Hey!

So Hermione mentioned to Wrathion that she doesn't like her wand and he offered to make her a new one. What, like it's hard? It's just a stick to focus magic! You get those for like no money off the auction house!

There's a fiddly aspect with attunement (tm) by HP laws, and wood is important? Apparently? But it just so happens Hermione's original wand and her icky one both use... dragon in the core. And it turns out, Wrathion has access to lots of dragon-related stuff pretty easy.

Cella is conceptually cool with him actually doing this successfully at some point, which just leaves a question of how successful we let him be and I'm leaving this up to you! Obviously anything he makes won't be made by HP rules, so some funky side-effects are entirely possible.

1. Its just a wand, but romantic because he made it. You ever had someone make you a wand with a bit of themselves in it? Romantic. (This is the 'no actual side effects' option).
2. Its a wand but any spell she casts that could be considered earth or fire based always comes out SLIGHTLY more powerful than she wants, both useful and frustrating... and potentially comedic.
3. Its a wand but weirdly extra attuned to her emotional state, and when she's feeling volatile her spells become more volatile. You won't like her when she's angry.
4. Its a wand but her eyes flash red when she casts with it. Spooky.
5. Some combination of the above, or an alternative? I am down for suggestions.

I've tried to be conservative with these and just keep them like, Fun Flavour rather than Absolute Nonsense!

I'm also down to be punished if Hermione ever loses this wand that probably has Wrathion's blood in it. When you make decisions you gotta commit to consequences!
