Necessities

Aaron could practically feel a bead of sweat drop down from his hair and down his face as he eyed the man with the wand in his hand. He tried to stand as stiff as a board, but it just made his knees ache with the exertion. Couldn't he just go home already? His parents had had enough after he had received his wand, and they trudged off to the Leaky Cauldron after telling Aaron that they would be back after they had had something to drink. He bit his lip and started to move a little bit away from the floating needle before the man snapped at him.

"Still!"

Aaron jerked again and stood straight up. The man moved over to his right muttering to himself, and on reflex, Aaron turned his head to try and hear what the man was saying. "Non! Restez toujours!" Aaron swallowed inaudibly and watched the needle hovering near his hip again. He was getting tired of the man telling him to stay still, or at least, that's what he figured the man was saying in French. He wasn't up on languages after all. He yelped as the needle came close to him, and the man finally sighed. "Muggleborns. Oui, you're done. Allons-y."


The robe disappeared from his body and the boy couldn't move fast enough off the display. Although the man was done with him, Aaron had seen quite a number of odd hats that lined the back walls. Making sure the man wasn't going to get near him with that floating needle again, he made his way to the back of the store to look at some of the strange things these witches and wizards had.
