Maybe they shouldn't have played hot potato and instead kept their sacks. Ashley felt slightly regretful. But it was too late now. "I don't think the elder wand is specifically evil, but I think it tends towards evil because of all the power. I wouldn't trust it or want to use it." No thank you. Ashley liked her wand just fine. She hoped this detention wouldn't be too bad. This activity was a chance to see who everyone's real friends are, she supposed. Right about now people with two sacks would be sending each other to detention. That would probably cause drama. Ashley refused to do that though. She thought of this less of a win against others activity and more of a how do I save me and my friends game. Maybe she should have just given both sacks to Sophie.

Sophie had been really impressed with Ashley's use of Wingardium Leviosa. She needed to practice that one more. But then, sadly, before she had a chance to use the spell herself the Headmaster called an end to the activity. Slightly panicking, she watched the Ravenclaw turn in the two sacks to the Headmaster. When Ashley didn't say her name, Sophie felt a huge amount of relief...and admiration of her. Maybe this meant they were friends now. Sophie smiled at the thought.

When it was her turn to answer the Headmaster's question, she paused a moment to think. She didn't know a whole lot about the Elder Wand, just what she'd read in some books. She knew it was a very powerful artifact and like the Headmaster said, you had to earn its power by winning it from someone. Remembering that the Headmaster was a stickler for brevity, Sophie tried to be as concise as possible in her answer.

"What's most impressive about the Elder Wand is that, because of its fickle nature, to own the Elder Wand shows everyone how powerful and strong you are. Only a powerful wizard can wield the Elder Wand."

Sophie thought about whether she would actually trust the wand or want to use it. "As long as you wish to demonstrate your power and conquer your enemies, the wand is trustworthy. It respects the one with the most power."

She didn't go so far as to say that she would actually use the wand, but if it came right down to it she knew she probably would. Power was hard to resist, especially if you knew you could do great things with it.
