The rightmost circle of soldiers had what Randolph thought at first were nine soldiers and a man in a suit. But the man in the suit was wearing a purple sash; Randolph recognised the Royal Wizard, Colm Maguire. Meanwhile, one of the soldiers in the rightmost circle, though only in his late twenties or early thirties, was dressed posher than all the other soldiers—Randolph realised he was an officer (though Randolph could not read his rank). Unsurprisingly, the young officer’s forest-green wand had a gold band round it, three inches from the wand-tip.
