"Well, professor, “Zoe added raising her hand, "Since the story is that Death is the one who made the wand there are probably certain magical qualities about it that we may never understand until we possibly find a way to truly understand death itself. There may also be a much stronger connection between the Thestral tail hair choice and Death which may help explain the wands odd power. Since a person can only see a Thestral if their lives have been touched by death in some way and the wand was created by death maybe the wand pulls from something beyond the veil or from a part of all of us that is controlled by death. The fact that in order to properly wield the wand you have to defeat its previous owner is also connected with death. Although you wouldn't have to kill the previous owner, many often do and they say that death follows the wand. The sense of power that it gives people may make them more likely to kill when they normally wouldn’t have."

Zoe was completely losing track of her original point, like usual. After a brief pause to reorganize her thoughts, she continued, "What I was trying to say is that the Perverell brothers were trying to master or overcome death, but in the end death tricked two of them with his gifts. In the case of the wand, death made it in such a way that it was connected to death on many levels and would bring that brother and many others to him that much quicker."

In the end Zoe thought that she had gotten her point across, but when she babbled on like that she could never quite be sure. Eventually she just had to stop talking because she felt silly and her mouth started to dry up.
