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.

He wasn’t sure if his grandfather was famous. But he did make wands. ”He’s a wandmaker…” Sammy leaned back as she leaned forward. Why she was so interested in his wand, he wasn’t sure. But rather than risk her falling off the seat again, he pulled the wand out and offered it over to her. Were stones really that unusual in wands in England? He wondered. He’d seen gems and crystals and other semi-precious stones in other people’s wands. And that was just at school. He’s seen other things in his grandfather’s shop. ”Ah, it’s a jobberknoll feather. Ash wands are pretty loyal.“ And usually their owners were pretty stubborn. Or so his grandfather always said. He wondered if Elanor was stubborn. So far, their interactions didn’t really tell if she was. ”They’re supposed to be good for fire and lightening spells.”

”It’s a school for Russian students. It doesn’t really take non-Russians.” Well, it did, but the application process was very very difficult. And, it was underwater. He wasn’t sure how much he could say about the school though. He didn’t want to end up losing his hair or something as a result of saying too much. ”I think you have to be born in Russia to get accepted.”

Sammy wasn’t really sure what to say about a poltergeist or a ghost professor. Both sounded – weird. Did they have a hard time finding a living person to teach a class? And if so, it didn’t seem like a good sign to Sammy.
