Clark can't believe that he is able to talk to that bird .
It's not like any bird Clark ever seen . It's larger than big eagle but it's beautiful with bright golden colour with almost two feet length of wings, stretched so far with bright sky blue with feathers of different colours , red , blue , green and gold .
Eyes are sparking green with pink coloured beak .
It's most beautiful bird he ever seen . And he didn't know what type of bird it is .
" Hello Clark . " A eleven years old Clark can't believe he heard voice from the bird .
" Who are you? " Clark asked with bright blue eyes , looking at the bird with fascination .
" I am your friend . " She replied , fluttering her wings , staying in mid air , level with his face .
" What's your name ? " Clark asked , reaching for her .
" I don't have a name . " She replied .
" Can I give you the name ? " Clark asked .
" You can . " She said .
" What about Sarah? " Clark asked .
Clark heard musical voice from Sarah . Clark thought she agreed .
" Why are you here? " Clark asked .
" To show you something . Come with me . " The bird flew , Clark followed her .
It's stopped at storm stellar .
Clark realised he has to open it . It's locked , Clark knew where is the key .
Clark ran with superspeed , got the key , opened the stellar .
Sarah flew into stellar , Clark followed until the bird landed on some object which is covered with cloth .
Clark removed the cloth , making the thick dust rose .
What he saw under the cloth is amazed him . It's smooth oval shaped , golden coloured metallic object . Clark didn't know what it is .
" Open it . " The bird said .
" How ? " Clark asked , not able to see any opening .
" Place your hand on it and say open . " the gorgeous golden bird informed .
Clark placed his hand on it , said open .
Suddenly the box is opened in middle , like it just ripped in middle with well aimed laser is cutting it .
The bird landed into it , pecking her beak at some weird symbol .
" Here . Open it . " The bird said .
Clark placed his hand on that symbol , thought of opening it .
It opened automatically .
Clark can see a neatly carved , twenty inch long white stick with handle at one edge which is coated with blue metallic sheet .
It's clearly wood Clark can see .
Clark picked it , instantly he felt warmth he never felt before , like it's belong to him .
" What is it ? " Clark asked the bird .
" It's magic wand and it's belong to you . " The bird replied .
" Magic wand ? " Clark asked with surprise . Clark waved it . Nothing happened . " It's not magic wand . It's rather big "
" It is . It's belong to you . " The bird said . " I have to leave . " She flew away .
For eleven years old boy it's all strange .
Clark knew he is different . He is fast and strong but never thought he can talk to birds .
It's not ordinary bird Clark can say . Because no other bird ever talked to him .
Clark touched it and said " close . " It's closed automatically .
" What did you have Clark ? " Martha asked seeing strange wooden stick in his hand .
" It's magic wand . " Clark said , waving it happily .
Martha can't help but chuckle at kid's imagination .
" Martha , did you open the storm stellar ? " Jonathan rushed into house with nervous and anxiety .
" I did. " Clark said , lowering his head apologizingly .
" Why ? " Jonathan asked , kneeling in front of him , affectionately lifting his chin .
Clark explained what happened . The bird , the talking , how he found his wand .
" Are you able to talk to any other birds ? " Jonathan asked , thinking whether it's another his special power .
Clark shook his head as no . " Did I do wrong dad ? " Clark asked . " Here is your wand . " Clark handed wand to Jonathan .
" No . " Jonathan said with assured smile . " It's yours . "
Jonathan sighed .
This topic is always hard for him . His alien origin . For eleven years old boy how can anyone explain that he is alien . What it meant by that .
" As we already told you , you are adopted . " Jonathan said .
Clark nodded .
" I think this is from your parents . Your real parents . " Jonathan said .
Clark didn't know what to say .
" Do you know who they are ? " Clark asked with curiously .
Jonathan shook his head , looked at Martha for support .
Martha reached Clark .
" We don't know Clark but one day you will get answers . Until then you wait . Okay? " Martha said .
Clark nodded .
" Great . Let me get you your favourite cookies . " Martha said .
" Hey . " Clark cheered happily .

It's evening . Clark is playing with his wand . The thing is he never felt such a belongingness with any other toy .
He really thought he can do something with this wand .
And it's different . The wand is strong . Stronger than metal because even he can't bend it .
Whatever he did , nothing can scratch it .
Clark waved it again , this time with more determination than ever , concentrating .
Clark felt something go through him , some kind of warmth feeling then he can feel it go through his wand then he saw bright sparks with so many different colours are coming out of the wand . It's so beautiful .
" Wow . " Clark thought .
He tried again and again but it didn't happen .
Clark called Sarah with high voice , for his surprise the bird came to him , landed on his shoulder .
" Where did you go ? " Clark asked .
" I have a home too . But I will come to you whenever you call me . " Sarah said .
" Pretty bird . "
Clark heard a woman's voice . She is slender and young , white skinned, gorgeous tall young woman with amazing black hair .
But what Clark noticed is her beautiful brown eyes with playful smile .
She is wearing white tight leather corset and black hot pants with fishnet stockings along with top hat , on top, a short black waist coat and knee length boots .
She looks like woman from comics he read .
Clark is looking at her with wide eyes .
" Who are you? " Clark asked .
The young woman smiled at the young boy who is tall for his eleven years old who is looking healthy .
She can tell that he will be looker when he grow up .
" I am Zatanna Zatara . Are you Clark Kent ? " She asked , bend in front of him to meet him face to face .
" Yes I am . " Clark answered .
" Can I talk to your parents ? " She asked .
Clark nodded .
Zatanna Zatara is in main hall , sitting in couch , opposite to him is Kents .
Jonathan and Martha are surprised by clothing , the woman is wearing .
