"Good question, Cope," she said. "Since wand wood is magical, it has it's own protection. Heat from the feather or even the venom from the Basilisk Fang will not harm it."

"Well yes actually. That is something we will be going today in class," she said.

And yes YESSS it was HIIISSSS turn. Cam touched it. He smelled it. He tried to hear if it made any noises. He really wanted to see what it tasted like but... eh. Pretty warm as well. It took him about a minute until he passed it on when he raaaaiiiiissedddd his hand higgghh.
"Dooooo the wand cores ever run out? Like... do wands have expiration daaates or suuumthin'?" Did they? Did THEY? Wandlore was so... kableh bleh complicated. He started twirling his wand with the other hand.
Weeeee funfunfun.
Professor Morgan shook her head. "No Cameron, they don't run out," she said. They were magical too, after all. "But wands CAN be broken. So handle them with care."
"Okay class, I'm going to hand the class over to Professor Bunbury for just a moment. When I return, I'll have something very special to share with you." With that said, Professor Morgan, smiled at Anastasia and headed off towards the Sanctuary.
