Miranda is looking at wands. She wants two, but she isn't going to spring that on Ollivander until she's found a first one. This fir is not right. Neither is this birch, that stubby little rosewood, or this ebony. Hmm.
Aha!
This pine wand (phoenix feather core) likes her just fine. Sparks! Miranda pays seven Galleons for it and sticks it in her hair.
"Excuse me," she says, when Ollivander turns away.
"Mm?"
"May I have a look at some more wands?"
"Something wrong with the one you've got, Miss Swan?"
"No, sir, but please, I want a second one, in case this one gets lost or damaged."
"Planning on that, are you?"
"No one plans to lose things, I just -"
"Planning to mistreat the wand? Leave it lying around? Forget about it someplace, carelessly handle it -?"

"So, um... what do you do? When you're not kicking Prefects in the face."

"That's like... one of the too many kinds of Muggle Quidditch? As there is 'ball' in the name."

"It's just... what's the point of a game where one player's half the game? It's like if someone took a real sport and said, 'how can I make this stupid?'"

"Maybe you'd like informal pickup Quidditch better. If there's only six players a side it's usually the Seeker gets left out."

"Now, see, that could be fun. And I like the flying rocks. There's a sad lack of flying rocks in the nonmagical sporting world."

"By the way, on the subject of weird shit that wizards do, are you all raging homophobes or something? Because I get a kind of medieval vibe off of the whole culture, and I like the idea of filling out my Persecution Bingo card."

"Widdershins folk. Do we hate them. Being very widdershins myself, I'm pretty confident the answer is no."

"Oh. Yeah, everybody I know is fine with widdershins people. Are Muggles not?"

Xan rolls his eyes. "Widdershins. I'm in Munchkinland. But no, no they aren't, some are better about it but most are worse. I guess that's one less thing I'll be defending my life against."

"My mum says Muggles are prejudiced about lots of stuff. She went into Muggle Edinburgh once and got called some very rude things."

"Yeah, it's kind of refreshing to only have one set of assholes to deal with. Even if yours are more murderous."

"Ah, yes. Because there are no more blood purists any more. Racism has vanished. Finally, we are free forever. God save the Queen."
