Ella was confused. Of course her wand was working. Why wouldn't it be, yeah? She kept it on her at all times and unless someone had snuck in to mess with it while she slept, granted that was a lot lately, she couldn't see why it'd need to be tested. She did it anyway though. Concentrated and produced sparks from the tip of her wand, careful not to be too close to anyone else in the line just in case. See, Professor? All good here.

And blood on her hands? Was this something she should worry about? Ella wasn't down for a near-death experience, just saying. Actually, strike that. Ella was probably going to die from this stupid aging thing anyway so she really shouldn't be too scared. She just needed to suck it up and head inside, no questions asked. And as soon as Bellaire gave the okay and the line moved in, she would do just that.
