Diagon Alley(3)

Kai walked towards Gringotts with his storage bag on his back and inside it were the various items he had bought earlier on. Kai passed the many witches and wizards on the street until he got to the bank.

There he got to the bank's entrance, where he saw Tom and Bellatrix waiting impatiently for him to get there. After Tom saw Kai he walked over to him in a fast gait, his body language showing how frustrated he was that Kai was late.

"Where have you been," Tom asked him in an annoyed voice while Bellatrix followed behind with her wand in her hand. "I had some things to take care off," Kai said in a cold tone. Bellatrix was looking at Kai's face with a dreamy look on her face due to his new outfit he looked like a badass, completely changing the vibe that he had before. Tom had to say her name repeatedly for her to stop staring at Kai's face in a transfixed manner.

Kai looked at them before saying to Tom "we are in a partnership, so we will both be needing to compromise with each other. I will try to not be late again. Now I've almost gotten everything apart from my wand which I saved for last."

"Let's get it and leave this place, I don't want to be here," he said in a calmer voice. Kai and Tom starting walking to Olivanders after Tom told Bellatrix that she would return to the Manor because they were attracting attention.

Kai and Tom entered Olivanders and saw a small cramped rectangular room, however, there was only a few narrow pathways due to the many shelves housing the wands. On the shelves, there were thousands of small wooden boxes. Inside each box was a different wand. When they had opened the door a small bell at the top of the entrance rung and Olivander came out of the back of the shop to greet them. Olivander came towards them in a sort of shuffle and tied to see their wands but because they hadn't taken any wands out.

He asked Kai and Tom if they were new to the area because he had never seen their faces before. When he received a confirmation from Kai that they weren't from the area, he asked if he could see their wands, to examine their craftsmanship. Kai said that he needed a new wand because his original one had been destroyed.

Olivander said " Based on your body structure as well as your features, we can try a vine and thestral tail hair core. It's 13'' long and is very rigid.

Kai held the wand and when he tried to sense something he discovered that he couldn't. Olivander could see that there was no reaction, so he took back the wand and gave Kai another one thinner and shorter this time.

"Let's try another one, here's a dragon heartstring and silver lime. Its 10" long and is slightly more flexible." Kai tried to do anything with the wand and according to the original series, if the wand chose you, it would release some sort of signal.

Unfortunately, once again nothing happened and like before Olivander sensed it and took the wand back again.

Let's try to take the extremity since you can't seem to connect with any of the more peaceful wands let's try something completely different. He took out a white and red wand saying, " here's a yew and mutated basilisk's horn wand. It's an incredibly small wand only reaching a mere 5" long due to my family not having enough of the horn to create a full-sized wand.

However, that doesn't mean it isn't powerful, on the contrary, it is one of my most powerful wands in the shop, so try it out." Kai picked up the wand and tried to feel something and surprisingly he could actually feel something. But that was it he felt something, possibly because he had fought a (mutated) basilisk in the diary.

Kai understood that the wand wasn't for him and gave it back to Olivander. By now Kai had come up with a theory but he needed to confirm it, so he asked Olivander "does the wand pick you by checking if your heart is beating as well as your mental qualities?"

"Who knows," Olivander said with a shrug. "But a wand does stop working when the wand's master is dead if that helps you answer your question." "Kai thanked him and thought to himself 'that proves my conjecture the wand will only pick a being that is alive and since I'm technically dead, none of them will pick me.'

Olivander got another wand and said to Kai "here you are a redwood and kelpie mane strand core. It is 9" long." The wand was thin sleek stick with a comfortable handle. The wand was a deep mahogany colour, which suited Kai as he had the title "Blood Lord" which was associated with the colour red. Kai decided to stop the farce that he was currently experiencing because he alone knew that his body was actually dead.

Kai picked up the wand and this time tried to actively channel magical energy into the wand. The wand accepted the energy and released it in the form of a few sparks. Kai could feel the wand form a bond with him, albeit not a strong one.

Kai required 4 times the amount of energy he put into his runic eyes to use the wand. So, he thought that he would just use his eyes and pretend that he was using the wand during his magic studies with Tom. He required an ace or two up his sleeve when Tom had reached new heights, compared to the original series.

Olivander looked relieved as his aged face showed a smile. He said that the wand cost 20 Galleons. Kai paid and when they turned around to leave, Olivander said to Kai and to Tom. "I remember asking you what wand each of you had and while you said that yours was broken and got a new one just know, I've still not seen your partners. Can I see it?"

Kai looked at Tom with a look that seemed to say do whatever you want. Tom reached into his robes and took out his almost bone-like wand and presented it to Olivander. Olivander took it and examined it and then hurriedly put down the wand on the counter and rapidly retreated from the coldly smiling Tom.

Olivander said to Tom "thirteen-and-a-half inches, yew, phoenix feather core, I remember selling that wand to that young boy who appeared so enthusiastic to go to Hogwarts, only to later become that most feared man in the whole wizarding world."

He looked at Kai with a wide-eyed gaze and asked him in a trembling voice "you do know who that is next to you, do you?" "Yes, I indeed know. Well now that you've seen our wands we'll have to leave bye, I hope to meet again someday."

Kai looked at Tom and asked him if he had a way to teleport them back to the manor. Tom told Kai to wait and started thinking of the vast number of spells he had learned. He then said "Warpius Majikus," and made some complicated wand movements.

Kai and Tom teleported out of Diagon Alley and arrived at the living room of Malfoy Manor. There Kai and Tom found a seated Bathilda sitting on a couch that had not been there when they had left.

Kai looked at Bathilda and said, "You've finally arrived." He thought back to what had happened to them previously when they had met her. She had said that she wanted to join the "Court." After they agreed, she suddenly apparated out of there leaving a message that after she finished her business she would arrive at the manor.

Kai looked at her suspiciously and asked her if she had finished her business, to which she replied that she had not. But she came because she sensed that he had met a powerful being, to which he said was probably the Nundu. However, she said that it was not the Nundu as it wouldn't be able to harm Kai, instead it was a powerful magical being.

She looked at Kai and checked out what he was wearing. "Where did you get those clothes?" She asked him. To which he told her of the shop on Diagon Alley, but she told him that she had never heard of the shop.

She examined the clothes and saw that there was a spying type spell that was put into the material. She quickly removed the spell and told him to be wary of magical items. Once she saw that there were no threats left anymore she said that she would appear later and apparated away.

Kai then asked Tom to start teaching him magic. Tom took Kai to one of the rooms on the third floor and started to take out materials from the several tons heavy bag and started to teach Kai the basics of casting magic.
