So, no more magic school?

Not until Maxwell figures out what happened to me.

I’m surprised he’s happy to let you out of his sight,

given you turned him into a rabbit.

Actually, it was a guinea pig, and that was an accident.

You won't do that to me?

Relax. The random stuff stopped happening, thankfully.

Good. What if he doesn’t figure it out?

He will. I trust Maxwell.

It’s weird being in class without Kyra.

Especially when it used to be so weird being in class with her.

It’s not forever.

Hope not.

Do you know what’s going on with her, Professor?

I’m working on it.

Is it something to do with that book The Theory and Practice of Conjuring?

Every time she touches it, something happens.

You concentrate on your studies and leave Kyra to me.

Does the DMI have to know about the Random Magic she did?

-Yes. What are you going to tell them? -Less talking, more reading.

I want you all to finish that chapter on magical auras by this afternoon.

I’ve got to go out. I’ll be back by lunchtime.

She shoots and she scores.

Hey, what are you doing here? Has Maxwell figured out my problem?

Not yet, but I’m sure he will.

-So no random magic or anything? -No, I’m totally fine. It’s stopped.

-And you’re here because…? -I just thought I’d swing by.

-Missing me, huh? -Maybe a little.

-Aren’t you supposed to be in class? -Maxwell's gone away for a while.

-So, you snuck out. -What can I say? I’m a born rebel.

-But not a born basketball player. -Let me try that again.

Kyra? I wasn’t expecting to see you home.

-I had something on but it got postponed. -So you invited a friend over.

This is Darra.

Darra, this is my dad.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Glen.

How do you two know each other?

-I think we met at the library, didn’t we? -Yeah, I think we did.

Well, if it was on a basketball court, watch out for this one.

-She plays a mean game. -Thanks for the warning.

I’m making some toasted sandwiches. Would you guys like some?

-No thanks, I’m not hungry. -Darra?

-That sounds… -Oh, Darra has to get going.

Nice meeting you.

Are you nuts? You almost revealed magic to my dad!

I guess I was careless. I don’t think he saw anything, though.

But he could have.

-I’ll be more careful next time. -Next time?

We don’t know how long you’ll be out of school for,

so chances are pretty good I’ll visit you again.

-Any excuse to skip class. -You know me too well.

[chuckles] Thanks for coming. See you.

Did either of you think the professor was acting a bit weird before?

He seemed like he had something on his mind.

He’s just worried about what’s happened to Kyra.

True, but I think he knows more than he’s letting on.

Such as?

He says there’s nothing strange about that book,

but why did he get Ladder to take it to the Restricted Section,

with strict instructions for no one to touch it?

-He did what? -How do you know?

-I saw him. -You were spying?

No! I just happened to be here when he did it.

The Restricted Section is for high-risk magical stuff.

So, what's he not telling us about that book?

-You’re not thinking of going in there? -How else will we find out?

-We can't go in without permission! -Maxwell isn’t here, so how will he know?

[Ladder creaks]

-Ladder, can you please let us through? -[creaks]

-Ladder, move! -[creaks]

Well, I guess we’ll have to forget about going in, then.

Imogen, no!

[rattling]

-What did you do? -Just a simple Stun spell.

It’ll wear off in an hour or so.

You coming?

I don’t like it. Let’s go back.

No one’s stopping you.

Something’s not right. This is too easy.

Is there any point in trying to jump to the other side?

-I wouldn’t like to try it. -So how do we get past?

Guess it’s not so scary after all. Coming?

-Your friend could've stayed, you know. -He had to go.

-Because I came home? -Of course not.

-The uniform can be intimidating. -It wasn’t the uniform.

Kyra, your friends are welcome anytime.

In fact, invite him over again. He can come for dinner.

He’s really not that much of a friend. I hardly know him.

Didn’t look like it to me.

-In fact, I think he quite likes you. -Dad!

One of the advantages of being a cop, I notice things.

[phone rings]

Hi, Mathilda. What’s up?

Nope, just some highly questionable parenting.

Love to. See you there.

