It wasn't long before the two of them stood outside a run down looking pub. She grinned at him. "Come my dear. Just follow me." They walked into the pub an though it looked a bit off outside, inside was much larger.
People were having a good time all around and David would notice that the attire had changed drastically from what he was use to on the streets of London. People here were dressed in all sorts of wizard or witch garbs. She nodded her head to a few people that addressed her as 'Professor' and they made their way to the back of the pub.
Once there she looked at him and whispered. "Are you ready my dearest Siren? For you are about to see, that which muggles do not see. In your mortal life you would not of known of this place." She grinned waiting for him to answer as they stood facing a seemingly sturdy and solid brick wall.

David was silent as they went into the run down looking pub and quietly he looked around at all the magicals all around him and the scents were overwhelming to him. So much magical blood and he had to keep his composure. He had definitely stepped into a different world indeed and he had to pause a couple of time and look at all these magical with his eyes behind his sunglasses. Following Aisha once more and noticing several of them calling her professor. He was smiling as they came to a brick wall when they reached the back of the pub and slowly placing his hand upon the wall and nothing happened which confused him a moment and he looked to Aisha.
He steps back to her side and smiles. "I am ready my love." He looks to the wall now waiting for something spectacular to happen.

Aisha smiles and pulls out her wand, tapping a specific brick and watching as she takes a step back with him and all the bricks began to shift and move. When they finally stopped moving the opening leads into Diagon Alley. Where there is still traffic roaming here and there but not nearly as busy as it can be through out the daylight hours.
"Welcome to Diagon Alley my love." She walked through to the other side and waited for his reaction.

David slowly took his sunglasses off as the wall began to shift brick by brick after he wand touched the wall and there it was Diagon Alley and for a moment he just stood there in amazement feeling the days of old when he would come across a place that the winds has taken him. "Laissez les vents vous emmener merveilleux et excitant. (Let the winds take you place of wonder and excitement.)" Slowly he stepped through into her world now and placed his sunglasses back on and looking around at everything. Things flying about that he had never seen before. People more people dressed very differently from the mortals he had seen.
He stood next to Aisha right now and just gazed at everything in wonderment. "Your world.....words can not express...." He whispered as people walked by him with the most interesting things he had ever seen before. All of this was overwhelming to say the least and the scent of magical blood was everywhere, at least he had satisfied his hunger earlier in the night.
"Amazing...." He whispered.

Aisha watched as his eyes lite up with excitement. She watched as he took his first step into her realm of wonder and excitement. His eyes seemed to look everywhere at once and it seemed that he was a bit overwhelmed by it all.
"It is. Very amazing. We can just walk and let you take it in, or we can stop at different shops if you wish. There is a broom shop, yes we ride brooms. Though not quite like in the stories of muggles." She laughed softly. "Quill shop, wand shop, book shops, robe shops, a pet shop for magical creatures, an owl post office, some restaurants, Gringots which is our bank, run by goblins, yes actual goblins. Apothecary, joke shop, toy shop, candy shop. Take your pick my dear Siren." She smiled. She knew it was a lot to take in and she hadn't even brought up Knockturn Alley and the shops down there yet.

David was trying to remember everything she was saying to him but his eyes kept darting back and forth. "Did you just say actual goblins?" He could not believe what he was hearing and rubbed his face a bit and looked at several people that actually were looking at him right now and then going about their business. "Brooms as well?" He just shook his head and smiled. He could not believe such a world was hidden from the rest of it and yet at the same time he could. Humanity had a way of making things very ugly once they took over an area. He had seen it happen too many time over.
"This is your world my love. So I shall follow and let you lead the....." He felt a tug on his jacket and he slowly turns now and see a boy at least the age of twelve and the boy was smiling at him. "I love your music Mr. Alexander and I am glad you are feeling better." David smiles and drops to one knee now to the boy and slowly removes his sunglasses and places them on the boy. "Thank you young man. But I need you to keep it a secret you saw me. Remember I am still healing." David winks at the boy who smiles and nods to him and heads off towards his parents.
He slowly stands up now and looks to Aisha. "Even in your world I am known......amazing." He whispers.

"We listen to a variety of muggle music dear. The fact that you are what you aren't doesn't mean they don't believe you aren't muggle. Of course, until the boy saw you. I am sure people are going to think you are witch or wizard now." She laughed and pulled him along.
"Then let us just walk. We can stop where ever you want to see first." She wondered how Mr. Ollivander would take it seeing a vampire. He was so old in age but he was the one who made her wand. It would be wonderful to see him. He was such a sweet man. She couldn't remember a time when he didn't seem elderly.

David felt like he was in wonderland for lack of a better word. A new land for him and so much to discover stirring the old privateer in his blood to a degree. As he went with Aisha he looked to her. "I do not even know where to begin to look. All of this is so overwhelming. There is so much life here in your world."
He paused at a very old looking store and looked to Aisha. "What kind of store is this my love?" He asked curiously.

