"I'm such a bloody idiot." Gabrielle said to her cousin and absolute best-friend Amelia March as the pair of them walked into the wand shop to get a new one. Gabby had set her wand down for a few seconds so that she could get something and she had forgotten where she put it. She sat down and it snapped in half, completely destroyed and without being able to do anything about it. She looked at the now snapped wand and groaned, she had it since her first year at school and it never failed her, why did it have to break now? Her cousin just shrugged and took the old thing in her hand gently "Gabby, you need to be careful with this new one, you really can't afford to be breaking these things...it would take a lot of getting used if you did...not to mention your parents would be after you constantly." Was her reply and Gabriella rolled her eyes, leave it to Amelia to say something like that, it was just habit obviously. Amelia handed the demolished wand back to her before heading off to look around the store while Gabriella took care of getting a new one.
Slowly and unwantingly Gab walked to where Mr.Ollivander usually was and leaned on her elbows, bent over the front desk before she set the broken wand down like it was fragile and looked at it once more. It looked pathetic and it was depressing to her...maybe her cousin was right and she would need to be much more careful when dealing with this new coming one...she was just lucky that her parents were nowhere around when she had the little accident with the previous once. She looked around to see if the shop owner was anywhere to be seen and unbelievingly he wasn't...she would try to wait a little bit longer before she left, she could not go for any amount of time without a wand...she hadn't since she started at school and she wasn't about to now, and besides her parents would know something was up anyways.
Several minutes had passed and Gabby was growing increasingly impatient...she wanted to leave so she could finish everything else she needed to take care of, she did have other school supplies she needed to purchase before heading home and there was still so little time...she really couldn't afford to dawdle anymore. Sighing she picked her old, thoroughly destroyed wand and placed it back in her pocket before she turned around to go search for Amelia and leave but as she spun around quickly she ran into someone, though it wasn't on purpose. "Oh Merlin's pants, I'm sorry." She said hurriedly and feeling embarrased, if whoever it was wanted to hex her she wouldn't blame them because it was the exact thing she would do in that situation.
