Hamish had absolutely no idea what compelled him to apparate to Hogsmeade on this particular night, but Gervaise's last letter had left him more than desperate and he had the sneaking suspicion that his severe lack of sleep as of late was making him a little crazy. He knew he was crazy, he was a MacFusty after all and he was crazy for Violet, but this was a whole new level of crazy, even for him.
He did know however, that he was not going to let Gerbold Ollivander stand in his way when he had absolutely no good reason to do so. As far as he could tell, in Hamish's opinion anyway, Gerbold was just being difficult because Hamish had blundered the etiquette of asking to court Violet, but it wasn't as if he hadn't asked at all. Gervaise had been all too willing to hand Violet over and therefore Hamish had unfortunately assumed that was the entire family's view (which angered him, quite a bit).
It appeared that was not the case, but that didn't mean Hammy was going to sit by and just take it. No, no, he was Scottish after all, they were known for their stubbornness and he was also as pig-headed as one could some, so he was not going to just sit there and let the situation be controlled by somebody who really didn't have much to do with it in the first place. Hamish had every intention of marrying Violet whether or not he had Gerbold's permission, though it would certainly be easier and less of a scandal if he did. It was easier to think that way knowing how Violet felt as well. Their meeting at the waterfall replayed in his mind over and over, helping to steel his resolve in this decision to show up at the wand shop today.
He'd waited until it was only a few minutes before closing time; there was no reason to make a huge scene if he could avoid it and spectators were not welcome as this was unlikely to be a pleasant confrontation. When the last customer exited the building, Hamish took a deep breath and strode across the street and through the door at a brisk pace, like a steam engine on a full tilt boogie toward the station. That way he couldn't change his mind.
Hammy had no idea if Gerbold would recognize him upon entry, but it didn't stop him, he made his way right up to the counter where the older wizard stood with a steely gaze in his eyes, though he could not quite find the best words to start the discussion with, he waited half a beat to see if the wandmaker would recognize him.
