... Harry. You wanted to ask me a question you said? Have a seat." "Yes, thank you Professor" replied Harry as he walked over and sat in the chair in front of Dumbledore's desk. "I do have a question that popped into my mind earlier today. I am hoping you will know the answer or at least give me advice on where to go to find the answer." "Well, Harry my boy, I will endeavor to help you in any way I can. Let's hear the question." "As you may already know I visited Godric's Hollow over Spring Break." Dumbledore nodded indicating he already knew. "It dawned on me today that I am missing my parents' wands. We have a warded box at Potter Place that contains all the Potter wands that are recovered after a Potter dies, which is most of them. However, the wands my parents used are not in that box like they should be. I am hoping that someone picked them up for safe keeping otherwise I fear that Peter or the Death Eaters he let stay there, took them. Would you happen to know what happened to their wands?" "Oh, Harry, I fear I must beg your forgiveness. Hagrid picked up their wands and brought you and them to me. Your head was all bloody where your scar is located. I immediately called a special healer from St. Mungos to look at it since it was caused by a dark curse and then I put your parents' wands away in a safe place with the intention of giving them to you when you first came to Hogwarts. I somehow remembered to return your dad's cloak but for some reason the wands escaped my ...

Dumbledore went through a special door back into his personal quarters and came back out a few minutes later holding two wands. "Harry, my apologies again. These are your parents' wands. I realize how special they must be to you so I deeply regret my failing. Otherwise you would have had them for several years by now." Dumbledore handed them over to Harry who reverently took them and admired them carefully. "No problem Professor. I am just thankful they were kept safe." "The one in your right hand…" "…is my mum's. I know and this one" Harry said holding up the one in his left hand "is my dad's. I can tell." "How?" "I can feel the wand magic, Professor, and who they are aligned with." "That's incredible Harry. You may have a profession in your future making wands." "I don't think so Professor. I recognize that Mr. Ollivander is a powerful wizard but he also has an extreme affinity for wands. I, on the other hand, can simply detect and feel magic in any object or person, especially if I am in personal contact but that is not always necessary." "Thanks for sharing that with me Harry. That is indeed a rare gift that you should protect from too many people knowing." "Thank you Professor for the wands and for your advice. Most of my life is a secret it seems but it is for the best, at least for now." "Enjoy the rest of your evening Harry." "You too, Professor. At the first opportunity I will get these ...
