But me magic was te big fer me an' me Da' insisted tha' I get me wand befer goin' back te Eire."
"Once it was in me 'and, my life fere'er changed," he said with a happy sigh. "I realized tha' I 'ad te complete me trainin' in order te be the bes' I could fer me sister. Te be able te properly teach 'er thin's an' gi'e 'er someone te loo' up te."
