While Kate was drinking some tea, her husband was having his morning coffee in the living room when Paul walked inside the room with a lot of old newspapers. Jon look at his father in wonder, trying to figure out why would his old man bring all of those antic newspapers from up in the attic.
"Dad, what are you doing with those?"
"What are your thoughts on what Thomas revealed to us last night?"
"Honestly, it's a lot to digest and even now, I can barely believe what he had told and shown us. I mean, did you ever think that one day we would witness magic? On the other hand, there seems to exist a whole society around this very thing that we thought was just a fantasy? However, as my dear wife said last night, we would always stay by his side, no matter how hard or how scary the path is going to walk would become."
Before Paul could speak, Kate pick one of the newspapers before smacking it into her husband's head for saying those words, as if she would ever abandon her baby. Seeing how stupid his son can be, Paul only shook his head before sitting in one of the empty chairs.
"Let him be, dear. Jon has never been one to realize his mistakes until after he got bitten in the ass by them. Anyways, I brought those newspapers because I remember reading some of them about strange things happening all over England years ago. Thomas's outburst made me remember a particular incident, which involved the old fisherman, Oliver. He left one night to fish early in the morning and came back after a month looking all skinny and speaking only strange words about monsters that live in the deeps."
"You can't possibly believe all that nonsense father. Everyone knew that Oliver was a lunatic, besides god knows what he did in his early years back in the states. The man fought in both world wars dad and died just a few years ago at a hundred and five years old. He was as crazy as one could be."
"And yet, last night what we saw could put us in a mental institute since no one would believe us. Maybe you are right, but what if you are wrong, what if there's more than just people doing magic? What if my grandson would be in danger because of them? I need to know so that we could learn as much as we could about this whole thing, considering that we don't know anything about his powers."
Suddenly the trio heard footsteps coming down the stairs. When they turn around, they saw a still sleepy young boy making his way down towards them.
"Morning mommy, dad, grandpa."
"Good morning, dear. Take a seat next to your mother. We have something to talk about with you."
Almost instantly, Thomas's sleepy state disappeared, instead, a curious look appeared on his face, as he was wondering what his dad was going to ask him or have him do. Though if he were to bet on something, it would mostly be related to his magical incident from last evening.
[Sweetheart, your dad, and grandpa were just talking about what will happen in the future. Since your grandma said that you have a book, does that book says something about a place where kids like you could go to learn about magic?]
"In the first few pages, there were some schools mentioned, but for some reason one of the most popular schools was a castle named Hogwarts. Apparently, when a kid that has magical powers would become eleven years old he would get a letter of acceptance to that school. While I'm pretty sure that I would end up there, I was planning on talking with uncle Touji today about it, since he or aunty Myra might know more about this subject."
"Touji? Like in the Touji Shidou, the priest that move here a few months ago?"
"The Shidous are grandpa and grandma's neighbors."
[Sweety why do you think that uncle Touji might know something about this magical school?]
"I promise uncle Touji that I will not tell anyone about this, but you are my mommy and daddy as well as my grandpa and I trust you. Uncle Touji and aunty Myra are part of the church, another supernatural organization like Hogwarts, at least I think so. Uncle Touji told me that when he asked me a few questions shortly after Irina and I start playing."
"That explains a lot about why he became the priest of this town, especially when we had one. Sorry, Tommy for keeping you up from going to play with your girlfriend. Now off you go, let the adults talk a bit."
"Grandpa!"
Thomas run into the kitchen and ate some cereal with milk before leaving the house, running towards Irina's home. As soon as he got there, he noticed that there was no car parked in the driveway, making him believe that maybe Irina and her family might be out. Just as he was about to turn around, he heard Touji's voice.
"Hoh, Thomas? Didn't your grandma tell you that Irina and Myra are going to London for some shopping?"
"Well, I didn't exactly talk with grandma today, besides…my parents found out about my powers."
As soon as he heard those words, Touji run outside and dragged the young boy into the house fearing that someone might hear him. Once he was sure that no one heard Thomas, Touji sit in front of the young boy looking at him with a serious look on his face.
"How did that happen?"
"It was an accident. It happened while I was crying in my mom's arms. Every object in the room start floating scaring everyone, after that, I told them everything I knew."
"Hah… I take it you told them about us too, right?"
Thomas lowered his head in shame fearing that he might have put the Shidous in danger, considering their line of work. Contrary to what he thought would happen, Touji put his hand on the boy's shoulder.
"Don't worry about that. It was bound to happen, considering that you are part of the supernatural. Besides, now Irina can come and visit you whenever she can, without having to lie. Isn't that great?"
Hearing what Touji just said, made Thomas blush before he turned his head away, trying to hide his embarrassment.
"So, Thomas, do tell me, what's on your mind? Despite what happened yesterday, you seem troubled by something."
"Uncle Touji, I was wondering if you know anything about Hogwarts or at least something about the magical society here in the UK."
"The magical community is ruled by pure-blood families as they call themselves, who hate any and all people that aren't part of their family just because they didn't get born with a silver spoon. As for Hogwarts, it's one of the best schools for young wizards and witches to learn about magic. If I knew that you would come today to ask me about this, I would have had Myra take you with her. She and Irina went to buy some things that aren't available for normal people, maybe you could have gotten your wand as well. Well, I would come with you to talk with your parents about a trip to the magical side of London in the coming days to get you some basic stuff that a young wizard might need."
