She brought it over to the matron and sheepishly held it out for her to take. "I really am sorry, I hope it's not broken!" As she moved her hand away from it she found her palm was covered in soot. She looked back at the wand and spotted a deep crack in the wood she hadn't noticed before. She could only cast simple spells and not even a great many of them compared to older students, how had she managed that?!
