A/N

Here's more and thank you to those who reviewed but don't know if I should write more until after I see the movie but I like where it's going as I'm happy that Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer made this as I'm a huge fantasy lover.

In this chapter, Dave asks Balthazar to help him connect with Lana as he doesn't know what teens are like.

I hope people like.


Lana then woke up as sunlight poured through the window of the guest room in Dave's house but remembered what had happened last night but had thought it was a really cool dream but had a feeling it wasn't especially as she heard soft growling in her room.

The dragon hatchling was flying around blowing smoke rings but Lana smiled as she knew it wasn't a dream but wondered where her Uncle Dave was but heard footsteps as she saw a beauitful woman with black hair enter the room but smiled at the young girl.

"Hey there I'm Veronica.

I'm one of Balthazar's friends.

We were talking about you.

You have powerful magic like Yan Sid.

We can talk about it with them." she told her.

Lana nodded as she wasn't sure if she could trust Veronica because she thought she was helping the dark sorceror that had shown up at dinner but she followed her downstairs to the kitchen and found both her uncle and Balthazar sitting at the table drinking coffee.

"Morning Lana.

You were asleep for a long time." Dave said.

Lana nodded as she didn't show him eye contact.

Balthazar understood as she was trusting him more because they had things in common and Dave understood but had an idea.

"Maybe you should find out about her for me.

So I can bond with her." he said.

"I'll try but teenage humans are hard to crack." he replied.

"Thanks.

I'm sure she'll come out of her shell.

Probably in the curio shop." Dave said.

Balthazar liked that idea.

It was better than having to go to the mall.

"Where is she?" he asked Dave.

"Getting dressed in her room.

Playing with Growly too." Veronica said.

Balthazar smiled at that.

He knew that was the name Lana had given the dragon hatchling as she'd developed an attachment to it since finding it yesterday in the stock room of the curio shop as Dave was making breakfast but using his magic.

He practised magic with Balthazar and sometimes on his own.

Veronica smiled but went to check on her.

She hoped the girl was okay.


Lana was in the guest room looking in the mirror as she was curious about her magic knowing that it was powerful but didn't know how it worked as she had an idea but remembered overhearing Balthazar tell her uncle that focus was part of casting magic as she was in her pyjamas as she wondered if she could magic up her own clothes as she liked the idea.

Her eyes then glowed as she was thinking as magic surrounded her but when it vanished, she was wearing jeans with a denim jacket and a t-shirt and high top sneakers.

"Wow that's cool!

I knew I could do it." she told herself.

"Od course you could do it.

You're as powerful as Yan Sid and Batlthazar.

I know you will be a great sorceroress." she heard Veronica say.

Lana jumped as she saw her there.

"What're you doing here?" she asked.

"I came to check on you." she said.

Lana then saw Growly jump on the bed.

They giggled as they decided to go downstairs to eat.

Balthazar was stunned hearing from Veronica that Lana had used magic to create new clothes.

He knew that she had amazing focus.

But Veronica saw he was nervous.

"What's wrong?" she asked him.

"Dave wants me to find out about Lana for him.

So that he can bond with her easily.

I'm a little nervous." he told her.

"That's funny.

The great and powerful Balthazar Blake trying to figure out Lana.

Maybe I should help." she said.

"Yes help me." he answered.

She smiled as she watched Lana eat.

Dave was going to teach classes all day.

But he was worried that Maxim would attack.

Balthazar understood his apprentice's worry especially with Lana but he had something in the curio shop that would keep Lana safe and help her with her magic control as he had a feeling her magic was powerful.

Lana then got into the car after grabbing her handbag.

Balthazar then smiled as he along with Veronica and Dave into the car.

She had no idea that Morgana was watching them.

She knew that Balthazar wouldn't let her get to Lana.

But she had a plan sending Maxim...


But ;ana was happy as the car stopped at the curio shop as she along with Balthazar and Veronica as they entered but the girl waqs excited but both sorcerors were amazed that her magical energy was increasing being around magical relics but Balthazar then brought out a small box with a dragon etched on it as it contained a necklace that had an enchantment on it that would protect her as well as help her magic at bay around others.

"I'll be in the stock room.

You should help Veronica." Balthazar said to her.

Lana nodded in awe as she was helping but Veronica noticed the girl was quiet.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

"Yeah just sad." she told her.

"What do you mean?" Veronica asked.

"Because I'm an nobody in my class.

The other popular kids in my class and others tease me because I like all this stuff.

I'm not that confident and boys avoid me.

But having magic is awesome." she told her.

Veronica smiled hearing Lana say that as she knew that girls her age were trying to fit in.

"I think you're amazing just the way you are.

You should be yourself.

But what about your parents?" she asked.

Lana was nervous hearing this.

"My father is a teacher at an elementary school.

My mother is an artist and is always busy.

But they're always fighting.

I wish I could use magic to fix that.

But I like being with Uncle Dave.

He at least cares about me." she told her.

Veronica understood as she saw Balthazar join them.

"I'm amazed that she is different from girls her age.

You should give her this." he said handing her the box.

She nodded as she knew that his intentions were good but knew that either her or Dave should make Lana their apprentice as Veronica loved the idea but would talk about it with Dave.

She then found Lana reading a spell book.

She smiled knowing the young girl was eager to learn.

"I have something for you." she told her.

"Really?

Cool." she said.

Veronica smiled as she gave her the box.

The young girl opened it pulling out a locket.

It was in the shape of a griffin.

"Thanks Veronica.

I like it." she told her.

Veronica smiled knowing that a bond was growing with her and Lana.

The girl considered her and Balthazar her friends.

But they were also using magic but having fun.

Lana was amazed.

"You think I could do that stuff?" she asked.

"Yes in time.

Maybe either your uncle or I will teach you as our apprentice.

We should go get some lunch." Veronica told her.

But Balthazar had an errand to do but was secretly going to NYU to train with Dave.

She smiled as it was just her and Lana.

Maxim smiled as he followed them...
