But thankfully the subject changed with her rejection of his offer. It was fine with him. He probably wouldn’t have done a very good job anyways. Although, he wasn’t about to announce it.

”Um,” he reached out fiddling with the green tourmaline stone. ”I think Dedushka, ah…Grandpa,” the word felt funny on this tongue. ”Said it would help channel protection and defensive spells?” But as Samuil hadn’t learned much in the way of protection and defensive spells, he wasn’t sure if that was really the case. ”He was quite surprised that this wand chose me,” he added. ”Because he had made it with someone else in mind.” Yes, his grandfather was a wand maker. One of the best in Northern Europe if you asked Samuil’s opinion. He sensed she was sad about something and so asked, ”What does yours look like?” hoping the question might perk her up. Sad girls usually led to tears and awkwardness. He really didn't want to deal with that on his first day at Hogwarts.

Everyone always thought of Durmstrang when they heard Russia. But nope, that’s not where Samuil had gone. “Koldovstoretz,” he answered with a shake of his head and which would explain why they hadn’t met each other until now. ”I heard Durmstrang has a nice swimming lake.”

He hadn’t known about keeping pets with the Care of Magical Creatures professor. While it would be nice to see Jarvey from time to time, he wasn’t certain if he’d be happy staying in a pen all day. It was probably best to leave him home with his father. The girl, Eleanor, however had moved on from animals to ghosts. Ghosts were interesting to talk to, or so he heard. ”I didn’t know that. Are those the only ghosts in the school?”
Ellie had definitley been weirded out by his offer and it looked like Samuil hadn’t picked up on her akward moment signals. Did that say something about her or him? Regardless she wasn’t going to let a boy she had just met on the train try healing potential bruises on her body. Just no!

She craned her neck and leant forward eagerly in her seat dangerously close to falling off her seat again as she examined Samuil’s wand closer. "Pretty," she murmured as she eyed the green tourmaline stone. "I hope it helps you cast stronger spells in our coming lessons. Does it have a special core too?" Maybe it would or wouldn’t? She was none the wiser. Ellie’s eyes wen’t big and wide at Samuil’s next reveal and she had to ask to to believe in what she had pieced together from his words. "So your grandfather is a famous wandmaker like Mr Ollivander was?"

Pulling her own wand out of her jeans jacket pocket Ellie held it out to Samuil. "My wand is 11 inches made of ash and unicorn hair. I bought it at Ollivanders." Furrowing her brows in slight confusion she said "I didn’t know there was a school called Koldovstoretz in Europe. Is that just for russian children to go to?" If it was then she was glad oh merlin help her if it was open to international kids too. Ellie did really not want to go a fourth school.

Shaking her head she said "No, there are more ghosts like Peeves the Poltergeist too and maybe even a ghost professor." Or so she had heard mentions of on the platform who had taught charms last term.
