Hogwarts RPG Name:
Sarah Edwards

x8
Default
Gryffinclaw-Ravendor • The REAL Hermione Granger

Sarah rushed in, she was sure she was not late, yet from the outside she heard noises. Maybe the lesson had started... She looked around.. of course it had. She looked at her watch... WAIT, the class started early. OH WELL. Sarah chose a seat in the back and sat down. She reached into her satchel and took out her permission slip which she placed face up on the desk:
SPOILER!!: permission slip

Child's name: Sarah Edwards
Year: Fifth
House: Gryffindor

I __Rebecca Edwards__ declare that __Sarah Edwards__ is permitted to leave Hogwarts ground on a school sanctioned field trip to the Forest of Dean for the purpose of learning about Wandlore. I understand that while all precautions will be taken to keep my child safe, Hogwarts, Ollivanders, and the employees of both, do not take responsibility for any foul play or accidents which may occur during the field trip, and that my child must act responsibly and respectfully at all times while off Hogwarts grounds. My child agrees to follow all instructions given by the teacher, and understands that attendance is privilege not a right.

Parents signature: Rebecca Edwards
Child's signature:Sarah Edwards

The permission slip was crumpled, yet Sarah had to store it in her satchel to bring it to class, and carrying it in her hand would have made it more crumpled.

She looked at the blackboard and did as required:
Quote:
Wand Wood:Chestnut
Wand Corehoenix Feather
Wand length:11 3/4 in.
Wand flexibility: Unyielding
Is this your first wand? Yes
If No, List the characteristics of any old wands here, and explain what happened to them: NA
House: Gryffindor
Name:Sarah Edwards
With that out of the way, Sarah was able to listen to what the instructer was saying
SPOILER!!: Tegz

"You should all know what a wand is. I'm not going to harp on about basic definitions, and I'm going to keep the inane questions to a minimum since I don't particularly want to waste my time. YOU lot can ask questions, and I'll choose to answer them if they're worth answering." Paaaaaaaaause. And vice versa, he supposed. Honestly Ira didn't give a kneazle's rear if people participated or not. That was on them.

"I'm Ira Banner. I'm a wandmaker. And an author. All my books are about wands. I don't care about other things. I'm here because I have to be to promote my new book, and because," He paused and then said as if it was something he had to say, "Ollivanders Wand Shop and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have for many generations shared the goal of helping Magical folk become the best possible witches and wizards they can be. You can't do that without a quality wand, or without a quality education. Ollivanders have generously sponsored this seminar. Ollivanders Wand Shop: makers of fine wands since 382 BC." This all in a monotone by the way. Because who cared really? Just getting the necessary stuff said.

"We're going on a field trip today, but first we have to talk about things. Wand things." And don't think he wouldn't just leave people behind if they fell asleep or whatever. Best pay attention.

"Does anyone know how many standard wand woods Ollivanders uses, and also: name some." There were plenty. Mhmm. Might surprise them really.

Interesting.. Sarah never eally thought of it, yet the sum of the digits of the year Ollivanders was founded 3+8+2= 13.. 13 was said to be an unlucky number. This was not arithmancy.. so moving on.

Sarah raised her hand, "around forty? well, I can name them all if you want. My brother challenged me to memorise them once. Acacia, Apple, Alder, Ash, Aspen" the five A.. now onto the four B's "Beech, Birch, Blackthrone and black walnut" Now onto the four C;s "there is also chestnut, like I have, then cherry, Ceder and Cypress." Maybe it was time to give others a chance now.
