After Breakfast in the Morning, Stella had some urgent matters to attend to, so she could no longer follow Annie to meet Captious, so she asked Adrian to send Annie to his Office.
"I'm so sorry dear, something came up" said Stella as she apologized while arranged documents that were on her desk.
"It's fine Aunt Stella, I understand" said Annie as she smiled.
"Thank you dear, but don't worry I will send Adrian to take you to his office, so you don't get lost" said Stella
"Okay Aunt" said Annie
"Adrian, please escort Annie, to Professor Captious Office" said Stella as she called for Adrian
"Yes my chancellor" said Adrian as he bowed.
"Annie please come with me" said Adrian
"Okay, see you Aunt Stella" said Annie
"Bye dear" said Stella
Annie followed Adrian to a part of the Palace that she had never been to before, this part of the Palace looked very quiet and serious.
It had a more cold Political vibe to it, Annie could see many other rooms as they were passing by, there were different paintings of other Witches hanged on the walls.
Annie even saw a painting of Stella as she was passing by, but she did not have enough time to admire it, since Adrian was walking fast and she did not want to get lost in this part of the palace.
"We are here" said Adrian as he stopped by a door.
"Okay Thank you Adrian" said Annie as she smiled
"You are welcome" said Adrian as he turned and left to his way.
Annie knocked on the door and she heard a "come in" so she turned the doorknob and entered the Office.
"Good Morning Professor Captious?" said Annie as she walked into the room.
She excepted to see a very serious old man, sitting on his desk with a serious expression on his face but instead what she got, was a man with grey hair, he seemed to be looking for something and his office was a mess.
"Ahhh hello" said Captious as he turned to look at Annie and he went back to trying to find what he was looking for.
"Umm Professor Can I help you?" asked Annie as she saw that he was acting very strange.
"Ahh yes my girl, I am looking for my glasses and I cannot seem to find them anywhere" said Captious
"Ahhh" said Annie as looked around the Office and she caught sight of something on the desk.
"Is this it?" asked Annie as she picked up a pair of blue rimmed eyeglasses.
Captious squinted his eyes and they seemed to adjust to the object in Annie's hand.
"Ahh yes Thank you" said Captious as he cleaned the glasses with a little cloth.
"Your welcome Professor" said Annie
"Ahh this is very embarrassing" said Captious as he fitted his glasses on his nose
"Haha, why didn't you just use magic to find them?" asked Annie as she laughed
"Well, that seemed to skip my mind" said Captious as he finally adjusted his glasses and he could see well now.
"Ahh you are Annie?" asked Captious
"Yes Professor" said Annie
"Ah it's so nice to finally meet you" said Captious
"My name is Captious and I am also your Uncle" said Captious as he smiled.
"Huh?? my Uncle?" asked Annie in disbelief as far as she knew, she did not have any Uncles or Aunties that were related by blood.
"Yes, actually I am your great uncle" said Captious
"You see, I am your father's Uncle, his father's brother" explained Captious
"Ahhhh that's so cool, I never thought that I would have a relative that's a Professor and also part of the High Council" said Annie
"Yes, and it is also very nice to meet you Annie" said Captious
"So since your my dad's Uncle I should call you Great Uncle?" asked Annie
"No That makes me sound too old" laughed Captious
"Okay" said Annie as she laughed
"So I will just call you Uncle Captious then" said Annie
"I agree with that" said Captious
"Right now let's get down to business" said Captious as he sat down and gestured that Annie sit right across him.
"I will be your potions and theory teacher" said Captious
"Okay Uncle" said Annie with a smile.
"So what do you know about potions?" asked Captious
"Well absolutely nothing" said Annie plainly
"Oh dear" said Captious as he laughed.
"Well then we need to start at the basics" said Captious
"So would you please go to the shelf over there and take the first book on the right in the third step of the shelf" said Captious
"Okay Uncle" said Annie as she stood up and took the book that Captious was talking about.
"That book contains all you need to know about the basic potion ingredients, what they do and what should not be mixed, before we can go any further you need to know all the basics" said Captious
"Okay Uncle" said Annie as she looked at the book.
"Well then this was a very short first lesson, your homework is to get to chapter 5 of that book and then tomorrow we can start with actually mixing potions" said Captious
"Okay Uncle" said Annie as she smiled and Captious smiled too. To think that he had missed out on bonding with his family because of a stupid grudge that he had was saddening, but luckily he had another change and this time he would be there for his family.
"Well then Annie, you can go now" said Captious
"Okay Uncle, see you tomorrow and Thank you" said Annie as she smiled.
"Your welcome Annie" said Captious as he smiled back.
Meanwhile later in the day in Annie and Maddie's room.
"Ooh so how was meeting with another member of the High Council other than Aunt Stella?" asked Maddie
"Ahh well it was nice, it turns out that Professor Captious is my great Uncle" laughed Annie
"What a small world" she said
"Wow really?? my gosh you are lucky, I thought he would be the type to give you a hard time" laughed Maddie
"No he was very nice, and he gave me this book to study" said Annie as she showed Maddie the book
"Ahh it looks so cool" said Maddie
"I know right? and tomorrow he said that we will mix potions" said Annie
"Ughhhh soo cool, I wish I could come, I have never made potions before" said Maddie
"Ooh maybe you can, I can ask Uncle Captious" said Annie
"You would?" asked Maddie
"Of course I would" said Annie
"Oooh Thank you, Thank you, Thank you" said Maddie
"Haha Your welcome" laughed Annie
