Wade wasn't all that surprised when the circumstances on his first wand being lost was brought up. Well, it wasn't like he deliberately dropped it, so he felt like explaining, "
It fell out from my pocket while I was on the boat. It had been too late when I realised." ...and something told him that whatever he said wasn't going to make up for the loss.. Meh.
SPOILER!!: Ira

AHEM. He cleared his throat.
"You should all know what a wand is. I'm not going to harp on about basic definitions, and I'm going to keep the inane questions to a minimum since I don't particularly want to waste my time. YOU lot can ask questions, and I'll choose to answer them if they're worth answering." Paaaaaaaaause. And vice versa, he supposed. Honestly Ira didn't give a kneazle's rear if people participated or not. That was on them.
"I'm Ira Banner. I'm a wandmaker. And an author. All my books are about wands. I don't care about other things. I'm here because I have to be to promote my new book, and because," He paused and then said as if it was something he had to say, "Ollivanders Wand Shop and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have for many generations shared the goal of helping Magical folk become the best possible witches and wizards they can be. You can't do that without a quality wand, or without a quality education. Ollivanders have generously sponsored this seminar. Ollivanders Wand Shop: makers of fine wands since 382 BC." This all in a monotone by the way. Because who cared really? Just getting the necessary stuff said.
"We're going on a field trip today, but first we have to talk about things. Wand things." And don't think he wouldn't just leave people behind if they fell asleep or whatever. Best pay attention.
"Does anyone know how many standard wand woods Ollivanders uses, and also: name some." There were plenty. Mhmm. Might surprise them really.
Anyway, it was time for the Q&A. So far the man before him was blunt and clearly didn't care much on what others thought of him. No really, he actually said that himself. Hm. Furrowing his brows, since he didn't know how many standard woods they had, but at least knew some of them, making him raise his hand, "
There's Oak, Ash, and Mahogany as some of the woods."
