Chapter 12 : Magical Beginnings at Leonheart House

A guy standing near the fountain. Hmmmm... Who's this guy ? Is it the one Victoria was talking about? He's waving in my direction.

" Yo! Leonheart freshman? "

I replied " Yeah, hi . I'm looking for the head of leonheart house. Is that you? " 

He answered" precisely, so . My name is Elijah bloom . But you can call me el , I am a third year student and the new head of of the leonheart house. What about you? " 

" I'm James pogger. Nice to meet you. "

" Same to you !"

Despite looking around, I couldn't spot the girls. " where's Haley and lily? " 

He replied " oh , I see you already know other newcomers! The Asian chick felt sick after the ritual.... so the other one took her to the lady's room.

Anyway, don't let this ruin your moment! Congratulations. Glad that leonheart chose you . You have no idea how lucky you are, boy ! 

Leonheart has the craziest parties , seas of booze and fairy dust . Hot Chicks who are just wait to get into your pants and feel your nobility in themselves "

That's great actually . " Excellent, where do we start ? "

" Wow , first day in nortale and you are already eager to fight. I respect that, but don't be in hurry. The headmaster strictly forbids hazing newcomers on the very first day .

He says that this will put an end to all the magicians , so there won't be a party tonight. "

I expressed my disappointment in response." ohhhh....I see "

" Listen James pogger. I've got a good feeling about us. "

That's a weird thing to say" What do you mean? " 

" I think this is the beginning of a great friendship. As the new head of the Leonheart house "

He pulled out his phone to capture a selfie with me." I'm inventing the new traditions ! Selfies ! "

I said " You kidding, right? " Gosh , seems like he's not... anyway, I need to choose a cool pose..

Tchkk...damn ..." Hey, I was not ready "

" Really, come on , , maybe it's good. Let's take a look . Look at you . You are so much cuter than me "

Is he joking or what ? Damn it .

I heard footsteps approaching, and I exclaimed, 'Oh, it's Haley!

Elijah uttered" oh sweet, here come the ladies . "

" You said Lily felt sick "

" Yeah , she was pale and looked sick when i saw her the first time. "

" Well, she looks lovely now , I hope it's fine "

The girls approached, and I heard Lily say,"...and that's how I realized that my best friend is imaginary! I subconsciously brought the doll to life with magic . "

Haley said " aw , you are so talented. I can't even imagine doing something like that . "

" You just need some time around wizardry to find your source of power. Trust me "

Elijah then spoke." hey , girls is everything ok ? "

Lily replied " yeah , thank you for asking . I feel better "

Haley approached me." James! You're here too "

" Hey again, "

" I'm so glad for you "

Elijah start speaking" alright, boys and girls! It's getting colder. Let's continue our chit_chat on the move . Follow me " 

We walked for a while until we reached the house; from outside, it looked old. However, as soon as Elijah opened the door, 'Wow, this is our dorm,' I exclaimed, impressed by its unexpectedly modern interior .

" Welcome to leonheart, kids! Best conditions, for best students . Make room ! Choose any free room for yourself, this is your home now ! .

But the main place in our house is this living room. Here ..is where the real magic happens !

 Parties, get-togethers, live communication... celebrating house victories in tournaments and competitions . Orgies...well, there haven't really been any orgies yet , but hey ! 

You are new blood. Pioneers. I believe in you. Just let me know in advance so that I can clear my plans for the day. 

So , what have I forgotten... Oh yes , do any of you have questions for me ? "

I rolled my eyes and inquired, " I don't see any bar here , how can we party without booze ? "

Elijah replied" the booze is all right here , trust me ! We have our own sources. " 

Then he winked at me and remarked," You just have to live live long enough to see our parties . And after that, you can die in peace! "

I asked my second question" when is the best time to go to bed? What time do classes begin ? "

He smiles and replied " good question! Boring, but really important informations :

Your schedule and all news are sent directly to your mobile phone "

" How does that work ? "

" If you want to make something of yourself here ---you will attend classes , and if you want to fail your training and get expelled ___ it's up to you. 

I advise everyone to go to bed early and get a good night's sleep . The magical energy that charged you up on the train is about to run out... And no one likes to drag students are who have passed out in the middle of the room to their bedrooms "

Ok that's useful. I heard him speak about competitions " what victories were you talking about ? Who is our house competing with? "

" great question! With other houses , of course. The best house in nortale selected each week . It depends on how fun and rowdy you spend your weekend. 

You are probably impressed by the academy, but ! Only ghosts like to hang around these walls for a whole year. And that's not a fact. I don't think they have a choice, but we do! Collect the most points ___ have fun in dale . 

I'm not saying much but trust me ___ it's worth being ready for class! 

Thank you all for your attention! Rest now , you were all great today. "

Before I go ..he stops me " James , i see you are an active guy . Come to the living room in the morning before class. I have some business for you. "

" Okay , of course "

" Sweet, c'ya"

This guy seems great. I hope my gut isn't lying about him . Alright, where's room? . 

As I contemplated my next move, my phone began to ring, prompting me to answer. " Sam ? "

" Hey what's up buddy? "

" Just saw our living room " 

" What do you think? "

" Pretty cozy. Where are you? "

" Just catching up with an old friend .. checking in on you. james ? "

" What? "

" I always knew you were a leonheart . At least I hoped so." 

" Oh come on . I might as well an adderin. "

" Hey, don't joke about that! "

" Okay, okay take it easy . Honestly, the ritual took a lot out of me. "

" That's okay ."

" Really? How was your ritual? "

" That's a weird question? It's just like everyone else "

" What're the details? "

She start describing" I found myself in a strange forest . There were four founders. Each of them had a few words for me ....."

" And ? "

" And then Three of them left, and Leona invited me to leonheart. "

That's weird " Invited you ? " 

" Well , yeah . And she hugged me at the end "

" So that's it "

" Why , can't what's the big deal? "

" I was just wondering if everyone had the same ritual. Now I know we did "

Some suspeced something " Hmmmm...I've never wondered how other people's rituals went before . I always said you had an unusual mind"

" You didn't usually say that as a compliment. "

" Details .."

" So, shall we meet . Where are you now? "

" I'm busy today. And you must be tired after the ritual. I'll see you in the morning. "

Alright . Goodnight. I'll see you later "

I hung up and headed to my room, changed my clothes, lay on the bed, and drifted into sleep.

This was the strangest day in my life. It still does not fit in my head.... I am a wizard. Hell , why not? That sounds very cool. I fall a sleep . And I'm all excited for the next day
