Gideon couldn't help but laugh at her enthusiasm, though it lined up with his expectations. He'd never met someone who was unhappy to get a wand, particularly their first wand.

"If you like," he said easily. "Though I'd thought we'd eat breakfast first. You'll have to promise not to accidentally destroy the shop before we open today, though," he teased, knowing full well it would be well out of her control if one of the wands she tried reacted poorly. The shop had certainly seen more than its fair share of magical mishaps throughout the years, from shelves being flung across the room to small fires and just about everything in between.

(Fires were his least favourite, for obvious reasons; hopefully they could avoid those today).

"After you find your wand, we'll have to find a day to buy the rest of your school things," he commented as he led the way towards the front room of the shop. "You'll get a list of everything you need when the letter comes, but there's no reason to wait on that for everything."

The letter that would, he assumed, be addressed to Wilhelmina. Gideon frowned as he considered that, but decided not to mention it yet. Instead, he went to the shelves and carefully selected a wand from among the rows of boxes. "Let's start... here."
