After the division and the meeting, we were asked to come back to our room. I said good night to my friends and left for my room. While on my way back I found Jennifer on the stairs, as she was waiting for someone while talking with Cresseda and Cassie. I looked at her and smiled as I said-" Good night, see you tomorrow"

She shrugged my words as she made ignored face towards me and started taking back with Cresseda and Cassie. I waited for some time for her to reply, but she did not even look at me. I sighed as I really couldn't understand what was her problem. so I walked back to the stairs towards my room but unintentionally I heard their conversation on the way.

Cresseda said with a low whisper-" She is an outsider, she had stayed with humans, who knows who she is?"

Cassie replied with a devilish chuckle-" Just because Queen Harney miss her granddaughter, she brought someone from the human world"

Jennifer laughed as she replied with a smirk-" I heard she is a mudblood"/ Cresseda and Cassie dramatically gasped as they started to laugh again.

I shrugged off their talks as I walked away from their conversation. I was a little disturbed by them as I rushed back to my room, I wasn't looking ahead as I accidentally bumped into someone's hard chest... I looked up while rubbing my forehead while saying-" Watch before..." I stopped in the middle as I saw it was no other than Priam who was looking at me with his worried eyes...

Priam asked-" Woah, miss, be careful." As we looked into each other. " Oh, it's you princess Parshawna!"- he said with a slight smile. And for the first time, our eyes met. His dark orbs were looking for to find an answer but I became a little nervous... I forgot what to say... and I kept staring blankly at him for a while. He chuckled as I came back to my senses.

I looked down immediately and didn't dare to reply to him anything. I bowed a little as I rushed back to my room and closed the door. I was a little hurt and confused by the situation. I jumped at my bed and cried, and then I heard a knocking on my door. Who came at this hour? Is it him? Or... Well, it could be my friends too... But are they allowed to come here at this hour?... I wiped my tears off as I stood up from bed and went to open the door. I got up and reached the door as I opened the lock and looked outside with a little shock on my face. I saw professor Hyle is on the door.

I exclaimed in a little shock-" Professor?" What is she doing here at this hour? Did I do something wrong? Is she here to punish me for what happened in the morning? I was thinking of all sorts of possible questions in my head while looking at her blankly.

She said softly-" Yes, my dear, sorry to arrive at this hour"

I replied-" No it's okay. Please come in". I moved slightly allowing her to come in.

She closed the door, as she came inside, she looked around my room and stood before me with a confused face, as if she was searching for something.

I asked as I looked at her raising my eyebrows-" Can I help you with anything professor?"

She hesitated before speaking but then finally she said with hope in her eyes-" No, nothing much, but I came to ask you that... That... do you come along with your, the... Uhm... Golden wand?"

I replied while nodding-" Oh, that... yes, Uhm... grandma told that the wand is some sort of entry ticket to this world. So I brought it along here too, maybe somewhere I might need it"

I opened the drawer and took out a box. " Oh, dear!!!" She exclaimed as she took out the box from my hand, and she opened it and unwrapped the blue cloth. She gasped as she was surprised to see the golden wand as if she was waiting so long to see this.

She said-" you know my dear, this is one of the most valuable wands in the world. This has a deep history."

I replied while looking blankly at her as I didn't have much idea-" Oh!!! I had no idea"

She didn't move her eyes from the wand and replied-" I can understand, but let me tell you this is the most powerful wand in the WitchLand's history. This was created and made by the most powerful witch Lily." She sat on the edge of the bed as I followed her. She continued-" There was a time when we used to live with humans in peace. Nature had given us powers so that we can help others and so we lived happily with each other. Then, slowly humans started growing more and more and very few were blessed with the powers like ours. They started to greed at our powers as they forcefully captured us to make work for them. Some of them fought back as a few of the humans got hurt. They began to get scared and slowly they started hating us. Some people wanted us to tame and use for their entertainment or their means. But then we realized we have been used. So we rebel against them, but not to hurt them instead to let them know that we deserve equal respect and peace. Lily was born with great powers but was kept hidden from the world in fear that she would end up like others. By the order of the king, his father had to leave for the war between witches and humans, but he asked Lily to use her powers only to save her family. She was left with her little sister. They grew up and waited for their father to return, but he never did. Slowly Aya, her little sister learned about her sister's powers and she started feeling jealous of her. Lily who was living an ordinary life, had fallen for the prince of the kingdom. Prince, not knowing her identity, had loved her too. But there came the day when her sister and her love had fought against her. She realized her kind was not safe there. Humans have greed and jealousy which makes them weak. So she gave up all her power to make this wand to help and protect her kind, her people. During her last breath, she asked to make a world with a better heart than humans. She died separating the world from humans and other realms, during the last days she had missed and cried for her love and her sister. Thus when she died the witches has restored a part of her in this wand. Only a true with, a pureblood can gain the power of this wand. Within several years many people tried to gain it but very few people have used this, only those who are worthy."

