"This is eleven inches and two thirds of delicate aspen, with a billywig sting core. The core makes for an undoubtedly dependable wand, excellent for charms work, and charms concerned with propulsion or lift in particular. You should master the wand relatively quickly." As he spoke, Zeke set the other wand boxes to the side, so that he could easily return them to the shelves when they were done here, and prepared to ring up the wand itself. A rather distinct looking wand too - not many wand woods were so light in hue as this one. "Aspen is also excellent for Charms, and for duelling too. It's often said that the owner of an aspen wand is attracted to revolutionaries, and also to a notable duellist or an individual destined to be one. The Silver Spears apparently used to only accept duellists with aspen wands." But he was going to get off that subject before he went off on a tangent. Zeke did enjoy the history of wands. Naturally. "Aspen also helps to direct focus."

Now then, he supposed that was plenty to be getting on with. "The wand by itself is 10 galleons, plus anything else you might like today."

The wand CHOSE her. Sophia liked thinking of wands as being able to choose. She admired the wand itself as he described it. She wasn't sure what a billywig was, but she was sure she could find it in a book somewhere. And it was good at charms and and and dueling? That was cool. She didn't know how to duel, for obvious reasons, but she thought she would make an excellent revolutionary someday. If there was something to revolt against. She was trying her best to make mental notes of everything the wan man was saying, but he was saying so much! She still had all her other shopping to do, so she hoped she could remember it when she got home.

But she'd just gotten her first wand, and it was beautiful. Prettier than her brother's or sisters' wands, in her opinion. "Thank you, sir, I love it so much," she said when he'd paused.

Oh, and for the price. Sophia's parents had told her, just the wand, so she counted out her ten galleons. "Just the wand, please," she said, polite as could be. Her very own, pretty, dependable wand!!!!! Her granddad would be so proud.
