Chapter 4: My first spell, professor..

After finishing lunch Jason and Liz decided that they wanted to explore the Alfea grounds.

They went to the botanical garden, it was filled with beautiful flowers, there were a few pixies flying. There were fairies as well, most of them were fairies who's powers were nature related.

"It really is amazing!" said Jason amazed by the sight.

"it really is isn't it!" said Liz just as amazed "why don't we practice some magic here?" she asked. "That way, you might be able to show off some magic tomorrow evening, I'm sure Professor Toby will be delighted if you show up using a simple spell."

"Probably" Jason replied "what spell did you have in mind?" he asked.

"A small orb of light perhaps? But I think even if you just show up without the magic, that he will still be delighted!" Liz teased him

"so the orb of light thingy" Jason remembered her.

"oh yeah, just hold your hand out like this" she said while stretching out her right had, her hand palm facing the sky. "close your eyes, if it helps" Jason copied Liz.

"what now?" he asked.

"concentrate!" she said. "Believe in your magical capacity and picture that your holding light in your hand!"

Jason concentrated as hard as possible, he pictured light in his hand palm. His hand felt ticklish, like energy was flowing through and around his hand. Then he felt a warm glow engulfing his hand.

"YES, YOU DID IT!" Liz yelled exited. Jason startled and opened his eyes, just to see the light orb disappear again.

Jason stood there with his mouth open, staring at his hand palm. "I-I-I actually d-d-did it! I ACTUALLY DID IT!" he yelled out, he was so happy that he just hugged Liz.

"I have to tell Jared about this! Do you have a moment Liz? I need to make a quick call to my friend at the sorcerers academy!" he asked.

"Sure, go for it! I will just sit down for a minute." She replied while smiling.

Jason grabbed his phone out of his pocket and dialed Jared's phone number.

" tuuuuuut… tuuuuuuut… tuuuuuut… tuuuuuuut… tuuuuuut… tuuuuuuut…"

"You have reached the the voicemail of JARED, JARED is currently unavailable please leave a message at the tone… BIEEEEP!"

"Hey Jared, it's Jason here. I was wondering how you were doing? Everything alright? I'm sharing an apartment with this girl: Liz, she's cool and just now she thought me a simple spell, it's my first spell, it was a simple light orb though.. nevertheless I'm so exited about it, your probably still in class right now, well text me later Bro, so we can fill each other in about everything.. see ya!"

Jason hang up and walked over to Liz. "he's probably still in class, I left him a message, what do you want to do next?" he asked Liz.

"I would really like to go to the library, you know study some spells, care to join?"

"yeah, studying spells sounds nice, maybe I can practice some fire magic. Do they have books about that?"

"loads of them!" she replied.

So together Jason and Liz went to the library. Were Liz learned to create a morphix bubble, it wasn't big though, it was the size of a walnut. Jason found a book about fire magic, he learned that there was this spell that could summon the fire spirits, so that they could guide you. Jason tried to use the spell and almost lit his book on fire.

"ok, so that spell is too difficult" he said. "well at least something happened, right?"

"yes, you created fire, that's a good start" Liz enthused.

They stayed all afternoon, until the library was closing. They went to the great hall to eat diner. Later that night Jason and Liz practiced the light orb spell some more, until Jason got the hang of it.


The next morning, they woke up at 7, Jason showered, they went for breakfast in the hall. Liz noticed that professor Toby was staring at Jason, the whole time.

"You know Jason, I think he really likes you?" she said.

"Who likes me?" he replied confused

"Professor Toby, look he's staring again, and for quiet a while now."

"what? Really?" Jason turned his head and looked at Professor Toby, who quickly turned his head away. Jason thought he saw him blush and began to blush himself.

"see?" Liz asked.

"yeah, but like you said, we might be around the same age, he still is a teacher and I'm his student.. that's all there is to it"

"For now.." she said teasing Jason. "Anyways.. are you finished? We have basic spells next, I think its from professor palladium, maybe you'll learn something new to impress you know who."

"yeah right, like I would ever be able to impress him.." Jason rolled his eyes.

