"Harry! Snape bellowed Do note that you are lucky to not be expelled.." Willow read out loud to King on the couch as he sighs. "Willow..you're getting all swoony again-" King said looking at Willow. "I can't help it. Harry gets a magical quest and makes friends while making a truce with his school enemies!" Willow added holding the book at his chest while closing his eyes. "I wish I had that kind of power.." Shree said while she closes her notebook and walks towards the couch. "Rivals are meant to be annihilated not befriended! Now keep reading! I've been sucked into awful fandom!" King said. "Okay, suddenly! The door swung open!" Just as Willow said that the door swung open with Kimaya and Ashlee walking through it. "THE BOOK HAS COME TO LIFE BURN IT!" King yelled as he jumped onto Shree's head. "Will y'all shut up? EDAA YOU HAVE A PACKAGE!" Kimaya yelled for Eda as she walks into the kitchen.

"It looks like a gift basket.." Ashlee said as she gives a closer look. "Probably an offering! Aa being the most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles has it's perks." Eda said as King pulls the blanket to see a sleeping bat baby. "Mmm fresh meat!" King said rubbing his palms together.
"Nope-" Willow said while uses his hands to block his face.
"Ew" Ashlee said raising an eyebrow as Shree and Kimaya gave no response and stared at the sleeping bet baby. "Witches eating babies is so 1693! What is this?" Eda replied as she raises and eyebrow and looks closer. "There's a note! "Take care of my child till morning. Yi Yi" King read the note as he sat down. "Nope! Babies are awful, not happening." "You will be handsomely rewarded xoxoxox The Bat Queen 🦇" King continued reading. "Bat Queen? Reward?" Eda said as she looks at the shiny coins. "Who's the Bat Queen?" Shree asked sitting down on a chair. "She's the wealthiest demon on the Boiling Isles! Get in with her and you're set for life! SO! We keep this thing alive for a few hours and we get paid? Pfft easy!" Eda added. "Any who you guys have to return the library books I checked out. I don't want them getting a cut of the loot." Eda whispered the last part in King's ear. Eda pulls the blanket and the house started shaking as it cries. "ON SECOND THOUGHT MAYBE WE COULD USE YOUR'E HELP!" Eda yells. "WELL WE GOT TO GET TO THE LIBRARY SEE YA!" Kimaya yelled slamming the kitchen door.

The four enter the library in astonishment. Suddenly the books glow green and fly towards the counter. "Late,Late,Late, copy grass and blood stains? This are Eda's aren't they. Ugh I'll put them on her tab." The grumpy front desk man said while he writes stuff down. "By the way, were closing early for the wailing star mediocre shower. "What the heck is a Wailing star?" Kimaya asked. "You're in a library, read a book." The man replied as the four rolled their eyes and walked off. They kept walking around the library until they were in the kid's section. "Hey Shree, were going to the non-fiction centre we'll catch you later." Willow said as the three walked off into the non-fiction centre and soon disappeared down the hall. "What do you think you're doing!?" A familiar voice spoke up causing Shree to panic and hide her face behind a book she pulled off the shelf. "Huh-" Shree whispered as she puts the book back and started going near the kid's play area. "Where are you're friends? And we wanna help! Said the tin boy with a yelp. Otabin smiled and paced the floor, I've never had real friends before!" Lorenzo reads out to the kids while doing hand gestures. "Lorenzo reading to kids?" Shree said thinking to herself as she approached slowly hiding behind a smaller shelf. "Then we'll be you're first! The chicken witch clucked, Otabin couldn't believe his luck! So book maker Otabin surrounded by friends bound a book of friendship and that's the end." Lorenzo smiled and closed the book as the little kids cheered. "Lorenzo seems so nice, and smily..that's weird.." Lorenzo smilied and waved goodbye to the kids as they ran off laughing and giggling. Lorenzo looked to the corner and was spooked when he saw Shree sitting down pretending to be on her phone. "Ugh you." Lorenzo said. "Um hi?" Shree replied switching off her phone. "Reading to kids huh? How adorable." "Ugh it's for extra credit don't get you're leggings in a bunch." "Hey, I could help with the kids I do good impressions and-" Shree suddenly got interrupted by Lorenzo as he slams the book. "HUMAN! Do you see me going to the Owl shack and bug you while you..fry up owls!? Okay I don't really know what you do there but every time you come near me I get into trouble! Just leave alone!" "Rude. and here I thought you could be an actual nice person." Shree said as she walks away. "You're gonna let him get to you like that?" Shree looked up to see Emira, Edric and the rest walk up. "Why are you guys doing here?" "Were wishers on a mission." "A noble quest!" Edric and Emira answered. "Watch this, HEY ZOZO!" Lorenzo heard them and slapped himself. "Aunt said to stop forgetting you're lunch! And stop being a bitch to you're friends." "They are not my friends!" Lorenzo blushes in embarrassment as he snatches the bag. "Yeah make sense they seem to cool for ya." Emira replied putting her arms around the four. "You can leave now! All of you!" Lorenzo yells pointing towards the exit and walked back into the kid's area. Emira bursts out laughing as she and Edric lead the four around. "Well since you didn't know were Lorenzo's older cousins by one year of course. We heard how you embarrassed him at the Covention. No wonder he hates you guys." Emira said while she walks with them. "Don't waste you're time with ZoZo me and Em were way more fun." Edric said as he lead the four to the fiction centre.
