1 The Elder Wand

Harry, Ron and Hermione were all standing in the headmasters office looking at the potrait of possibly the greatest wizard of all time DUMBLEDORE.

Dumbledore was looking at the trio as he congratulated them for their victory and was visibly excited, a bit more than necessary for someone who has passed on his time and will, as he eyed the elder Wand currently on the desk.

Harry and Hermione were discussing their future plans for the elder Wand with the past headmasters. Hermione was insistent that we do not play around with something that has surpassed the understanding of magic and power of the wizarding community as a whole.

Headmaster Black was looking at the wand and said solemnly that this piece of death is best kept locked and hidden rather than broken or destroyed as magic always has a rule of equality.

He reminded us that the basic principles state that nothing can be created from nothing and the elder Wand is one such object. It has always been passed down that the hallows were created by death on the spot for the wishes of the brothers. Such powerful objects made within such a short moment is not something accomplishable by humans, at least not by any known human.

Ron was the only one who was not paying any attention to the conversation as he was fully engrossed looking around the room trying to find any other creation by Dumbledore that can help provide assistance the same way the one that he left to him in his will.

Hermione and the headmasters were now looking into possible places where the elder Wand can be stored if it was not safe to tweak with such a powerful magical object. A very old looking headmaster suggested a very plausible and easy to access but hard to break place, GRINGOTTS.

Gringotts as known to all is one of the safest places in all of the wizarding world and thus will do a good job to provide a piece of calm for the minds of everyone in the room if the wand was kept and forgotten with time from the wizarding world.

Phineas Black was quick to suggest the black family vault be choosen as the black line visibly perished from the world after the death of sirius. It did seem as convenient as even if no Black was currently alive sirius has named Harry as his successor so he did have access but similarly had no motivation and intention to continue the black line by taking its name and creating an additional family. With Harry having no need to carry the name the vault will be forever be locked and forgotten as no one could ever take the mantle of black heir after Harry.

Black family vault was by no means an ordinary vault nor was it one without one of the best protections as proven by the fact that even Bellatrix, a person who was an ex black family member, had her vault protected by a dragon. Not to mention anything about how Black were one of the most ancient and powerful magical family in the world and not just the British wizarding world. Such vaults required a legible heir as well as strong blood resonance for access and thus not something even powerful magic could penetrate.

Hermione herself suggested a very different route which would make sure that forget about others even they wouldn't know how to get it back if we ever searched ourselves, a method which was used by Harry himself to dispose of one of its counterpart hallow, discarding it in the forest at a random by throwing it away with a random charm at the best of their abilities.

Ron who heard only the last few lines of Hermione was angry that we were planning on discarding the world's most powerful wand as if it was the most disgusting piece of maggoty haggis, something served at the party of nearly headless Nick, that was being forced upon them. He strongly criticized the stupidity of our ideas of both destroying or discarding the wand as it would be a sin against humanity as a whole to not grab power that was won after victory over the biggest evil ever witnessed.

Knowing that it was not possible to knock sense into him Harry gave up and left it to Hermione who was the only that could make him bite his own tounge with nothing more than one sentence. She asked him to give a better option and input something that he could defend when cross questioned. As was expected he went silent and just as Hermione was about to begin her conversation with the headmasters Ron unexpectedly spoke again.

Ron - " Hermione, you once told me that the elder Wand was the least powerful but the most dangerous of the hollows. When I asked you to make some sense you explained that other two did have power of death but the elder Wand did not."

Hermione - " yes, so?"

Ron - " seriously sometimes I do not understand how you are so smart and dumb at the same time?

Hermione - "you better get on point or you will be the one on the end of a very geniusly created hex."

Ron - "So, the wand has essentially been creating trouble and leaving a trail because every owner knew that he had the elder Wand in his hands and so became self conceited. But what if one never knew, this will take away the wands chaos from it, and more importantly every owner was in pursuit of some kind of power but what if we hand the wand to a average wizard who has settled down and has no reason to pursue anything other than a peaceful life."

Everyone was greatly suprised that while they were racking their brains for complicated scenarios such a simple but effective method was thought by Ron while not actually caring for the problem itself.

While everyone was trying to come up with ways to implement Ron's genius plan no one noticed that Dumbledore in his potrait was slightly panicked as he knew he could change others view with talks of good and such but Ron's plan was truly a greater good and thus a botch in his plans.

While the rest were amid discussions they heard a sudden loud, intentional ,cough and turned to look at Dumbledore. In a very clear voice he explained the rest that it does not matter how they try to mask the presence of the elder Wand it WILL rise back up and the blood will flow once again and the only possible way to stop this cycle was its distruction.

The moment he weighed in every other idea that was floating around the room was destroyed. This was the power he has created over the years, the power where every single idea of his is treated as the best way in a situation. It was not hard to imagine how one person accomplished and hold so many titles when everyone viewed him as the light of hope to everything dark.

As it was finally decided that destruction was the way ahead Harry moved to the desk took out his broken wand and cast the possibly last spell of the elder wand and mended his broken wand.

Then came the moment of the truth, the whole room was intently looking at Harry as he held the elder wand with both hands, even Ron was looking with rather sad eyes, and just like that in a snap Harry applied slight pressure and broke the wand in clean two.

Just as the wand broke something happened that no one would have ever imagined even in their wild dreams, from the blinding light emerged a slightly young looking wise wizard with the distinguished aura of everything pure, DUMBLEDORE.
