"Are you sure you don't need another bag?"
"Yes, I'm sure, Mama."
"I-I can come with you two. See the school."
"They won't allow you, Mrs B."
"It's like a massive invisible electric fence, you know?"
"Okay." Rosalyn nodded slowly.
"Mrs B, I'll look after her."
"Just call me Rosalyn."
"I will look after her, Rosalyn. Evie'll shine in L-FAM."
Rosalyn hugged her daughter again for a little while longer as Claire smiled and activated the portal. Rosalyn looked at it in wonder.
"No matter what happens, I am so proud of you, my sweet little angel."
"Bye, Mama."
Claire held Evelyn's hand as they entered the portal and soon Rosalyn was left alone, standing at that very spot, but the portal wasn't glowing now, and Evelyn and Claire were no longer there.
"I cannot believe you only brought two suitcases and a backpack."
"One's for clothes and shoes, the other's for any other stuff and my backpack is for stuff like my phone."
"The New-Blood year is going to be so fun. And we can go to both Lunaris and Elysian Harbour."
The two witches walked from the portal to the college they visited just days ago. Claire smiled at her friend as they both entered through the prestigious and ethereal gates of the LeFay Academy of Magic. There was a line of students, male and female, being checked in by a male professor, wearing a tweed suit, but could be merely visible, since he was sitting behind a desk.
"Next!" He shouted.
Claire and Evelyn walked to the desk where the professor sat.
"Hi Professor Mooney." Claire said.
"Girls. Your names please."
Claire rolled her eyes. "You know my name."
"We take precautions." Professor Mooney responded, looking at the two young women.
Clairw scoffed and waved her hand up and down her figure "Seriously? Claire deLuna, Crown Princess of Lunaris and solar light witch."
"Evelyn Annalise Blake, citizen of Elysian Harbour... in Australia... Earth recently discovered witch." Evelyn chuckled
"Yes, Headmistress Spellmont informed us of a recent addition to the incoming New-Bloods. You can go through now. Your bags are already waiting in your dorm, Miss deLuna."
Professor Mooney gave the girls a little basket that contained school information, such as a rule book, dorm pamphlets and little booklets.
"Thanks, teach." Claire replied.
Claire and Evelyn walked in the school's courtyard, where Claire jumped in joy around her friend.
"Oh, my little witchy friend, welcome to our school and world."
"I feel like I just stepped into a Harry Potter fan fiction."
"Who's Harry Potter and what's fan fiction?"
"Short story, Harry Potter is a kid wizard who attended a magic boarding school, and fan fiction is.... sort of a Earth thing."
"Ah. Well, we're all adults here, attending a university that has seen the education of many infamous characters throughout Hecatia's history. The Emperors of Hecatia, Headmistress Spellmont, the professors, almost every good or neutral witch, warlock, merperson and elf have all attended this school."
"Are there other schools?" Evelyn asked.
"Naturally. There's the Basileus College of Sorcery and the Erebus Institute of Evil. Remember that Erebus focuses on teaching witches and warlocks the evil magic, and to use what they learn to speak evil and continue the prejudices humans have against us."
"Whereas we want to give peace and coexist."
"Exactly!"
"Oh! Looks like we're in the same dorm." Evelyn exclaimed.
"Really? I'm on the fifth floor, number 13."
"513 too. 'Each dorm can house up to a total of seven students. If you do not have six other roommates, call the dorm's phone and contact us about bed removal.' I guess we get 5 more roommates."
"Great! We can expand your social network here."
"I admit it would be good to have more than one friend in this world."
"There we go!" Claire exclaimed happily.
