What Mother Says
Theme 19: Wand


Like thousands before him, Regulus Black walked into the shop with eager steps and an eager countenance. As always, Ollivander noticed.

- As always, Ollivander ignored.

"Mahogany, thirteen inches, nice and flexible," the shopkeeper stated, tapping the wand against his desk. "Very nice for Charms, Mr. Black. "

"Charms?" Regulus scoffed, his keen expression suddenly replaced by one that assured Ollivander that he was, indeed, a Black to the core. "Mother finds it useless."

What Ollivander did not tell the boy as, wordlessly, he passed him the wand, was that the Dark Lord's wand had been one suited to Charms, too.