" Hello Mr and Mrs Kent . I am Zatanna Zatara . " She introduced herself . " I am one of the teacher in academy of Freya . I am here to talk about your son's joining in our school . He is very special boy . "
Both Martha and Jonathan are stiffened by hearing those words especially special and looked at each other .
They can't believe that young woman who has looks of Hollywood star , who probably in her early twenties can be teacher . It's unbelievable .
Zatanna noticed them . " Don't be startled Mr Kent . He has magic . We can teach him to control his magic . " Zatanna said .
" Are you kidding me ? " Jonathan asked , not able to believe .
" You mean this is really magic wand ? " Clark asked , showing his wand .
Zatanna smiled at him , picked it . Zatanna observed , thought it's quite long , can't be wand . But she can feel magical trace at wand . She placed her wand against it , whispered something .
Clark is surprised by the wand in Zatanna's hand . She picked it from her boot . It's not as tall as his wand .
There is a silver metallic sheet around her handle while his has blue .
There is white light came out of her wand , encasing over Clark's wand .
Clark's wand emitted blue light from its tip .
" It is magical wand . " Zatanna confirmed . " But I never seen any wand like this . Where did you get it ? " She asked .
Before Clark can answer , Jonathan replied .
" It's gift from his parents . He is adopted . " He informed .
" That means Clark's parents may be sorcerers too . " Zatanna informed .
" We don't know anything about his parents . " Martha said .
" It's okay . Probably it's from his parents . But you need to understand that Clark is sorcerer . He need to learn how to use it properly . We can give that to him . We have more than twenty teachers who are highly capable of teaching young sorcerers under one of the greatest principal and sorceress Freya ."
" You all dress like that ? " Martha asked their lingering question .
" Oh no. I thought it's better to show up in muggle's clothes that represents sorcerer so I wore these . " Zatanna replied , glancing at her clothes .
" Dear. You look lovely but it's not common . You should wear your own clothes or I can give you some of my clothes . " Martha offered .
" You are very kind . " Zatanna said then waved her hand .
Next moment , Zatanna is changed into some kind of medieval warrior witch with hat .
Black stylish gorgeous green laced corset that fitted like armour than corset , with long grey cape in back , knee above tight grey shorts with high heel sandals . There is wand sheath with gold belt around her hip .
All are amazed seeing beautiful woman in warrior clothes .
" Can you explain more about this magic ? " Jonathan asked , trying to distract himself .
" There are some people who has capability of using magic, hidden in this society throughout the world . And they are hidden from normal world with magic , living peacefully . They have their own lives and they also have schools to teach the kids about magic . " Zatanna explained . " Sometimes children from non magical user whom we call them muggles also get magic . For them based on place , one of the teacher will be sent to make the parents convince . "
" Where is the school ? " Jonathan asked .
" I am sorry but it's hidden . No one except the principal actually knew the physical location . Also it always moves from place to place . " Zatanna explained .
It's all looks wonderful to Clark but it looks little suspicious to Jonathan .
" I am sorry . How can we trust you ? " Jonathan asked .
" I don't know how to make you trust Mr Kent but everything we are telling is true . After this I am going to metropolis for some girl named Chloe Sullivan to convince her . Then I can take you all to market where you need to buy some magical items . Maybe that can convince you . "
" You know usually schools will show some kind of school pamphlet . And some tour . " Jonathan asked .
Zatanna smiled .
" Of course . You know you are very persistent Mr Kent . People usually jump in joy when we told them their children has magic , feeling proud that their child is special . "
" We are already proud of Clark , he is special . " Martha hugged Clark .
Zatanna chuckled .
" Of course . Let me show you the school . " Zatanna waved her wand .
Next moment ,their entire house turned into big garden with forest around it .
Still they are sitting in couch .
Clark can see two big mountains that are touching thick clouds .
He can see a beautiful waterfall . There are deers , rabbits , baby mountain goats , squirrels , peacocks , elephants , giraffes roaming around free , playing .
" These are just normal animals . There are some wild animals in forest and magical animals too. "
Zatanna waved her wand again .
They are moved to some place in garden .
It has many beautiful pools with series of beautiful flower plants surrounded by it , giving exotic nature .
" Is this the school ? " Jonathan asked .
" No . It's just surroundings . " Zatanna replied . " School is that way . "
Clark felt he is moving again . Now he can see a big castle made of stone and clay with so many bright colours .
It's so big and looking ancient , it stretched to hundreds of acres and if you count surrounding lands , grounds and other buildings as ancient as the castle , it's thousands of acres .
" This is the school . " Zatanna said . " Let's take a tour inside . " Zatanna waved her wand , they moved again .
" These are different classrooms. We have hundreds of class rooms . "
Clark and his parents are moving again and again , classroom to classroom .
" Total twelve floors , three hundred twenty two class rooms, labs and bathrooms along with student and staff chambers and staff rooms . " Zatanna explained .
The rooms , students are going stay are four poster bed , two beds per room .
Clark is looking at everything with wonder filled eyes .
" Let's see how we teach our class . " Zatanna told .
Clark can see live classroom with nearly thirty students .
He can see more girls than boys .
The teacher is tall woman in her fifties , who is wearing medieval style brown shirt and pants with long cape type coat that came below to her knees with black woman shoes with heel .
Clark can see that students also wearing almost similar clothing . He has to say it's stylish but weird .
Clark can see that everyone has wand similar to him but smaller .
Clark is listening to lecture for ten minutes , the teacher is performing magic with her wand , she is moving her wand , along with wand movements , a stone also is moving in mid air. It's amazing . he really wish his parents allow him to join the school .
