    ... over to Diagon Alley." Neville touched the watch in Harry's hand and they quickly went to Diagon Alley. Harry started off toward Ollivander's Wand Shop with Neville catching up. "I guess I can tell you now Nev. I am taking you to Ollivander's to get a new wand." "But I already have a wand. It was my Dad's wand." "Precisely! Mr. Ollivander says it best, 'The wand chooses the wizard.' The wand you have is your Dad's wand and it did not choose you. It chose your Dad. Remember that I told you I have a second wand?" Neville nodded his head. "I came to Ollivander's when I was eleven years old. He told me that 'the wand chooses the wizard' and my holly with phoenix feather wand chose me. It was different from all the other wands Mr. Ollivander had me try. It was perfect when he put it in my hand. I knew it and he knew it." "When I first met with Simon and Henry, they insisted I use a second wand that could not be traced so I could take care of a few things I had to do in order to get fully moved in at Potter Place. They did not have my parents' wands so I started with my grandparents first…wait a second I need to remember to ask if anyone knows what happened to the wands my parents used.

"I never knew this" replied Neville. "And, I imagine that your grandmother simply forgot. Neville, you are a powerful wizard and always have been. You can do wandless magic with more power than you can using your Dad's wand. That is the opposite from what it is supposed to be. The correct wand will give you more focus and power to your magic. You need a new wand and I am going to make sure you get one today. You have just enough time to get used to it before you take your OWLs." "Thank you Harry." A couple minutes later they arrived in front of Ollivander's. Harry opened the door for Neville, let him in, and then followed. Once inside he made sure no other customers were there before he locked the door and turned the sign to say "Closed" with a simple wave of his hand. Ollivander came out from the back to greet them. "Ah, Mr. Potter and a friend" said Ollivander. Harry waved his holly wand at himself and then Neville to change them back to their regular selves all the while wondering how Ollivander saw through his disguise. "You must be Neville Longbottom.
