-has a wet face now, looks annoyed-

Erestor stayed still, mimicking sleep so he wouldn’t bother his sister. Only when he knew she was settled in bed with him did he roll over, then pulling her into a tight hug.

//They both have pear and unicorn tail-hair? Nice! :D

I’ve never heard the theory that wands of the same wood and core would amplify each other’s magic, but that’s a really cool idea. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case, with the similar energies feeding off each other.

And of course, given how many different combinations of wood and core there are, not to mention wand length and flexibility seems to play a part, it’s not likely two people who work so closely together would have wands that similar. So it would really be an unusual situation, but it could definitely account for part of their success!

Also we know that wands with cores from the same creature have a very special relationship - is that what you meant by twin wands? Or just that they have the same type of core?

(Merlin’s beard, my inner wandlore nut is loving this XD)

This is a very interesting, if probably muse-specific, headcanon and I, for one, am happy to accept it!

(Also send your Alice my way immediately I need an Alice for Frank please and we need to develop all of the headcanons XD)

“Ah, perhaps you are right. We have always favoured secrecy and subtlety over open warfare. Although I’d not say I’m know for picking my battles - I’m always ready for a fight.”

“Where do I start? Teddy’s one of the best things that ever happened to me. You know, I spent a very long time never thinking I’d ever have children... but a beautiful woman with a good deal of common sense is working on curing me of those issues.

“I remember the first time I held Teddy, I felt all the worries drop away. He was probably the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen. I’d been so scared he’d turn out like me - I mean, with my condition - but once I saw him it didn’t matter any more, because he was my baby and Dora’s and I loved him.” *chuckles* “He gave me a bit of a start when his hair turned red, though. He definitely takes more after his mother than me.

“I mean that in more ways than just being a Metamorphmagus, too. I’ve never known a child so clumsy. I don’t think there’s been a single week since he began crawling where he hasn’t bumped or hurt himself or fallen over somehow. Not that it ever stops him. He’s got a huge sense of adventure - he wasn’t satisfied till he could climb all the way to the top of the tree in his gran’s back garden, and he’s forever trying to explore every corner whenever we go somewhere new.

“That said, he’s a very good student. He works hard, and I’ve had no complaints from his other teachers about his behaviour... at least, not since his first year when he got caught putting a Flobberworm down a girl’s robes. I don’t know if that means he’s actually behaving better or if he’s just better at not getting caught, though. It wouldn’t surprise me either way. Neither of his parents were exactly angels at school. But he doesn’t cause trouble for the sake of it, which is all I could really ask for.