She walked with him and listened to him speak. "We don't have to be here if you need to go dear. I don't want to overwhelm you to much." She smiled and looked at what he was seeing. "That is a wand shop. Mr. Olivander's wand shop. He has made wands for longer than I can remember. I think he made my parents wands even. I know he made mine."
She smiled at him. "Would you like to go in and look around? He is quite the character. I remember the first time I stepped in here with my parents. He knew both of their wands just by looking at them, hadn't seen them in twenty years or so. He never forgets a wand." She smiles looking at the shop. She remembered that day. It was the second wand he had given her to hold and she just loved the way it felt.

"I am alright Aisha just so much to take in." David whispers and looks at the outside of the wand shop and looks to her once more. "So this is where you all get your wands then? Intriguing. From one man." He listened to what she said about her parents getting their wands and such and he smiled.
"Anyone you desire for me to meet Aisha I would be very honored." He smiles and now looks back at the shop once more with curiosity.

"Well no, not everyone gets their wands here. There are other wand makers through out the world. This just happens to be the best place." She smiled as she took his hand. "Well come on then. Let's see if the old man is still awake."
She walked to the shop door and as it opened the door rang out. There are boxes upon boxes lining nearly every place and as of the moment the Wand Maker isn't seen.

Behind the counter, sitting at a work bench, is a very old man, a monacle screwed into one eye, working with timber and tools. His store has extremely high ceilings, and another story above. All is lined with row upon row of neatly stacked boxes. He looks up as they approach the counter, and at the sight of Aisha he breaks out into a broad smile. "Little Aisha Ria, how you have grown! And a professor now? Your parents must be very proud. Let me remember ... Birch Wand with a Phoenix Feather Core ... how is it working out for you?" He looks up at David, who towers above him, "and who is your handsome friend? What amazing eyes he has ..."

Quietly David enters and he stops right in the middle of the room looking at the row upon row and stacked to the high ceiling of boxes to which he could only imagine contained the very wands he was told about made by this man. His amazement was growing more and more. David pauses hearing Ollivander speak and looked to the elderly man and smiled with a respectful nod and looks to Aisha.
"He still remembers your wand that he gave you?" He slowly looks back to the elderly man. He heard the compliments and another nod of respect.

Aisha smile brightly. "Mr. Ollivander, it is so good to see you. The wand is wonderful. Tricky at first but it has been sometime. She is still a beautiful piece of work and she never fails." She stands next to the counter.
"Ah, this is Mr. David Alexander." She looks between the two of the men. "You heard of the treaty with the Ministry and Vampire correct?" She asked him as she was still smiling as she held a hand on David's arm.

Ollivander nods. "Of course, of course ... some years back now. More an agreement to keep each other's secrets than an actual treaty, but important nonetheless. mr Alexander, haven't I heard that name somewhere before? The muggle musician, no?" He looks closer, "but a change has occurred if I'm not mistaken. Does this mean that Mr Alexander has recently become the living dead?" He pulls off the jewellers' monacle and puts on eye glasses instead, looking at David carefully.

David falls quiet as Ollivander and Aisha speak to one another and then hears his name and slowly turns now and looks to the old man with a curious gaze. "Muggle?" He looks to Aisha and then back to Ollivander once more. "The musician I am but...." He pauses a moment with how close he was to him now.
"I have been the way I am for over 200 years sir. The last I was living....were in the days of privateering for one's king or queen." He raises an eyebrow watching Ollivander looking at him. "Is everything alright sir?"

Aisha nods her head and smiles. "Muggle, for non magical folk." She said with a whisper into David's ear. She watched as Ollivander switched to his glasses letting the two speak to each other. She looked around the shop for a moment.
Nothing had changed in all the years since she had been in the shop.

Ollivander watches David as if examining him.
"Everything is quite well, Mr Alexander. This is a most interesting meeting for me. I have not met many of your kind." He holds out his hand to David, not to shake, but as if he wants to examine David's hand somehow. "May I?"

David tilts his head a bit at what Ollivander was doing. He felt like he was being examined or something but at the same time he was still fascinated by the old wizard before him. David looked to Ollivander's hand and heard the request from him and thought for a brief moment at the request.
Slowly he placed his hand to Ollivander. "Of course sir." David smiled.

The old wizard takes Davids hand and examines it closely. It's not a scientific investigation, but one noting careful detail.
"My apologies, but you are quite amazing. The magic that sustains you is unique among magical creatures. I wonder, if I might harvest a few hairs from your head. For my work. It would be most interesting to see how they functioned as a channel."
Ollivander looks almost hungry, his interest so intense.

David quietly watches Ollivander as he was studying him well more like attention to detail. David looked into the old man's eyes when he asked if he could harvest a few hairs from his head and something about seeing if they functioned as a channel or something. He was definitely confused at the moment. "Ummmmm....sure I guess." David looked to Aisha wanting an explaination as to why this old man wanted some of his hair.
He looks back to Ollivander and waited for the harvest in a sense.

