Ok well here it is. I'm sooo sorry about the loooong wait :( I will try to update quicker next time. Here's chapter 2...
It was all settled. Flora's parents had written back to Farragonda. Flora was due to catch the train on the 1 of September.
Flora, her parents and Helia were going to Magix today, to get her school things.
They were walking down the main street of downtown Magix.
'Now Flora can you read out your booklist for me please?' her mother asked.
'Ok' Flora said, taking out her book list. 'Ok it says here I need:
'Standard book of spells Vol. 1' by Lily Darvish
'Useful charms and easy spells Vol.1' by G.R.T.Y. Oldman
'Care of magical creatures Vol.1' Robert DooHickey
'The history of the magical dimensions' by Olga Quogla.
'1001 Potions And antidotes' by Bilius Barvy.
'30 must know languages' by Elena Gillinoff
'Darkness is out there' by Larvano Urf
'magical plants and funghis' by Graham Moffo
Students must also have:
1 standard iron cauldron
Standard potion making ingredients
30 non-magic pens
15 note pads (more may be needed)
If students want they may have a pet but it must be smaller than a horse and it can not breathe fire/have more then 5 babies per year. (there are exceptions). If student has a bonded pixie they are permitted to bring them, as pixie village is hidden in the pine woods surrounding Alfea.
No school uniform is required at Alfea.' Flora finished reading out the letter.
'Right then, let's start at 'Eleon's' the magical bookshop.' Emily (Flora's mother) suggested.
They all stepped into a big sky blue building, with about 50 posters stuck in the window advertising new books coming into the shop and famous authors signing books, as well as a used magic carpet for sale, a how to care for your unicorn class and many more strange things.
Inside, the shop was crammed with books of all sorts, stacked all the way up to the 20ft ceiling. There was a strong smell of dust and Flora was sure she could hear a stack of books near her growling.
'Mom?' Flora asked. 'Yes?' Emily replied. 'How are we meant to find ANYTHING in this shop?' Flora asked. 'Easy, we'll just ask an assistant for help.' Emily replied, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
At that moment a pale girl who looked about her mid-twenties, came out from a door at the side of the shop, she had ice blonde hair which she had in 2 plaits and she was wearing a blue shirt with 'Eleon's written on it in silver letters, with a pair of skinny jeans and converse.
She smiled when she saw them, and came over. 'Hello and welcome to Eleon's, My name is Hayley, and how can I help you?' she asked smiling, a very shiny smile. 'Yes, we're looking for these books' Emily said handing over Flora's book list.
'Oh, your starting at Alfea? I remember when I first started there, I accidentally froze the fountain on the first day.' Hayley said smiling sheepishly. 'I'm the fairy of ice.' she added.
'I remember I made a tree sprout right on the stage, when the headmistress was doing her big welcoming speech' Emily laughed.
Hayley giggled, it always is havoc on the first day.' she said. Tell me about it.' Emily sighed, and they both laughed.
'I'll go get your books' said, and she walked back through the side door. She came out around 10 minutes later carrying a big stack of books.
Emily left Flora and Helia standing at the door, while she went with Hayley to pay for the books.
'This is amazing.' Helia said, with a look of disbelief on his face. 'What's amazing?' Flora asked.
'A month ago, if someone told me that there was a whole other world of magical dimensions, schools for fairies and heroes, shops where you can buy spell books and potion making ingredients and that I would be going there with my best friend, to buy stuff for her new fairy school, I'd tell them they were insane. This is just so surreal.' he said looking around.
'I still can't believe I'm going there WITHOUT you...' Flora sighed.
'Flora we've been over this. I really don't mind-' 'Righteo then,' Helia was interrupted by Emily carrying a bag absolutely Stuffed with books.
'Next we'll get your potion ingredients so,' Emily led them towards a shop that was painted black with peeling gold letters that read ' 's Potion Making Emporium'
Inside the shop was dimly lit by lanterns on the walls, and there were rows and rows of different potion making ingredients, from shimmering black beetles at 10cent each, to glowing unicorn horns at €100 each.
They got what they needed quick enough, with the help from a very sour shop assistant, with greasy black hair and a hooked nose (We all know who that is, and if you don't you seriously have to read a book. Copyright J.K Rowling.)
The last shop they went to was the magical pet store 'Miss Mitten's Magical Pet Shop' As it had recently been Flora's birthday her mother had decided to get her a magical pet as a birthday present.
The shop was full of amazing animals. From cute little animals zooming around the store (think season 4), to jump-roping mice and colour changing bunnies.
After a very long time looking at all the furry creatures, Flora settled for a cute flying pink cat, and as an extra her mother bought her a flowery headband for it. Flora decided to name her Coco.
'Now your father is meeting us at a restaurant just down here...' Emily said to Flora and Helia Leading them down a side street.
They walked into a pretty normal looking restaraunt and saw Daniel (Flora's dad) sitting at a table in the corner. He nodded at Emily for some reason.
When they had all taken a seat and ordered. Flora's parents looked very excited about something.
'So do you like Magix?' Daniel asked Flora and Helia. 'Yeah it's really cool.' Helia said, answering for the both of them.
'Well we were wondering if you two would like to go on a little holiday here, at a resort down the road. You know, just to get used to it here. We've already checked with your parents Helia, and they said that if you'd like to come they're completely fine with it.' Daniel said. Him and Emily Grinned.
Flora and Helia looked at each other for one brief second, making up their minds instantly.
'We'd love to.' they both said, simultaneously.