There it is. Easy.

-Good. Grab it and let’s get out of here. -It’s not what I’m looking for.

We were looking for the book Kyra touched. This is it.

I know. I’m also interested in books the professor might have looked at.

"The Orb of Lemuria."

-I thought that was a myth. -So did I.

So, why would Maxwell be reading about a myth?

Didn’t Kyra say she saw a glowing sphere in her vision?

-A sphere is a kind of orb. -We need to find this book.

Better hurry up. Maxwell said he’d be back by lunchtime.

Where do we start?

How about aisle 327, section 12?

Lily told me about Kyra’s Random Magic. I’ve been waiting to hear the full story.

It all happened without Kyra using finger or wand.

Any triggers for these events?

None that are obvious. Do you have any idea what might cause such magic?

Well, the only possibility is the Orb of Lemuria,

but we both know that was never recovered.

Perhaps they’re just unique tri-ling powers?

Perhaps, but it does raise the issue of what the girl is capable of.

If her magic is so arbitrary, she could reveal us to the human world.

My job is to protect the secret. You’ll continue to keep an eye on her.

If that’s what you want.

I know we haven’t always seen eye to eye on DMI methods, Maxwell,

but I’m sure we both want the magical world to remain safe.

Don’t worry, Sean. If anything happens, you'll be the first to know.

That’s the one!

Is this going to help us?

Uh, give me a minute.

[sputters]

I still can’t believe you were free on such short notice.

You are always busy these days.

I know things got weird for a while, but I feel like we’re back on track.

Yeah and once I start thrashing you, it’ll really be back to normal.

You wish.

[both laugh]

Do you know that guy? I swear I’ve seen him at Harvey’s.

Nope.

-Seems interested. Want to say hey? -We’re in the middle of a game.

But he looks so lonely, sitting there all by himself.

-Mattie, can we play? -Hey! I haven’t seen you here before.

I’m sort of new here.

-I’m Mathilda. -Darra.

This is my friend Kyra.

-Uh, do you want to play? -Sure.

What? No, he’s hopeless.

Wait, I thought you said you didn’t know him?

I'm… assuming. Besides, he's not exactly dressed to play basketball.

-I won't let that stop me. -Great. Let's go.

That's it! The Orb of Lemuria.

"Lemuria was an ancient land in the Indian Ocean.

Legend says that the Lemurian fairies and elves worked together

to create a single orb of untold magical power,

but there was dissent over who would control such a dangerous force."

Typical. You make something nice and then you fight over who owns it.

"There was a war between fairies and elves that resulted

in the collapse of the Lemurian Empire

and destroyed the very society that had brought the orb into existence."

-What's so funny? -[coughs] Sorry.

"The island of Lemuria sank into the ocean never to be seen again."

-What happened to the orb? -[chuckles]

-Are you okay? -[giggles]

[chuckles]

-Hey, give that back! -Make me.

[giggles]

What's gotten into her?

Uh, do you want to try that again?

-I don't think it'll make any difference. -[chuckles]

-Kyra was right. You are terrible. -So harsh.

No, seriously, you should consider taking up bowling. Or chess.

Actually, I'm pretty good at table tennis. We should play.

-Pretty sure I'd thrash you at that, too. -Whatever you need to believe.

-I'm going to take off. -What? Why?

You guys totally have a vibe.

-We do not. -Just have fun.

You can give me the goss later.

-Oh, it was lovely to meet you! -Likewise.

So, how did you find me?

You're surprisingly predictable. I thought, where would Kyra go?

Maybe the basketball court? And bingo, here you are.

You followed me, didn't you?

Yeah, guilty as charged. [chuckles]

Why?

I wanted to apologize for that thing with your dad, earlier.

I should've been a little more careful.

I guess magic is second nature to you. Must be hard doing things the human way.

I thought I was doing okay. So, do you want to play some more?

No offense, but there is no way you can beat me.

Even with magic you're a lousy shot. [chuckles]

Who said anything about winning?

A friend, I think her name was Kyra, once told me that it's not about winning.

