woods, Oak is known to be sturdy and resilient and Elder is the strongest wand wood known." Florence murmured.
"Your turn HarHar." I sing songed.
Harry rolled his eyes at me and stretched out his magic, until two woods floated towards him.
"Ooh, how rare! You have chosen Snakewood, and Elder. Snakewood is excellent for Parseltongue speakers and usually pairs with a Basilisk scale." Florence explained, seemingly more towards her assistant than us.
"Ok then, onto the cores!" Florence squealed excitedly.
Harry nudged me to go first again.
I stretched my magic around the room again feeling out for which cores called to me, it felt like a pull, like they are directing me to them. Gradually six cores, three solid and three liquids floated to the worktable.
"Oh my! Thestral tail hair, Dementor's cloak, and Dark Phoenix feather (all willingly given), for solid cores. Then Basilisk venom, Unicorn blood, and dragon blood (all willingly given). This will be the most powerful wand I've ever made." Florence exclaimed.
"Nice one sis! Now it's my turn." Harry murmured.
I could feel Harry's magic reach out, feeling around the room and watched as six cores floated to the worktable. Florence was watching in glee as her assistant shook her head at her.
"Yes, yes, yes. What great choices! As I suspected you have Basilisk scale for one of your solid cores and then the other two are Basilisk horn, and Dark Phoenix feather. Then your liquids are Unicorn tears, Basilisk blood, and Dementor blood. Another incredibly powerful wand. Do you want me to explain the cores?" Florence asked.
"Yes please." I requested.
"Ok well the Thestral tail hair, Dementor's cloak and blood, are all good for dark magic spellcasting, they are usually chosen by people who have been close to death, or who have seen death. Basilisk scale, horn, and blood is good for those who have the ability of Parseltongue and Parselmagic. Unicorn blood, and tears are good for those who have pure hearts and souls, it makes spellcasting more powerful. Dark Phoenix feather is good for people who have gone through a great change or have remade themselves, it makes darker spells stronger. Dragon blood is chosen by those who are strong, protective, and determined, it is good for those who have a love for creatures. Oh, I can't wait to make these. They will take two hours, one hour each. Come back later." Florence instructed.
