It's snowing and Luna Lovegood could not be happier. Or rather, she could be, but she doesn't think about things like that to begin with, making it a bit of a non-issue. Tonight she wears shoes, and carries her wand, as well as a glass bottle, one item in each hand. She is still entirely under dressed for the temperature in a yellow dress over jeans that drag on the ground. The white sweater is over-sized, which helps a little, if only because it has the look of a rather comfortable cloud, less like a piece of clothing, and as she walks up to the familiar house, she glances around for a moment. No, there are no strange inferi reminiscent creatures here. She feels badly for them, a bit sad, but she knows as well as anyone, there is little to be done about it but to wait for it to pass. Seeing Destrier, well and where she first met him, her direction becomes more specific and she sets both the wand and bottle down so that she might cup her hands, gratified when the horse breathes warmly against them, nudging slightly

Good magic.
"It takes all kinds," she nods. There are bad wizards and witches of course. There are good ones. There are people with no magic at all both good and bad. There are those who were one thing and are now trying to be another, or have been trying, and for a lot longer than anyone her age might comprehend. Severus comes to mind though she wouldn't presume to know his motivations. It seems foolish in regards to that particular man.
You're welcome.
Again she smiles and the flower-like cut-outs don't wander far because it is only a floating charm, not a following one or a sending one like her shoes have.
"Where we come from, it can be both good and bad, though it only becomes bad when certain people use it. That's true of many things though, I suppose."

"I am certain it is," he says with a slight nod, referring to the truthfulness of that.
The White Witch is definitely sorcery, as were her two wards sent to cut his hand, but Aslan is also magic, perhaps the greatest magic, and Luna and Merlin know magic as well. Of all of them and the magic users that come to mind, in Narnia and in this City, Jadis is the only one who truly strikes him as deplorable. Beyond that, people seem to be a greater threat than magic itself. He remembers Claire and Karolina's secrets and why they are made to keep things that way. He understands too when Merlin speaks to him of Arthur's father and Arthur's father's rules. Caspian hopes he has done away with that for Narnia, not just for the dwarfs and the centaurs or the fauns and the Talking Beasts, but for Telmarines as well. However, the wand is still an evil, tainted magic, the might of one man's army in the palm of one woman's hand
