Chapter 59: Nothing but more Questions
"I don't know sis, this is a little eerie. I don't like it one bit. How do you know this book is nothing but a trick or evil?"
Phoenix started opening the book. Katie sucked in a small breath. "Oh, come on! It can't be evil! It wouldn't have let Hermione and me touch it."
"You found it at Hogwarts, sis. I know their magic is different compared to Wiccan magic, but evil is still the same."
Kaleb scooted closer to the book, ignoring the bickering. He slowly reached over and retrieved the book from Phoenix's grasp. She didn't even notice.
"Then why does it have our family crest on it? It must be from someone in our family."
"There is no way. The last person to have lived in England was Melinda Warren, and she created the Book of Shadows." Katie answered.
"You never know Katie, she may have created this before she left, or how about her mother?"
"Her mother?"
"Yeah, didn't she have wiccan friends? It's a possibility."
"Then it would have been their family's crest, not ours."
"You like to make things difficult, don't you?"
"Dad always said to look at all the evidence and every angle."
"Girls"! Kaleb yelled. He still held the book in his lap.
The two looked at him, their eyes giving him a glare.
"Look, this book is just as big as the Book of Shadows. That means someone has and is adding to the book."
"And how did you draw on this conclusion?" Phoenix asked.
Kaleb looked at the two. Katie gave him the same questioned look. Placing the opened book in the middle of them, he gave out a small sigh.
"Look," he started. Kaleb picked up a page, holding it for a demonstration. "This page obviously looks old." He dropped the page and flipped towards the back, picking up another page. "This looks new."
"So?"
"So, someone is adding to the book, and the handwriting looks different throughout the book."
"But…. Hermione and I have added nothing to it."
"From the looks of it, the last entry was a few months after school started." Kaleb said, point at the date.
"That was when Hermione and I were keeping it in the library."
Katie looked at her sister, "That could be the time when they entered it."
"If it is not Hermione or Nix, then who is it?"
"It has to be a student or a teacher."
"What about the Headmaster?"
Phoenix looked over at her sister. "No!"
"You never know Nix. It doesn't have to be just you and Hermione."
"It is not him, I'm sure."
"You have a lot of faith in your headmaster." Katie said.
"You have a lot of faith in yours as well." Phoenix mocked.
"That's different, sis. My headmistress is our mother." Katie pointed out. "Your headmaster is not related."
Phoenix glared at her while Kaleb snickered.
"We're drifting off topic! We need to look for the demons!" Phoenix grabbed the book from the middle and started flipping pages.
"Is there something else we are supposed to look for?" Kaleb asked
"There is always something you guys are doing. But the demon said something about our birthday." Katie answered.
"I think that was just a coincidence. Every demon and magical creature knows the birthdays of the "charmed children", but I could have sworn there was something else we were going to research on."
"You know Kaleb, you are right. It feels as if we were supposed to do something."
"What is it?"
"I don't know, but let's look for those demons."
