The wand crafting discussion
Some time where Daniel Valour attended Hogwarts with Angelique and Jason.
Rose's POV
As I was getting some French Toast, I caught the end of a ridiculous conversation between two 4th year Slytherins.
"I'm telling you! Yew and Hawthorn wands are Dark Wizard wands!"
"Hmm...as it happens I know a bit about wand crafting, the woods and cores along with their meanings. So I can, from time to time, make an accurate guess what someone's wand is made out of according to their personalities," I said nonchalantly to the two Valours and the annoying Slytherin.
Daniel raised one of his eyebrows in interest. "Really? Care to guess mine, little Angel?"
"You really should stop with the flirting Valour, I already told you that I'm immune to your 'charm'," I said, before continuing.
"Hmm...I'd say your wand is made out of Dogwood and, maybe some Willow wood? Perhaps as a handle? I'm only guessing of course, since I haven't witnessed you use your wand."
Daniel paled, "La dracu! Yes, my wand is made out of Dogwood, with a Willow handle. How'd you guess that?!"
I snorted. "I told you, I can guess a person's wand based on their personalities...hmm based on that I'd say your wand is custom made, certainly not by Ollivander or Gregorovitch for that matter...maybe American?"
Valour roared out in laughter and the Slytherins looked at him as if he's lost his sanity. Slytherins wouldn't dare act so...immature, always keeping their masks of indifference on, outside the Common room. "I'm sorry. It's just...wow. Excellent guesswork, Angelique! My wand is indeed custom made and I was advised to go to America to get my wand crafted, as neither Ollivander nor Gregorovitch's wand cores reacted to me. Well done, I'm impressed," He exclaimed.
"It's nothing, I'm merely fascinated by the art of wand crafting, and I'm an excellent observer," I said smugly. "Jason. Alder and Spruce, also custom made, Phoenix feather and maybe another core to balance out the wand?" I continued.
Jason smirked. "Correct, my other core is Rougarou hair. Had to go to 2 different wandmakers for my wand," He said.
"Hmm...Rougarou hair...interesting, it's still fitting of your personality, despite it's tendency to bond with Dark wizards," I said with a smirk.
"La dracu, you're good," Daniel stated.
"Please stop swearing in Romanian Valour, you're giving me a headache!" I snapped.
"How do you know it's Romanian, Rose?" Jason eyed me suspiciously.
"First, I excel at languages. Second, despite being raised in South Africa, my mother was Romanian and spoke it with me regularly. So stop giving me that look, Jason!" I said defensively, bending the truth of course. I was born and raised in Romania until I was 15, but they don't need to know that.
"Sorry, it's just we know so little of you and you never mentioned that you knew Romanian," Jason said apologetically.
I snorted. "What, afraid I was listening in to your family fights between you, your uncle and brother? Don't worry, I hardly ever actually focused on what you were fighting about," I said indignantly before standing up and walking towards my first lesson of the day, leaving the boys speechless.
