Chapter 2

A/N: Sorry the length of the story is still so short. It is my first story after all. And I think 1000+ words is actually quite okay for a chapter. I'll try and make the next chapter longer. For the record, this chapter has 1,114 words.


Alex exchange glances with the magical creatures around her. She was walking on a cloud surrounded by magical creatures thought to be just a myth like fairies, elfs and lapricons. She was surrounded by creatures so different from what she thought she was (human), that she could not help but did not even bother to think about figuring out where she is as Justin keeps interrupting Jerry when he's about to answer Alex's questions. The other creatures on the other hand kept staring at Alex as they found Alex to be an intruder because she was wearing a shirt saying 'I Am Human'. Humans are strictly barred from where she is now. The Wizard World. The stares from the other magical creatures had changed from curiosity to threatening. Jerry managed to notice the fear in Alex's eyes from the other magical creatures' stares and when he saw the shirt she was wearing and the looks on the crowd's face, he quickly caught up and announced "She is one of us. She's a wizard too." At this time, Justin finally observed what Alex was wearing for the first time in his life.

"You just had to be wearing this shirt today, didn't you."

Even though Alex was shocked, he was not going to miss out on this chance to insult Alex after all she's done to him. Alex had no idea how to actually respond to being a wizard all of a sudden. She just stood there, not moving for an entire minute, making people who knew her worried, because she is the type of girl who just can't sit still for 10 seconds and if she over shots 30 seconds of not moving, there's something wrong with her. After about a minute of total stillness and absolute silence from Alex, she finally spoke "What did you just call me?"

"He just called you a wizard. Genius. What? Do you have amnesia or something?"

Alex was in no mood to fight with Justin right now. She had never been so shocked about anything before in her life. Not even when she was suddenly in middle school, even though it was somehow a miracle of how she managed to pass elementary school. She had been thinking for the past 12 years of her life that she was a normal human, which she actually was, but she still had not gotten her facts right, so she thought she was a wizard since birth.

"So the stick next to this really thick book in the... the freezer, that was like magical stick or something?"

"You touched my wand?"

Now Justin was getting mad. Alex was the troublemaker in the family and if Alex had actually broken Justin's wand, he'd be so mad. It would take a few weeks for a new wand to come and he would only be able to do hand magic during that period of time. Plus he would never trust Alex with any of his things. Much less his most prized possession, his wand.

"Wand? You mean like wands for casting spells and stuff?"

"Yes. Now hurry up we're going to be late."

Alex was shocked, but she could not go 5 minutes without criticizing him.

"Who are you? Mum?"

Alex didn't actually know what they were going to be late for, but she really did not bother right now, because whenever she asked something, her answer would be 'Wait. You'll see.' And anyways, she was thinking of a better word than 'poof'. If she was going to poof around a lot in the future, she would at least want a word that would not make people think she's some kind of fairy with a mental problem.


After walking for about 5 minutes and talking with Justin and Jerry, things had become clearer to Alex, and she returned to being her lazy self.

"How long more do we have to walk? Justin, you have your wand. Could you just flash us in to where ever we're going?"

Within 5 minutes, Alex had decided that she would use 'flash' instead of 'poof' cause well, 'flash' sounds way better than 'poof'.

"The wizard council headquarters. We're going to register your wizard license and get your wand."

"I'm going to get my wand today? That's awesome. But Justin. Seriously. We've been walking for like... like 10 minutes."

"Fine."

Justin takes his wand out from his back pocket and waves it.


Alex was now in a room filled with different magical creatures. Even more complicated magical creatures than those outside on the main road. Here, there were goblins and dwarfs, and creatures who look like humans, but were actually wizards, like the Russo family. One of those human-looking wizard got her to smile at him, which Alex obviously did not as she usually never does for cameras, and he waved his wand. The picture-taking was complete and only the details were left for the wizard council to handle. They then got Alex and her family to go into the wand shop nearby to pick out her wand while the wizard council finished processing Alex's wizard license. Wizards who have just gotten their wizard license or had been instructed by the wizard council to pick out their wands while they were busy with something got to bring home their wands immediately. At other times if a wizard damages their wand, a new wand would take a few weeks to come, about the duration mortals would have to wait for something they ordered online to arrive.

"I'll take the red one."

Alex's favorite color at that time was red, and she felt that red would be a color she would be comfortable with for the rest of her life. She did not have anywhere to place her wand. She obviously did not want to hold it on hand for long and she did not bring a bag. Her pockets were too small but even if there was a spell to make it bigger, she would not want to look all sloppy and everything, so she just placed it in her boots. It was a little uncomfortable at first, but by the time they had walked back to the wizard council headquarters, Alex had gotten used to it.


"Have fun being a wizard."

That's what wizard council officers always said to wizards who had just gotten their wizard license before they went back to their own world. Alex happily responded "Oh I will. This may be the best thing that has ever happened to me." But to Jerry, he just hoped that Alex would not cause an apocalypse to happen with her newly discovered powers.
