Wand and Living Arrangements

"Speech"
'Though/Mind Speak'

A void of silence followed Mr. Ollivander's words. That is, before Minnie spoke with barely contained anger. "What kind of preposterous suggestion is that Garrick? Take Arabella to that alley is out of the question!"

"Minerva, unless you wish to travel over to Gregorovich's wand shop, this is the best option and choice. Plus she won't be going alone. She has you two for company."

Ollivander had a good point in that last part. Turning towards her and Sev they both stared at the wand maker, thinking on what he had said more than likely.

I on the other hand let my mind wonder on the knowledge that there was another wand shop right here in London. "Minnie, he is right. What is wrong with this Knockturn Alley?"

"Knockturn Alley is a dark district. There are dark witches and wizards in that place that buy and sell items that are illegal. Creatures also lurk there waiting to do Merlin knows what."

"But it's the only place were I can get a wand. I don't want to go to this Gregorovich person, the name gives me chills. Besides the goblins are creatures and aren't bad, yet I saw people treating them badly and being mean to them." Minnie was shocked at my words so I continued, "if we leave them alone and treat them with respect we should be okay. Right?"

Minnie turned to Sev, who has been quiet all this time decided to speak. "Minerva I say we go to this shop. It is already later in the day and Arabella going to Gregorovich isn't a good choice nor option." He stood and headed towards the door. "What is the name of this shop?"

"That would be Carpathia's."

"Thank you for the information Garrick, we will be off now," and with that he stepped out and I quickly followed before apologizing for the mess in the shop.

We walked in the direction of Gringotts before Sev took a right and there before us was a dark and decrepit looking alleyway.

Looking up, I saw the name of said alley. Knockturn Alley.

We slowly walk past some stores with Sev up front and Minnie on the back. Leaving me to be in the middle in case someone decided to try and attack us. I notice we quickly walked passed Borgin n' Burks and I file the location of the store for later.

As we walked, Thanatos and I talk about wands. Or rather one wand in particular.

We discussed and agreed I needed a wand other than the Elder Wand to keep up appearances, along with a way to get the Elder Wand from Dumbledore. From right under his nose no less.

Looking to the right, I see a sign that read Carpathia's. We all stopped and stared at it from the outside.

We could barely see inside due to the tinted windows, the building itself actually looked well kept. More so than the ones surrounding it and something about it made my magic sing, though it feels like it's coming from more than one item.

Both adults just stand there, so I walk towards the door and walk in before either of them could say or do anything to stop me.

Like Ollivander's shop this one had shelves all around. Unlike Ollivander's the shelves weren't filled to the brim with wands, but with crates of all sizes. Turning around in circles looking at the ceiling and the lamp with dim light coming from it.

"Are you lost Little Raven?"

I turned around with my hand up at the ready to blast away the person. A woman in her mid to late 30's. Thankfully I stopped just long enough to realize it must be the owner of the shop, while Sev and Minnie try to walk in only to find a barrier blocking the entrance.
