*Mira and Hallie walked into the store. Mira had made sure it was set in the universe of the first book, so that no spoilers could be revealed*
And I guess if I need a wand, I can invent wizard gold to pay for it.

Hallie jumped a little when Ollivander slid over to them on his ladder, breaking the silence of the shop. He gazed at Hallie suspiciously.
"Miss Mira," he said, "have you brought a Muggle in here?"

*Mira stammered, surprised*
"You- you know me?"

Ollivander nodded. "I know all witches and wizards who come in for their first wands—although you are a bit late. Most come when they are eleven. Are you a Muggleborn, then?"

Oh god, how do I explain this? Invent a backstory, I guess.
"I don't really know. I never met my birth parents. ANd it was only recently that things started happenning."
*She glanced back at Hallie*
"You can trust her. She's not exactly a muggle- it's a long story."

He cocked an eyebrow. "Curious," he muttered, eyeing the two of them. He walked over to the shelf and pulled out a wand. "Here, try this. 11 1/2 inch, willow, dragon heartstring core," he said, handing it to Mira.

A vase very close to Hallie shattered, and she jumped out of the way just in time.
Ollivander shrugged. "Not that one, then. How about this? Mahogany, 8 1/4 inches with a unicorn hair core."

The magical sparklies that had appeared around Harry's wand appeared around Mira's. Grinning, Hallie put an arm around her friend's shoulders.
"Toldya," she said, grinning excitedly.
Ollivander was smiling, too. "That there is a very fine wand, miss. I hope you use it well."

*Mira hugged Hallie back, then reached into her purse and pulled out several magic coins that just happened to be there.*

Ollivander smiled warmly at the two friends. "Very well, then! Off you go!" he said cheerily, walking them out of his shop. "Good luck, Mira. And...what is your name, my dear?"
"Hallie," she replied.
"Hallie. Yes. Well, thank you for supporting your friend. Goodbye!"

*Mira was a bit giddy as she and Hallie left the shop, but then turned dark*
"Hallie, do you think this means I'm turning into Bellatrix?"
((Finished the book!))

((Me too! OMFG, IT SO DIDN'T HAPPEN THE WAY I WANTED IT TO!!!!! WHY ISN'T [name censored for those who haven't finished] DEAD!!?!?!?! S/HE WAS ALL SET AND EVERYTHING!!!))
Hallie considered this. "I don't know. I don't think so. I mean, a character model doesn't turn you into someone else! But if you start to, try to resist it. You know, something like Occulency."