" Moving on . " Zatanna waved her wand , they realised they are back in their house again .
" Wow . That's amazing . " First time, Jonathan left the look of suspicion and has look of wonder .
" Thanks Mr Kent . " Zatanna said . " Clark can do these things too with teaching . "
" Can you show me more magic ? " Clark asked enthusiastically .
Zatanna gave her trademark playful smile , raised from her seat .
She waved her wand , moving with gracefulness of dancer , she conjured small flock of small birds with different bright colours, they are moving along with her , actually her wand .
Clark can see Zatanna is whispering some spells but not able catch what those are .
Jonathan can tell that Zatanna is great at display , like she is professional magician .
Beautiful dancing woman with dancing birds .
Clark clapped automatically , seeing her .
Zatanna didn't stop , her birds are disappeared , now she waved her wand , she is disappeared into thin air .
Clark unknowingly stopped breathing , looking at her with unblinking eyes .
But she is appeared behind him .
He felt like kid watching world greatest magic show .
With wave of her wand , bright colours with sparks came out of her wands , dancing around her then disappeared.
Then for horror of him , entire house went into roaring fire but next moment it's gone .
She turned cup into rat , then jug into rabbit then changed back .
Zatanna did so many spells for hour , Clark can see she is little tired .
Clark can't help but clap with joy .
" Thank you Clark . " Zatanna bowed .
Zatanna looked at Kents . They are still in shock with that display .
They realised Zatanna is looking for answer .
" Ms Zatara . Your school looks wonderful but we need time . "
" I understand . " Zatanna nodded . " I will be coming after one week to get Clark the things he needed for school in case you decided to let him join . Now I have to go to metropolis to meet a special girl . "
" Who is she ? " Clark asked .
" I don't know. Her name is Chloe Sullivan . " Zatanna said . " This is good bye . " She waved her wand , next moment she is disappeared .
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It didn't take much time for Kents to decide it's safe to send Clark to school but they made him promise that he won't reveal his special abilities .
Zatanna, as promised , she appeared in front of the Kents after week with same weird appearance .
" Have you decided yet ? " Zatanna asked with her youthful enthusiasm .
Kents nodded in response .
Zatanna smiled with joy . " We need school supplies for your young boy . If you can come with me now , I will take you to wizard market . But before that we have to pick up other student too . "
Kents agreed . Kents are carrying money while Clark has bag and his wand .
They all got ready , wearing casual clothes while Zatanna in her warrior witch costume .
Kents followed Zatanna as she is walking to empty dirt road in side , she raised her wand like she asking for lift .
Clark heard high loud screeching noise , next moment there is triple decker bus appeared out of thin air .
It's bright burgundy and shaped like three buses just glued together with three sets of large bus tire sized head lights in front of it .
Clark never seen anything like that . How did it appeared like that Clark didn't know .
" This is called knight bus . " Zatanna said .
" Hello Zatanna . "
Clark looked at a lean young boy with freckles, who came out of bus , probably 6 or 7 year older than him greeted her with light blush in his cheeks .
He is wearing some sort of uniform Clark guessed . Green trousers that came to his knees and red shirt with some kind of threads around his waist . He has leather bag but Clark is not able to recognise that type of leather and he has red pointy hat on his head .
Clark thought he looks ridiculous but didn't say anything .
" Hi Stan . " She greeted cheerfully , making the young man blush furiously .
Jonathan and Martha looked at each , smiling .
" This is Clark . He is going to join our school . "
Zatanna showed him .
" Hi Clark . " He greeted . Clark waved in response but Clark is clearly more interested in bus .
Clark is shocked seeing what inside of bus look like .
There are no seats to sit but series of large beds placed in two columns .
Most surprising thing is how big the bus is inside .
It's like three storey building with nothing but beds . But no passengers .
Clark can see the driver ,she is very old woman with glasses , Clark thought she is more than hundred years old .
" Where to ? " Stan asked .
" 4 for metropolis , this address " Zatanna showed small paper and giving him some round bronze coins .
" Aaw . That's short ride . " Stan clearly disappointed .
Zatanna smiled . " Don't worry. It's just short stop . We have to go to Branville . " Zatanna said .
Stan is beamed with that .
" Where is Branville ? " Jonathan asked .
" It's near Gotham. " Zatanna replied .
As soon as Stan gave them small rectangular piece of hard paper like piece of parchment , the bus is started .
Quickly Kents took each bed , looking through window .
Clark never seen any vehicle with this speed. Even with his reflexes , outside is going away almost like blur but he is able to see .
Clark can feel squeezing sensations when the bus is getting squeezed between vehicles .
Even though this much big bus is going , no one is noticed it .
Clark didn't know his speed can match this bus but he is thinking maybe he can .
Within ten minutes , bus is stopped .
" Come on Clark . " Zatanna called .
Clark can see he is in town , metropolis , in front of one small apartment .
Clark noticed Zatanna pressed a button in front of Gabe.S .
" Who is it ? " Clark heard a male voice .
" Mr Sullivan . This Zatanna . " She replied with clear amusement in her face .
Clark didn't know why .
" I have never done this before . So many things are invented without magic . " Zatanna said excitingly .
Jonathan and Martha can't help but smile .
Clark can see the door is opened . They used elevator .
" I can't believe it's won't use magic . " Zatanna gleefully said when elevator is going up .
Zatanna rang calling bell , a stylishly dressed good looking blonde woman in late twenties opened the door .
" Hello Mrs Sullivan . " Zatanna greeted .
She invited everyone into house . It's small three bedroom apartment with hall .
Clark can see big TV , neatly decorated building .
" This Chloe . " Zatanna said to Clark . " This is Clark . "
Clark looked at blonde girl who is same age as him with short pixie cut hair .
