Measurements completed the gentleman walked into the backroom and Sybille looked back at her brother for reassurance. At the sound of the man returning she found he only had four boxes. Again her worry gnawed at her, what if one of the four didn’t work? What if they spent all day trying and couldn’t find a wand at all.

The gentleman brought the wand out of the box. It was pretty and sounded very fancy and mature. Sybille liked that. She walked up to the gentleman’s counter and gave him what she hoped was a mature smile to match, but likely it looked tentative. She grasped the wand and turned away from the gentleman to give it a swish for that seemed like the practical thing - and Avril had told her it would be expected during Sybille’s questioning. Besides, didn’t one swish a wand when using it anyway?
