Michael laughed aloud at this, looking at Aria with genuine amusement on his face "Aria believe it or not I'm not worried about what people say about who I talk with. Honestly I think YOU might only get more popular if you are seen talking to me. As to the wand... you don't think you are worthy of it don't you? If so your troubles will only end when you let that feeling go and realize you are worthy of the wand. Maybe even more than worthy. You think I didn't have trouble with my wand at first?" He smiled at Aria holding his wand out. The rowan wand was definitely not by any means new. "This was passed down to me directly from my great-great- great-great-great grandfather. He was the last one to use this wand before me and he was the original owner. It's over 300 years old and it had it's kinks at first. I too thought that I wasn't worthy of it... I mean this was the wand of the very first Minister of Magic. I didn't think I could possibly live up to that. But then... around Halloween last year I realized that I didn't have to. I just had to live up to my own full potential and that itself would make me worthy of it. I haven't had any issues with it since." He said looking the girl in the eyes his golden ones that looked so much like a dragon's never blinking. "I can help you if you'd like." He offered softly his voice full of genuine kindness.
