beelikejThought I was gonna be busy with two fandoms today; I had planned to do make another design for the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
spn_reversebang after I finished my modwork for nickngreg. But the day turned out differently when just after noon an owl arrived in my mailbox with my welcome-message from PotterMore \o/
Needless to say I spent the rest of my day on that website;)
If you want to friend me, my name is PhoenixNight165 (please leave me a message here or on one of my other social network places to tell me who you are in RL or online, because I won't be able to tell on PotterMore;)
My Wand is made out of Laurel wood and it has a core of Dragon heartstring. It's 12,5 inches long. Here is a description of the materials, as written bij Mr. Ollivander.
Dragon Heartstring
As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner.
The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts, though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental.
Laurel
It is said that a laurel wand cannot perform a dishonourable act, although in the quest for glory (a not uncommon goal for those best suited to these wands), I have known laurel wands perform powerful and sometimes lethal magic. Laurel wands are sometimes called fickle, but this is unfair. The laurel wand seems unable to tolerate laziness in a possessor*, and it is in such conditions that it is most easily and willingly won away. Otherwise, it will cleave happily to its first match forever, and indeed has the unusual and engaging attribute of issuing a spontaneous lightning strike if another witch or wizard attempts to steal it.
*Dammit.
I'm about to board the Hogwarts Express and hope to get sorted into a house tonight. (But there is so much to discover everywhere I can't tell how long it takes to get to school;)
