Oh, fir! Mo's wand was fir, and he perked up and waved a hand at the itty bitty Slytherin. "Hey," he gestured the boy over.

Now to find a partner. Alice took a quick look around the room before singling out Mo.
"Cactus. How long is your wand?" They'd worked together on class spellwork enough that she could at least tell they were similar lengths, if not exactly the same. And if they weren't, she could hack a bit off his wand or something.
Oh, oops. There was an Alice, who had somehow popped out of nowhere. Creepy, creepy Fischer. Mo panicked, and like the terrible liar he was, he hid his wand under his desk, as if he was going to try to insist to Alice that he didn't even own a wand and she must be crazy.
Only... the only reason he wasn't supposed to work with Alice in class was so that West could work with her, right? And West wasn't in this class, so it wasn't like she was picking him
over West. And what if Alice couldn't find anyone? She had one of those weirdo wands that no one would match. Mo worked it over and over in his mind, trying to logic out whether or not West would mind, all while hiding his wand under his desk from Alice.
Finally, he pulled it out and laid it across the front of his desk with a sheepish air. Fine. Just measure it, then. "Eleven and 3/4 inches. Balanced fir. I polished it this morning, y'know?" Like she cared.
