I do not own Harry Potter or Twilight
Chapter 22
Snap!
Harry's entire body froze when the distinct sound of wood snapping reached her ears.
"No, it couldn't be," she murmured, the grip she had on her wrench tightening.
She rose from her crouch, turning sharply in Emmett's direction.
Her eyes narrowed at the sight of her 11" long holly wand within the large male's grasp.
That is – her now broken 11" long holly wand.
"Sorry. I, uh, broke your stick," Emmett gave a small uncertain smile.
Harry grit her teeth and it took an extraordinary amount of self-control for her to not bash his head with the wrench she held with an iron-grip.
"That was no ordinary stick," she seethed, her hackles rising as she stalked towards the teenager.
It was a constant companion during her years at Hogwarts and as an Unspeakable, inside and outside of classes, inside and outside of battles, wars. As she had grown as a witch, so had her wand become tailored to her magic and her persona.
Harry snatched the wand pieces from the dark haired male and felt some amount of satisfaction when he blanched at her unwavering glare.
"It was a family heirloom."
Only even more so precious.
The wand that warmed every time her fingers wrapped around it, was unresponsive.
It felt cold, dead.
One of the only live connections that she had to her world was gone.
Harry stared down at the broken pieces in her hand and her anger gave way to a disheartened sort acceptance.
A heavy silence settled. It was broken when Emmett spoke up, sounding contrite, but more awkward than anything else.
"Hey, Harry," He stood beside Rosalie, who looked two parts annoyed at Emmett, yet ready to jump to his defence should Harry lash out at him verbally.
Oh and did she want to lash out at him – with a few hexes.
Harry held up a hand to stop him as she rubbed the bridge of her nose, momentarily displacing her glasses.
"It was my fault," she droned, "I should have been more careful."
It was a bitter pill to swallow, but it was true enough.
"You two should head home," she spoke as she finally placed the wrench down but kept the wand in her hands.
She turned to Emmett. "You can pick up, your Jeep the day after tomorrow. If that's alright?"
Emmett stared at her bewilderingly.
"You're not going to rig it to explode or something are you?"
Rosalie elbowed him in his stomach.
"I assure you that I will do no such thing," Harry began, "But I think it fair to warn you that I am a firm believer in humiliation being the best form of retribution."
Despite the situation, Emmett gave an animated smile, welcoming the challenge. Rosalie only rolled her eyes, before she proceeded to drag her companion to her car.
Harry watched the car disappear down her driveway before she turned around with a deep sigh.

"I need to go for a run."

A/N: So yeah, Emmett broke Harry's wand. I actually don't like this drabble chapter all that much, but it sets the stage for certain events that I have planned. There's a surprise in the next drabble chapter, look forward to it.
This drabble would have been out a lot sooner but I got caught up watching the Kids Next Door series finale. That was an awesome cartoon and that episode brought tears to my eyes. The nostalgia...gosh.
But I digress. This is update 2 of 3.