Clark smiled at her which she returned .
" Why don't you talk somewhere else so we can talk . " Zatanna said .
" Chloe. Show him your room . " Mrs Sullivan said .
" Come on Clark . " Chloe grabbed Clark's hand .
Clark simply followed her .
Chloe's bedroom is small , smaller than his but it's walls are filled news articles , one side rack is filled with books .
Clark didn't see many toys though .
" What did you do ? " Chloe asked .
" What do you mean ? " Clark clearly confused .
" You know. What magic did you do so Ms Zatara came ? " Chloe explained . " I turned my classmate's hair into yellow who is mocking my haircut . "
" I like your hair . " Clark said . " It's pretty . "
Chloe blushed little . " Thanks . " She said . " What did you do ? " Chloe asked again .
" I don't know. I talked to big bird and I one time shot sparks from my wand . "
" What do you mean you talked to bird ? What do you mean you have wand ? Ms Zatara said we have to buy them now. "
" It's from my parents . " Clark explained how he is adopted . He has his wand in boot , showed her .
" Wow . " Chloe exclaimed , picking his wand . " It's so smooth . " Chloe said . She waved the wand but nothing happened .
" Let me try . " Clark said , taking his wand and tried . After much concentration and many tries , big and bright sparks came out of the wand like beautiful fireworks .
" Wow . " Chloe looked impressed . Then she looked at him like she remembered something and she asked . " What do you mean you talked to bird . "
" It came to me one day . I talked . I named her Sarah . " Clark said . " She told me she will come to me if I call her . She came to me whenever I called her from my house . I don't know from here . Can I try ? "
Chloe nodded excitingly .
" Sarah . " Clark said with normal voice .
Chloe is looking around .
" Sometimes it takes time . " Clark said .
Almost after two minutes , there is big beautiful golden bird is knocking window with its beak .
" Sarah . " Clark exclaimed , opened the window .
Sarah landed on his shoulders .
" Sarah , this is Chloe . " Clark said .
For Chloe's surprise , the bird made some musical noise .
" New friend Clark? " Sarah asked .
" What did she say ? " Chloe asked . Clark explained .
" This is amazing . " Chloe said . Clark nodded .
" You know Sarah is very common name . Maybe you should name something different . " Chloe suggested .
" What about you ? " Clark asked Sarah .
" It's just one week , you already changing names . " Sarah said . " Still it's okay . "
Chloe is looking at Clark and bird fascinatingly .
" She agreed . " Clark said . " What should we name her ? "
Chloe thought about a moment . " Do you have any favourite show with girl is centered ? " Chloe asked .
Clark thought about a moment .
" I liked Buffy the vampire slayer . " Clark said finally . " What about Buffy ? " Clark asked the bird .
" I like the name . " The bird confirmed . " No more changes . " The bird said warningly , making Clark laugh .
Clark explained what bird said to Chloe , making Chloe laugh .
Clark and Chloe talked for hour until Mrs Sullivan came to room . Buffy already left .
Chloe can't believe the magic bus Clark told her about .
" Come on children. We are going . " she said .
Clark and Chloe jumped out of bed with excitement that they are going to magical market and bus .
Zatanna took them to one secluded spot and waved her wand .
After almost ten minutes , the bus stopped in front of them .
Clark can't help but laugh at Chloe who is looking at the bus with open jaw .
Stan as usual very happy to see Zatanna .
" 7 Branville including meal. " Zatanna gave him two silver coins .
All got seated in different beds . Clark didn't know how anyone can sleep in this bumpy bus ride .
" Ms Zatara . " Chloe called .
" You know in school you have to call us mistress and master . So better used to it now . " Zatanna said .
" You mean mistress Zatanna . " Clark asked .
Zatanna nodded with smile . " Zee is better . "
" Mistress Zee , everyone in magic travel with these buses ? " Chloe asked .
" Of course not . Mostly we can apparate , means disappear from one place and appear at desired place . For that people need practice and license . Some travel by broomsticks if it short distance . But for very old wizards it's very tiresome so they use these buses even though these are very slow . "
Clark can't believe she is saying this bus is slow .
" If you are a teacher , what you teach mistress Zee? " Chloe asked .
" I teach how to fly . " Zatanna happily informed . " With broom of course . "
Clark looked around . So far they are the only people in the bus .
For Clark's surprise , the bus is stopped with sudden screeching sound , making them almost fall and very old man with help of walking stick is entered the bus .
He looked at the crowd with surprise . Stan approached .
The old man gave him two bronze coins then said . " Camison alley. "
Again bus is started with sudden start , making them again almost fall .
Like that old man , another four old people entered the bus .
Looks like bus will stop anywhere without muggle people then bus again is stopping at various locations to drop them at their destinations .
After almost one hour , Stan handed them a plate meals for everyone .
Clark can see roasted chicken , fried potatoes , salad and two different flavours of ice creams in his plate .
Clark tasted them , everything is amazing .
Chloe and Clark talked after their meal and for every five minutes Chloe is asking mistress Zatanna question .
Clark has to say he didn't have single clue why he didn't ask any questions . His only explanation is that it's magic .
He has to say it's very informative ride .
The usual ride of ten hours , took just two hours in this knight bus .
Clark got surprise of his lifetime when he got down from the bus .
It's some ten miles stretched alley , filled with so many people who are wearing weird clothes .
Clark thought that's how sorcerers wear clothes .
Most of the women are wearing clothes similar to Zatanna . Tight mini corset with pants , along with different colours of belts and pointy hats , but not everyone is wearing leather though . Most of them are wearing thin cotton , some are silk or satin .
