A thousand books had taught Sam what would happen if he bought shoddy equipment. He'd rather not be on the receiving end of that, thanks.
Being just a week before term started, the shop was packed with people. A girl ahead of him waved her wand and flame spurted from the tip. Oh, that didn't look unsafe at all.
