Ellory could never understand the fashion of women not bringing their wands with them whenever they went. Evey was like that and it had been suggested at finishing school that a lady of good society didn't really need a wand at social events. If something happened that would need the use of a wand, there would be a man around to help.

Well, Claude wasn't around to be the man and charm her shoes and thankfully, Ellory always brought her wand with her.

"Here," Ellory struggled a bit to remove her wand with her free hand, seeing that the pocket was awkwardly situated on the other side. "It's a very friendly wand, don't hesitate at all!" Ellory still remembered Mr. Ollivander's description of her wand after all these years. It was a flexible wand, friendly, like its owner.
