Oh, we have something similar, too, only it's for anyone. All the women in the family bring charmed figs and banyan flowers and for girls there are silks that represent the virtues and then for boys the men of the family give the baby charmed weapons - you know, arrows, staffs, knives and so on - so that he'll be strong and have potent magic. And everyone has lots of bells to appease the gods so they'll bring the magic right away.
But it's really interesting that you get your wands right away. Do your parents hang on to them for you? Sanji keeps asking for a wand but Dad says he'll just break it if they give it to him now, so they're making him wait until he's 10.
Black is...well, I guess it's all right. Our robes are black, after all. But I think royal blue suits you very well.
And aren't you going to go into the Auror programme? I mean, that's what you told Dames you want to do, right