It's about playing.

-So how about it? -Fine.

-First to 20 points? -You're on.

[mimics explosion]

Great. Imogen's inhaled the scent of the Giggle Bloom.

-A Giggle Bloom is an actual thing? -That's it.

-Pretty flower. -Don't look at it. It can be hypnotic.

It's used by the tribes of the Amazon.

It makes you think everything is funny until the scent wears off.

Lily, stop it!

We need to find Imogen and get the book, okay? Let's split up.

Absolutely, positively, no way! I'm sticking with you.

[Darra pants]

-Sure you don't want to quit? -Are you kidding?

-Woo! I'm just getting warmed up. -It's 12-nil.

I'm lulling you into a false sense of security.

Uh-huh. Well, this will make it 15-nil.

Where'd you pull that from?

Getting worried now?

Oh, yeah, I can barely stand the pressure given I'm still ten points ahead.

-Gap's closing. -Quit now. There's no way you can win.

I'm going to give it my best shot, so, you'd better bring it,

unless you want to quit.

In your dreams.

Yes!

-Imogen? -Imogen, are you here?

-I hope she hasn't gone outside. -I knew going in there was a bad idea.

[Imogen giggles]

Come on, Imo, out you come.

-Imo, please. -[giggles]

Out you come, Imogen. If you do, you'll get a treat.

[gasps] What treat?

The most super-duper awesome sundae ever.

-With icing and sprinkles on top? -And hot fudge sauce.

[giggles]

I'll keep reading. You take care of Imogen.

-Take care of her how? -You'll think of something.

-Great. -[giggles]

Out you come, Imogen. Maxwell will be back soon.

-[giggles] -Okay. I can't believe I'm doing this,

but if you come out, I'll let you have a go of my wand.

[gasps]

-Tricked you! -Ha-ha!

Oh, not again.

Are you going to get it? You can't get it.

-Oh! -Oh, no!

-Aw, come on. -Woo! Yeah!

-Fourteen-four. -[laughs]

Wha… Aw!

Yes!

[soothing music]

[grunting]

[chuckling]

That's enough for today. Let's call it a draw.

Imogen, are you here?

Please come here. This is way outside my comfort zone.

-[Imogen giggles] -Imogen.

Hey, fun's over.

-Imogen, pretty please. Please. -[giggles]

Imogen?

Oh, no.

That was fun. You looked like you were enjoying yourself, too.

I was. [chuckles]

You want to have some more fun sometime? Go see a movie?

Or go moonlight horse riding with the pixies?

-I'd like to… -I'm sensing a but.

Darra, there's too much going on.

I'm lying to my dad.

Maxwell still doesn't know what's happening to me.

-Until that's been sorted… -So, friends it is, then?

Friends.

[creaking]

[Ruksy] "And though Lemuria disappeared,

there've been persistent rumors that the orb survived.

To date, its whereabouts remain unknown."

[both giggle]

Not you, too?

-[sighs] This cannot be happening. -[both giggle]

-Maxwell's due back any minute. -[creaking]

Come on! We've got to go.

[giggling]

-[giggling] -[creaking]

-This is no laughing matter! -[both giggle]

Now, sit down and look like you're studying.

Oh, I thought you were Maxwell.

-[both giggle] -What's with them?

Uh, think of it as some kind of hay fever.

When's the professor back?

Any minute. Why?

Well, Kyra seems to have her magic under control.

I was hoping she could come back to class.

[both giggle]

-What's been going on here? -Just some research.

Do you know where Kyra is?

Hey, Ruksy. What are you doing here?

It's not like you to just drop in. What's up?

It's the professor.

-Has something happened to him? -No.

Then what?

There's no easy way to say this,

but Maxwell isn't telling you everything he knows about your magic.

He wouldn't do that. He said he'll investigate and keep me updated.

-Has he told you anything yet? -No.

I know for a fact that he knows about the orb in your vision.

How do you know?

I found this in a book about the Orb of Lemuria.

I've never heard of that.

Maxwell has.

He's lying to you.
