She smiled brightly at the offer. It was the nicest thing she remember someone offereing to do for her.
"I wouldn't want you to spend your birthday money one me"
she replied, smiling at Ameilia
"I just really like Quidditch..."
She grinned slightly, as if it was a joke.
"Do you own a copy?"

Amelia understood her rejection to the offer. Amelia usually doesn't take money from people either. She picked up another Quidditch bookl and turned to look at Nokomis when she asked if she had her own copy. Amelia smiled and answered.
"Yes, acually, I think I own every Quidditch book there is!" She smiled, "Well it took me forever to save the money for this one," she pointed to the book she had in her hand, "But I did it, Last year," she turned back to Nokomis and paid for her books.
Then she turned and walked out the door waiting for Nokomis to say something.

She followed Amelia out of the shop, smiling happily at how friendly she was. It was so nice to talk to another wizard, who seemed to be so much like herself!
"I don't own any yet, but I'm hopping my dad will get me one for christmas, and then I can save up some money for the rest."
She looked down the croweded streets, wonderin where they were going to head to next.
"So, do you have a favorite team?"

Amelia turned to her list as Nokomis asked a question. She turned and pondered the many teams she read about and saw in matches. She then smiled.
"I have to say the Chudly Cannons." Amelia said, "I know they suck! But I thought that it was funny as ever when they changed their motto from We shal Conquer to Let's just cross our finger sand hope for the best," Amelia laughed.
"They're nutty, but you gotta love them," she smiled and walked down the alley torwards Ollivander's wand shop.
"What about your team?" she asked eyeing the new wand in the window.

She grinned at Amelia's answer. The Cannon's were a great team for the fans--they were always so entertaining.
"They are funny, and the motto always makes me laugh. My Favorite are the Kenmare Kestrels through."
She replied as they walked down the street towards Ollivanders
"Since they are from my contry--they are really good too, but its mainly because I can root for Ireland when they play."
They walked for only another minute before they stepped into the the dim, slightly dusty wand shop, and peered ahead at all the piles of wands. She had gotten her want last year, and now it was hidden in her pocket.
"Did you loose you wand?"
She aksed after a moment, wondering why a third year was in the wand shop

As they entered the shop, Amelia peered at a few dusty wand boxes, wondering what new wand she would get this year. Maybe a Unicron hair?
'hopefully' she thought. Unicorns where her favorite thing in the entire world.
Just then Nokomis asked a question to her, about why she was needing a new wand. Amelia could only close her eyes in remembrance at how badly it hurt after she fell out of that stupid tree. She mentally cursed at how bad a lechure she got, but forgot it and replied to Nokomis' question.
"no," she laughed, "I snapped it in two last summer, Fell out of a damn tree!" she said when Ollivander rounded the corner. His misty eyes twinkling with recognition at the third year blonde and her friend.
Amelia could only smile remembering in first year when she entered this dusty shop with no idea what was going to happen.
"Why hello Amelia," Mr. Ollivander said, in a friendly voice. His eyes twinkling again and Amelia could only blush, "Back again, I see?" Amelia blushed harder.
"I broke my wand, Mr. Ollivander," she said, picking two pieces of her beloved wand out of her pocket. Mr. Ollivander tisked and took the pieces.
"hmm," he mummbled looking at the ends carefully, "A Unicorn Hair, Willow...NO! Cedar...9 inches. I'm sorry, Amelia, but it is beyond my repare," Amelia felt her heart drop and took the pieces back. She looke dup at him with a slightly stubborn face.
"Do I really have to get another one?" she asked. Mr. Ollivander laughed his strange laugh and nodded. Amelia's shoulders slumped at the thought of going through the whole process again. Of taking the messuments and then of going through hundreds of wands. Only to find a wand that make syou blow somehting up when you wave it.

She gave Ameila a sympethic smile about the wand. She didn't know what would happen if she broke hers. Well--she knew that she would go back and get a new one, but he would be devistated....She loved her wand, mainly becaue it had unicorn hair in it, and she loved unicorns.
As mister Ollivander approched she smiled at him, wondering if he reconied her too. He gave her a friendly smile, but his attention was obviously on Ameila. When he turned to go try and find her new wand, she turned to her new friend.
"My want has Unicorn hair in it too"
she commented eagerly

Amelia waited as Ollivander started to pile the boxes, Nokomis made a comment about her wand. Amelia turned and smiled brightly.
"Cool!" Amelia truely was excited, her friend was alittle more like her! AWSOME! "I love Unicorns, hopefully I'll get another one,"
"Amelia I already have your messurements, so none of that, dear," Amelia smiled brightly.
Just then Ollivander began giving Amelia wands, she sighed and took each one, only waving it and nothing happening, finally after what felt like forver, Amelia was given a Unicorn Hair, Mahogany, 8 inches long. Amelia waved and felt a tingle run up from her fingers to her head, then a blue light shot from the tip and stars danced in the light. Amelia smiled.

