     After weeks of practicing, Albus had a success in making the hot chocolate float around the room, without spilling anything and without any effort.
     "Good hob, Al! I'm so proud of you!" Amanda said and hugged her friend as he landed the mug on the table.
     "Thank you!" Albus responded and blushed a little.
     "So, are you ready for next level?" Amanda asked.
     "Actually, I've done some research in your books... sorry..." Albus looked at her, blushing even more.
     "That's great! You can take them whenever you want, but if it's a defensive or offensive spell, wait until we get together and work on it." Amanda advised him.
     "Yes, of course. I've only practiced some harmless spells." Albus explained.
     "Show me what you practiced." Amanda encouraged him.
     Albus concentrated and disappeared from next to Amanda and appeared in front of the TV, standing.
     "That's so good! You've done this in only two weeks?" Amanda said as she perceived Albus did teleport quite easily, almost like her.
     "Yes... Is it good enough to compare myself to you?" Albus asked.
     "Yes! You're almost as good as me. You need just one more week of everyday practice and you'll be better than me. Use these things for everyday stuff and, by the end of the month, you'll master them." Amanda advised him.

     Gellert's P.O.V.

     He was walking around his office from Frozenhouse, with his nymph, Kalia, and the blind wizard, Jack, standing between the armchairs, with their backs straight, full of nerves.
     "This is insane! Valence has to stop this and accept the fucking truth!" Kalia said and checked her left hand's manicure.
     "How did she bewitch Enos?", Gellert said as for himself.
     "Didn't you leave right before she left?" Jack asked Gellert.
     "Well, yeah... But how does that explain this?" Kalia turned to Jack.
     "Well, he left Valence alone with Enos and Dimena. Enos is weaker than Valence-"
     "But Dimena isn't!" Kalia said.
     "Yes, but she can't undo a spell from another sorcerer, when their domain is different." Jack explained.
     "So, the only ones that can confront her are her descendants..." Kalia simplified it down for her to understand.
     "Albus..." Gellert let out the breathy word.

     Albus' P.O.V.

     A month had passed since Albus started to teleport and he was great at it. He could even teleport on long distances; from their house to Amanda's work place, from her work place to a far away bar and from the bar back to their house.
     "You are perfect with these spells! Levitation, Teleportation, changing objects into other stuff, Mirroring and you know the rest! Have you ever tried that mind control spell I've given you?" Amanda asked after Albus tricked her to walk toward a mirror with his reflection. "But first, can you get rid of this mirror labyrinth? I wanna see you, not reflections."
     Albus sat down next to Amanada and the mirror labyrinth vanished. 
     "So, did you try that spell I gave you?" Amanda asked.
     "Yes. I just cannot  maintain it long enough." he confessed.
     "Try it on me. Let's see if you can control me." Amanda proposed.
     She got up, went to the kitchen and took a knife. She came back and scared Albus so bad, that he teleported in the other side of the room.
     "What the hell?!" he shouted as she approached once more.
     "You're gonna use it in a battel, so better get used to it by now." Amanda said and sliced the air, because Albus had already appeared against the bookshelves, in the other side of the room.
     Albus tried to concentrate on her mind, trying to find her weak spots. He knew she had some, but he never knew which they were. 
     She sliced the air once more, almost hitting him, but he got away on time, not teleporting this time. He grabbed her wrist and twisted it, making her drop the knife. What he had forgotten is that she was a spy for Almeea and also an assassin. She picked the knife with her toes and threw it in the air, catching it with the other hand.
     Albus appeared in the other side of the room and tried getting in her mind. It was tough, but after a little tossing and spinning to get away from her knife, he managed. He, again, was across the room and while she rushed to him, he blocked her moves. She was stuck in a running position, with the knife up.
     Albus thought about spinning her around and making her take the knife back. She did just that.
     He thought of her bringing him a bowl of ice cream and she did that.
     "C'mon, Al! I already massaged your back! Your feet too?" she asked as he thought about her sitting down and taking off his socks to rub his feet.
     "Don't I deserve one after I was threatened with a knife?" he joked and feed her from the mind controlling spell.

     Hello! This is a rather short chapter compared to the others, but I would rather write this before we get into the actual peak of the story. Also, on Wednesday, I'm going to try and post two chapters. The 4th part of "Unholy Pope" (which is gonna be smut, ofc) and... maybe... the 10th part of "The Triwizard Tournament"... or... something new. I haven't decided yet.
     But, anyways, see you around and I'm gonna announce the posting schedule for the school year when I find out my program. Love ya! Bye!!!
