Chapter 19: Cassandra

Headmaster Eliphas clapped and for once I thought he was actually pleased with me.

"Nice work," Oliver said when I returned to my seat.

We then went over the other elements, Headmaster Eliphas using each student as an example, Oliver eventually drenching both him and the headmaster in a water spell. Headmaster Eliphas left the classroom for several minutes before returning in dry clothes. I wondered why he didn't just use magic to dry himself off, but I sensed he needed a break from us.

When he returned to the classroom, Headmaster Eliphas went to the board. "You'll be working in pairs this semester. Pairs are as follows: Oliver and Ruby. Braeden and Kyler. Dash and Cassandra." He faced us and seemed to be waiting for a reaction. Dash gave one by sighing. "Each pair will be assigned a wizard or warlock. You'll treat him or her as you would treat me. They are your mentors for the semester. Treat them right, and you'll do fine. Be a bunch of jackoffs, and you'll be in my office."
