Order Only: Percy's wand
Jul. 27th, 2014 06:52 pmPercy's personal effects were returned to us from the resort.
Among the items was Percy's wand.
It was his original wand, bought when he was eleven. Hazel and dragon's heartstring.
I...I tried a spell or two, because we were wondering whether it could be passed on, as Dad's was. Just simple things, first year spells: lumos and wingardia leviosa.
But the wand is absolutely quiescent. Mum insisted on trying it, too, because Charms are her forte, but she agrees: there's no magic left in it at all. She said she understands that this happens sometimes to wands made with hazel wood when the owner dies.
We think the best thing to do is to bury it with him.
