Ok in this series it will jump about a bit from story to story, so at the start I will tell you which book the chapter is set in and many scenes will just happen in that year.
Don't announce wands could be more sonic
The Philosopher's Stone
"Aren't wands amazing," Hermione said to a bored River Song, "you can use them to get stuff to you,"
"isn't that what Oods are for?" River asked,
"what's an Ood?" Hermione asked.
"Wands are cool and all that but they could be better," River told her,
"how could a wand be better?" Hermione asked,
"well it does all the stuff that you can do with a sonic screwdriver," River said, "with a wand you can open doors and cut rope and animate inanimate objects. But you can do all of those things with a sonic screwdriver. Also sonics can be used to rewrite muggle software, they are only dangerous if you are clever and wands, they let stupid little 11 year olds wave them, which could easily kill them," River Song ranted, clearly on a role.
"River you are 11," Hermione reminded her,
"no I'm not," River replied thinking back to all those years as Melody and Mels.
"You are basically saying wands are rubbish and that everyone in this year is stupid," Hermione said,
"I'm not saying everyone in this year is stupid, you are not, neither is Harry. It is debatable about Ron but I'm not saying wands are rubbish. I'm just saying that wands could be more sonic," River said,
"50 points from Gryffindor," Snape said, "for bad mouthing wizards."
River Song sighed, but it is true. Wands could be more sonic.
