Nodding at the Gryffindor Prefect who spoke next, Dominic had to admit this lesson he hadn't really paid much attention during. So he, himself, would need some extra studying on the material. "Oh? Is that so? Then please enlighten us on any three of the wand cores your learned about. Include of course, these differences you speak of and the abilities the cores gives to the caster." This study session leading thing wasn't actually that difficult, it seemed.
Chris smiled and made a mental note that when he ran a later Study Session, to have the students desribe the lessons and then help if others needed help. This seemed a good way to one, get the students confidenve up, and two show that they knew more than they thought they did.
"Ok Dom." He cleared his throat and then began to tell all he could remember about the cores and their differences.
"Well the three main types of cores used in wands are Unicorn hair, Dragon heartstring, and Phoenix feather. Firstly the Phoenix feahter wand is very good at protection and lasting spells. A phoenix feather core gives a better defensive potential. The Unicorn Hair core has powers of the Unicorn itself. It is great at Healing spells and at Transfiguration and Charms. The Dragon Heartstring core is also great at Defensive spells and Transfiuration. This wand is strong and does well at performing Hexes." he finished with a nod.