That morning went bye awfully slowly. All Jason could think of was his private lesson that night at professor Toby's apartment. Then it was noon.. "finally" Jason thought.

"We don't have class this afternoon, what do you want to do?" he asked Liz.

"Why don't we hit the city of Magix? Get you dressed up for your date.." she replied

"IT'S NOT A DATE!" Jason yelled at her, blushing.


They took the bus at the glass entrance gate. After 20 minutes they arrived at the city of Magix.

"It's beautiful" Jason exclaimed. "amazing right?" Liz asked

Jason nodded. "follow me" Liz said.

Liz guided Jason through a few streets, until she stopped at the entrance to the mall.

"We have arrived!" she said "come on, I know a store where they sell clothes that will make you look adorable and sexy at the same time!"

Jason followed her to a dressing cabinet, Liz ordered him to stay in there, while she was collecting clothes for him to fit.

He fitted a beautiful satin shirt, it was a deep blue. He also put on a skinny jeans..

"ok I'm ready" he said

"well come on out then!" Liz said exited

Jason opened the curtain and came out. "wow, that looks so good on you" said Liz.

"yeah well, I can't afford this, so let's put it ba…" he said only to be interrupted by Liz.

"It's on me, a little gift for my friend.." she said

"HAVE YOU SEEN THESE PRICES? ARE YOU MAD OR WHAT?" he asked her.

"no, I'm not, my mother works for queen Aisha remember? So we are kind of like stinky dirty rich, but let's keep that a secret ok? And there is no room for negotiations, I'm buying you that, if you like it or not!"

"ok, it's our little secret. But why should it be a secret?" he asked

" I don't want people to like me for my money" she replied.

"I can totally understand that" Jason said to her "thank you for the clothes Liz"

"my pleasure"

They retuned to Alfea college, where Liz got Jason dressed, for his special date as she called it.

After they ate diner at their apartment Jason left.


He found himself before the apartment of professor Toby, but he was to nervous to knock.

"oh god, look at me, standing here all dressed up in my satin shirt.. what isn't he going to think of me?" Jason thought. Then after 5 minutes he finally had the courage to knock.

Professor Toby opened immediately, just as if he was waiting on the other side of the door. "come in, and take a seat" he said to Jason. "Do you want some soda?" he asked.

"Y-y-yeah, t-thank you" Jason replied

"you aren't nervous, now are you?" Toby asked.

"J-just a L-l-little" Jason stuttered.

"Well don't be, there is no reason to be, I'm here as a friend now, its after school hours, remember?"

"You s-see me as a friend?" Jason asked

"This may sound weird, since I'm your teacher but, your 19 and I'm only 23, so we are practically the same age. And the fact that you don't know much about magic, makes me want to help you and be a …" he paused. "a friend to you."

"ok, but isn't that weird?" Jason asked.

"no not at all" Toby said. "your look nice by the way, did you dress up for this?"

"well, Liz made me" Jason said while smiling nervously.

"I saw you in the park yesterday afternoon" Toby said "you used a spell?"

"yeah, I was going to tell you about that, Liz learned me a simple one, want to see?" Jason asked

"sure, show me what you got" Toby stood up and came to sit next to Jason.

"ok, I'll try" Jason said. He stretched out his right hand and closed his eyes, he thought about the light in his hand and immediately his hand was engulfed in a familiar warmth. He opened his eyes, but the light orb didn't disappear, this time it slowly faded away.

"very nice" Toby said enthusiastic. "Oops, your soda, I totally forgot!" Toby jumped up and ran into his kitchen.

Jason felt like he didn't want Toby to go into the kitchen, he wanted him close bye, he wanted to feel his breath and his warmth.

Toby returned with two cups of soda. "here you go" he said while handing one over to Jason. Toby's finger touched Jason's hand for a second, they both started blushing.

"sorry" Toby said, quickly redrawing his hand.

"Don't worry about it" Jason said.

"Your blushing" Toby said

"Well so are you"

They stared into each others eye's for a moment. It was an intense moment.

"we better get started, with some fire magic then" Toby said suddenly.

"yeah, probably" Jason said.

Toby grabbed a spell book. "Let's start with this" he said.
