HEADCANON #02. | CHARLIE’S  (SECOND) WAND.

                       there  were  several  different  reasons  why  charlie  chose  to  get  a  new  wand  in  1991 .     the  main  one  that  is  relevant  for  this  post  is  that  one  of  the  recommendations  of  the  sanctuary  is  that  short  wands  be  used  when  working  in  the  field  with  dragons ,     as  longer  wands  can  easily  be  more  easily  damaged .  

                     charlie  was  aware  that  several  of  his  colleagues  at  the  sanctuary ,    coming  from  all  across  europe ,    would  have  wands  made  by  gregorovich ;     however ,    charlie  retained  too  much  of  a  proud  loyalty  to  ollivander  to  go  elsewhere .     so  upon  entrance  to  ollivander’s ,    charlie  explained  his  intentions  to  the  wandmaker ,   who  readily  presented  him  with  many  different  options .     the  majority  of  these  were  nine  or  ten  inches  with  either  holly  or  ash .      the  vast  majority  were  unicorn  hair  like  charlie’s   first ,     though  a  few  were  dragon  heartstring .    charlie  felt  not  glimmer  of   attachment  to  any  of  them ,    much  to  his  disappointment ,    yet  he  refused  to  second  guess  his  decision  to  purchase  a  new  wand .      ollivander ,   who  is  self - professed  to  see  wands  shorter  than  nine  inches  “ usually  select  those  in  whose  character  something  is  lacking,  ”    was  hesitant  to  break  out  the  more  stout  options  for  charlie .      his  other  inclinations  failing  him ,    however ,   he  conceded  to  doing  so .       after  several  unsuccessful  attempts  at  the   very  finest  eight  inch  wands  he  had  to  offer ,    ollivander  stumbled  upon  quite  a  pecular  thing  ——–  it  was  a  wand box  near  the  back  of  the  shelf  that  was  dust  covered  and  falling  apart .     on  a  hunch ,    he  passed  it  on  to  charlie .     and  potency  of  the  match  was  obvious  .

                     charlie’s  second  wand  is  to  these  specifications :      seven “ ,     alder  &  hippogriff tail .

REMEMBER KIDS !!   some very important relationships are PLATONIC.   some are maternal, paternal, friendships, siblingships.   they do not all have to revolve around romantic/sexual attraction.   please don’t ever think that i wouldn’t write with you if you didn’t want to bring a romantic/sexual ship to the table. I LOVE PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS.   THEY ARE UNDERRATED, UNDER EXPLORED, AND LOOKED PAST WAY TOO OFTEN.    THEY CAN BE THE MOST IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIP TO A CHARACTER.   PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

completely unrelated to charlie but i was rereading the beginning of gof bc i was missing playing amos diggory and i got to the part where he’s going off accusing winky of morsmordre and athur interjects with that “precious few wizards know how to do that spell” line and it made me think of slughorn in hbp:

ADDENDUM:     that   100%  the  reason  he  has  these  skills  in  the  first  place  is  that  he  look  up  the  role  of  fixing  up  his  and  bill’s  old  clothes   to  hand  down  to  their  younger  siblings .      molly  could  have  done that  with  magic in  a  second ,    but  especially  in  the  early  years  when  war  was  raging  on /  post  f + g ‘s   death ,    those  little  nuances  of  family  life  became  nuisances .      and  that’s  one  part  of  the  housekeeping  that  charlie  was  more  than  willing  to  take  on .

i  just  want  to  remind  everyone  that  it  is  literally  book  canon  that  charlie  know  how  to  darn  and  knit  and  so  you  can  take  your  stereotype  that  muscular  dude  who  works  with  giant  firebreathing  creatures  is  incapable  of  fine  and  delicate  motions  and  fucking  shOVE  IT

//     the  killers  sentence  starters —  readily  accepting !

                the  last  time  he  looked  at  bill  this  much ,     they  were  both  kids  and  bill  was  trying  to  teach  him  something ——  perfecting  his  rock  skipping  technique  or  his  gnome - throwing  arm  or  creaky  floorboard  avoidance  on  the  way  into  the  kitchen  for  a  late - night  snack .        charlie  grew  up  watching  bill ,     though  at  some  point ,    he  must’ve  looked  away ,      set  his  sights  for  different  types  of  horizons ,     and  trail - blazed  there  instead .     

                 now  here  he  is ,    looking  again ,     and  he’s  properly  staring ,    but  his  gaze  goes  past  the  horrid  scaring .    (  if  he  looks   too   long  there ,     he  can  feel  his  stomach  churn .      his   stomach’s  empty ;     he  emptied  it  on  the  grounds .     just  thinking  of  it ,    he  can  still  taste  bile .   )          right  now ,    he’s  fixated  on  bill’s  eyes ,    which  would  be  a  bit  weird  if  they  weren’t   closed .       SLEEP .  .  .     charlie  couldn’t  dream  of  it  himself  at  the  moment ,      but  he’s  been  on  the  mend  from  various  injuries  enough  to  know  keenly ,    even  without  pomfrey’s  gentle  reminder  from  across  the  room ,    that  rest  is  essential  for  the  ailing  body .     so  bill  rests  and  charlie  tries  to  count  his  eyelashes  from  a  fewfeet  away  ,      where  he  stands  like  a  mountain  or  a  boulder ,     weight  equally  distributed  between  both  his  feet ,    rigid  and  unmoving .

                  now  speaks  FLEUR ,    the  other  permanent  fixture  of  this  scene  .       her  words  come  apropos  of ,    seemingly ,     nothing ,    but  he  perceives  her  meaning  almost  immediately .       (     alongside  a  decent  hypothesis  as  to  their  cause .    it  hardly  takes  a  genius  to  sort  it .      high  stress ,     high  stakes ,   and  the  whole  family’s  been  around .  .  .   )        his  gaze  lowers ,    skipping  quickly  over  bill’s  marred  face   down  to  two  hands  intertwined .      charlie  hasn’t  been  keeping   minutely  notes ,     but  he  can’t  recall  seeing  bill’s  uncovered  by  fleur’s  since  the  moment  he  took  up  vigil  here .       in  the  silence  of  the  somber  wing ,     such  a  gesture  speaks  volumes .

                  charlie  was  neither   born  to  be  nor  forged  into  an  orator ,     so  he  isn’t    qualified  to  narrate  the  sight  ——-   he’d  butcher   its  significance  trying  to  be  poetic  about  it .     so   he  puts  it  simply ,   plainly  as  it’s  laid  in  his  mind .      ❝     that’s  just  it ,    though ,     isn’t  it ?    ❞      a  pause ,   head  shaking  slightly ,      though  he  knows  she  won’t  look  away  from  her  love  to  see  it .        ❝     i    DON’T    think  you’ll  buckle ,    fleur .  .   .       matter  of  fact ,    i  know  you  won’t .   ❞
