Nicholas relaxed back in his chair as Christabelle came out with a smart retort to Mathew’s ignorance. He smiled however and motioned for Christabelle to calm down. Returning his attention to Mathew he spoke calmly, as if nothing out of the ordinary was being discussed “I don’t want it to use Mathew, please use your brains, your going to need them if you want to advance in this organisation.” Nicholas shrugged then continued “I want it so I can destroy it. I’ve no use for a mythological wand that has no power other than that which people believe it has. Many wizards have had and lost the elder wand, its power is socially constructed, otherwise how would the wizards who had it in their possesion lose it? Best just to destroy it so no-one can have it.” Again, Nicholas replied calmly to Matt’s question, again it seemed like he did not care about the seriousness of what would happen should he fail “Well, if you fail, you will probably be dead. So no need to worry further on that issue hmmm?” His right hand once again moved to his chin as he massaged his clean shaven face, smiling happily at how proceedings were going.
