It took only a moment for Caleb's sleep addled mind to register that Stella sounded scared to death. He nearly fell out of bed in his haste to get to his feet, grabbing his wand from the bedside table. Heart pounding in his chest, his eyes scanned the room. "What? What is it?" he asked, ready to tear the head off whoever was in the house.

After a few moments, the rest of Stella's words registered. Confused, he summoned his bathrobe and held it up. "Why am I summoning bathrobes?" he asked, sitting heavily on the bed, waiting for his racing heart to slow.

"No, no," Stella said, grabbing at his wrist. She was confused and frustrated, looking at Caleb pleadingly. "My wand, there's something wrong with it-" she grabbed Caleb's wand out of his hand and replaced it with her own.

"Do a spell. Anything- just see if it works for you!" It was the only thing she could think of at the moment- that somehow her wand was malfunctioning. If Caleb couldn't do anything with it either, at least she would know what was wrong.

Still feeling off kilter, Caleb used Stella's wand to summon her dressing gown. It felt odd, but using someone else's wand never felt normal. "I think it works alright," he said, setting her gown on the bed.

The implications began to sink in. If it wasn't her wand that was malfunctioning, then it was...her.

"Stella?" he asked, not even sure what he was asking.

Stella watched anxiously as Caleb summoned her dressing gown over with no problem. Still holding onto his wand, she tried again.

"Lumos. Lumos!!" Stella cried, flicking Caleb's wand over and over again, tears starting to fall from her eyes with her frustration.

"What is going on?"
