All of the stars (regulus Black)

*not edited*

The potter house was beginning to become stressed as not only would they have to plan christmas but now they had to buy all new things for Estelle's start at Hogwarts that was confirmed almost immediately by Dumbledoore. Diagon alley was busy but not by Hogwarts children- wrong time of the year. It was mainly full of men Estelle assumed had forgotten to buy gifts for the women of their lives. Beauxbatons required all of their students to have Beauxbatons brought stuff down to the wand! It was a money making scheme if you asked Estelle so as soon as she heard she was aware she was going to Hogwarts her mother mentioned a new wand made specifically for her by Garrick Ollivander like James'.

The first stop for new things was a robe fitting at madam malkin's. Being fit for clothes was Estelle's least favourite thing to do and of course to make it that bit worse her mother had made James (who had come with them to meet his friends) come in with them claiming it was an 'important moment' for the Potter siblings.

"Go on Essie give us a smile," James chuckles teasingly only to be smacked upside the head by his Mother making his friends- Estelle hadn't met yet roar with laughter.

"Don't call me Essie or I'll choke you with my robes, jamsie," She spoke, voice smooth as butter. Making her mother sigh and facepalm at the two bickering children.

"Ugh the two of you stop it James why don't you and your friends take Estelle to get her wand and then you can do whatever you want while i get the rest of her things

?" Euphemia tried to reason James nodded and Estelle sighed just wanting to go home.

The kind woman measuring Estelle looked her up and down trying to make sure she had got an accurate measurement from all areas and removed the measuring tape from Essie's body. "Young lady you are free to go with your brother and his charming friends," Estelle smiled happily and began walking towards her mother who was holding her coat and put it on kissing her mother goodbye before waiting outside for James and his friends.

"Oi Essie this is Remus, Sirius and Peter," James introduced as Estelle smiled mumbling a 'hello'. Looking around her she noticed her tiredness and achy body creep up on her. She was getting sick. Deciding to ignore it she spoke.

"James do we have to get a wand can't I just use my old one there's nothing wrong with it?" She yawned. James, noticing something wrong, placed the back of his hand on her forehead.

"Ess are you feeling okay?" He whispered in her ear. She forced out a laugh.

"Im fine james just tired," She said walking towards the wand store. James shoots a knowing look towards Sirius, Remus and Peter beckoning them to follow.

Estelle was gobsmacked by the sheer amount of beautiful wands in the store walls covered in boxes of wands, James looked at his sister in awe smiling at her happiness.

"Jamsie look at this, did you get yours from here," He nodded, pulling her to the desk and tapping the bell. An old raggedy looking man came out placing the many boxes on a desk.

" Hello children... Oh lord is this the other Potter," he grinned turning his smile to the youngest of the 5.

"You my love what is your name?" he questioned kindly. Estelle looked up and smiled the kind of smile that could break a mans heart.

"Estelle, what is yours? I know your last name. I mean your first name?" She asked hitting place in Mr Ollivander's heart that hadn't been hit in so long.

"Why my name is Garrick let's find you a wand then," Essie nodded in response before watching the peculiar man stalk the walls before landing on a box pulling it out he asked her to cast a simple levitation spell on the box. She did, then he asked her to hand the wand back. Inspecting it he spoke,

"Not the right one but almost close, we'll try another," He left her confused as he walked further into the room of wands clearly with a specific one in mind. Estelle turned to look at James giving him a confused look. Her headache was growing worse. A few seconds passed when Garrick returned with another box in hand, open. He handed her the wand asking her to perform the same levitation char on a box. She once again did it and handed the wand back. His hopeful smile faltered symbolising this once again wasn't the wand for her and silently stalked off like on a mission to a glass case. Talking out the middle wand and it's box he walked back over.

Upon handing her the wand she felt it melt into her body as if it was meant to be everyone in the room saw this and the stiff expression they had seen her use with the other ones disappeared as did the confused eyes. She looked relaxed. She seemed to snap back in ease performing the levitation charm on the box. The want felt like it was working with her rather than for her, movements soft and angelic.

"My dear I think we've found the one and it was an experiment one never worked with these woods before, eleven and a half inch italian cypress and Myrtle wood with a dragon heartstring" He spoke looking at the bliss expression on the little girls face and then turning to her brother who tried handing him the required money. Garrick stopped him.

" Mr Potter your little sister is too pure to have this want brought, consider this a gift"

James nudged his sister who had forgotten about her oncoming sickness snapping back to her aches.

"Thank you Mr Ollivander have a lovely day," She spoke softly and turned to the door waving. Suddenly as she was walking behind the group of boys a wave of dizziness hit her as she made her way to the wall for support heaving for breath she leant against the rough crumbling brick wall. The boys hadn't noticed, they didn't need to, she wasn't going to look weak to a bunch of 5th years when she'd only just met them.

As she thought about the experience she'd just had her vision clouded and she felt herself fall but she couldn't feel what she hit or who had caught her.

James Potter had noticed his sister's absence about 30 seconds after she had lent against the wall, turning around to look, catching the attention of the other boys. It was Sirius who questioned his actions.

"Prongs what are you looking for..... Oh um Estelle," the boys began scanning the area until each of their eyes hit the small dark haired girl in the arms of none other than little Regulus Black.
