Alex stood on the loft deck with her wand outstretched.

"What if I say it wrong?" asked Alex nervously.

"Don't worry. You'll get it right. It's not that hard," said her older brother, giving her a boost of confidence, despite her lack of knowledge when it came to such complicated spell work.

Alex flicked the wand in the air. The end glowed with a blue intensity.

"Summinartos Procurus Thundrus Blastrartus!"

There was a flash of sapphire brilliance as dark clouds began to roll furiously across the night sky, capping the pale illumination of the full moon. Suddenly, the sky was lit with an enormous bolt of lighting, followed by another, and another! Earsplitting blasts of thunder echoed the white flashes, and the once peaceful night sky was transformed into a tumultuous electric storm!

"I did it! I did it!" screeched Alex, hugging Justin furiously. He returned the embrace.

"See, I told you." he said. Lighting zigzagged across the sky in beautiful crisscrossing patterns. "Now, you have to turn it off." laughed Justin.

Alex released Justin and returned to the edge of the loft deck. Again, she flicked her wand in the air before quoting the reverse spell.

"Blastrartus Thundrus Procurus Summinartos!" Instantly, the lightning stopped, the thunder ceased, and the dark clouds dispersed. Once again, brother and sister stood side by side in the pallid moonlight.

"Wow," sighed Alex. She turned and looked at Justin. Was he smiling at her? Yes! But it wasn't that usual, "goody-two-shoes," "I-told-you-so" kind of smirk. It was an "I'm-proud-of-you-sis" kind of smirk.

"Feels good doesn't?" asked Justin.

"If you're asking dose it feel good to do something right for a change," said Alex with a grin, "Yes…yes it dose."

Justin chuckled. "I never thought I'd ever see you casting spells like this!"

"Well, I never thought I'd see the day when my dorky older brother would be giving me lessons in wizardry."

Both laughed off the comment.

"No…no me neither," said Justin.

Alex reached out an took Justin's hand, gripping it tight and clinching her fingers between his.

"Thanks," she whispered.

"Your welcome," he replied. "But this doesn't mean I'm going to take it easy on you at the Spell Caster Competition."

"Oh, trust me," said Alex with a wicked grin, "It wont be easy."
