Chapter 3: Introduction to magic

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

Jason opened his eyes, "yes?" he asked "what is it?"

"Jason it's time to get up, breakfast is in half an hour, and classes start in about an hour" Liz said from the other side of the door. "are you getting up?"

"yes, wait for me in the living room, I'm going to take a quick shower."

Jason got out of bed, he opened his first closet and grabbed a red shirt, some jeans and a grey sweater, he walked into the bathroom. Took a quick shower, he put on his clothes.

When walking into his room, and looking at his bed he thought "If only I had mastered my powers or a spell to make my bed.." he sighed. "well whatever, I don't feel like making it."

He opened the door of his bedroom, and walked into the living room.

He yawned "Hi Liz"

"Good morning sunshine" Liz replied noticing how tired Jason looked. "Not a morning person then?" she asked

"oh hell no, I like to sleep, why do classes start this early on the day anyway?"

"well we get most afternoons off as personal time, to train and stuff like that."

"In that case I'm not complaining at all" Jason said smiling "ready for breakfast?"

"yeah, I'm starving, oh yeah Griselda came by when you were in the shower, she gave me our schedule, we have all our classes together and we start with "Information about transformation", that young professor gives that class, professor Toby I think his name was."

"Is that the guy that graduated last year?" Jason asked

"yeah, so you know about him?" Liz asked

"No, Griselda told me about him, when I arrived. Well anyway let's go have breakfast."


Jason and Liz went to the great hall, most tables were still empty.

"Let's sit over there" Liz said, pointing to a small table for 4.

Jason and Liz sat down.

"Euh, Liz, where is the food?"

"You mean: breakfast for two please!" Liz said while clapping her hands.

Breakfast appeared on the table. "oh that's convenient" Jason said " and amazing!"

When finished eating, a young man entered the hall.

"psst Jason, that's professor Toby, look he just entered" Liz whispered

Jason turned his head to look "that's a professor? Isn't he like.."

"Like what?" asked Liz

"well a little bit too young, too good looking and too charming to be a professor?"

"good looking and charming? Does that bother you?" she asked

"No, no not at all, it's ok. I think I can appreciate that" he said winking at Liz.

Liz started laughing a little bit too loud, professor Toby who was now sitting at the teachers table looked in their direction and smiled.

"oh my god, he's looking Jason, he's looking at us.." Liz whispered.

"Are you ready?" Jason asked

"ready? Ooh with breakfast? Yes I am. Do you already want to go to the class room?"

"Only to choose the best spot to sit!" Jason replied

"Let me guess, on the first row?" she asked him teasingly

"maybe" Jason said, he could feel that he was blushing.

Jason and Liz got up, and Jason noticed that professor Toby was watching their every move. "Liz he's still looking at us.." he said

"Jason, Jason, Jason" she replied "that's probably your imagination"

They left the hall.


"Where is our class anyway?" Jason asked

"Well it should be in classroom L18 that's classroom 18 in the left wing." Liz said

They found the classroom, and took their seats on the first row.

"we still have 10 minutes till class starts"

"Liz, Can you transform?" Jason asked

"Yes, I have been able to transform since I was 14" she replied

"I don't even know what my powers are" Jason said sadly

"I'm sure you will find out soon, I just know it Jason."

Other girls entered the classroom, and took seats.

Then professor Toby walked in saying

"good morning class, my name is professor Toby, but you can call me Toby. I don't need that professor thing, makes me feel old! Today we shall start with the lessons about charmix! Are there people who can transform?"

Almost everyone raised their hand, everyone except Jason.

"That sure is a lot" Toby said. "then he turned to Jason and said

"don't worry about it, it's no big deal, your from earth after all, and apparently you only heard that you have magic two days ago, but that's ok we can work on that." He winked at Jason

"oh no, I'm blushing again!" Jason thought

Toby continued to speak addressing the entire class

"well charmix, is the basic form of a fairy, there are however a level 1 charmix and a level 2 charmix. Level 1 is basic, level 2 can be earned by exceeding your power level, this allows you to summon a magical artifact from the depths of your soul when you are in charmix form. This artifact boosts your power, so that's what we are going to try to do this semester, master our charmix level 2.

Toby drew a few fairy wings on the black board, and some gem-like artifacts.

He talked about magic, and about flying. Jason just sat there and listened. It was noon really fast.

"well, that was that for today" Toby said, smiling "class dismissed, and Jason can I speak to you?"

"I will be in our apartment, cooking for us. See you later Jason" Liz said.

When everyone except Jason left Toby spoke to him

"you don't even know what your power source is right?" he asked Jason.

"my power source?"

"Your primary magic.."

"oh no, I don't know anything about my powers" Jason replied looking at the ground.

"want to find out?" Toby asked smiling

"yes, of course" Jason said lifting his head up.

"ok then, here drink this potion, and your inner power source should out itself."

Toby handed the potion to Jason, who drank it all in one sip.

"how do you feel Jason?"

"weird, its like there is a fire burning inside my soul" Jason replied

Jason became surrounded in a magical fiery aura, that disappeared as fast as it appeared.

"well, now we know that your primary magic is fire, which makes you a fire fairy, now I would like to give you extra courses after school hours, so that you can master your powers and learn to transform, would you like that?" Toby asked Jason.

"YES!" Jason yelled a little bit to excited "I would really like that professor, just say when."

"not professor, just Toby" Toby said winking at Jason again. " well, can we start tomorrow evening after diner? Just come to my chambers, it's the one at the end of the 5th floor in the right wing of the castle."

"ok, that's the apartment above mine" Jason said smiling "see you then profess.. Toby."

"see you then Jason."

Jason left the classroom and made his way to the apartment.

Once there he and Liz ate spaghetti and he explained what just happened to Liz.

"He has the apartment above ours? Wow, he wants to give you private lessons? Sounds like he has quiet the interest in you Jason" she said teasingly.
