Chapter 10 Jarrik's Magical Appearance
Jarrik woke up to a sunny morning. He sat up. Where am I, he thought.
"Jarrik sweetie, time for breakfast."Molly called up the stairs. Jarrik's
door opened. It was Ginny.
"Good morning, Jarr."she said, shortening his name.
"I like that. Good morning. Are you coming to wake me up?"Jarrik teased. As
he laughed, his lip throbbed in pain."Ow. What the-"He suddenly remembered
the previous night. His happy atmosphere drained from him like water in a
drainer. He got up."Could you leave so I can get dressed?"Ginny nodded and
left, shutting the door. He got dressed in his robes and uniform. He wanted
to see how it fit. It was amazingly comfortable. He opened the door and
walked down the stairs to the kitchen. Everyone except Arthur and Molly
were sitting at the table. Jarrik was wondering where he should sit. Ginny
pointedly looked at Jarrik and then at a seat next to her. Jarrik got the
hint and sat next to Ginny. After he sat down, he noticed that Fred,
George, and Percy were also wearing their robes.
"Well, it's just the time to start wearing your robes again, isn't
it?"asked Molly cheerfully."Either that, or some of you couldn't stand to
part with them any longer."she teased. Percy threw her a dirty look.
"Mother, do you seriously think that we like wearing these?"he indicated
his robes."Most students at Hogwarts-"
"Perc, give it a rest. Mum, are we going to eat this decade?"George said.
"That is for me to determine. No more talking or you won't eat until
tomorrow."she answered, handing him the eggs. The bowl was passed around
until it reached Jarrik. He saw that there was barely enough for two
people. He took very little. He gave the bowl to Ginny, who frowned.
"Take more, Jarr. I don't take much eggs when I do eat them."she said,
shoving the bowl towards Jarrik again. Jarrik shook his head. He grabbed
the spoon and took a small scoop."More."she demanded.
"No thank you but thanks."Jarrik said firmly. He took the plate from Fred's
outstretched hands and took two of the five bacon strips and began eating,
passing the bowl onto Ginny, who growled in frustration.
"So Jarrik, how does a RCV work?"Arthur asked eagerly.
"First of all, it's a VCR and it runs by electricity. You plug it into the
wall outlet and press the power button on the front. Then, you put in a
thing called a tape, which has a roll of film. It's too complicated to
explain a tape. Anyway, you press the "Play" button on the front and the
film plays. It's called a movie."he said to Arthur.
"Oh, I see."he answered like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
Suddenly Jarrik saw his plate levitating.
"What the-"Jarrik said. He lifted his eyes to the ceiling and the plate
went to the ceiling. A shower of eggs fell over the table.
"Jarrk look at the table slowly."Molly ordered. Jarrik did what Molly had
told him to do."That was your first magical appearance. Other than your
trying out for a wand."Molly added. She seemed pleased."What I want you to
do is to look at Ginny and concentrate on levitating her. If it doesn't
work, that's all right."she told him. Jarrik nodded his head and looked at
Ginny."You know what, let me make something else for you to levitate."She
interrupted, but Jarrik ignored her. He saw Ginny start to rise up off the
floor.
"Help! Put me on the floor, Jarrik!"she shouted."Jarrik Raymond Phenomenal
Powerman Spellman."she screamed.
"I'd rather not. I'm trying to see how long I can keep you in the air. Try
and do some flips and make it more difficult for me."he told Ginny, as she
started to do cart wheels in the air. Jarrik moaned in pain."I'm going to
put you down now."he said, looking down towards the ground almost too fast.
He slowed down towards the ground to put her down gently.
The next day, Ron came back looking much happier. He got home just in time
for breakfast and to see Ginny get levitated again. She had become used to
it. She actually liked it, doing cartwheels in the air. She couldn't do
them on the ground. It continued this way, Ron getting happier, until
September 1.