Most men are wearing tight ragged shirt with pants with point hat and belt .
Clark felt like he is transported to medieval times like in movies .
What is more strange is the shops . So many shops selling so many different items .
Clark can't help but turn his head into all directions .
Clark saw shops that are selling broomsticks , saw toy shops with toys that are so life like . Newspaper stand with several newspapers with moving pictures .
Sweet shops with thousands of types of sweets , Clark never seen before .
Clark saw a cloth shop , where a tape is automatically moving , taking measurements of a woman .
There is shop with glass jars those are filled with all sorts of animal stuff , eyes , brains , livers , nails , blood etc .
" I almost forgot , these are the items you needed for school . " Zatanna handed them two ancient styled parchments .
Clark looked at the parchment and started reading them .
It contains cauldrons , weighing scales , three sets of uniforms , unknown books of magic , cups and finally wand .
After Clark , Jonathan and Martha also read the parchment .
" We are here . Gringotts . " Zatanna exclaimed , showing them very large building . " It's not much outside but mostly the bank is underground . "
Clark has to say this looks like some kind of big office building , similar to large bank buildings .
Clark saw unknown creatures in well designed suits , which are not taller than three feet with pointy noses , fanged teeth , clawed hands .
" These are goblins . " Zatanna informed. " You can exchange muggle money here . "
There is no big queue or anything . Clark saw some bronze , silver and gold coins are given exchanging for their money .
Zatanna explained the currency to them .
First shop they went is to get their uniforms .
" Madam Clarissa . " Zatanna greeted a sharp looking woman with hook nose , who is in her fifties .
" Are these the young lads going to Freya's academy ? " she asked .
Zatanna nodded . " You know the drill . "
Clark got three sets of uniforms after he got measured by automatic tape and automatic quill .
One is thick wool , one is cotton , other fine silk .
He has to it fitted perfectly . All are same colour , green well fitted pants and buttoned white shirt with grey coat .
She even got him belt with wand sheathe .
Clark tried the dress himself and placing the wand in the sheathe .
" You look like prince Clark . " Zatanna complemented him then place black cap type hat with pointy end on his head .
Chloe also got similar clothes but more faminine .
They moved to shop after shop buying cauldrons , scales, rolls of parchments then finally books .
Jonathan calculated the money . It overall costed him near 200 dollars .
" All we need you guys are wands . " Zatanna said .
" But mistress Zee , I already have wand . " Clark replied .
Zatanna smiled . " Usually wands will be selected by special sorcerers after proper age . That wand probably belongs to your parents . It won't work good for you . You are better with your own wand . " She explained .
Clark nodded .
" Finest wands of Fernando Ber . " Clark read the sign .
" They have one of the finest wands . " Zatanna led them to the shop .
Chloe who is eager get her hand on wand , forwarded.
Clark looked at the shop , it has nothing but piles of small rectangular wooden boxes that similar to pencil boxes , probably thousands of box's neatly packed in opened racks .
Fernando is more than six feet tall , muscular black man with small curly grey hair , who looks like a black smith .
" Let me get the tape . " Fernando said .
Again the tape automatically took measurements like they for stitching but it also measured the length of her nose , elbow to palm, even each fingers , hips to end of arm .
Then he placed some kind of bronze scale on her palm , like he is measuring something unknown .
" Bright aura . " Fernando commented .
" Not everyone do that . " Zatanna whispered to Clark .
Fernando picked one stylish and bendy wand , gave it to her .
" Wood of ash and dragon heartstring , 9 inches . " He said .
Chloe picked it , instantly Fernando took it from her , shaking his head .
He gave another wand then another and another , every time he is moving to upper racks .
Clark didn't know what Fernando expecting but he is very happy whenever he is moving to upper rack .
" Try this . " Fernando said with smile . " Particularly strong silver unicorn hair and finest cedar wood , 11 inch "
Clark can see Chloe instantly liked that wand .
As soon as Chloe touched the wood , Clark can see Chloe felt something , her expression became little dreamy , like she is feeling great and her wand let out a golden light from tip .
Zatanna clapped .
" That's amazing Fernando . You never disappoint me . " Zatanna said .
" You got yourself powerful witch Zatanna . " Fernando commented .
" Clark . Now it's your turn . " Zatanna showed him Clark .
The tape took measurements automatically .
Fernando looked at the measurements .
" You are completely symmetrical and optimal . " Fernando looked at Clark with curious filled eyes .
Clark felt little uncomfortable .
He placed the same scale type bronze item in his hand .
" Hmm . It's interesting . He has magic but never seen aura like this . " Fernando said .
Clark can see he is not able to decide which wand to give him , after a moment he gave a wand .
" Holly and unicorn hair . 11 inch " he handed bendy wand to Clark .
Clark picked it but nothing happened .
Fernando then changed to another wand , little bigger than the previous .
Clark tried wand after wand , spent more time than Chloe still Fernando not able to decide .
Now Fernando reached topmost shelf and gave him the particularly big wand , almost fifteen inch wand .
" Phoenix tail feather , apple wood . "
Clark picked , can see Fernando desperation clear in his eyes .
" Sorry Zatanna , I don't know why but I am not able to find suitable wand for him . " Fernando replied .
Zatanna looked at Clark then Fernando .
" What should I do ? Can I try Ollivanders or Gregorowich ? " Zatanna asked .
Fernando shook his head .
" I don't think so . They also use almost same material as mine . " Fernando said .
" What about my wand ? " Clark offered , showing his rather long wand .
Fernando picked it . " Strange energy . " He commented , like he noticed something, no one can see .
" Let me try . " Fernando waved the wand but nothing happened . " It's wand but not able to make it work . " Fernando looked at Clark , gave back his wand .
