{Lily's laughter is...contagious. It's one of those laughters that fills up the room and warms you from the inside out. When the picture comes into clearer view, it shows the young woman standing on her tiptoes before a willow tree. Gently, she runs her fingertips down one of the tree's branches, searching for weak spots.}Will this do, do you ( Read more... )

That's right. {Lily tilts her head, her red hair cascading over her shoulder.} Never heard of them?

I haven't either. To be honest, the whole concept is foreign to me. But I want to help someone who is researching how to craft them.

As for what I can do with it, pretty much anything.

What makes wood flawed exactly, Frau Potter?

[Video] thewinterdoe August 26 2011, 20:22:13 UTC

Any knobs or weak spots can potentially lead to it cracking.

I'm a bit of an ignorant newcomer to magic, but how do wands work, exactly?

It's a mystery to anyone but wand-makers. Wand craft is definitely an art.

I saw you talking to Yuma. I am Tomoe Mami- and I'm fine. I'm not lost.

[Video/Private] thewinterdoe August 26 2011, 20:22:45 UTC

Oh so you are the one she was looking for! Is everything alright?

[Video/Private] stepford_smiles August 26 2011, 20:38:57 UTC

I'm just fine, and I appreciate the concern.

[Video/Private] thewinterdoe August 26 2011, 20:48:38 UTC

You needn't thank me. I hate to see someone as upset as she was.

[Well, this is awkward, being singled out like this. Hermione's never exactly been a social butterfly, and this whole "dead-people-being-up-and-kicking" thing is still a little uncomfortable for her, but at least she'd met Sirius before; Lily is new. But not-new. Okay, so Lily is a legend and Hermione feels intimidated as hell, wringing her hands just slightly as she forces a strained smile onto her face. So sue her.]

Oh... yes, I... I heard you were here. That is, presuming you're Mrs. Potter, as I've only seen one or two pictures of you, so....

I'm actually working on making a wand for myself as well. I had a piece of wood delivered to me by an anonymous benefactor. But we can go together to look for something for you, if you'd like. And if you want Harry along, by all means, I can ask him.

{No suing necessary. Lily knows that this must be odd for her, but there's nothing for it. She needs a wand and Hermione is the one with the knowledge - or so she has been told.}

I am, but I prefer if you call me Lily. {Legends have first names. And, most of the time, they don't think of themselves as legends.} I only included Harry to make you feel more comfortable. I don't bite, but it...must be strange for you, hm?

[Video] / [Private] bookish_lioness August 27 2011, 04:59:08 UTC

[She... doesn't know what to say, so she just keeps on smiling.]

I-... yes, it is. But it's not you. I had much the same reaction to Sirius.

[Video] / [Private] thewinterdoe August 27 2011, 05:01:09 UTC

Hermione, I'm not offended. {She sighs softly.} But I'm just as real as him. And if you're friends with Harry, I would very much like to know you - with or without a wand.
