I-... I know  that I've been scarce since- since recently. I suppose I just haven't managed to think of the best way to properly apologize. I said and did many things that I-... that I think we all know I didn't mean. And to those who had never met me prior to that event, I'm truly sorry for such a horrible first impression. If I said or did

I'm afraid you'll have to repeat that again, Miss Granger, I didn't quite catch it.

[bookish_lioness]

[You bastard.] You can replay the message, I'm sure.

[snarkypotions]

Oh? You don't feel like... speaking, to me anymore, Miss Granger?

[bookish_lioness]

We have nothing to talk about.

[snarkypotions]

And?

[bookish_lioness]

And I find it interesting to have found something so... precise. I'm sorry to say that I still find myself somehow lacking in the art of wand-making, but I thank you for your efforts.

[snarkypotions]

It was all I could find from the library, unfortunately. They do not help you either?

They're very interesting, but I'm afraid wand-making is not my forte. I'll arrange another meeting with Negi Springfield and see if he can be of more assistance, though. I don't want your assistance to have been wasted.

[alwaysreturned]

Oy! I haven't brought that many back.

[Except he has. Totally.]

[bookish_lioness]

... Ron, I can open up my own pastry shop, if I had the inclination or the talent.

[alwaysreturned]

... What's so bad about that?

[bookish_lioness]

Nothing. You're just claiming that you didn't bring very many apples in.

Your words and willingness to rectify the situation prove that you are a kind and responsible person. Do not allow yourself to become burdened with guilt- it was an event, and you were just as much under the influence of it as everyone else.

...having said that, what do you mean by wand lore?

[bookish_lioness]

Thank you for that. I'm afraid I can never look at some people without a certain degree of humiliation, but... it's nice to know that people understand.

Essentially, I mean the history and art of wandmaking.

I understand. But it will pass- time, apologies, and explanations heal most bitter feelings left by callous actions. Especially when taking into consideration that nobody was quite themselves. Adstringendum sustained a lot of property damage in this recent event, and there was even a death. Your transgression was almost mild in comparison. Please do not trouble yourself over it.

What are the wands used for?

[bookish_lioness]

... I encouraged the destruction. Just because I had no direct hand in it doesn't mean that I wasn't involved.

We use wands to focus and direct our magic. Using magic without wands is much more difficult and occasionally unpredictable.

Wand lore?

[He's curious.]

[Video]

[bookish_lioness]

... yes. The history of it, and the art behind creating one. It's not really the sort of thing one can learn from a book, but it's still interesting.

[nexmosnonlucror]

Do you know the authors? Are the names still intact?

[bookish_lioness]

No, I happened to come across the books in an abandoned school; they appeared rather old, and it was only after thumbing through them that I was able to make out that they were about wands at all.