" How do you feel ? " Fernando asked .
" Like it's part of me . " Clark answered .
Fernando smiled . He waved his wand then said " Revealio Relato "
Clark felt strange white light out of his body then it went though his wand then it shot through it tip .
" Amazing . It's really his wand . Where did you get it ? " Fernando exclaimed .
" Clark is adopted . It's from his parents . " Zatanna answered . " Thank you Fernando for confirmation . "
" Clark , if it's okay , I wish to examine your wand sometime . " Fernando asked hopingly .
" Let's see . " Zatanna replied .
Chloe's parents paid money for Chloe's wand . Mr Sullivan calculated that he paid almost 70 dollars for this wand .
Zatanna adjusted their wand sheathe to respected wand sizes .
" Now what should we do ? " Chloe asked , seeing that they brought everything they needed .
" Let's see what this magic world can offer you children . "
After two hours of roaming through the streets , Clark saw so many magical items .
Chloe is particularly fascinated by the broomsticks .
Zatanna showed them how they fly on broomsticks .
Clark and Chloe are happy that they are going to do that too .
" You can't have the broomsticks . No first years are allowed to own broomsticks . " Zatanna informed .
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Zatanna informed them that after twenty seven days , their school will start . She explained how to reach the school .
Clark and Chloe are in constant touch with each other through mails and phones .
Clark can't believe Chloe almost read basic spell book and she already able to perform some spells successfully .
Clark also tried many spells but none them worked except one spell .
It's Lumos . As per description it has to work as small torch but when he tried it in barn , it illuminated through barn like hundreds of big floodlights .
Clark tried the same spell again and again until he perfected it .
Clark is eagerly waiting for the day when he has to go to school .
He didn't know about the how he feels about the broomsticks . Flying felt like great experience but he is little scared of heights .
Clark talked to Buffy many times , she became his best friend so is Chloe .
He also visited Chloe two times in weekends , where Chloe showed some of the spells she tried successfully .
She showed him alohamora which unlocks the any lock , Lumos to make her wand lit , spongify to make the floor tile soft as rubber .
Clark showed only spell he is able to master , Lumos , worked completely different than how Chloe showed .
Finally the day came . Clark dressed casually with t-shirt and jeans , packed every magical items into big trolley , got ready . Buffy told him , she will meet him at school .
Clark placed his wand in his boots since his casual clothes didn't have wandsheathe .
Jonathan gave him some sorcerer money and some dollars .
Jonathan and Martha accompanied Clark .
They took a truck to drive to metropolis, met Chloe and his parents who took car to drive to the address Zatanna gave them . Destination is particularly moldy wall in almost deserted alley .
Even though there are people , somehow they are not looking at them .
Clark and Chloe said good bye to them , knowing they can't enter from here .
All they need to do is ran through wall .
Clark can see Chloe is clearly tensed , so he first ran through the wall , which he felt like he phased through it .
For a moment all he saw is darkness then he is in a big green field . Clark looked back , in the place of wall , there is white wall of light .
It's packed with people who dressed in wizard clothes .
All of them are sorcerers , Clark can tell by their dressing and hats along with wands .
Clark can see , some of them are carrying different types brooms and some kind of pets , like owls , cats, toads etc .
In moment , Clark saw Chloe is coming out of the wall .
" This is how it looked . It's amazing. Isn't it ? " Chloe said .
Clark nodded in agreement .
Next moment there are tens of what looks like single room stylish wooden houses with large ten feet glassy wings are landed in front of them .
The house has large windows , front side there is armed cushion chair is attached to it , which accompanied by a three feet tall pretty woman who is wearing some kind of medieval green two piece clothing consist of skirt and short blouse which has golden embroidery and golden ornaments to her hands and legs . Their blond hair is decorated with different colours of flowers.
Clark can't believe his eyes . Each house has list students names written on outside of the wall with the house number .
Clark saw many students are getting into the house , checking their names .
Zatanna gave him the number of the house he need to get into .
Each house can accompany minimum twenty students .
Clark and Chloe found the house they need to get into .
Inside of the house is just one room with ten big wooden tables , each table is surrounded by four seats .
The table contains silver plates and other cutlery along with large trays of food that are enough for ten people .
Clark can see sandwiches , sausages, lamb chops , roasted chicken drumsticks , salads , bacon's , so many types juices and deserts that contain puddings , ice-creams and sweets .
Clark and Chloe took two seats . Clark can see all of them are first years except one girl , looks like she is older ,she has broomstick with her .
Clark noticed out of twenty students , seventeen are girls , only three are boys including him .
Clark can feel that his house is flying , he went near the window .
Most of them are doing same thing, wondering how fast is the house is going .
Clark can tell they are going lot faster than the knight bus .
Even though they are flying , not a single thing in the house is moving .
He is probably in miles high , since everything in below looks smaller .
While Clark is looking through window , Chloe is started talking to the girl in front of her .
Clark heard her name is Emily , her both parents are magical .
That peaked Clark's interest . Emily is explaining how their family is , she has total six sisters and one brother who is working in parliament of sorcery .
Clark learned that there is a government of sorcery , governed parliament .
Her father has three wives , working in parliament too .
She is fourth child .
She is telling them what she knew about school and magic .
Clark got thought that if he can call Buffy but he dismissed that idea . But as fter some time Clark noticed a golden shadow , that turned out to be his Buffy .
Clark can't believe Buffy came to him , when he just thought about it .
" Are you following me ? " Clark asked .
" No . But I am nearby . " Buffy replied with musical voice . Of course others can't understand the bird , only hear musical voice .
But Buffy attracted lots attention from girls .
