  • Willow: Willow is an uncommon wand with healing power. The ideal owner for a willow wand often has some (usually unwarranted) insecurity, however well they may try and hide it. While many confident customers insist on trying willow wand (attracted by their handsome appearance and well-founded reputation for enabling advanced, non-verbal magic), willow wands have consistently selected those of greatest potential, rather than those who feel they have little to learn.
  • Phoenix Feather: This is the rarest core type. Phoenix Feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn or dragon cores to reveal this. They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord. Phoenix feather wands are always the pickiest when it comes to potential owners, for the creature from which they are taken is one of the most independents and detached in the world. These wands are the hardest to tame and personalize and their allegiance is usually hard won.

The Boy
At a first glance, Simon Holden is everything a young man ought to be: chivalrous, cool, kind, and complacent. He rarely lets anyone else know what he’s thinking. His troublesome older brother (Marcus) and loud little sister (Allison) often overshadowed him during his childhood.

He was born on June 5th in Melbourne, Australia. He doesn't remember much about Australia as his parents received an assignment in the UK so they promptly moved overseas. Simon doesn't really know his extended family too well. He's met them when he's gone back for holidays, such as Christmas and 70th birthdays, however, he doesn't feel as if he belongs there. He feels rather confused about where he belongs.

When he was nine, he found out that he could shine. He could do things that his siblings couldn’t do. He could levitate a leaf lightly in the air or push a swing without his hands touching the set. His parents became worried and scared. They didn’t know what was wrong with young Simon so they took him out of public school and began home schooling him. They limited his interactions with his siblings and began monitoring him constantly. This decision on his parents’ part made Simon more reserved.

At age eleven, an owl carrying a note answered his parents’ worries. Simon was a wizard and he had been offered to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. His parents turned down this offer because they preferred for him to attend an institute that was closer to home with the extended family around. So he enrolled in the Australian Academy of Wizarding. Eager to get away from being under his parents thumbs, he asked his parents over and over again if he could attend the school. His parents were unsure at first; however, they soon agreed that he could. Joining the Wizarding World made Simon feel like a deer in headlights. There were too many exciting things to pay attention too.
Simon spent a rather lonely first two years at the Australian Academy as he kept to himself and his studies. He observed his housemates and their interactions. He felt like an outsider in his own house. His parents saw that the boy was struggling so they decided to move him to Hogwarts in hopes that it would make him happier. So far it has. He has to lower his defences and be friendly.

However, he feels most comfortable at Hogwarts now.
