I spent the final week before we took off to boarding school mainly packing. I spent most of my time with Harper. Adam had left for Hawaii a couple of days ago with some of his friends. Justin and me haven't been talking as often. I feel like an asshole for what I did to him. I tried to apologize several times but no words would come out.
I finally finished packing the last couple of things. We would take a portal to the Wizarding school tomorrow morning. I placed two decent sized trunks that the Wizard school provided in the corner. We could only fill up one trunk with clothes and other supplies we would need then robes and supplies in the other trunk. I checked the clock it was only 9:10 PM.
I decided to go see Justin. I couldn't stand this awkwardness between us anymore. I slowly walked across the hall hoping not to wake up my parents. I softly knocked on Justin's door. I heard a muffled come in. Justin was sitting on his bed reading a book. His two trunks were already packed.
"So are you excited?" I said taking a seat on the edge of his bed. He gave a quick nod and turned his attention back to his book.
"Justin, I'm sorry." I sighed."I didn't mean to, that wasn't me."
"Sorry it's hard for a brother to hear his baby sister already had sex, and already more than once."Justin said softly closing his book.
"Justin I'm 17, I can take care of myself by now. After this summer you'll be in college, and I won't be able to watch over you anymore."I said giving a small smile.
"I don't need to be looked after. I'm a man now."Justin said crossing his arms."And I'll only be a half an hour away."
"I know, but it won't be the same here without you."I said frowning. Justin moved slightly over and pulled me in a hug. We sat like that for awhile.
"Well I'm expecting you to come visit."Justin said pulling away from me but keeping his hands on my shoulders."And I'll come back on weekends when I don't have a lot of homework."
I laughed at this. Most people wouldn't want to come home on weekends because of the parties.
"You better get to bed we have a big day tomorrow." Justin said happily.
"Oh yeah what better way to spend most of your summer at a boarding school."I said sarcastically. I slowly got up and made my way towards the door.
"But you'll get to spend it with me." Justin said playfully.
"Can't wait." I said giving him a wink and walking out of his room.
"Alex hunny wake up." I heard a voice say and a pair of hands shaking me. My eyes slowly opened. I found my mom sitting on my bed.
"Mom five more minutes." I said turning around putting my face back in my pillow.
"Five minutes won't do much but only make you more tired."My mom said finally pulling me out of bed."You have an hour to be ready."
I grabbed some clothes I had layed out the night before and slowly made my way towards the bathroom. I turned on the shower so it would warmup and slowly got out of my pajamas. This would be my last shower that would be taken in private. At the wizard school there were two giant bathrooms, one for the girls and one for the boys. I hadn't felt very comfortable with this but Justin told me there were curtains around each shower head.
After I dried off and got ready I slowly dragged the first trunk downstairs. Justin saw me struggling and helped me with the second trunk. I gave him a small smile and we sat down on the couch.
"I'm almost done with this transporting device."My dad said. He was holding on to a small metal object.
"I'm going to miss you two so much!"Our mother said pulling us into a hug.
"Yeah I will too..so Justin do you mind if I borrow your skateboard and maybe your laptop..and maybe..."Max said listing on many of Justin's possessions.
"Max."My mother said."You have your own stuff."
"Aw but mom..."Max whined.
"No buts now say goodbye to your brother and sister."Mom said looking angry.
"Bye."Max said simply. He seemed to care more about the extra stuff he'll get than us leaving. My mother sighed and turned back to face us.
"Now I want you two to be careful. On weekends they allow you to roam in the nearby town. It is a wizard town so I don't want you getting too use to magic."My mother rambled on.
"I'm sure they'll be fine."My father said placing his arm around her shoulder."I think it's time you two get going."
"My babies!" Mom said pulling Justin and me into another hug and giving us each a kiss on the cheek."Be careful I love you two!"
"We love you too mom."Justin and me said at the same time rolling our eyes a little. It was her idea to let us go.
"Be careful."My father said kissing me on the forehead and giving Justin a hug."It can be dangerous out there in the wizard world. Make sure you watch over your sister."
