Chapter 11: Paws Down, Wands Up

/

De – aging two characters in this. Wait till you see! Introducing???

Sheer as a thunder clap the door swung back to Chas's flat while breakfast was being managed.

"'Ello and greetins! Johnny? Did you slim down a pound? Chas! How ya been!?"

Raku dropped his vegan toast back onto its place as Ignito raised in brow just feet away, unseen by this active intruder. "Jenny? Sparks? Apollo and the –

"Yes, yes. I remember you…." John rubbed his neck as the red and British white and blue flag shirt wearing hipster waltzed up to run and smack him on the back. Like said piercing strength enough to hit harder than necessary. "Jenny Sparks! Zee , the lov called me in with your kid sized dilemma-

She peeped over to see Raku clearing up his dish. "I'm…going to just get pre –

Her eyes layered in on the long haired boy with the androgynous physique of a runway model. "Who is this lovely person." She squeaked. John turned his head as he waved out a last introduction. "Jen, this is former democrats god, and Djinn lord Azag's late son. Prince Raku –

"I am no such person, John!" Gawked the sorcerer in training. "I have to leave for t –

"Wait." John put up a hand. "This was all about the plan now, mate. Jenny isn't here to simply steal the bread and eggs from under our noses. She's coming to school, with us."

At the den coffee table, Ignito appeared while they had all unanimously decided to make this craft occur. "Raku has the power of manifestation and creation, lov. Right? So, I'm going wish that sge and I for our plan to succeed had a cover. With magic, I could do it, yet to fortify a de- aging spell-

"Wait a bloody moment, John! Age, you mean…to turn both younger." Chas sat back with a hand to his temple. "What if the spell wears off? You'll be in a college magic. One of the staff there is bound to notice your snooping about in no time."

"True, and I can pull off a teenager much easier than this old –

"Please, what can my magic do at this point on? Make it a longer process? What if you can't change back?" Raku put his hands to his knees and looked too worried after all the wrong reasons. Well, besides his mentor wanting to vpgo back to school. As a student of seventeen…

"I'd be fourteen, like you." Raku wondered. "What if my magic….Ignito might not approve !"

"He did so last night." John told the boy.

Ignito rolled his eyes.

"He said no mode than a day, and then it was done. Wishes from your lamp won't be granted on a timetable, so then." John clasped his hands together. "Let's get started. Before the bell rings."

~ I could arrange a casting; my books are numerous with my lordship knowledge – though without unil'st later…ye might of two persons, walking about those halls.~

John looked to Adam as Adam did for Ignito a question from his lips. "Pray tell, a spell? What of that? Is it risky, does it –

~ Too many questions. You exude little, confidence…~ Hissed the daemon, discouragingly slowly. "He only meant to ask if two spells in one is going to fucking benefit us at all, mate." John snorted back with a toss of his head Ignito's way. "Don't you have somewhere else to be –

~ Ah, which is why this spell works on creatures like yourself, Constantine.~ Sighed the daemon with a chuckle. ~ I am. Raku's little devil on his shoulder has no power. Here, I have split my being to appear as I told ye. Appear as a boy and a man within this facility. That should solve any dilemma regarding the duel you want to show "off" in. Might I just add also, if you do this too soon, your powers will be halved slightly. Only a short while…? ~

"Give or take, how long are we talking, then?"

~ One measly hour could suffice?~ The spirit said innocently. ~ Raku - my lord, would not mind. He rather enjoys knowing you are close enough. Maybe, too close.~ Pondered the aspect carefully, under its breath.

However he could have, Ignito was right about one thing. Michael's waiting hour would be John's demise should he accept the little gesture of good faith over humor. "Ignito, wasn't a jerk to you?"

The next day, Zee had it all mapped as Raku went with his younger self; the split Jack, and John went with Zee.

This wasn't a usual staying power of authority as the main headmaster of the academy snubbed John's appearance in a weary looking appeal, a philosophy teacher only by that appeal, Zee pretended to just ignore them. Even John, as they split in the beginning before the doors were open wide to any faculty.

Again, Adam was a dear, sweet peach as he played the right role and advised that the students could gather free lunch hour in the courtyard today.

John went and tested his attention span as he went to his assigned classroom. Occultic Measures and the Dark arts? Whoever did that sound so, cliché?

He thwarted his bag onto the desk as the pillar of seats all looked on him. Four boys and five girls. It was the advanced class. The trick was to keep Michael in it and away from Raku. Then Amber would be Zee's responsibility once Jack put the walking double – face in his place.

"You'll enjoy the view! This school was built with an aesthetical for the natural world in mind. I adore the shrubbery!" Amber let the wind toss her hair back as Raku smiled and brought his lunch to the courtyard where they could see a forest right behind. That was also for the advanced courses and older students.

Raku peered out into the woods as two figures made their romp into it.

Two, hooded figures.

"My name…" John wrote against the board as the students peered up and over to see who was in their presence.

"Is Bailey, Wyatt." Another lie. If Zee, Michael and he could at least bolder out a bit the espionage measure, why the hell not now?

"How us your grade point average to even be allowed inside these walks, sir? You looked pulled from a gutter-

"AH. I'd best not have to show you, lad." The rugged chimp in the back was a mean red head who looked angry at the world. "Clarence Dubois?"

"Best start to your day. You remember MY name, newbie."

"And I will this whole semester." John put down the chalk and turned to his students. "Listen up you sprogs. I did myself a favor. My GPA? You really wanna know? My teacher and mentor was none other than Professor Ztitz. The alumni and a head of the Royal White Vine Coven?"

"Oh…my –

"And another thing. If we WERE going to be learning how to subdue a Gryphon, mind you. How would you go about that? Pens, go!"

And an hour in….

John scratched his face of stubble as he sleepily turned to the next chapter of their text book.

"The art of attraction for instance…."

His cover was to seem less impressive. He was only here to show himself off as he had upon jumping into the role.

"Teacher?"

"Professor to you, lad." John grunted as he sat up. "Well? Out with it."

"The, the door."

They pointed at a silhouette just outside of it. John excused himself and popped over, not leaving the room but poking out his head to see Zee. She looked flustered while that, was never a good sign he had learned.

"Zee, be quick about it. Is everything alright? What happened to their lunch break?"

"John, Amber and…and Raku. They're not on campus! I can't sense them."
