"Ahh such a curious mind, brilliant, that helps narrow down the options. Oh of course I always love talking about my work" as Olivander began to explain the process, Hermione's eyes were draw to behind the man where the rectangular boxes that lined the shelves flew out and started floating behind him "Well to begin with there are two main components of a wand, the wood that makes up the outer shell of the wand and the core of the wand, would you mind trying this one, yes just pick it up" Hermione went to pick up the wand but as soon as her skin touched the wand heated up burning her hand "ahh so definitely not pear wood, sorry about that, now where was I, ahh yes the two ingredients. The core is full of magic and needs to be properly prepared before being added to the wood, you could just go around taking unicorn hair and putting it inside of some stick and then expect it to work, the finer details of this process of preparation is something each wand maker guards, but the basic steps are the same, one must remove any impurities in the core, and the same for the wood, then bind them, do you understand my dear?"