"Don't worry."Justin said wrapping his arm around me.
"Hey I don't need to be watched over!"I said defensively.
"Okay now grab your stuff, I'll open the portal."My dad said grabbing the metal object. It was shaped like a cube. My dad tapped the portal a couple of times and it opened.
"Cool!"Justin said in awe."How did you do that?"
"That you'll find out at Wizard Tech, now get going. All you need to do is walk through."Dad said pointing towards the portal. Justin walked through first and I carefully followed him. I heard my parents say goodbye as we walked into the portal.
Before I knew it I was spinning around. I began to scream, I didn't know where I was going to fall. A few seconds later I landed on the ground with a loud thud. My trunks were scattered around me. Justin was already up looking around. We appeared to be in a dungeon.
"We should have asked dad were this portal led too. Do you think we're at school?"Justin asked still eyeing the dungeon. There were three doors in the dungeon along with many items. Cauldron's, broomsticks,old shelves, books, pictures and many other things. It seemed like a basement.
"No idea, I think we're in the right place though. Most basements don't have cauldrons lying around." I said while wiping the dust from my pants.
"Good point."Justin said. The middle door opened and a lady with robes and a witches hat appeared.
"Hello welcome to Wizard Tech. I'm Madam Bronzie." The lady said. Justin and I let out a small laugh. Luckily she didn't hear."Here let me take these for you." She mumbled something to herself and our trunks disappeared."Don't worry they were transported directly to your rooms, now right this way."
We followed her out of the door and up two flights of stairs. The walls had many pictures and cob webs. Next we found ourselves in a corridor with many doors, and with another flight of stairs. There was a huge door a little bit down the corridor.
"This is the first floor. The main door down there is the main entrance and exit to the school. Over there.." She said leading us to a median sized door."Is the eating room. Breakfast will be served at 7:30, lunch at 12:00, and supper at 5:30." She didn't show us the dining hall but pointed out other rooms. One was the nursing room and a game room. She didn't let us inside. Then she showed us were all our classes were. Justin was in two of my 6 classes. I was taking Wizard History, Flying Lessons,Astronomy,Spell Casting,Magical Creatures, and How to Brew. Justin was in my flying class and Magical creatures class. The rest were all advance classes.
"Since you two signed up late, I have you sharing a room. I don't think that will be a problem because you are brother and sister. Also robes should be worn during school hours which is between 7:30 and 5:00." She said leading us to the 5th floor. She gave each of us a key.
"No that's fine." Justin said uneasily.
"Yeah no big." I said awkwardly.
"You will each have a separate bed don't worry." She said."Curfew is at 11:00 PM. Any questions feel free to ask." At this she walked away.
Our room was farley big. I took the side where the bed was against the wall with a window behind it. In the corner there was a desk and there was a dresser next to my bed. On Justin's side there was a bed with a window on the side and a desk next to the bed. There was a dresser in the corner. Then there was a fireplace and a couch in the middle of the room. A chandelierwas hanging on the ceiling. There were also two small areas with curtains for us to change. The wall paper was red and the floor was wood.
"This is nice."Justin said laying down on his bed.
"Yeah, well I'm going to take a nap." I said yawning.
"Alright I think I'm going to walk around."Justin said getting up. At this he left gently shutting the door behind him.
I sighed, some summer this was.
Just to make some things clear, there is a one year age difference between Justin and Alex. They will be spending most of June and all of July at school. I got the name Wizard tech from the show, but I'm not sure what the school looked like or the uniforms. So I'll just describe both the way I want them to be. I tried not to use classes from Harry Potter but it was hard not to, Magical creatures and Astronomy is basically from Harry Potter. I'm trying not to take names from Harry Potter and use them in this story, but I do picture the castle somewhat like Hogwarts. Anyways Jalex will be coming up next chapter, I just needed this chapter to get things settled.
Reviews would be nice, if you haven't left one yet it'd be appreciated if you did. A lot of people added me on story alert. Also I want to make this story longish so leave me any ideas in reviews. And don't worry more Jalex will be up next.