She had hung back while Amelia tested the wands, her mind flooded with memories of when she got hers. Growing up in a muggle world, she was compleatly clueless about it. If it hand't been for her father explaining to her about Diagon Alley in a letter, she didn't know if she would have been able to figure it out at all. But she did, and cluelessly she wnet throught all of Mr. Olivander's trials until she found her rosewood, unicorn hair wand.
She smiled brightly when the the want throught bluew stars
"Looks like your getting your wish"
She commented, Ameila having just said she hoped this want would be unicorn hair too.

Amelia smiled broadly. She looked down at her wand proudly. It felt as if getting a wand for the first time all over again. The feeling of triumph, the happiness of a new wand. The power pulsed under her hands and Amelia sighed happily.
Nokomis made a comment about her wish coming true. Amelia looked up at her.
"And I am damn well happy for it too!" Amelia said happily. She paid Ollivander and walked out onto the street. The smells of freshly made Ice Cream drifted from Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor. Amelia turned to Nokomis, her blue eyes sparkling.
"Want some ice cream?" Amelia asked.

Her eye lit up at the suggestion, her own gaze had drifted downt he street and settled on the sign for Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor.
"I think you read my mind"
She replied happily as she immediatly started off int hat direction.
"I really like ice cream. I think I could live off of it"
she commented.
"What flavor is your favorite?"

Amelia laughed and started after Nokomis. She seemed 'eager'. Amelia smiled and caught up. Though she had to stay at a fast pace. She laughed again. Nokomis asked her her favorite flavore as they neared the parlor. Amelia pondered and landed on Strawberry, her mouth watered at the thought.
"Oh, Strawberry!" Amelia said forgetting to answer, "Oh yeah! Strawberry all the way!" Amelia went up to the counter and stared at the man until he was ready for her.
"May I please have a Strawberry cone please!" They man smiled. Amelia turned as the man started to scoop the creamy ice cream.
"So what kind, pray tell, do you like?"

She could hardly hold back her grin as she looked up at the man taking their orders.
"I will have the same"
she replied, looking back over at Amelia when the man left.
"That is my favorite flavor too"
she commented, giggling slightly.
It seemed so strange to her, laughing with someone like a friend--even having someone who seemed so similar to herself. They both had unicorn wands, they both liked strawberry ice cream, they both wanted to be chasers....

Amelia couldn't wait to go to school with Nokomis. She was so nice and so much like her. Amelia took her cone from the man and licked greatfully. The flavors exploded her taste buds and she smiled as the cold ice cream slid down her throat.
"It's so weird how alike we are!" Amelia said, "And why are we in different houses?" she laughed.

She too dove into the ice cream the moment it hit her hands--enjoying the sweet, creamy taste. He mother was always concerned about heath and never kept ice cream around the house.
At the question she thought for a moment. Why was it they were in different houses.
"I don't know..."
She answere,d still thinking as she swallowed another mouthful of ice cream
"I wish were were in the same house. It would be so much fun"

Amelia smiled at her friend and licked at the Strawberry heaven in her hands. She loved ice cream. Nokomis made a coment about being in the same houses.
"I know! I wish we were, too!" She smiled, "We should hang out in Hogsmeade!" She looked at Nokomis, hoping her answer would be yes.

Her face fell slightly and she bit her lip, looking down at her ice cream
"I can't go to Hogsmade once school states. I'm only a second year."
She looked up again at her new friend, wishing she was a third year. Hogsmead sounded like a lot of fun, and she had to stay back at the castle. She didn't mind the castle of course--and it never bothered her that she coudln't go before, but now that she had a friend to go with....

Amelia felt liek smacking herself in the face. She sighed deeply and looked at Nokomis.
"I'm so sorry! i forgot!" Amelia sighed and looked down at her ice cream, suddenly feeling akward. She sighed and apologetically looked at Nokomis.
"I feel like an idiot," she stated plainly, "We should hang in the Library then," Amelia hoped Nokomis liked to read.
"or hey, we can play Quidditch on the Pitch some time!" Amelia smiled at her, reasuringly.

She smiled slightly, trying to force away all of her sadder thoughts
"Yeah, and we can go outside too. The courtyard is nice. There will be lost of things that we can do together."
Ameila had now become her first real friend--and she wanted to spend as much time as she could manage with her. She wished even more that they were in the same house, and in the same grade, but at least there were lots of other oppertunities to be together....

Amelia couldn't help but feel sad at the thought of Nokomis not being able to come to Hogsmeade with her. The shops were so amazing and the Butterbear was awsome tasting. Amelia sighed and looked up from her napkin, her ice cream already finsihed. Trying to change the subject, she pointed to the Quidditch Shop.
"Lets gourge our minds with brooms and Quaffles?" Amelia asked in a hyper voice. She laughed, standing up and grabbing Nokomis' hand pulling her towards the shop.
