school of magic

im awoken to my mom's voice. "Emily its time to get up, you need to go to houdin mall with your brother to get your school supplies." I grumble opening my eyes and nod. "ok im up." i stand up and walk to the bathroom to get a quick shower and get dressed. ripped jeans and a form fitting tank top sound amazing. I quickly apply makeup and brush my long black hair. once im finished I walk downstairs to see my brother impatiently waiting, tapping his foot repeatedly. "bout time." I give him a face and walk over to him. "shut up eric it was like 20 mins." eric my brother rolls his eyes and holds my hands. "ready to zap there." I nod and take a deep breath I hate zapping. a loud pop is heard and were no longer standing in the entrance of our house were infront of the doors to houdin mall. eric let's go of my hands. "you have your money and your list of supplies you need, cause im going to meet my friends and get my own stuff." I roll my eyes again and hold up our debit card and list. "yea and I knew you were going to leave me to fend for myself which is fine because I asked Meg to join me as she needs to get her things." eric nods and walks into the mall. I swear hes the biggest asshole. im quickly snapped out of my thoughts when someone arms wrap around my neck and theres screaming. "EMILYYYY, I missed you." megs voice rings out as shes practically in my arms. I laugh and hug her back jumping happily. my best friend, both of our parents are well known in the magical society where they work which is how we met. "you got your list meg?" she nods and we walk into the mall. "let's get our textbooks first then our wands then our uniforms." meg nods and we make our way to the book store. we walk in and are happy to see not many people are there. "well at least its not swarming with people and we dont have to push our way through." meg nods in agreement. an older looking woman with glasses and her gray hair done up in a bun approaches us smiling. "can I help you young ladies out" I smile and hand her my list. " we need entry to potions, entry to transfiguration, entry to defense, entry to magical creatures and basic spells," she takes my list smiling. "two of each coming up, I always have stacks ready for the first years coming through." she walks to the checkout with us following behind her. "cash or debit." she says as she puts each of our books in our own bags. "I have debit." I hand her my debit card and she scans it. the transaction goes through and I grab my bags of books and move out of the way for meg to do her own transaction. meg hands her her debit card and grabs her bag smiling. "alright books done now for our wands." she says giggling. I laugh and we walk out of the store happily. "why isn't your brother helping." she says when she sees him down the hall with a group of friends. "you know how he is. too cool to be seen with a sister just starting when hes in his final year." I laugh. "gotta keep up appearances you know." I say mocking him in a manly tone. meg laughs and we walk into the wand store. the place is huge with boxes of wands lying open on the shelves glistening from the lighting hitting their new varnish. "im so excited." I say as I run up to a shelf with some wands. a short lady who looks fresh out of magic school walks out from the back. when she sees us she smiles happily. "look around. your wand will stand out to you. some people said they see a light others notice a sparkling. some say it moves. youll know its yours when you see it." I start looking around the shelves carefully trying to pay attention to each one. I suddenly feel a pull or an inkling to another side of the store so I start making my way over there. once I reach the isle I know my wands there as a box is shaking around so much it looks like its trying to fall off the shelf. I look around and just have the urge to hold me hand out so thats what I do. suddenly the wand surges over to me landing in my hand and I grasp it smiling. I feel a surge of something through my body and I walk over to the now empty box and pick it up, carrying it to the cashier. "do you help make the wands?" I ask placing the box on the counter. she laughs. "oh no thats my grand dad that makes them hes the wand maker. hes teaching me though so I can take over." I nod. "thats a really good wand by the way. 10 inches. maple wood, felgon fur." "felgon?" I ask. "powerful creature. many people say its a mix between a type of feline and dragon. has the body of a large cat like a panther or lion and dragon wings." meg walks over to us and places a box down smiling. "you were right about the sparkling." the cashier laughs and rings up the total for megs wand. meg quickly pays for the wand. "it was nice meeting you two have a great year at