LOUISA SNAPE - 1990
Chapter 1
So Sevie has her wand, and is now learning to use it properly. I am no expert on wand lore but I believe that I can give a certain insight to those that wish to understand a little more on the subject. Describing and understanding your wand is one of the first things you must do when you study magic, and if you have taken charms you will know that you need to write about the experience you had when buying your wand. Let me start you there.
I was taken in 1990 to Diagon Alley with my uncle Severus Snape and left in the shop with the house-elf Gert. I bought it from Mr Ollivander himself. I ended up with an unbending, 12.5”, SYCAMORE WAND WITH DRAGON HEARTSTRING. What does this mean?
Well I can tell you that SYCAMORE WOOD makes a questing wand, eager for new experience and losing brilliance if engaged in mundane activities. It is a quirk of these handsome wands that they may combust if allowed to become ‘bored,’ and many witches and wizards, settling down into middle age, are disconcerted to find their trusty wand bursting into flame in their hand as they ask it, one more time, to fetch their slippers. As may be deduced, the sycamore’s ideal owner is curious, vital and adventurous, and when paired with such an owner, it demonstrates a capacity to learn and adapt that earns it a rightful place among the world's most highly-prized wand woods. It is said that it is one of the world’s most highly-prized wand woods. I’m not sure about that.
DRAGON HEARTSTRINGS produce wands with the most magic power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner. The dragon wand tends to turn to the Dark Arts, and can be temperamental. This is certainly true for me although I do like to say that the dragon stole my heart. Other wands known to have a dragon heartstring core are that of Hermione Granger-Weasley, Bellatrix Lestrange, Minerva McGonagall and Lucius Malfoy.

WHAT MY WAND SAYS ABOUT ME.
My wand chose me. It is made of sycamore wood and has a core of dragon heartstring. This shows that I have an erratic personality and do not like to be bored. I am curious about the world around me and adventurous. I have a lot of magic within me and can learn quickly. I have a strong bond with my wand. I can be temperamental but I think this, like my other powers can be controlled.
