Magic Lessons

Alex plopped down on the arm rest of the sofa in the Lair. Another day of Magic Lessons. Alex loved Magic, but Lessons were kind of boring…pending on the spell. She did enjoy the Freeze Frame spell lesson. And Mcreary Timeweary. Oh, and Edgebonoutoosis. But aside from that Magic Lessons were a bore.

"Oh, but Justin loves Lessons," Alex thought aloud. "Then again, he'll love garbage if it'll impress Dad."

"I HEARD THAT!" Justin popped up from behind the couch. "And it doesn't matter. Cause Dad doesn't decide who keeps their powers. Not like it matters. We all know it'll be me!"

"You mean me?" Max walked in and plopped down next to me.

Justin rolled his eyes as he sat down in the chair next to the sofa. "This is coming from the guy who thinks 'barren' means 'sandy'."

"It does though…. Doesn't it?"

Alex looked at Justin saying simply, WOW.

Jerry Russo, the kids' father, walked in soon after. He was their Wizard Trainer. Jerry used to be a Wizard due to the fact that only one Wizard from every family gets to keep his/her powers. Jerry did win the competition, but keeping his powers meant not being able to marry Theresa Russo. That's why he gave his powers up to fun-loving and ever-popular Kelbo.

"Okay guys," Jerry began, picking up his pointer and walking over to the miniature chalkboard. "Today's lesson—" Jerry whipped the cloth draped over the board off "—is the Literarium Terrarium Spell."

"Ugh, I heard literary," Alex moaned. "That must mean books!"

Justin squealed.

"Of course…." Alex mumbled.

"Yes, but this isn't reading, Alex," Jerry explained further. "It's popping in to books."

"Better…" Alex responded.

"Wait…so I can meet Harry Potter?!" Max cried gleefully.

"I guess you could say that…." Jerry said. "Here, let's try it."

Jerry pulled a copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows off the shelf, opened it to a random page, and said, "Okay, everyone join hands. Alex say, 'Literarium Terrarium'."

"Okay… Literarium Terrarium!"

A flash of light…

…and the Lair was empty.

There was another flash of light, and three Wizards along with the former Wizard found themselves in a large spacious yard. There were many people dressed in fancy garments. It was a wedding party.

Many of the guests had red hair, too.

"Oh my gosh! We're at Bill and Fleur's wedding!" Justin cried.

"Who?" Alex asked.

"We're in Chapter Eight of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! This is the part where they have to disguise Harry as a Weasley cousin and go through Bill and Fleur's wedding as if nothing bad is happening," Justin described. "See that chubby red head over there? That's Harry in disguise! And he's talking to someone about Dumbledore. And right about now…."

A silver lynx appeared. "The Ministry has fallen. Srimgeour is dead. They are coming." (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, pg. 159)

"Um…Dad…we had better leave," Justin suggested.

"Why?" Alex, Max, and Jerry asked in unison.

"Because the party is going to go into chaos like now!"

They all joined hands. "Literarium Terrarium!"

A flash of light…

…and they left the boy Wizard with the weird scar to have his own adventure….

Little did they know that their own adventure was awaiting them….