school." the cashier says as we start walking out. "alright uniforms." I say looking at meg as shes practically skipping beside me, her brown hair flying everywhere as she goes. "im so excited em, for everything. even the schoolwork." I laugh and follow her towards the clothing store. when we walk in a middle aged lady walks over to us. "first years?" we both nod and she ushers us to a room with to podiums to stand on and a curtain seperating the two podiums. she quickly grabs out measurements "stand here and wait a moment." we nod and watch her quickly walk out. when she returns her arms are full with shirts, blouses, skirts, pants, shorts, and two large cloaks she places them on a chair in my area and then walks out again only to shortly come in with the same items but a different size placing them on the chair for meg. "alright girls try them on." I take my clothes off and pull the skirt on. its finger tip length and royal blue. I try the black blouse on concerned about it fitting around my bust. once its done being buttoned as expected its a little tight around the bust. the seamstress looks at me and pulls her wand out and points it at the shirt around my chest. "enlargio" she shirt suddenly fits perfectly and I smile happily. its always been hard finding a blouse that fits because of my chest. the rest of the clothes go the same with the seamstress either shrinking things or enlarging them. once we tried all the clothes on she asks if we want duplicates of anything. I ask if she can duplicate everything for me and meg asks for the same. once we're all paid we walk out with all our bags. "shall we go to the food court and relax?" I ask. meg nods. "im starving its been a day." as we're walking to the food court we notice a boy sitting down. hes got short brown hair and glasses with big ears. hes freaking out over something. "what do you thinks wrong with him?" meg asks. I shrug. "dunno let's go find out." I grab her arm and walk over to him. "hey are you ok?" he quickly stands up and looks at me and meg. "I lost my list and im already running behind schedule and now I dont know what to buy and its my first year." I give a small chuckle and pull my list out of my pocket. "here you can have mine. were also first years. im Emily and this is meg." meg smiles and waves slightly at him. "im eren. thank you so much your life savers. I dont know what id do if it wasnt for you girls." "well you've got your wand so all you need is the book store and shes already got the books prepared for first years and then you just need your uniforms." eren nods. "Emily! what are you doing talking to Dumbo over here." I feel an arm wrap around my waist and a voice i know all to well. Tom feltz. I look up and see his sandy blonde hair thats not short but not long either and striking blue eyes. I push him off me. "dont call him that his names eren." meg grabs erens arm. "em im going to take him to finish his stuff while you deal with him." she says pronouncing the him differently. I watch her drag eren away who keeps looking back when tom holds my chin up to look at him. I quickly push his hand away. "aw dont be like that em" he says laughing. "why are you being such an ass?" I say crossing my arms. "dont know what you mean." "you called eren Dumbo. thats pretty assholeish." tom shrugs. "we haven't spoken in over a year so why now?" tom looks at me. I notice a flash of what looks like pain or sadness cross his face which he covers up by smirking. "I started my first year last year i was busy you didnt cross my mind." "well then keep it that way. didnt know you and my brother were so alike." I say rolling my eyes and walking towards the food court. tom runs after me and grabs my arm. "hey i didnt mean it like that." "like what? like you started magic school and suddenly your too good for me? is that what you meant by didnt mean it like that? if so what did you mean?" I say looking at him. tom scratches the back of his head. I was just busy. suddenly a girls voice screams out. "Tommy! I've been looking for you." she says with almost a whine. I look over at her and shes tall and blonde. showing alot of cleavage and short shorts as shes running toward tom. I look up at him. "your busy is here." I walk passed and away from him to go find a table to sit at and wait for meg to find me. meg and eren show up a minute or two later with bags. "you ok em?" meg says sitting beside me. "yea im ok." I say smiling. "so whats the deal with that." eren says sitting on the other side of me. "we grew up together. our parents are best friends. spent alot of time with his family, traveling and holidays etc. he used to be really nice, im sorry about what he called you." eren shrugs. "all good I have really big ears I like my ears." he says laughing.
