The twins were up in their bedroom, preparing to head to Diagon Alley with their father and godfather. Harry was sitting on the bed, trying to contain his excitement as Draco buttons up his shirt in the stand up mirror.  

Harry smiles, "I can't believe we actually got in. I mean, it was only a matter of time but still".

Draco smiles and nods, "I couldn't agree more, we will certainly leave a legacy there". He turns to face his brother, "That school will feel the wrath of the Slytherin Twins".  

They laugh and head downstairs to meet the two men, who were waiting in the foyer of the manor.

Severus turns as he hears footsteps, "You boys ready?".

They nod, "We were born ready".  

He smiles and holds his arm out, Draco walking over and grabbing onto it. Harry walks over to Lucius and takes his arm. The two men nod to each other and apparate out of the manor.  

They land in an alleyway of sorts, the twins guess that it was to not draw too much attention to themselves arriving in such a manner. Looking around, the boys noticed that they were actually in Knockturn Alley, their absolute favourite place to go shopping.  

Lucius smiles as he could sense their excitement, "I know you're both excited to be here but we need to focus on getting your supplies for school".

They both pout, "But daddy...".

He leans down, "Now, now, none of that. We came here for a reason and we are going to fulfil that. Once we have everything, you both go wild. How's that sound?".  

They look up at him sheepishly, "You promise?".

He smiles, "Of course".

They nod, "Ok".

Severus smiles, "You two should be lucky I'm here. As a Professor, I know exactly what to get and where to get it. Come on, let's head to Ollivander's first".

The family exit Knockturn Alley into Diagon Alley, heading towards Ollivander's Wand Shop. The twins were walking ahead, eager to get their perfect wands. When they see the shop, they immediately run, racing each other to get inside.

Lucius calls out, "Stay close, boys!".

Severus laughs, "Leave them be, Lucius. They're excited".

He smiles, "You're too soft on them, my friend".

"Someone has to be. You are the one to appoint me godfather after all".  

Lucius shakes his head, "I'm starting to regret that".

Severus gently hits his arm and they follow the boys into the shop. Opening the door, they see the twins looking around in wonder, staring at the walls and shelves full of boxes that contain all kinds of wands.  

Harry turns to his brother, "I wonder what kind of wand we'll get".

Draco nods, "Me too. Maybe it'll be made of yew like grandpa's".

Severus blushes and whispers, knowing Lucius is smirking at him, "Shut up".

Harry jumps, "Oh, maybe it will have a core of dragon heartstring or a horned serpent horn".

A voice emits behind them, "Quite the knowledgeable pair". They turn to see the shop owner, Garrick Ollivander, smiling at them, "You have raised quite the children, Mr. Malfoy".
