Witchward Wizard School

I couldn't understand much but I knew I have been admitted to the school In here. School? what for? I was confused... What kind of school do they have here? Will they teach me subjects? or magic? Well, during my stay with the human world, I have never been to school. I always wanted to go but aunt Nevlin never allowed me. Honestly, I was excited but was a little confused too...I asked Grandma with a frown -" School?"

She replied with elegance-" Yes my dear" She looked up at me as she continued-" this is the school of witchcraft magic and arts. Since you have been born and brought up in the human world, there are many things you do not know about the WitchLands. So apart from learning spells, you will also learn to become a princess. Wizards and Witches come here for four years of their final training before joining to serve the country work. These four years not only will learn magic, history, and royalty, you will also know your kingdom which is an important part of becoming a Queen."

I asked with a straight face, while slightly tilting my head-" where is this?"

She replied after a pause-" It's a little far from here... but don't you worry, there will be lots of students like you, in the school. You will make friends and will explore many things, this is kind of important before you take up the throne."

I asked-" Will there be students like me from the human world too granny?"

She replied while looking at dad with a little amused -" Well, Uhm... not exactly like you from the human world, but they all are witches and wizards, and few are from royal family too. This is mainly the age when we send young witches and wizards to the final learning from around the world for a better education. The young Witches and Wizard then were recruited to serve their country and the ones from the royal family are likely to take up the throne"

I thought for some time with a small pout as I said with a low voice while looking down-" But, I just came here. I don't want to leave you and dad."

Dad smiled at me as he said while caressing my hair-" My dear Shawna, you will never leave us. It's just for a few years. Then you are going to come right back to your home after that my dear. And in between, during your vacations, you can always visit here. You have to understand you are the princess of WitchDom and you do have certain responsibilities towards your country too which you cannot deny as a part of this royal family. Someday you must take up the throne after me, so you have to get ready for that. And We will always be visiting you Okay?"

I was in a dilemma, on one side I was happy that I will get to go to school. Like a real school, where there will be students and teachers, and I will make friends. I was glad that it was not just any ordinary school. The best one in this world. I will be going as a princess of WitchDom. On the other side, I didn't want to leave and go of my family, I just met. There were lots of questions to be answered... lots of mysteries to be solved... But I had to go. They were right, now I do have lots of responsibilities. Being a princess isn't easy I see... I pout a little as I sighed in confirmation this is the right thing to do. Grandma has sent out my acceptance letter to the school already. I was supposed to leave in 5 days from now. As per the information all the students were supposed to meet at Lenin street to catch the carriage to school.

And finally, the day came, for me to leave, Saying goodbye to dad and grandma, I left for Linin street. There were lots of thoughts going on in my head... What if the students don't like me? Do they know that I have come from the human world? They have been grown up here, but I was not... Will they accept me? But I have to focus no matter what. I must do well and make my dad and granny proud of me. When I reached there I saw, there were lots of students already waiting for the carriage to arrive. I came down from my carriage as I bid goodbye to the royal guards. I stood in a corner avoiding much crowd, waiting for the school carriage to come. A girl approached me with a smile while offering her hands.

She said with a bright smile-" Hi, You are Parshawna Macduff right? "

I replied shaking her hands-" Yes, Nice to meet you, Uhm..."

She replied-" Oh, I am sorry, myself Jenney Broker" She bowed down adding a curtsy before me.

I looked with an awkward smile as I blinked a few times making sure nobody is watching us. I quickly holds her hands and said-" Uhm, please you don't need to do that,"

She replied with a confused face-" But you are a princess, from a royal family, and we are just someone from the town. I should..."

I smiled and replied-" Well here, we all are students not someone from the royal family or not. We are the same. And I believe we must not bow down before friends... I haven't done anything to gain respect yet"

She smiled and nodded. I offered her my hands and asked-" So, friends?"

She replied in overjoy-" Oh yes it's my honor to be...". She again bowed down a little ready to do her curtsy.

I looked at her with a puzzled face as she then realized she is doing curtsy again. She stood up while clearing her throat and scratching her back of the head. We laughed out loud. She replied-" Friends". While taking my hands as we both shake it little. She was cute. My first ever friend in this new school. She looked tiny and cute, she had a jolly nature as we started talking random things about school.

 A boy followed us and he stood before us making me a little confused. I looked at her hoping she would know him maybe. She smiled as she introduced him-" Parshawna, this is my older brother, Bradshaw Broker"

He was tall and good-looking. His hairs were a little longer coming to his eyes. He looked a little introverted as he just stood beside Jenny while looking at me with a little smile.

I smiled at him while offering him my hand for a shake-" Nice to meet you, Bradshaw. By the way, you guys can call me Shawna". I said while looking at both of them.

He smiled and shake hands, and replied-" nice to meet you too, Shawna, and you may call me Brad". I nodded as we become friends. Jenny told her about me. Well, she loved history and she looked well known about the WitchLands as she started describing this.

