Year Five: Letters and Ministerial Laws
"Wait."
Alex prodded the letter with her tinfoil wand. "If I steal his wand, and use magic with that, would that be on his Trace or mine?" She thought for a moment. "No, the Trace is all-encompassing… Would it be on his criminal record, then, rather than mine?"
The letter seemed to puff up in confusion, silently hovering between the two. "If you hadn't told me of your plans, it would still be on his... The letter of the law never mentioned this…"
Alex grinned. "Oh, good. I'll just obliviate this letter and move on. Harry, dear, could you give me your wand?"
As the letter let out faint protests, Harry stared her down incredulously. "No."
She shrugged. "Worth a try. Hey, can you convince Dobby to steal Lucius' wand for me?"
Harry sighed. "No, Alex."
"Could you convince him to steal it for you? I mean, you do need a wand, you know, being expelled and all…"
"…No."
"You hesitated~~"
"No."
"Killjoy."
