The Spy

Evening

School continued, but Hunter was not focused on the classes or his mission. At first he was very excited, but it quickly turned to nerves, because he realized he knew nothing about dating. When the final bell wrung he stood at the front entrance and just hoped that Luz hadn't left yet.

Edric and his twin emerged and they were giggling about something. Edric saw Hunter, he smiled and gave him a little wave as he walked by, Hunter waved back. Finally, with 3 other Witches, Luz emerged. Hunter walked towards her and waved to get her attention.

"Luz, hey Luz!"

"Hun-I mean Ian? What's wrong?"

"I have a date, and I have no idea what to do or how to prepare, you said you knew a thing or two about crushes?"

Luz turned and looked at a girl with pink hair in the Abomination track, the two both blushed madly, but then she looked serious and turned to an Illusionist witch.

"Gus, do you think you or your father have any black or dark grey dress jackets and pants that would fit H-Ian? Ian what size shoe are you"

Gus answer before he could. "I don't, but I am positive my dad does."

"I am size 11 and a half."

"Ok." And with that Gus ran off.

"Amity, Willow, do you have plans for tonight?"

Amity, which Hunter remembered was the girl Luz liked, blurted out her response instantly.

"Nope! Er, actually I still got work to catch up on from the other day, but if you need me, I'll be there."

Luz nodded and Amity went on her way, Willow spoke next.

"I am free though Luz."

"Ok, grab every formal product you think may work on him and meet us at the Owl House."

"Got it Luz."

And with that she ran off. But now Hunter was surprised.

"The Owl House, you trust me in your home?"

"Just this once. If I see you around there after this week I am sending our house security after you."

"Understood."

They flew to Luz's home on his palisman. When they entered Hunter was in awe, he had never seen such a weird but beautiful place before. There was so much garbage, but also paintings and candlelight.

Luz took him to her room which looked as though it was probably a closet at some point but she had transformed it to be a cozy home-away-from-home. She sat him down on top of her makeshift bed.

"Ok, sit here, I'll be right back."

He didn't mean to snoop, but he couldn't help but notice the picture of what appeared to be Luz' mother. He knew she wasn't supposed to be here, but for the first time he realized that since the portal was destroyed she probably was trapped here, separated from her family. She arrived back a minute later.

"Is, is this your mom?"

Luz smiled at the picture.

"Yes. Volveré a casa con ella pronto."

"Um, what?"

"Oh, sorry. I just said I hope to be back to her soon. Anyway, what do you think?"

She held out a nice blood red dress shirt.

"I like it, where did you get it?"

"It's one of Eda's."

"Wait, so it's a blouse?"
