A/N: Thanks again to reviewers. Sorry I haven't replied to all the reviewers, but I'm having trouble with my computer. Stupid computers. This is even shorter than the rest. If any one reckons my A/N's are all the same, they are, I just copy and paste, and then edit blush. Please Review!
Chapter 13
Holly leaned on the back of the door, and slowly slid to the floor. Maybe she was ill. She had to be ill. She had just been kissed by Commander Root. And liked it! Commander Root. Commander Root. Commander Root. Her boss. The man who absolutly dispised her, and had treated her like something he'd trodden in for the last decade or so. Stupid man. Stupid men. They were all stupid. All of them. Except maybe that elf guy from Lord of the Rings. With the blondey hair. So what if he was human? He was still cute.
She yawned sleepily. Her skin was tingling, as if she'd done magic. Weird. She gave another yawn, and headed off to bed.
Julius smiled slightly to himself as he headed home. He was pretty tired himself. A few blue sparks trailed along his hands, and he watched them as he pulled the brake. Strange, he thought to himself, he hadn't done any magic for a while. Maybe it was a magic bug. Probably caught it from Holly, way she'd been acting lately. He smiled, thinking of that kiss, and hit his head when he forgot to duck through the front door.
Dave flicked through the book again. Where was that spell? It was working, his match-making spell, he knew that. It had been funny, watching Root and Short pretend that didn't fancy each other, but how did he stop it? He knew he'd written a spell to stop it. He thought he knew he'd written a spell to stop it. He looked at the first line of the piece of paper he was holding:
'To stop the spell you need to...'
Then he remembered. He'd been about to write it when Corrie had started. He'd gotten a little distracted. He hadn't actually finished the spell.
"Oops."
