"Hello, I presume you are Mr. Voss?", said the old lady in red robes wearing a funnily part witch hat.
I did not reply being stuck in a daze of the miracle I just witnessed. A freaking cat turned into a freaking human!!!
"Mr. Voss? Yes? ~" she tried to get me back out of my daze with a snap. Which worked, "Ahem. Yes I am indeed Kaelan Voss, the one who recieved the letter from Hogwarts. I presume you are the person sent to help me Ms. ...?"
"McGonagall. It would be Professor McGonagall to you"
"Professor McGonagall, it is a pleasure to meet you. Might I ask which subject is under your jurisdiction? Although I do not know what subjects are there at all"
"I will be teaching transfiguration Mr. Voss and there are many subjects which we will soon talk about. However, right now we have more pressing matters to attend to I believe?"
"Yes, please follow me I will lead you to my residence sir where we will find my gaurdian Sister Mary"
We walked back to the orphanage while all kids and other neighbours were giving weird looks to the old lady. I opened the door and walked to the kitchen with the professor in tow.
Soon reaching the busy sister preparing lunch, i called out to her and informed her of the visitor which soon made her come out to the dinning room.
I gave her the letter and she was introduced with magic by the professor and convinced about things and was soon made to understand the procedure in which we encountered a problem.
"I believe I had asked for any information about any possible financial aid available for the purchase of supplies Professor?"
"Yes, but the school has no tution fee which itself is a great burden for our financial situation as you may image Mr Voss, Sister Mary, and we would not be able to help in the purchase of supplies which I believe with the current conversion rate from the pounds to galleons, wizarding currency, would be around 500 pounds, definitely less than that not more."
"But professor we are unable to gather such a large amount of funds as you can see I am in a orphanage. Is there a bank loan possible in the wizarding world professor?" Asked the little responsible Kaelan while sister looked at him with sympathy and helplessness.
"Yes, I believe gringotts can help you there, however considering you are an underage wizard with no magical guardian there needs to be some kind of collateral or guarantee of repayment they will probably seek. I believe such a loan through the channel of Professor Dumbledore, our school headmaster, can be applied for with proper contract conditions. The main idea is that you would be provided money for your supplies in your school years till you graduate from Hogwarts and only as long as you maintain the top grades throughout your academic life to ensure you aquire a job that can repay the debt after graduation. I believe the idea seems reasonable enough, Mr. Voss?"
"Yes Professor, thank you"
"Great! Please wait some time, I will be right back to assist you in buying your supplies as I go to bring your loaned money after the application."
*POP*
Woah! Did she just disappear? Wow. Can people do that? I seems like she teleported or something as she said she would travel. Huh... You can use magic to influence space and time also?!? Wow, let me try.
Soon after trying to feel space energy I found out that the space can be manipulated!! Albeit I could only change small bit of direction before exhausting myself.
After 3 hours of trying to feel space and time, I only felt space a little.
*POP*
"Mr. Voss, Please follow me."
I held her outstretched hand. "As we are quite low on time I will be apparating us in each of the shops please try to bear with the unpleasant experience. I apologise in advance"
I look at her in confusion only to soon realize it was indeed quite unpleasant only barely bearable while using the 4th dimension.
I fall down and feel my stomach churn and rising. I control myself with great difficulty and then recall the magical experience of moving through space albeit unpleasant.
The masterful precise manipulation of the space using the change in gravitation vectors, this is the einstein theory of relativity. Even time can be sped by somehow visualising each infinitesimally small unit of time which causes change to be smaller and larger for slowing time down. It will probably require insane amount of precise control and spirit.
"... Voss, Mr. Voss?" asked Professor standing beside my on ground form with a tinge concern.
"Yes Professor I am fine. I think, but that was amazing magic such intricate control and perfection must definitely required years of diligent practice."
"Why thank you. Mr. Voss. We can continue this discussion on magic however after the start of the academic year, right now we must hurry to buy our supplies as I am on quite a bit of time crunch."
We moved through the bustling diagon alley with fast steps under the guidance of professor. The whole place was full of all kinds of unique patterns of magic, all unique and creative. Some set of patterns Kaelan noticed were recurring. He could see these patterns pulsing as magic energy was inputted into it in some form and was given as output in other. The feeling of everything was so ethereal and complicated through the 4th dimension that no one could imagine such a beautiful feeling.
With all the supplies bought except pets as they were optional and money was a scarce resource, we decided to go ahead and buy the wand finally.
*Jingle jingle*
I enter the old shop with dusty wooden smell and a very creepy old man staring at me. He looked into my eyes as if he was staring my soul out of me. Soon professor entered right after me.
I saw the numerous wands stacked in shelves quite clumsily, must make sense for that guy. The wands were such beautiful intricate patterns of something I am starting to call magical circuits. The beauty of it was breathtaking. I could also see small ball like structures similar to spirit in organisms in these wands. It was quite diverse, these wands had these spirits very straightforward and simple in terms of their magic power control. I tried focussing on one of the spirits and it soon sucked me in.
The whole 4th dimension changed. It looked like some patterns were more easier and more natural to control and while others got fainter and harder. I tried to pull back only to find myself back to myself. It was quite easy going into a wand and coming back out.
"Aah! Ms. McGonagall! Good to see you! I suppose your 9 1/2 inches long wand, made of fir wood, with a dragon heartstring core is serving you well?"
"Yes Mr.Ollivander, however I would like if you would please help Mr. Voss here in choosing his companion in his wizarding journey."
"Nice to meet you Mr. Ollivander. I am Kaelan Voss"
"Aah yes! Pleasure, pleasure. Now if you could please show me your dominant hand."
I show him my right hand, which he soon gets hold of and starts measuring quite eerily. How can someone exist so eerily and do everything eerily. Well Mr.Ollivander here seems to be a prime example of such an existence.
He soon finished up and went back to take out a few wands and put them on the table.
As the famous wandmaker was doing all this, I was trying out all kinds of wands and their spirits. It seemed like some were quite uncomfortable while others were more comfortable. I was trying them all out, comparing and marking their boxes with a small bit of magic to indicate that I already tried them and also marking the good ones with double marks.
Soon I finished all of them by the time Mr. Ollivander brought all the wands for me to try out onto the table. I say these boxes and understood why the person in front of him is a wandmaker as famous as he is. All the ones before me were one of the most comfortable ones. I decided try them all out again using the 4th dimension. After finishing up really fast I picked up the most comfortable one and most diverse in its application, this one felt almost nearly like my own 4th dimension.
As soon as I touched it the circuits connected spread all across my body like a branching out snakes and roots. It was a ethereal feeling as a bright shine was produced and the wind picked in response to the resonance between my magic and the wand.
"Aha! 1st try 100% compatibility. A sycamore wood wand... Hmm... Very unique. Seems like you young man will be quite a quest seeker. I advise you to be careful with your wand as your wand with sycamore wood and dragon heartstring is known for its powerful and flamboyant magic, quick learning, and tendency towards accidents. Well hope you and your patner have safe quests together."
