Maynard felt oddly reassured as Hart gave him the word he was looking for, without making any fuss over the fact that he'd lost it. He didn't know exactly what it was, but he was starting to like the other boy. He began to feel even more relaxed when Hart told him that he didn't know much either. He had been worried that he would be far behind the others. Most of the students here were certainly from wizard families, after all. But if Hart didn't know much, either, then maybe most of them didn't.<br/><br/>When Hart spoke next, it took Maynard a few moments to figure out what he was asking. He shifted awkwardly, before moving over to his bags, pulling out his wand. He stared at it with a mixture of nervousness and reverence. He had felt rather silly as he was trying them out, waving around a stick to see what would happen. But eventually he had picked this one up, and he had felt it. He still felt something when he picked it up now, though not nearly as strong. "He said it was blackthorn, with a phoenix feather core." His flush returned for just a moment as he spoke, staring down at the wand. It still felt silly to say things like that. Phoenixes and dragons. It was almost more strange to think those things existed than magic itself. At least he'd done some of it, before the letter arrived, even if they hadn't really let themselves believe that was what was going on.<br/><br/>He looked up, glancing at the other boy again, wondering if he should offer it to let him look. He didn't know what the etiquette surrounding these things was. But at the same time, he didn't really want to offer it to the boy. It felt like quite a personal thing. It had chosen him after all.
