Delilah was excited. This was her very first day here at Olivander's. School had ended for the day and here she was, at her afternoon shift at Olivander's. "Well, this is uneventful." Delilah had actually expected a slow day. She even had brought along her homework. "Okay...let's get to it..." She was just about to start on a Potion's essay when a customer walked in. Delilah dropped her stuff on the desk, looked up and said, "Hi, welcome to Olivander's, one of the greatest wand suppliers of the world! How may I help you today?" Delilah had been required to say that.

Taylor laughed at Delilah's slogan. "Hey, Delilah. I didn't know you worked here," Taylor said to Delilah as she put her arms on the counter.

"Yup. Just got the job! Today's my first day. Didn't expect you here? Are you browsing or is something wrong with you wand?" Delilah hoped nothing was. She sat on the counter.

"Yea, there's something wrong with my wand. My old wand broke so I used my spare. So, I came here since my old spare became my permanent one so I need a new spare," Taylor said out of breath. Taylor then asked her, "Do you understand all of that or not?" Taylor smiled at her hoping that she would understand.

"Yeah, I get it! Okay, what was your old permanent one and your new permanent one made out of?" Delilah started walking toward the many shelves. 'Hmmm....I hope I can pick out a good one for Taylor. I'm not Olivander...but I do work here so it's my job. She looks like a holly wand person, with, let's see, a dragon's heartstring core.' Olivander was out for the day and he left the shop to Delilah and the other workers. So far none of the other workers were here.

"Well, actually they're different wands. They had different ingredients. I don't know why but they do. The one that broke was a 9 inch made with birch wood and unicorn hair and a scale of a dragon. The new one is a 11 inch made out of holly wood, tears of a mermaid, and hair of newt," Taylor said with a shrug. "So, I'm not really sure what kind of wand I'm going to buy now."

"Well...considering those both work well for you, maybe we'll try something a little different. How about an elm wand with phoenix tear since I know you're good at healing, and hippogriff's feather." Delilah went to go fetch that specific wand. 'She got lucky, it's one of Fawkes' tears. And the hippogriff's name is Talonstrike.' She hurried back to Taylor. "Well, give it wave!" Delilah prompted trying to sound professional like Olivander.

Taylor waved the wand and did a simple spell. "Accio sweater," Taylor said and her black cashmere sweater came flying into her hand. "I think I'll take it. It feels good in my hand," Taylor said as she took off her black jacket and put the sweater on. Now she was wearing long blue jeans, a v-neck light purple blouse, and polka-dot wedges, and the sweater.

"Great! It'll be six galleons and five knuts. Not too bad, huh? So, how did I do for my first customer?" Delilah smiled at Taylor. That wand really was perfect for her. She felt good about herself. 'At least I know I'm not a totaly failure.'

"Okay, wait a minute," Taylor said as she put her wand on the counter. Taylor then put her jacket near her wand and fished through her pocket for her wallet. Taylor counted out the money and put it in Delilah's hand. "Here you go," Taylor said as she put her wallet away, slung her jacket over her shoulder, and waited for Delilah to finish her purchase. "You're a great sales person, Delilah. You did really well," Taylor said.

Delilah smiled at the compliment. "Thanks so much. Hey, my shift is almost over. Wanna hang out somewhere later? I got about fifteen minutes left." Delilah started packing up her homeword that she got mostly finished. 'I need to get a new wand, too.' She started browsing through the shelves. 'How about a dogwood with mermaid hair and bat's wing. A little dark, but pretty.' She wove it around and said, "Reducto!" to the table lamp. It shrank to miniscule proportions. "Oops." She then said, "Engorgio." and it returned to regular size. "I'll take this one." She paid 15 Galleons and 2 Sickles.

"Buying a wand huh? What happened to your old one?" Taylor asked curious. Taylor sent her new replacement wand and her jacket back to her room. "Where would you like to go?" Taylor asked Delilah.

"Well...do you really want to know?" She considered telling Taylor about the little Potions accident. She picked up her purse and sent all her homework back to her room. 'That incident is pretty nasty. Does she want to know?' Delilah thought to herself while laughing quietly.

"Yea sure," Taylor said. Taylor let out a yawn and said to Delilah, "I don't think I can last any longer. I think I'll go to take a nap in my dorm. Sorry Delilah but I'm wiped out." Taylor frowned as she let out another yawn.

"Okay. Well, I was making a potion for Professor Snape's class and it kinda spilled on my wand. I forgot what it was called, but it was really weird and it did something to my wand to make it invisible. I only found it when I accidently stepped on it and snapped it to pieces. Now it's in the trash." Delilah sighed, thinking longingly of her old wand. It had been very nice. "Well, okay, see you some time then. I hope you feel better rested later!"
