Jimmy woke up in the middle of the night from a scorching pain in on his left side. It felt as if something was burning him, or even cutting into his skin.Not able to bear the excruciating pain anymore, Jimmy got out of bed and went to the bathroom, there he lifted his shirt and saw that his skin was blistered and red from what looked like a brand mark in the shape of a crescent moon.Jimmy ran his wash cloth under cold water and gingerly placed it against his skin, but that only seemed to make the pain worse.The raven flew in after waking up and hearing him whimpering.‘’Are you ok, master?’’‘’No bird, I don’t know what this is.’’‘’This bird’s name is Fritz, and I don’t think that is a good sign. You can’t let anyone know of this.’’‘’But shouldn’t I go to the nurse?’’‘’No, this is for your own safety. This mark was given to only those who serves the darkness, and since you don’t even know any of this then it is best to not let anyone seeing it, else they will blame you for the
‘’How is the mark?’’ Marcel asked, whispering to Jimmy as they sat under a tree to soak up some afternoon sun before their next class started.‘’Oh, I almost forgot about it.’’‘’Forgot about what?’’ Petar asked, looking up for his notebook, he had sworn he had written down a spell to conjure up things from a longer distance, but it turned out he didn’t.‘’Well…’’ Jimmy began but Marcel elbowed him and shook his head.‘’It’s a secret I see,’’ Petar said after seeing the exchange between the two.‘’It really isn’t,’’ Jimmy said then lifted his shirt to expose his hip.‘’It appeared less than a month ago, I thought nothing of it until Marcel told me it was the mark of the Gens. He has one too.’’‘’Oh my God, I hope you haven’t shown it to anyone.’’Jimmy shook his head.‘’Good, because there will be consequences. Everyone is still on edge and the deaths and disappearances are making them worse.’’‘’But why did we get this mark?’’ Marcel asked, once again getting panicked.‘’Don’t you re
Jimmy was still not so good at teleportation, and that’s why when I class and was told to give it a try to move from where he was standing by the tree, to over by the pond, he found himself in the main area of Hapsarts instead.He was where the professors had their offices, and as he walked to go back outside he heard hush talking.It was coming from the door just to Jimmy’s left and out of curiosity he walked over to it.The voices from inside appeared to be having an argument.‘’You can’t back out of this; we had a deal!’’Jimmy knew that voice, it was Professor Winkle.‘’Rosa, I just can’t go through with is.’’The other voice said.‘’We both are in too deep.’’‘’Rosa, this is too dangerous and I’m afraid off what the out come might be. I am taking a step back.’’Jimmy was about to walk away, thinking that it might have just been to of his professors having a secret romance.But then he heard.‘’No! You took the blood oath; you made me do one as well. You introduced me to the shado
‘’Be sure to read up on trolls and their weaknesses, I know that it is the weekend, and you all are excited to go out into town but please don’t get too carried away.’’ Mrs. Turmon yelled, she was the mystic creature professor and the only one who didn’t want to be called a professor.‘’Jimmy let’s go. It is a miracle they are giving us a half day at school, and I heard that there is a parade in town, I don’t want to miss it.’’ Marcel spoke with so much excitement.‘’A parade?’’ Jimmy asked.Petar wasn’t fond of those parades. ‘’Yes, just wizards showing off with a firework spell and creating different things in the sky.’’‘’Oh, like a drone show,’’ Jimmy said.‘’What’s a drone?’’ Marcel and Petar asked, and Jimmy explained it to them.Petar volunteered to do the teleportation spell, taking them outside of Langdale’s first national bank.‘’Hmm, the place we first met.’’ Jimmy noted.Petar gave a sheepish look. ‘’Again, I apologize for my father.’’‘’It’s no big deal, though I think he
Jimmy looked at the journal of Lila and wondered if his spell would work, because so far all he had tried didn’t seem to give him any result.‘’Laisse ton secret etre le mien, ce que tu caches.’’Nothing happened and Jimmy thought of giving up. But then the journal began to glow and revealed all the writing it had inside.The first date was from back in the eighties, when Lila had just started attending Hapsarts.She was documenting about a new student arriving at school.‘Pan Willian. He was nothing but a human, I don’t know why they are allowing him at this school, but it seems as if the words of my father are right. Hapsarts isn’t what it used to be, but I don’t know what that will mean for us in the wizarding world. What if this boy exposes us and what is he here to do? Because humans don’t possess the same essence we do and can’t use magic.’‘He is a scrawny little thing. I don’t like him, and to top it off he doesn’t know anything about our world. Everyone picks on him and so do
“You foolish little boy! Can’t you do anything right?’’ a voice barked at Jimmy Willian.Jimmy looked at up at his lazy eyed teacher, he was scolding down on him for once again doodling ‘non-sense’ in his book. But this was something the bald, fat man who had no neck usually did.No matter what Jimmy did, he would always get yelled at by the man. Even when others were doing the same, it was as if Mr. Wall had a special pick for him.Mr. Wall ripped the paper out of Jimmy’s book and examined it closer.‘’A tree, is this what I taught you in Math class? Detention for a week!’’ Mr. Wall yelled then waddled away.‘’What? Sir, you can’t do that.’’‘’This is my classroom, my rules. If you don’t like it then that mother of yours can find a different school for you to attend.’’ Mr. Wall said before walking away.Jimmy hated the fat teacher, because all he did was yell at him and make him feel small.Mr. Wall would always compare Jimmy to others, saying how much he was a dunce and didn’t belon
‘’Wh… what have you done to my boy?’’ Mr. Wall cried.Dale now somehow looked like a horrible cross between a pig and a human boy.With huge pink hairy ears, small beady eyes, and elongated nose.Hilda looked down at her hands, not knowing that she could do anything like that.She knew that Jimmy’s father could.‘’You…you’’ Mr. Wall pointed shaking fingers at Hilda. ‘’You are just like that boy of yours.’’Hilda ran upstairs and the door to the attic opened for her.‘’Jimmy, pack your things. We are leaving,’’ Hilda said then paused after seeing a crow on the window sill and hearing Jimmy talking to it.‘’We really must go; I never expected it to start this soon.’’‘’What are you talking about?’’ Jimmy asked while stuffing his things in a bag.He didn’t have much, so it didn’t take long for him to have everything ready to go.‘’I am taking you away from here and away from Tom.’’‘Finally,’ Jimmy thought then hugged his mother.He didn’t ask why, or wanted to know what happened, all he
‘’But… I’m no wizard. This must be some sort of a mistake.’’The man said nothing, all he did was enter the largest building on the street, the outside had golden arches, with white columns.Jimmy looked around in awe, not because of how clean the place was but because there were people, books and a few other items flying around.‘’What is this?’’ Jimmy asked.‘’The magical world of Langdale, you are currently at the only bank in Langdale. Langdale’s first national bank.’’Jimmy stopped and stared at a man who was as tall as the ceiling, he had to slouch as to not hit his head on the chandelier.‘’Wow,’’ Jimmy said after passing a milky white horse that had a horn in the middle of its forehead.‘’Unicorns don’t like to be stared at.’’‘’But unicorns aren’t real,’’ Jimmy answered.A grey colour unicorn with bright pink mane and tail turned its head to look at Jimmy. He pawed the golden tiled floor and lowered its head as if ready to charge at him.The man stepped between them. ‘’Sorry
