We made a secrets box in crafts today. When you live in the non-magical world, it’s a good idea to keep your spells and special stuff secret.
You store magical stuff in your secrets box. When a non-magical person looks in, they see only ordinary stuff. Like sea shells or pretty rocks or birds feathers. Only you can see that the stuff is magical.
I put my new wand in my box. Inside the box, it looks like a pencil that needs sharpening. But I can still tell that it is my wand.
We only had time to build the basic box today. Tomorrow we will decorate them. I am going to paint mine purple and yellow.
I practiced using my new wand this afternoon. It works very differently than the first wand I made. So I guess I will have to keep both, at least for now. According to Miss Montgomery, it is not uncommon to have different wands for different purposes.
While my first wand isn’t very good, it works better for guiding and transporting stuff, like carrying the baton in the relay. I am still not sure what the new wand is good for yet. All I can tell is that it carries a lot more magic. I just can’t figure out how to use it.
