Chris stepped out of the cab and looked up at a tall, ancient building. He
knitted his thick brows, running a shaky hand down the straps of his backpack.
'Maybe I shouldn't go inside' he thought, though a part of him urged him forward.
'After all, I could just ask Piper, she might know or the answer might be in the Book
of Shadows.'
"Excuse me, can I help you?" asked a deep voice from behind.
Startled, Chris jumped a little and turned around with surprised on his face.
"I'm sorry, I was—I," stuttered Chris.
"You're the new white lighter, Chris," said the man, who had a secretive grin,
covered by a thin mustache. "I'm Gideon, the headmaster for the Magic
School."
"Um, yeah, I came here because I needed to find a book," Chris said a little
uneasily.
"Follow me then, I'll show you to our library," said Gideon.
They headed through a thick passage way surrounded by tall hedges, then
emerged in a garden, where a tiny pond trickled with water from a fountain. Chris
looked at the cupid statue on top of the fountain and thought he saw it moved.
However, he didn't have time to find out, when the headmaster opened two
enormous wooden doors and disappeared. Following behind him, Chris noticed they
were in a very large tiled room, the walls were covered with striped wall paper, and
hundreds of portraits lined in rows down the long and winding hall.
"There are many of the greats here, that's Professor Chadwick, he invented
floating ghost light, then there's Abigail Mitchell she was the smartest in her class of
I think she still roams these halls at times," said Gideon as he pointed
to the pictures of the people he spoke about. Then, he stopped in front
of
white painted door, with spirals etched along the borders, and a gold
plate that
read LIBRARY. "We're here, if you would like any assistance you can find
me in
my office down the hall and to your left."
Chris nodded and watched as the headmaster left before he entered the
library.