We nodded and laughed as we had a good conversation till the carriage came. I found a few new friends. They were nice. Brad was two years older than me, and his sister Jenny was a year younger than me. Brad was a man of few words and looked reserved in nature, He was quite handsome with his formal wear. Whereas Jenny was a fun-loving cute girl. He loves her sister very much, but also they use to fight very much, but I guess that is a beautiful relationship between a brother and a sister. They were close to each other as their care for each other was seen by their nature. 

While waiting for the carriage, Another boy walked up to us. He looked at Brad and asked-" Dude, Brad?" while keeping his hands on Brad's shoulder.

Brad looked at him with joy and hugged him. He said-" John? Dude!!! why are you so late as usual?". They looked like good friends for a long time. He smiled at Jenny, who responded with a sweet smile too. 

He broke the hug as he said-" Yeah, dad woke me up late and..." he looked at me, he said-" And...You must be the princess of WitchDom?"

I replied while nodding-" Certainly yes. Hi, Shawna here" I forwarded my hand for a shake. He took my hands gladly as we shakes our hands and nodded. He replied-" we have only heard about you in stories, can't believe you are standing next to me."

I asked with a frown-" what do you mean?"

Brad cut us off as he spoke in between and introduced him-" Will let that go, for now, meet John, he is my childhood mate.". He said while keeping his hands on John's shoulder as John did the same.

I smiled as I said-" It's nice to meet you, John."

John replied-" It's pleasure to meet you, princess." He took my hands and he kissed the back of my palms, leaving me in an awkward position now. I looked at him while blinking a few times. He looked up and saw me with the expression. He frowned as he asked-" Did I do the curtsy wrong?"

Brad laughed looking at him as he was looking at us with a puzzled expression. Brad said-" Certainly, Shawna here doesn't like to be called or treated like a princess"

I replied while taking my hands off from him awkwardly-" True, we all are the same here, students of Witchward Wizard School, let not our background define us. We must be known of what we learn and become from here"

John smiled as he replied-" Wisdom as your grandmother."

John was at Brad's age. He was tall and fair with specs, He had the personality of quite friendly. The carriage arrived after some time as we get up on the carriage. We became friends and we had a good time throughout the journey to Witchward Wizard School.

Soon we reached the school premises, and it was beautiful and magical, it has big green ground with lots of students and teachers doing activities, the towers are as high as the sky. the big towers have big statues of dragons. Big trees were surrounding the school. And the campus was surrounded by a river. Lots of magical creatures were there, I was amazed to see them, I never have thought that magical creatures do exist, but I guess I was wrong. The magical land of Witchward Wizard School has a beautiful magical feeling that I can't deny.

While we were observing the spectacular beauty of the school, we watched a coming-over few students. They looked like seniors. She smiled and handed over us a scroll. She said-" Welcome to Witchward Wizard School. Hope you have a great year here. This is the schedule and a map of the place, I am Maggie, head of the student council. If you guys need anything let me know okay?

We nodded and accepted the scroll. She also informed us of our room allotted in the C wing of the school for the juniors. We were supposed to reach the gate of the C wing where we will be assisted to our rooms. We followed the instruction and reached the destination. All the junior year students stood before the gate of C wings and waited for someone to come over and we saw a dwarf man standing with a paper board in hand.

He said while still looking at the scroll he was holding with a poker face-" Here you all are. Hmmm... let's see"

He called out the names from his scroll and allocated the room accordingly. Then he called out my name-" Parshawna Macduff?" And looked at the students searching with a shocking face. I came forth and said with my shaky voice as I was confused and scared why would he call my name like that-"Y-Yes". He looked at me when his eyes met mine, He looked at me for a few moments and mumbled-" History repeats itself".

I asked as I couldn't hear properly-" what?"

He said while looking away with a nod-" Nothing, come, I will show you the guest room"

I replied-" But, why guest room for me? I mean, everyone else is staying with a roommate!"

He replied-" School authority had prepared three special guest rooms for the royal family."

I asked-"three ?"

He said-" Yes, there will be more than two students from the royal family, staying with you"

I replied-" But what if I want to stay with my friends?"

While we were arguing that moment a lady appeared out of a blue with her magic as she stood before us. She was tall with her appearance. She had specs, Wand, and a book in her hand, very strict from her appearance I assumed. The dwarf bowed at her as he gave her a little space. All the students stood up straight while looking at her. She looked at me and said-" Welcome onboard Miss Macduff, I believe, you will not question school authority upon his decisions?"

I replied with a shaky voice-"N-no madam, I didn't mean it like that..."

She cut me off as she said-" We will hear what you mean later. For now, every student must go to their room, The rest of the students who were yet to come will join you all shortly. And by evening you must all report to the meeting room by 7 o clock, without any delay. Am I clear to everyone?" She looked at everyone as we all nodded at her.

We all acknowledged her saying a "Yes".

Everyone went to their room, so did I, and reaching up to my room, I saw It was as big as my room in my palace. But I felt bad for the discrimination. But I couldn't do much about it. While entering my room, I saw two more rooms beside me that had the same decoration. I wondered who are the two royal guests to join us yet.
