The angel appears to be engaging in categorical protection. The Hogwarts Express rolls today, but I haven’t sold a single wand to a muggle-raised student this year that wasn’t imbued with a Guardian Angel Hair, making it a Guardian Wand. Not a single wizard-raised student got one, only the muggle-raised- to include muggleborn, a couple half-bloods, and a single pure-blood.

As I am only required to inform the buyer of their wand’s status as a Guardian Wand when they ask, none of them are aware of the powerful magic acting to protect them.

But what is it protecting them from?

Author's Note

Some of you may have noticed when I never published chapter 8 in the first week of October. Admittedly, Hurricane Helene was a part of that (I happened to be parked in the fringes of the affected area when it passed, but no worries, I planned for it and was unharmed and unaffected myself), but it wasn't the whole thing.

No, far from it. I actually did inspect chapter 8 on Oct. 1st with the intent of publishing it, then... never did. Now I am.

Patreon, Discord.

And now that I am finally publishing chapter 8, I must also inform you that this story is being cancelled. I'm dumping chapters 8 through 13 (everything currently written) onto FimFiction for you to read, but... there will never be any more. And the reason? I'm pretty sure the three characters that Chapter 8 introduces are a part of it, especially the one that holds the only part of Chapter 13. Alongside the rapidly deteriorating quality of the characters as you progress through the various rewrite chains, because I was so focused on not repeating and on... well, Mary Sue (aka Helia Black this time around). I've got plans for a new story that should fix all that, but it'll be very slow to appear, and I'm not sure what it'll look like just yet. I know I'll be returning to the pony focus, though- if I want to focus on Harry, I'll write a straight HP-fic and post to AO3 rather than forcing it to have ponies in the background so I can post here.

Wow, my A/N is now almost three times as long (by word count) as the chapter! Better stop now.
