Chapter III
"The Missing Wand"
Winter woke up from a weird dream, which later on vanished in his mind after washing his face. He looked up at the Chronometer spinning with the Planets, Stars and Numbers around. It's Sunday and Quarter to 8, obviously their out for work again. Winter went to Paul's room. Paul was still sleeping, he went downstairs and remembered that he needs to help Shphintrrix Buy his school requirements. He went to Sphintrrix's room but he's not there, he went to up to the 3rd floor of their house and happened to pass on the mini-library, on the top of the table he saw two small rectangular boxes, one was opened up and the wand inside was poking out while the other was empty and the ribbon was on the floor right beside the broken glass lamp, the glass window facing the north was also broken as if somebody was trying to inter through it. Like a sharp flicker of lightning, it was the two boxes of wand his Uncle O left to him, who would have taken it? He did not even open them.
He runs downstairs, hopping and almost staggering as he went out the house. Nobody's in the field, he runs at the garden and there he saw Sphintrrix, Holding the Wand and pointing it on a gnome who is floating in the air.
"Sphintrrix? What are you doing?" Winter reluctantly asked. Sphintrrix turned and the gnome suddenly fell down the Glimmering Gloves plants. Winter fancied that his eyes gleamed.
"Oh winter... I-I uh... I'm sorry I just saw the boxes of wands..." Sphintrrix's expression turned sullen.
"No, it's alright, I'm- I'm just wondering how you are able to use that wand."
"Well, the other one, I got a real trouble with it, I even broke the window and the glass lamp, which I'm really sorry about, but this one," Sphintrrix paused, raised the wand he's holding and looked at it with great fascination. "This one feels so comfortable to use and looks so familiar to me, so I took it, thinking that I may use it in driving the Garden gnomes away." He held the wand with both hands and offered it to Winter. "I'm really sorry for using it, without asking your approval and for making a mess in the library, promise I'm cleaning it..." Winter was surprised, and remembered what his Uncle O. Have told him, the wand chooses its master...find it's...new...master.
"No," Winter slowly pushed Sphintrrix's hands, with the wand, and said; "It has found its true master... and it happened to be you..."
"What do you mean?" Sphintrrix's got a hint but he only wants to confirm it from winter.
"It is now yours..." Winter Smiled.
"Oh really! Thank you! Thank you! Now I have a wand! I can't believe it! I am a Wizard!" Sphintrrix shouted while hopping in the garden that made the gnomes extremely terrified."
"No, No, Not yet!"
"What?"
"In order for you to become a Wizard you need to study at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry."
Sphintrrix suddenly fell silent and looked at the gnomes that were scratching the ground.
Winter smiled and said; "Hey, What are you waiting for?"
"Yah right..."
"No, I mean are you coming with me or you'll just let me buy your school stuff, alone?"
Sphintrrix's eyes widen with joy and surprise, and smiled like a kid who discovered a treasure under the cupboard.
"Well?" Winter asked.
"Of course! But I-uh...Uh think I need to fix the mess in the library first."
"A'right then! Be quick!
