Looking into Ollivanders eyes he could tell that the old man knew Ron was lying but the wand maker loved talking about his passion so did not care "now that you understand what the core does in a wand, let me tell you about the wood," the plies of wands behind him changed, most flying back to the shelves and a few new one being added "The wood acts as an easier path for the magic to travel, this lets you fine tune the magic to get more delict results, now try this one please Master Weasley." Ron picked up the wand a gave it a wave, the warm feeling of his magic flowing through his body took him by surprise, his magic had never felt so alive and he was very excited but his magic reached his hand and as it seemed to enter the wand it stopped and recoiled, the warm sensation disappeared and Ron was left feeling empty. Out of the tip of the wand a sputter of sparks flew to the floor, dying out immediately.