Many of the students have owls and cats but no one has this much pretty bird as pet .
Clark gave her some of food , Buffy ate everything even meat for his surprise .
He can't believe he never offered any food to her before .
Clark's wand also got lots of attention since it's biggest wand they ever seen .
" You should change into school uniform . " Older girl , whose name is Clark learned that is Sophie.
Clark can see small changing room nearby .
First Clark changed into medieval prince like his sorcerer uniform , placed his wand into his holster like sheathe .
Then Chloe did .
Clark can see from distance that large field green with mountains , waterfalls , lakes , gardens and endless forest , in middle a big ancient looking palace like castle .
Clark already seen it but even after second time , it's amazing .
Sophie told them to leave luggage in the flying house .
" First years . " Someone shouted . Clark can't believe who is calling .
It's a beautiful 7 feet tall woman , but with four human legs , front and back and tail with horns on her blonde hair . She looks like she in her late twenties and very healthy .
Clark heard about centaurs but never thought they are real and their lower half also can be human like . He always pictured centaurs are top human , lower part is horse .
She is wearing a pointy hat , red corset and four legged warrior pants and hard boots .
" Wow . " Chloe said .
They walked to her .
" Hi everyone . I am Brianna Stark . Head of first years . Come on form a line . "
Everyone of them formed in line .
" Come follow me . " She said .
Clark noticed they are not going on the way all other students are going .
They are going through back door which is kinda small compared to large main wooden door with carvings of many creatures .
Every inch of the school is beautiful , ancient look on it .
Then Clark heard beautiful singing without lyrics .
Clark saw five women , who looks exactly identical to each other , very pretty , gorgeous red hair with pretty flowers , wearing bright white blouse around their chests and short skirt with golden embroidery design, along with golden jewelry around their necks , amazing golden bracelets around hands and legs . Rings on all their fingers and toes . Belly chain around their waist , ear rings , jem piercings at their belly buttons. Even they have jewelry along with hairline .
Clark never seen women , wearing this much jewelry .
But they are exceptionally beautiful and the music also so much ear pleasing .
" What are they ? " Chloe asked , looking at them with mesmerizing eyes .
Even Clark can feel how amazing their music is . He felt like can spend entire lifetime listening to this music .
" They are musical nymphs . They like to sing, with that they can bewitch anyone . " Brianna replied . " Moving on . First time is always hard . " She urged them .
All the first years , still in dazed state , entered the castle but for their surprise , it felt like they entered beautiful forest .
They are surrounded by green trees , he can hear ear pleasing musical noises of birds chirping .
There is big waterfall at one side , other side , beautiful mountain with clouds , other side , a flowing river with different animals , happily drinking water .
All the middle , 7 rows hundreds of tables , placed in line . Clark can tell each row for each year students .
First row is empty .
In front of them, at high stage , Clark saw teachers are seated in throne like golden chairs , in all that tallest chair , he saw most beautiful woman Clark ever seen . She is radiating with power .
" What is going on ? " Some student asked because they felt like they are in forest rather than in castle .
" It's bewitched to look like that . " Mistress Brianna replied .
But Clark can smell every flower , every tree , dirt and everything .
It's very hard to imagine it's all illusion .
" Let's Selection ceremony begins . " Mistress Brianna's voice boomed through hall , making everyone to silent .
" Selection is a process of choosing each student into different wings . Each wing will represent each quality in a sorcerer or sorceress . The wing is a place , you will do extra curricular activities , projects of your heart desire and team of your quidditch . "
Mistress Brianna moved towards a small round table which covered with glittering golden cloth , removed it , revealing a silver bow and arrow .
" All you first years you have to do is pick this bow and arrow, aim towards the sky . Based on the sparks the arrow emits , you will belong to that wing ." Brianna showed the beautiful and shiny bow and arrow then she continued .
" Each colour represents each of our founder whom we don't even know the names . Black represents bravery , courage , loyalty , head of the wing is Annabeth Walker , we call mistress Athena."
A spectacled slender woman with red hair who is in her late thirties raised from her seat . She is not tall , not short either .
Everyone clapped .
After a moment , mistress Brianna continued .
" Red represents skill and warrior . And head of the wing is Diana Swan , we call her mistress Artemis "
A tall woman , probably six feet , who looks like a Amazon warrior than sorceress .
She also wearing different clothes . No hat , a short leather red colour armour around her chest with visible midriff , leather straps around her waist with belt which has sword on one side , wand on other side , showing her long and muscular legs . Still she is one of the beautiful woman Clark ever seen .
Even without magic , no one wants to mess with her .
After the sounds of clapping is lessened , Brianna continued .
" green represents protector , will power . Head of the wind is John Scott , we call master Vulcan . " a tall and muscular white skinned man raised from his seat . He is wearing most stylish armour type leather shirt , and green pants .
" blue represents hope and beauty . Head of the wing is none other than our principal Freya , we call as mistress Frejya . "
Clark felt little strange that everyone has their own pseudo name but school name is Frejya , wing name is frejya even principal name also Frejya .
" Now let begin . "
Mistress Brianna started reading name by name , everyone whose name is called , came forward , shooting arrow in air which is emitting bright sparks . Based on the colour , they are getting coloured badge then getting seated in front row . As soon as the arrow is shot , another arrow is replacing on table .
Now Clark saw that every student is wearing is one of the badge . His eyes quickly noticed , all he can see are black , red and green badges but blue badges are very rare .
He counted six blue , all are very pretty girls . Looks like per year , one girl is selected for blue wing .
Clark heard Chloe's name is called .
" Chloe Sullivan . "
Chloe , with confident smile , she picked the bow and aimed arrow above and released the string .
