"I could work harder at it if that's what is needed though."

Ottavio gave a short nod. "Charms and Transfiguration. Potions and Herbology are also quite useful as they'll familiarize you with certain magical ingredients, plant and animal species and their reactions." He felt as though he were really giving her the tip of the ice berg with it. "You might also like to pick up a copy of Augustine's 'The Lore and Lure of Wandlore'. It's out of print now, but I believe Flourish and Blotts still carries it. It has some very, very boring information about the history of wandlore, but it also contains worthy bits about some of the things old wand masters used to have their apprentices do to help them learn the craft as well as the basic things people are often curious about when they come to wandmaking."

"Hello there! How are you this afternoon, lad?" One of the booth keepers smiled welcomingly at the new face when he approached.
