Me and my Vampire

Argentumus

While I was getting dressed up, I heard a small knock on the window. It was Billy, my brother's tammer. He was holding a letter, and a small package. Fuffy was jumping in surprise along with my heart in sync. I let Billy in, and I opened both the letter and the package.

It was a book of spells. It was quite a unique gift, which my brother has never given to me before. Only if he has a good reason to. But I had more interest in how my brother is doing.

Dear Ken.

I hope you are okay and enjoy your days as much as I do. I have learned a lot since we last saw each other. My head isn't always in the clouds anymore as father used to say. Professor Twillick is very kind to me as always, but I can't get rid of the feeling that something is wrong. And it's not just your absence. I'm sorry to say, but the true reason for my writing is that something worries me, which has kept bugging me for days now. I don't know what it is, but it just doesn't leave. Professor Twillick has put up a Protection Barrier for us, but the feeling doesn't leave. When I was reading next to a lake, a thought came, that there's nothing wrong HERE, but might be over THERE. I'm begging you to be careful, and I hope you enjoy the book.

I don't know why, but I had a feeling that I have to buy it for you, so I'm begging you to read it as carefully as possible. I highlighted the spells that kept me from sleeping.

I love you very much Kendra. Please be careful.

(I hope you can read my handwriting)

I'm very worried now. Worried as much as a person can get, because I know my brother, he was able to predict or feel some features of the future, and the fact that he wrote to me first, scared me. He doesn't have to say that something is wrong, that's obvious, what bothered me was that he knew it, from such a distance. I decided that it is best to reply.

It didn't take me long to finish the letter, and with the spellbook in my hand, I decided to take his advice. But I wanted to do this with Kage, maybe he has some thoughts on the matter. We agreed on meeting in the secret room.

-So, who sent the letter?

-My cousin, Rui. - I felt bad for lying, but the less people know about him, the better, though, I did have a cousin named Rui.

We listed out the spells that he found worrisome.

Votus, impertus, proberus, praesidum, defensio, propulso, liqus, crimetus, argentumus and invisio corpus.

-But...these are all combat incantations. - I said.

-Not all. Invisio corpus, liqus and votus aren't.

-What's votus? Sounds like a dangerous spell.

-It makes a person sick. Liqus is a spell used for melting ice, and ice only, while invisio corpus, makes you invisible. - he stated.

I waved my wand above my head in a circular motion, as the book said, then shouted:

-Invisio Corpus!

I saw my body slowly disappear in the mirror, and then as if I was one with the air.

-An interesting spell.  -I said. Kage cast Uncharm on me, which made my body visible once again. - The only new one is Argentumus.

Kage picked up the book, and looked at the incantation.

-That's a weird one. It says, it creates a small silver ball that can be shot at the enemy and it explodes at the end.

-Silver? Why not fire? What's the point?- I asked in amazement, while he just shrugged his shoulders.

-Do you want to cast it? - he asked.

-Well...I was told I should...

-You sure? - Instead of answering, I waved my wand.

-Argentumus!

The end of my wand let out a silver looking light, which turned into a tiny shiny ball, then it disappeared. The next thing we heard was something hitting the wall, and the wood scattered around the hitting spot, which showed how big the impact was. The result was SHOCKING.

-Bravo. - said Kage sarcastically, when he saw the hole in the wall.

-What's next? - I asked, smiling.
