- You used a spell to
get me into this school.

You, my own mother.

- Jack's dad and Benoit's
mom are sitting together.

Love is in the air.

BOTH: We've got to break

to give her the scroll.

We already know that she can

how excited I am about this.

I mean, with all the phones and

I'm thrilled that
we're going to be

However, there was one

Over to you, Mr. Editor.

- Why, thank you, Mr. Legrest.
Thank you very much.

Listen up, everyone.

Newspapers are a dying art.

But I'm committed
to making this

the best school paper in the
history of school newspapers.

You feel me?
- That's the spirit, Finn.

- Everyone must
write an article.

You can pair up,
or you can fly solo.

But whatever you do,
make it interesting.

Better than interesting--

make it

- I have loads of ideas.

I wrote for my school
paper back home.

- I keep up with 60 newspapers

in English, French, and Irish.

- And yet you still don't speak
as many languages as me.

- Nobody does, Finn.
You're gifted.

was unheard of back then.

she taught classes.

from the time I was five.

I was the only Black
girl in the class.

- Did you ever
feel lonely,

being so different from
everyone else in your class?

- Of course.

And it's not like I could hide
my differences either.

I had no choice
but to keep on going.

My grandmother
would always tell me,

if she could do it, so could I.

But she warned me--

it wasn't easy for anyone
to make it as a dancer,

and it's going to be
ten times harder for me.

- That's why we
have to keep going.

- Exactly.

It's better than it was back

I see young dancers like you.

- Oh, this is fascinating.

Well, ancient Wizens were
way more powerful than us,

but we don't really
know much about it.

- Some bad stuff went
down back in the day,

and their magic was archived
in a secret place.

The presiding elders--
East, West, North, and South--

they protect the archives,

and only they know
where the location is.

- How do you know
so much about this?

- Well, I got "A"s
in lineage and history.

- And my mom is a historian
for the Glasgow chapter.

So each tribe had
their own unique way

to preserve the stories
and spells of ancient magic.

And it's also
how Wizens would communicate

with each other in secret.

They wove it into quilts,

fabrics, clothes.

It's actually where
the patchwork quilt originates.

- [chuckles] I could do that
in my clothes--hidden messages.

What a great idea.

- And I read something
about violet water.

- That's the remnants
of spells.

It can cause a pedestrian
to remember a spell,

which can be quite dangerous.

- Only scholars
or really high-level Wizens

know for sure.

- Why the sudden interest
in ancient magic?
