Magic Lesson
A guest asked for a oneshot where Regina is teaching Emma and Hanna about magic.
Emma and Hanna were at Regina's this afternoon for a magic lesson. Emma had most of her magic pretty well under control, but there were still many things she needed to learn. Hanna, of course, was just starting out. She had a few lessons with Emma, but she wanted to see what Regina could teach her.
"Alright, the both of you are fairly proficient at making objects appear in your hands if they're close by, but now I want you to try summoning something that is farther away."
Hanna looked up at her sister, not so sure she'd be able to do this. Sure, she had made an apple from Regina's kitchen appear in her hand just a second ago. And Emma was able to get Henry's storybook that was all the way upstairs in his bedroom without a problem. But could they do what Regina was asking? Hanna could tell by the look on Emma's face that she wasn't so sure she could do this either.
"How far are we talking?" Emma asked Regina.
"Try to summon something from your bedroom at home," Regina said with a shrug of her shoulders.
"But the loft is clear across town," Emma complained.
"Yeah that's pretty far. I don't know," Hanna said, shaking her head.
"Well if you have an attitude like that, you'll never be able to do it," Regina said, raising her eyebrows at the girls. "Now, I don't give hope speeches like your mother, so just go ahead and try."
"Alright," Emma and Hanna said at the same time. They both closed their eyes and thought of an object that was in their bedrooms at home. They thought really hard about holding that object in their hands, and after a few seconds they could both feel themselves holding what they had pictured.
"Well isn't that cute," Regina said with a grin when she saw both girls had summoned their baby blankets.
"Wow, I actually did it," Hanna said with a smile as she snuggled her blanket close.
"Uh…I meant to get the hoodie that was on my bed, but this was right beside it so…" Emma was a little embarrassed that she had summoned her baby blanket instead.
"Well, you did it. That's all that matters. Now, send them back to where they were," Regina ordered.
"No." Emma and Hanna's eyes went wide, and they shook their heads as the same thought occurred to them.
"What if we don't get them back in the right spot?" Hanna asked. "I don't want my blanket to get lost."
"Can't you just do it?" Emma asked her.
"Seriously, Emma?" Regina asked with a raise of her eyebrows.
Emma just bit her lip and looked over at her sister…maybe they could send the blankets back to the right spot themselves? Hanna just shook her head. She didn't want to take the chance. What if their blankets ended up in Granny's oven or on Grumpy's coffee table? They could go anywhere. Emma gave Regina a pleading smile and shrugged her shoulders.
"Oh fine," Regina said with a roll of her eyes. With a wave of her hand she sent the blankets away.
"Are you sure they're…" Emma started to ask.
"I can assure you Miss Swan, the blankets are safely back on your beds," Regina told her with a smile.
"Thanks," the girls said, feeling relieved. They couldn't deny it…they loved their blankets and wouldn't be able to sleep tonight without them.