I was listening to the professor very calmly and concentratedly. I never knew the story behind this wand, only grandma told me to keep this safe. But somewhere I could feel Lily and her story. I asked-" This has a part of her?"

She looked at me and replied-" Yes my dear. When she created this world, she had to give up her life to save her people. The witches try as much as they could to save her, but her destiny had something else. Her heart was made of gold. She was a diamond in the dark, so they tried to keep her part in this world with us. This had a part of a true witch's soul. Which is the most powerful weapon n Earth."

I replied with a shock on my face-" Wow, I had no idea, this wand had this much big history"

She said-" But remember, as much as powerful this wand is, the more this have threat...Only a few great witches were worthy to use this wand."

I asked-" Oh, you mean am I one of them?"

She looked a little concerned and replied in a worried tone-" Don't be so happy on this..."

She stopped in between and she kept the wand inside and closed the lid. She handed it over to me, and said-" Oh, dear I must not say these, but remember you need to be very careful". She started to walk away.

This was too fast for me to understand anything, I stood up as I stared at her blankly and nodded while replying-" Yes, I will, Good night professor"

She left with giving me goosebumps with her words. The story she said was really sad, somewhere I can relate to when I was in London. My mom died, but she was a good human. Not everybody is the same. Uncle Tom was a good human. But as for this wand, what possible threat might I get from this? I don't know but I have to know. the mysteries were forming a great headache for me now...

AT PROFESSOR DUNSTON'S CHAMBER:

Professor Hyle came from my room and went straight to the principal's room. She knocked on the door before entering. She came inside and found Principal Dunston nowhere. And then the hawk flew over her head towards the table and turned back into Mr. Dunston. She rolled her eyes as she flinched a little.

He asked while giving a smile-" Do you have any news so far?"

She sighed as she replied politely-" I saw the golden wand with my eyes. It was the same as it was years ago."

He asked-" Did you tell her anything about it yet?"

She replied-" No sir, not yet"

He replied with intense frowned as he massage his forehead-" Good. She must not know about it now, She is too young. We have time to tell her slowly. It is a big responsibility on her, let her be... for now"

She said with a pause-" How about we must keep it safe somewhere to avoid the consequences and give her some ordinary..."

He replied while cutting her off in between-" Professor, The wand chose her. We cannot change her fate. But I will think about this, let me speak with Queen Harney about this once"

She replied-" Sure" She nodded and she left.

SHAWNA'S ROOM

I thought to investigate a little about this. But I don't know-how. So I have to wait till tomorrow morning. I sighed as I lay on my bed and drifted in my sleep. While I was sleeping, I saw a weird dream. It was different than others. As if, the wand was talking to me. It felt so real. I started having goosebumps as I felt as if the wand was talking to me in real. I could see the dark all around and there was just a light in the infinity. when I followed the light I saw a lady, crying for help as soon as I reached there she disappeared. I tried to hold onto her wrists but I lost the grip. I screamed-"AHHHHH!!!!!" 

I woke up on the bed while panting loud, I looked around and I was still in my bedroom. But the dream felt as if it was all real. I didn't know I was screaming all this time in my dream. Everyone after came hearing my voice. Professor Hyle opened the door using her wand and saw me crying on my bed.

She asked in panic-" What happened dear?"

I explained everything to her while still shaking and everyone's face turned into shock hearing me. They started gossiping among themselves as they were looking at each either and me.

Professor Hyle ordered everyone to go back in their room to avoid the crowd as she looked at me and said while caressing my head-" It's just a dream, nothing to worry about. Everything will be fine"

Hearing her words resemblance my mom's. It brought me a little peace. I calmed down. She nodded and left after making sure I am good. I agreed to sleep on imagining my mom's word.
