As Willow and Arista met outside the class, Arista told Willow about Raven joining the class. Willow was surprised but as they were talking Raven bumped into them on purpose.
"Hiya girls, What's up?" said Raven
"Well, hi to.." Willow was about to answer but was cut in between by Raven
"I am, in top of everything" grinned Raven
"I mean Miss Dazzle said so herself that you are old- Willow tree, afterall a tree can't live that long to be one of my kind. Oh! Why have you chickened out-..Arista"
Arista was about to go red and punch her in the face but as an alternative Willow held her had and whispered in her ear to stay clam and told her that she looked more braver when she is calm.
To Raven's surprise Arista replied calmly "I am not speaking now because I don't talk to people who live in under my shoes..with the dirt and..I thought you said you were higher than me. Oh! that's right you were before I was born...past tense..and FYI Trees live longer than birds." and walked out with Willow.
The look on Raven's face was worth seeing as Willow and Arista walked out on her. The whole coridor who heard this was laughing till they were on the floor. But Raven was boiling hot..
"Under her shoes... she's higher than me..." said Raven
"Hey girl! It's Arista who usually repeats you not the other way around" said Zenna
"But gotta admit she was pretty cool" said Saza
"You think this is funny, I'll show her" replied Raven angerily..
Raven was pretty angery, probably wanted to take revenge but on the other hand Willow and Arista were very happy. Willow was perfectly satisfied with herself. She decided to use this technique more often than the anger but it could be questioned in Willow's mind. As they were talking Miss Dazzle came up to them and wanted to talk to Willow and she agreed.
Miss Dazzle and Willow went to their classroom where no one was there at all. Miss Dazzle sat on her chair and made Willow sit on a desk nearby.
"Miss Dazzle what do you wanted to talk about?"
"Nothing special my dear, just a job I was given."
"I don't quite understand Miss Dazzle.."
"I didn't think you would, not yet but let's move on"
Then Miss Dazzle took out a wand from her bag and started reciting:
"Don't snatch,
Don't you dare take a look.
Be a dear
And go and grab that book."
Then a collection of books appear in front of her. She goes through all of them. Then makes them all disappear execpt two. One - which is red vol:3 shelf line:9( The other si..). She was only able to read this much when Miss Dazzle put the red book in her bag gave the other to Willow. She took book which read: The Greatest Cosmic Wizards and Witches.
"Mam, what is this?"
"Oh! magic, everyone knows that there can be no witch without magic. Infact every girl born a witch gets her wand and this year you guys will too..''
"What!..We will,..,no that I am not exited but..um.. about the book"
"Dear Willow, In this book I highlighted few of the pages, they contain information about..um.. your parents."
"Wait. what? You knew my parents..Why have you never..?"
"Sweetie, you need to understand..Everyone knew your parents, dear. But they don't know is that you're their daughter...a d besides your mom was my friend, best friend actually and your parents did not wanted me to tell you the truth till you.. you were ready..I thought that catching a Dracotoil was ready enough.."
"You mean they left me on..on purpose.."
"No..no..my dear, there were complications.. they needed to battle the King Terror.. but..they died"
"Oh! um.. thank you..Miss Dazzle..I really appreciated that.."
Saying this she went out of the class excusing herself from Miss Dazzle's company.
She went where Arista was waiting for her. Raven was just in the corridor and was startled to see Willow- Miss Dazzle's favourite student, crying her way out of her class. Arista was also surprised to see Willow sobbing. She didn't bother asking about the book or what happened till the reached home.
Arista's mother was waiting for them to return and had gotten a worried when they were late.
"What do you two have to say for yourself? Did you even bothered to ring me if you were late, you also didn't
pick my calls. I was worried sick.." she started shouting as they were just a few steps away from her but stopped as she noticed Willow's red eyes and came to know that she was crying.
As Willow entered the she again saw a pair of green eyes in the dark but didn't even noticed them. Mrs Eles asked what happened and asked Arista if she anything to do with it but to her surprise Arista replied:
"I also don't know mother, I didn't ask her. I thought that it was best not to disturb her.. she is like this since she talked to Miss Dazzle..got that book from her."
Willow went straight to her and didn't came out till dinner was served. She didn't answer to the knocks of Arista as well as Arista's mother's. They to give her some time alone.
When Willow came down she still had the book with her. She sat down beside Arista and apologized for not answering. They both quickly forgive her and asked what the problem was.
Willow told them everything and asked Mrs Eles if she knew anything about this.
"No my dear, I did not..but to think of it then it is easy to understand why you got nature's blessing being daughter of Mrs Mesfire and Mr Jacobson?"