Clark has to say black sparks , lot brighter other students appeared against white sky .
Mistress Brianna came to her , glued the small black badge .
Then came Clark's name .
" Clark Kent . "
Clark felt little nervous , approached the bow , he picked it , feeling lighter than expected , he adjusted arrow against bow and string .
Clark really felt like robin hood in movies , he aimed bow at sky , shot the arrow . He really wished black sparks so he will be same wing as Chloe but he is not lucky .
So much bright sparks , that almost blinded many students and teachers eyes , making them cover their eyes . But Clark noticed it's blue .
Mistress Brianna took little time to adjust herself , looked at him with little surprise in her eyes , glued the blue badge at his shoulder.
Clark is seated beside Chloe , who is talking maniacally with girl next to her .
" You know Monica is telling me that it's never happened that a boy is selected for blue wing . " Chloe said .
Clark can see each row contain one girl with blue badge .
Clark heard the blonde girl with blue badge from his next row called him . Clark moved to talk to her .
" Hi Clark . I am Karen . " She introduced herself . " That's our wing . Allura , Thea , Lily, Helen and Phoebe. Pretty small group ha . " She chuckled .
Clark can see most common thing from all of the girls is that each one is prettiest girl in their year .
Clark can see mistress Frejya raised from her seat .
" Congratulations first years . Welcome to family . " She addressed then she started giving her speech .
Clark has to say , she is very good speaker , getting everyone's attention very easily .
She is explaining the rules , forest is forbidden for first years .
" One important thing is we are cancelling the quidditch tournament this year . " Frejya announced .
Clark didn't know what exactly quidditch but from the talk with his fellow students is it's kind of magical sport .
And Clark can see almost everyone is displeased .
" Don't worry. I am sure we have more entertaining tournament will be conducted here . First time in our history , our school is participating in Triwizard tournament along with Hogwarts school of witches and wizards and beauxbatons academy of magic . For some people who don't know what it is , a champion will be selected from school and they perform series of dangerous tasks . Winner will get ten thousand galleons . It's such an honour . This tournament is conducted to improve foreign relations . I expect everyone will be on their good behaviour . "
Mistress Frejya looked at everyone . " And first years will have special surprise . " She waved her wand . So is every teacher .
Clark can see every wand is emitting a white light beam , especially mistress Frejya's is particularly bright .
All the beams are combined , combined , becoming brightest light Clark ever seen .
Clark had to squint his eyes to see that light .
then the light got divided into two beams when the beam reached middle of hall between east and west doors .
Clark saw that that two beams hit the two walls . Clark can see those doors along with walls which glow up golden for almost five minutes .
Then the doors are opened then the walls are integrated into nothing or glass .
Through the left side and right side glasses , Clark saw almost similar scene .
Left side , Clark saw a old tall man with silvery white beard which came to his knees , who raised his wand , which is emitting same type of white light and it's combined with other teachers white light .
Same thing is happening at right side too , Clark saw more than twenty feet tall woman , who has wand almost as long as his wand . It is emitting same white light , combined with light from other teachers wands .
After almost ten minutes , all the wands are lowered .
" Three schools work as same . You can go through three schools . " Frejya announced , which made lots of lots of murmur in students . " First years will attend classes from three schools as per their schedule . "
Then man with silver beard spoke , which echoed through three schools .
" Welcome to Hogwarts . I am Albus Dumbledore , headmaster of this school . "
Then voice echoed from other side .
" Welcome to Beauxbatons . I am Olympy Maxima , headmistress of this school ."
Clark is sure she is speaking French but it got translated automatically .
After their speeches are done , mistress Frejya raised and said . " Dinner is served . "
Clark can't believe his eyes . He never seen this much food .
Golden plates , silver goblets , spoons and forks appeared in front of every student .
In front of them is , large bowls of food . Chicken drumsticks , wings , roasted chicken , fried chicken, mashed potatoes , bacon , sausages , pizza slices , burgers , different types of pies , pot roasts , different types of stews , corndogs, hotdogs , delicious brisket, sandwiches , sloppy Joes, so many different types of cheeses .
There are amazing deserts too . Donuts , pancakes , pastries , puddings , ice-creams , waffles , amazing cookies .
The drinks include so many juices , lemonade , apple , grape, peach , mangos, papaya and surprisingly pumpkin .
Clark learned that they serve feast because its first day .
Clark never tasted this much food , his mother is amazing cook but that doesn't mean he tasted this much food .
Clark used to eat large amount of food , now seeing this much food , he ate twice as much as food he usually ate .
Chloe , who looked at Clark , can't help but envy him , seeing he tasted every item in large menu .
Almost after one hour , everything is vanished , leaving sparkling clean tables in front of them .
Brianna spoke . First years need to select their roommates otherwise they will be chosen randomly . Each room will accompine two students only .
Clark saw a parchment is passed between them .
Clark and Chloe picked one room .
Brianna took the first years to their rooms . Clark can how easily Brianna able to climb the steps with her four legs .
Clark can see there is a big apartment at corner of series of rooms , at corner with name tag , Brianna Stark .
Clark can't believe the room they allotted him . It has two four poster beds with curtains , 4 different sizes of pillows .
There are two reading chairs with table along with a dummy , guessing that for practice .
A large mirror with golden frame . Two medieval looking dressing cabinets , attached bathroom with bathtub .
Every item in the room has its edges designed with gold coating even the tub .
" Wow . " Chloe said , looking at the room .
Clark can't help but smile .
" I am sleepy . " Chloe jumped on the bed , mattress practically swallowed her .
Clark can see she instantly went to sleep , not even changing her clothes .
Clark is changed into his night pajama clothes , thinking that what his future will be .
