Mason read through it once. Then he started to say it out loud. For once, everything was silent, and Mason could feel-everything-
listening, their energies seemed to lean in toward the young boy. When he finished, Mason said thanks, though not quite sure why. It
just seemed like the right thing to do.
"You're welcome," the voice said in his ear.
A grin spread across Mason'slips, and now he knew why Raven was happy-most of the time. "With great power comes great
responsibility," he said softly. Mason wondered if spiderman was a wizard. "What do I do, now," he wondered aloud.
"If I might suggest," the spy set, aka wizard's manual, replied via the earpiece.
"Go on," Mason said excitedly.
"You have a thing for language. Would you like to learn the Wizarding Speech?"
"Oh, please," responded Mason. Through the night until morning, Mason studied as if he were going to have an exam on the Speech,
though it certainly wasn't an ardruous task.
Raven grinned when he saw Mason's name finally appear in the local wizard listing. "All right," he cheered, happy for his friend. It
had just turned midnight and, while there were no classes tomorrow, he was still sleepy. So Raven read until his eyes closed, hi
Wizard's Manual (that used to be a navigator) laying on his chest. And, for once, Raven didn't have to worry about hiding it or
turning it off.
