Raven looked at Zanna, who nodded, and she handed the goblin her key.
"Where would you buy a wand? Is there some special store?" Oh, she was so confused. She watched as the goblin opened the vault. He turned to see if anyone was watching, then put in the combination to the second door. After they had left the vaults and were leaving Gringotts, Raven counted her money. Or attemped to.
"How do you count this-um-money?"

"Ok the silver ones are sicles they are each worth 10, the gold ones are galleons ((I forgot how much they cost each  )) " Zanna said They were in front of Ollivander's now, "Ok here's ollivanders the best place to get you wand.

((Okay, I'm pretty sure theyre 25))
Raven felt Zanna push, or guide her rather, into the store. Once inside she saw boxes, which resembles shoeboxes, lined up across the wall.
"Are all these wands?" She asked Zanna.
"Yes, they are," answered Mr. Ollivander himself," and what can I do for you?"
"I'd like to buy my first wand," Raven answered.
"That's obvious, but what kind?"
Raven leaned over to Zanna to seek her advice.

"Well duh" Zanna said" you gotta try them. She walked towards ollivanders, pulling Raven after her, "Ollivander, raven, Raven Ollivander, Sir, Give her something with Unicorn hair, she handled my wand pretty well.
Ollivader smiled at Zanna, and held a thoughful gaze, "Ah yes 12 inches, white cedar, hair from a proud male unicorn. Your spirited Zanna, One of the reasons it chose you." He said.
Zanna beamed and turned to Raven.
Ollivaneder brought Raven to the back of the shop and let her try some wands.

Ollivander handed Raven her first wand.
"Now", he said, "swish it around a bit."
She did as she was instructed and nothing happened. What was she to do now?
"No, not the one," he said and retrieved another,"this should be the one."
Raven swished this wand. Nothing.
"Well," he said, befuddled,"let me see." He searched through the boxes till he found the one he had been looking for. "This could be it. No, well, perhaps." He handed Raven the third wand.
This time when she swish, sparks came.
"Well, I don't believe it. Twin wands. The hair in her wand came from the same as from yours, Zanna. Strange. I think you two will get along well. Or fight horribly. But I think you'll be good friends." He wrapped the chosen wand and handed it to Raven before they walked out the door.

Zanna looked shocked, she smiled and greatle and locked her arm in Raven's arm. "Why lookie here, I found myself a soul friend." She said laughing and smiling.
She then looked at Raven who had paid for her wand. "So yours is 11 inch cedar with a white unicorn's hair core, as for mine, it's 12 inches white cedar, white unicorn's hair core. Interesting, yes very." She said thoughtfully "Anyway lets go to Madame Malkins, I need new robes." She said, exiting the shop.

Raven walked into Madam Malkin's Robe Shop full of hope. She didn't believe it. Twin wands. She didn't know what that meant exactly, but guessed that it was rare.
"So what kind of robes do you need?" Asked Madam Malkin.
"I need the regular school robes, I guess," Raven took a moment to look at her list, "three sets of plain black robes please."
"Come this way and I'll size you," Madam Malkin said as she pulled Raven into the dressing room,"you come along too,Zanna. It looks as if you're taller than you were last time I saw you." Raven was led into the back room and Madam Malkin began measuring her arms and waste.

Zanna followed and stood on an empty stool, she placed her dark blue robe on a hook. Another witch attended to Zanna and began measuring her, "Uh can I Have a dozen black robes and 6 Dark blue ones?" Zanna asked. The witch nodded and finished her measurements on zanna.
Zanna stepped down a replaced her robe, she walked up to the counter and purchased her robes. She waited for Raven
When they both walked out of the shop, to their next destination, Zanna began talking, "you know twin wands are rare, the only ones to hold twin wands are the Dark Lord and A young boy in sixth year gryffindor. Zanna said thoughtfully.

They decided to take a shopping break and go to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink. After they had both ordered, Raven thought about what Zanna had said.
"The Dark Lord," she thought,"oh, you mean Voldemort," she said loudly. Then she smiled proud that finally she knew something. She sat happy for a moment that for once she wasn't completely in the dark. Then she looked around and realized that everyone stared at her.
"Did I say something wrong?" She asked innocently.

Zanna ordered the usual bottle of butterbeer and drank it, she hadn't realized that she was so thirsty. She looked up as Raven said "Voldermort" She didn't have a problem with saying he's name either, but to the rest of the wizarding world.
"Simple" She said taking a sip from her bottle, "Voldy name isn't supposed to be said cause he's feared throughtout the wizarding world, something like that" SHe said, taking anouther sip from her bottle.

Raven realized her mistake.
"Oh, I didn't know," she looked around nervously at all the faces staring at her. She tried to move the conversation along.
"So, how long have you lived in London, anyway. I just moved here from Dublin."

"I'm sorry to hear about your mom. My mom is dead too. And my dad. I've lived with my grandmother my whole life. It's strange. I almost miss her." Raven said thoughtfully.

Zanna sighed, and brushed her hair back. "Well these things happen, I guess they're lessons we must learn from." She looked at her bracelet and toyed with it for awhile, then turned back up to Raven, "So it's fun here isn't it?" She asked Raven
