Some social situations feel like no effort, and some drain you really quickly. It’s all a matter of being aware of each and balancing your energy!

Edward Poynter, Mary Constance Wyndham (Lady Elcho), 1886

Mary leans back on a chaise, gazing into the distance. She is surrounded by aestheticism's accoutrements: a japonaiserie screen; blue and white ceramic vases. Her hair is fashionably shirred; her waist, in her plain mustard-yellow gown, tiny (the envy of her friends, she said proudly). One hand loosely holds a sketchbook, another book lies unopened before her. She looks deep in thought: a beauty with greater things on her mind. [A]ged twenty-four, a mother of two, [...] just a few months after the death of her beloved friend Laura Tennant and while her relationship with Arthur Balfour was growing ever deeper. Mary's family later criticized this portrait as far too solemn. Yet perhaps in Mary's forlorn expression Poynter had seen some of the turmoil in which Mary found herself at this stage of her life. — Claudia Renton, Those Wild Wyndhams

Wands - headcanon

Wands are not made of the same materials around the world. I mean, there must be some place on Earth where there are no unicorns or no dragons. Maybe there are other magical creatures from which wands take their core.

Or maybe there are some places where wands exist in different sizes (like small wands or magic staffs) and where they are made in different ways.

That’s my headcanon:

In Italy there are three sizes of wands: regular ones, small ones (girls in the 50s loved them, and they are easier to hide) and staffs/sticks. It’s still popular near in the mountain to have magic staffs.

The cores are very different from region to region. In all of Italy hair of Gatto Mammone is common like the unicorn hair. In Sardinia, since they have a peculiar relation with ghosts and violent spirits, wand cores are made of iron, which is lethal against this type of creatures.

Certain wizards and witches around the world prefer to have their magic power conveyed through a magic gem rather than through a traditional core, this is why their wand have small fissures carved into their wands/staffs to house the magic gem. 

In Russia they use feather of Prophetic birds (since there are a lot in those regions) and in the Balkan region they have a strange variety of wands with raven’s feather cores. 

In Ireland sometimes wands do not need a core since they are made with wood coming from sacred trees or trees inhabited by dryads.
