Facebook inspired story about Magic 3

But he took me to the wand store and I was surprised to see a young looking man behind the counter.

"Wand arm?" the man said to me (without even a greeting) I said "Right" and he immediately ran to me and started taking my measurements, then thrust something that looked like a stick in my face. I swung it like I had seen them do in the movies, and the vase on the counter exploded. I stared, as both men said calmly "nope, not that one" and the wand man rushed behind the counter and came back with a pile of the stick like wands and told me to pick one. I selected a dark colored short one. "Unicorn hair and mahogany, 9 inches" said the man, I swung the wand and nothing happened. "We have a winner!" said the man. "Put it on the Hogwarts tab please" said Mr. Prettymand. I was very content with my new wand, and was still admiring it when we wondered in a bookstore. Mr. Prettymand ran around, and grabbed what seemed like hundreds of books, went to the back of the store, and came back. Next, cauldrons and robes. We ran around to every store in the tiny alley before he decided we were done.

a few months ago I cleared out all my old crappy stuff and did a bunch of new stuff though (so that might be what gave you that impression)
