Chapter 211: Luna Lovegood
The next customer for the shop was equally strange though in a very different way than the Weasleys. Through the door walked a thin tall man with shoulder length white thin hair and slightly crossed brown eyes. He wore a long set of baggy robes and a necklace like a triangular eye around his neck. Behind him walked a eleven year old girl with waist long dirty-blonde hair and very pale eyebrows. The thing that caught Nicks attention the most however was her eyes that were silvery grey and filled with a sense of curiosity and intelligence.-
This was of course Xenophilius Lovegood and his daughter Luna Lovegood having come to shop for Luna's school supplies. Both Lovegood's seemed surprised to see Nick manning the shop with Olivander merely watching on from a chair behind the counter. The two of them were far from narrow minded however and adapted instantly. "Good afternoon sir , we are here to have my Luna matched with her first wand if it's no trouble." Xenophilius said with a friendly smile. "Not at all if it sets you at ease ...." Nick started to speak but Luna interrupted him "You hate saying that." she said catching Nick off guard.-
He was well aware that Luna was far more attuned to magic than most wizards from the books that all but lay it out but that didn't mean he wasn't ill prepared to be confronted with it. He didn't say anything but actively concealed the entirety of his magical energy within his body and watched closely as her face visibly changed in surprise and confusion. "And here I thought I was selling the act perfectly." Nick said with a grin yet Luna merely furrowed her brows while looking as if she was trying to find something missing.-
Keeping in mind her personality Nick immediately went to the ash wands in the store which caused Olivander to raise an eyebrow in interest. Luna reached out and before she could touch any of the wands that rejected her Nick snatched them away. Luna clearly was startled by this but being as clever as she was started to target those wands in particular to test him. Nick was amused at this and played along after seeing how she was trying to figure out if he had lied about being able to see magical energy. Unfortunately for her he had not lied about not being able to see it as his was superior to a watered down magical sense like hers as he could even feel internal magical energy as well as far more than just the emotions held within.
