Shortly after Lily's murder, Severus began to notice an increasing feeling of unease whenever he used his wand, like it was distancing itself from him. Foolish though he felt ascribing speech to a tool, he could almost imagine it saying, "I don't know who you are anymore."
Put like that, it had a point; Severus himself wasn't certain the person who had wielded it until now was the one whose muted reflection gazed back at him from the shop's window.
Severus steeled himself and entered. He would begin again with a wand that had never done a Death Eater's work.