Ollivander goes to his workbench, carefully selecting what look like intricate pliers made of silver with a handle of bone. Setting them aside he selects a jar of Rose coloured glass and places it on the counter. Putting on fine black gloves, he picks up the pliers once more and washes them carefully in a silver solution. Then he approaches David.
"This won't hurt. My precautions are to protect and preserve the magic, nothing more."
He reaches out, and very carefully, plucks half a dozen of David's longest head hairs. It stings briefly, but no more than that. Ollivander then coils the hairs down into the ruby jar, placing the lid on securely. With a flick of his wand, the jar is sealed with black wax and moved untouched to his workbench.
"Thank you most sincerely young man," he says. "What might I offer in recompense?"

David watched in amazement at the tools and precautions that Ollivander used to procure several hair samples from his head. He wanted to protect the magic in his hair? Strange this was not the first time he had been asked or told or asked about magic with him. To him it was the blood that gave all vampires their gifts not magic so he really never understood any of it honestly.
It did sting a bit but nothing major as he watched Ollivander seal and protect the jar his hair strands were placed in. David raised an eyebrow when Ollivander asked what he could offer him for his hair which once more confused him.
"You are most welcome and honestly..." David gazed at Aisha and smiled and looked back to Ollivander. "I have all I could ever need and desire in my life."

The old wizard smiled, and nodded. "Not the first inter species union I've heard of. You'll find it challenging at best, but I'm sure you're both aware of the dangers and troubles ahead. I wish you both the best of luck."
He nods respectfully to the two of you.
"A pleasure meeting you, Mr Alexander."

Aisha watched the interaction, intrigued that Mr. Ollivander wanted some of David's hair. Maybe a new core of some sort possibly. He seemed to always have his mind on the wands. He was unmatched anywhere else in the world and she wondered if David's hair would hold any of his magic or it it would prove dead like the mortal flesh that carried upon him now. It was a crude way to look at it she thought and she shook her thoughts away.
David seemed to look at her with concern for a moment but she didn't offer any words as Mr. Ollivander went about collecting his hair. When David answered the last question that the elder man had asked she just smiled politely.
"Thank you very much Mr. Ollivander. I am honored he was able to meet you." She smiles as she takes David's hand.

"It was an honor to meet you sir. I do hope you find what you are seeking with my hair." David nods respectfully and takes Aisha's hand and heads back out into Diagon Alley now and looks around once more. "Interesting fellow though the whole requesting some of my hair was rather weird but....still." He smiles.
"Where to next my love?"

As they walk out the store she turns back once more to glance at the old wand maker, she smiled brightly at him. She wondered how much longer he had. It wouldn't be much longer now she thought. A few years maybe. She was saddened by the thought as the night air met her along with David's words. "Ah well, most likely to see if they would be a suitable core." She whispered.
"Let's walk a little bit. See what else sparks your interest. That was a rather nice introduction to only one wizard, though he is well beyond his years. I would say at least a third your age." She walked with him down the cobblestone path. "Would you like to see some paintings? Far better than the ones you have, I can assure you." She grinned widely at him.

As they walked David looked over his shoulder at the shop one more time hearing that Ollivander was very old that he hoped that life would give him at least several more years of life. "Core? My apologies but I do not understand how my hair could be made into a core." This was all confusing and so much fun at the same time. Then he heard her talk about painting and he smiled. "Wait....far better then the great artists of the renaissance or after them....this I must see." He laughed.
Oh this should be an eye opener.

She smiled. "A magical conduit of sorts, something to go inside the wand itself to help us direct our magic. Mine is a feather from a phoenix as you heard him say when we went in. Magical creatures with magical abilities help for us to be able to direct our magic through the wands. They are just a nicely carved piece of wood." She smiled. He really didn't know much. She had to slow down this was going to be a huge step for him. Much in the same way his world stunned her in many ways.
When they reached a small restaurant she gave him a slight wink and they walked inside. "I think a spot of tea would be nice my Siren, don't you?" She asked as the made their way to the counter. She wasn't going to point out the pictures hanging all over the small place. She wanted him to see for himself as people came and went in the portraits and some even spoke to other patrons inside.

David tried to understand the whole core concept of their wands and it was just too confusing for him at the moment. talk to him about lyrics or music notes and chords and he would write a story for the ages but wands yeah he was totally clueless. Once they reached the restaurant he walks in with Aisha and over to the counter. It appeared as any regular.....wait did that painting just move? And another......and another. David slowly turned looking at all the pictures in this place and they were either moving, talking or something else.
This had to be some sort of technology holographic or something. Slowly he walked over to one with a woman that was reading and talking to another portrait and he got very close trying to figure it out and even poked at the portrait to see if he could mess with the image. As soon as he poked the lady in the portrait literally screamed at him. "HEY WATCH WHERE YOU STICK THAT FINGER OF YOURS!" David jumped back and eyes wide and for a moment he almost bared his fangs but restrained and was frozen where he was.
