 It was frustraiting when your wand wouldn't even clean for you, sure, she had been away from the wizarding world in oh.....for the last eighteen years but this was getting to be ridiculus. Not being able to find her wand after the near fatel shootout she had been unfortunately caught in the middle of, Daniella had been forced to use her father's wand. He was now gone was what she was told by her mother, but that was not her issue, she needed to get out of Salem that had been her first priority. So, here she was about a couple years later, in the wand shop getting a new wand because while her father's wand did do what she wanted most of the time it wasn't hers, it was irritating at the best of times and was downright ticking her off at the worst of times. Her attire was a long blue skirt, she had no idea what her obsession with skirts were but she liked them. Her sapphire earrings bounced as she jogged, no one really knew why she awas always in a hurry but of course she knew that it wasn't that she was in a hurry she was just always on the move. Coming in through the door, the bell rang announcing her arrival. She took several deep breath as she looked around the place seemed new and unfamilliar and strange but that was because she had worked with muggles too long, heck she'd been on the other side of the world. She waited for someone to come to her and wonderend if someone knew her for who she was, they might she had been all over the darned newspaper the first day she got her position as the head of the department. She didn't like being publically recognized for anything however that hadh been unavoidable. Standing there now, she tried to put everything out of her mind. |

 Skylar had worked all morning on cleaning the shop. It was the first chance he had gotten to get the job done...for once he didn't have other things to do like giving his mythology class, hanging with his fiance Soras, looking after Shaylyn, hanging with his best friend Mikayla, or talking to his half brother Zakaria and his son Zayden. It was the first day he had with nothing planned and nothing to do but clean up his shop and wait on costumers. As he finished all his hard scrubbing he stood up and looked around. The shop looked completely spotless now...and he was proud. He went to the bathroom in the back and quickly cleaned himself up. He stared into his blue eyes in the mirror and smiled at himself. He had everything he wanted now and Soras was soon to be his wife...he couldn't believe it....but it was true and the excitement filled his eyes even when she was around. His attention from his eyes was drawn away as the shop door's bell rang to announce a new visitor. He smiled as he walked into the room, Well hello there...Your the New Ministry Department Head they hired aren't you? A pleasure to meet you ma'am. He said greeting her, he reached out his hand for her to shake it, What ever brings you hear ma'am? He asked with a sweet smile. |

She smiled and held up her father's wand. "my late father had bought a wand here ages ago, he gave it to me when I came back a while back but, I need my own apparently" she smiled professionally and took his hand in hers, shaking it and letting him go. She looked about the shop and realized the place had been cleaned. "and yes I am the head of the magical law enforcement...oh how rude, my name is Daniella Collins" she told him with a friendly smile. She had to talk in situations like this she just...was quiet at other times like parties and all. She knew they were necessary and soon she would be able to get back to the way she normally was, but that would take time and a lot of it. Pulling her hair behind her ears as always, she wondered how this little event could go. The wand she had no presence of mind to take with he was probably either lost or stolen back in Salem. It didn't matter, muggles didn't see it as a wand anyway, they just saw it as "an old stick" |

Skylar shook her hand with a smile, Oh no, Daniella Collins you are not rude at all...I haven't even introduced myself to you yet! I am Skylar Stargazer...owner of this shop and Professor of Mythology at Durmstrang. It's such a pleasure to meet you. I would be happy to assist you in finding your new wand...It won't be a family heir loom of course but....i will make sure to find you one that bonds to you well! He said with a big grin at her before he looked over the shelves and pulled out three different boxes from the shelf above him. He turned and smiled before laying them across the counter. Shall we begin? He said with an excited smile, each wand he helped people find excited him greatly...because a part of him went into making their wand companion. He waited for her response as he continued to smile at her. It wasn't every day that a Head of a Department at the Ministry of Magic walked into his shop. He couldn't wait to see what wand would choose her...He looked hopefully at the boxes lay across the counter in wonder.... Each wand was different from the other...each of different wood and properties. |

"of course" she smiled pleasantly. She looked at the boxes and just stared at them. She gave him a light smile. She was good at socail events even if she herself was a psychological wreck at the moment. "no, I'd hope not...it really can't be an heirloom because before my father, there had only been one other witch in his line and my mother's side is all muggles" she admitted openly she didn't' give a crap. But she didn't add that she had been born and raised in Salem and had once been a prosecutor for the Salem D.A's office.
She knew however that he would find out soon, it didn't take many people long to figure out you weren't from Europe especially since she lacked the accent that Europeans had.
"My father's wand...well, it's an interesting thing in its own right, I heard something about Dragons and springy but I never found out what it was made for"

Skylar listened to her speaking, noting she wasn't from here...probably an American witch...but why should he question her? He, himself, was from London...and he sounded weird around all the Norwegians around him...so it's not like he didn't understand being foreign...no he wouldn't question her on this. He listened to her speak more on the wand she once had... Well then...Dragon and Springy eh? I suppose the wand you had before had been made of Dragon's heart...which is an excellent core...it is a very strong core, one of the strongest in power...though it is usually seen in darker wizards...it does sometimes bond with those who are good but hold power within their own hearts...Springy wands are pretty awesome... He said with a wink, This one here... He said pushing it towards her and opening the lid. Is also of Dragon's heart...it's wood is Maple wood, a very sturdy but versatile wood. I have also tipped this wand with a Lepidolite stone, which is suppose to give the use inner peace and calmness. It's makes the wand a balancer of sorts... He said with a smirk, Give it a try. He said with a smile. |

She looked at the wand, reminded her of well, her past. Dragons weren't her favorite creatures by any stretch of the imagination but she knew her family had bonded to it. Or, at least her father had. He hadn't been evil, actually no on that note, she didn't know much about her father after her ten short years of living with him. She sometimes blamed herself for the mutal seperation of her parents although her mother swore up and down that they were still "legally married" whatever that meant.
Taking the wand she shook herself out of the thought, it felt cool to her touch and she pointed it at the case it had come out of. Giving it a flick, she watched as it turned the box into a big round smooth stone. "Okay, that wasn't what I meant to do" she said as she looked at it. At least it could have been worse, she could have blown the box up for all it was worth. Taht really would have been embarrasing.

Skylar watched as she took the wand in her hand and gave it a quick wave towards the case and it transformed into a stone...he looked up at her to see if she had meant to make it a stone but he could tell in her face before she said anything at all that she hadn't... Ohh..well apparently not that one...maybe that's why you no longer have the dragon's heart string, eh? He said with a smile. He slid the next box towards her... On to the next one shall we? He asked with a friendly smile....barely ever was a wizard to pick the box of his or her chosen wand the first time...sometimes it took going through hundreds of wands to find just the right one... This one has a centaur core, it's a very stable core that is very good in power and protection...it's wood is the very beautiful Japanese yellow wood of the Kaya. It is all together a very sturdy wand. He said with another smile as he waited for her to give it a go. |

Pulling her hair behind her face, Daniella wondered how this would work. She looked to the wand she held in her hand and looked at the stone in front of her and gave her want a wave. It blew up completely. She jumped back, the blowing up hadn't scared her, the noise had though. She was not used to loud noises well, except in a court room but no one had ever blown up something there but that was another story. She looked up at him and then looked down at her wand and shook her head.
"This is going to take awhile" she said to herself. Looking up at him she gave him a small smile. "I never had to get a wand, so I didn't know what to expect...nothing ever blew up on my watch before" she said laughing nervously. That was true, she had blown up before sure, her temper flared sometimes but, nothing ever physically blew up.
