| Mar 7, 2017 at 18:38 | comment | added | user15742 | "We learn in the Half Blood Prince that every use of magic leaves some trail." I would say we learned that in Goblet of Fire, when they charm Harry's wand to reveal it's last spell. | |

| Mar 7, 2017 at 14:19 | comment | added | anotherdave | Follow up question — Why would Dumbledore resort to the inconvenience of walking all the way down to the kitchen to get hot chocolate, instead of the million magic ways he could have gotten it? :) | |

| Mar 7, 2017 at 12:21 | comment | added | TheLethalCarrot♦ | @Carcigenicate Get an Assassins Creed style Hidden Wand for greater effect... and for cool/awesome points. | |
| Mar 7, 2017 at 8:24 | comment | added | Demosthenes | @neverendingqs, McGonagall might have thought that Dumbledore has a wand. She also could have imagined the attacker thought the same when he/she noticed Dumbledore was coming. If the Headmaster actually had a wand with him is another thing. | |
| Mar 7, 2017 at 3:10 | comment | added | Wildcard | @neverendingqs, Dumbledore didn't do anything, though. Colin was already out of danger, actually; he was petrified, so he couldn't have been killed by the basilisk's gaze afterward. But McGonagall didn't know that. (And being there all night with an unknown menace around wouldn't sound very safe.) | |
| Mar 6, 2017 at 23:59 | comment | added | Carcigenicate | If I was a wizard, I'd carry my wand everywhere. I'd probably get a holster grafted to my arm. | |
| Mar 6, 2017 at 17:07 | comment | added | neverendingqs | Dumbledore probably had his wand with him. Otherwise, McGonagall's statement doesn't make as much sense (questionable how much could Dumbledore do without his wand?) | |
