~~~~~~~Chapter 4 -*- Powerful Magicks~~~~~~~
"Huh...? What's that...?" Ron pointed to a large hole in the distance.
It had barely been 2 hours since their arrival at Central. The trio had been wandring around, watching some people as they tend to their dragons, while others just lazed around talking.
"It's nothing probably..." Harry said. He was getting bored. Nothing much was going on. But he guessed it beat staying at Privet Drive, or helping to clean Twelve Grimmauld Place.
"No...it is! Look, just beyond it!" Hermione exclaims.
True enough, just behind that hole was a sign. Now that they were getting closer to it, the white sign stood out like a sore thumb against the dull red colour of the sea of sand that surronded them.
He looked behind him. For the last half an hour, they had been outside Central. You could still see it perfectly, the ground was so flat and endless that you could see for ages.
When they finally reached it, you could see clearly what it read.
Draconicus School Of Draki Witchcraft And Wizardry
"..What..? That hole is a school?" Hermione said, bewildered.
"Uh-huh!" Came a voice from behind. It gave the three such a shock, that they whipped out their wands, and turned around quickly, as if it was a enemy or something, and threatened the person with their wands.
"Hey! I didn't mean to frighten you guys!" It was Reggie. They took back their wands.
"Heh...yeah, that's the school. The only Draki one in the Southern Hemisphere." Reggie explained.
"Strangely enough, you'd think that we'd go by the Australian Muggle school holidays...'cus we have the opposite season and all, to you guys in England...but we go by yours. Weird, huh?"
They weren't paying attention to whatever Reggie had said, they were staring at what she was carrying. A pure-white staff by the looks, and at the top of it branched out to encircle a small crystal.
"What's...that?" Harry asked.
"Huh?...Oh, this?" Reggie replied, holding up the staff to full view.
"That's a staff, right? What exactly would you need that for?" Ron quizzed.
"To cast magic with, duh!" Reggie replied, as if she was stating the obvious.
"Don't you use a wand?" Harry asked.
"No Drakis use wands, Harry. They all use staffs. Didn't you notice that as we walked past them earlier?" Hermione pointed out to Harry.
"No. Why don't you use wands, Reggie?" Harry began to walk back as he said this, and the others followed.
"Well...why the hell would I use those weak little things-" Reggie stopped herself here. "Eheh...I didn't mean to offend you guys...but it's the truth. The intensive magic we use would stuff up the wands completley. So we use staffs, they are a lot more powerful, even if it is a pain in the butt that you always have to carry them everywhere."
"See, you couldn't use this if you had a wand," She said, as she stopped. Harry, Ron and Hermione stopped a little ahead of her and she pointed here staff off to a spot away from them. "Elementus Firra!" She said, and the crystal on the tip of her staff glowed red. Harry began to feel even hotter than he already was. Then, a fire ball burst from it, and carried itself a fair way away, before falling to the ground. Then, as it landed in a patch of spinifex grass, it caught the grasses alight.
"Oh, crap! I hate when I do that!!" Reggie seemed angry with herself. "Elementus Gaia Aquaga!" She then muttered. She pointed her staff towards the fire, and the tip glowed a bright blue. She then flipped the staff up so the crystal faced the sky.
Harry could feel the earth tremble beneath his feet. Then, the quake became more fierce, as if she was going to bow up the earth.
"What are you doing Reggie? You're going to kill us all!" Hermione said, her voice high pitched and shrill.
"No I'm not, I know what I'm doing!" She replied. She was so calm, Harry just couldn't believe how anybody could be this calm when the earth felt like it was going to explode in any second.
Then, it was as if the earth ripped apart just around that area. And, well, it did actually. Water came out of it, like a geyser. The fire was instantly stopped. Then, the ground sealed itself up.
The three stood there, and gaped. They were speechless.
"Well. What do say about that? Huh?" Reggie replied smugly.
"I could top that, any day!" Ron shot back.
"Okay then, let's see ya do it!!" Reggie said, looking even more smug.
Ron aimed his wand, and muttered "Elementus Firra!" His wand went bright red. "Arrgh!!" He cried, and dropped it. "That's HOT!" His wand sizzled, and let off a strange green smoke.
"Um, I think it's broken, Ron." Hermoine said.
"Toldya." Reggie said, while she picked up the wand. "We'll have to get this fixed back at Central..."
She lead the way back.
*****************
Once they got there, she gave Ron's wand to the shopkeeper, Mrs Allivonder and explained what happened, while Harry and the others waited outside.
"Well, that's sorted, you'll have to wait 'till tomorrow to get your wand, Ron." Reggie said as she came back outside.
It was starting to get dark, and cold as Harry shivered. "Can we go back now? I mean, it's starting to get dark." He said.
"Mmmm, yeah, we'd better. C'mon." Reggie said, giving a shiver herself, and then she whistled. Eternity whizzed round and sat on her shoulder as they started back after an eventful day at Central.

Woo-hoo! I finally got that done!!^^ Yeah, enough partying...I have to go pack my bag for school tomorrow...:(. Why can't it be the holidays again??? Sorry if it wasn't as exciting/long/whatever-else-ive-forgotten as you hoped. It will be, once the story gets to Pakkun though! I have lots of ideas for then!
