" Can't we try and open it again? " Ryan sighed thoughtfully, " It just MIGHT work ... You never know. " I plop myself down in to one of the dining chairs and put my head in my hands " Well; we could. Okay then, but we have to go after lunch again, the courtyard is always empty by then. Hopefully we can get in. Probably not, but you never know until you try I suppose. " Ryan walks over and takes a seat beside me. "Coming everyone, Lunch is coming in a minute!! Just wait your turn, and at least TRY and be patient. Thank you. " Lauren shouts at the top of her lungs while rushing around serving people. " You know you still look like a prune you know! " I say trying to change the subject. " You know you still look like a zombie! " He retorts with a smirk. That's our favourite insult, we say it for fun. We say " Did you catch any sleep yesterday, cos' you look like a zombie. " And " did you catch to much sun yesterday, cos' you look like a prune. " We eat our lunch in deep silence and in a lot of deep thought. Once we had finished our bagels with crisps and our juice we told Lauren where we were going and then wondered of to the courtyard.

After lunch Ryan and Hannah are sitting in the courtyard.

" Right, shall we try now, Hannah? I think we should. Please, I'm desperate, there could be, like, a witch and a warlock, like in those fairytales! " He said excitedly with a big grin, showing off his dimples. Sometimes I worry about him and I seriously think he was picked up from a under a blackberry bush. Really I do. Anyway, I replied with " Seriously, you think so? In your dreams, little one. " and Ryan said, " I do think so! Hey, I'm NOT little!! " as we walked towards the door and reached and extended out our arms and put both our hands onto the doorknob ... We ... disappeared!! I mean it. Like disappeared into thin air ... But not thin air though, into a room. A strange sort of room; one with comfy couches and colourful cushions, paintings and clocks, boxes and tables, we were underground ... And on one of those brown leather couches sat ... a ... Well I don't even know! He had beady browish-blueish-greenish eyes which glittered and sparkled and a gray beard and hair, matched with a crooked nose, and he was a medium height. As I snapped my self out of thought and looked at Ryan ... who's mouth was gaping like a fish. I could see mine was too, in the grand mirror at the far side of the room. The creature began to talk - " Hello, little ones! ". My thoughts resumed as I thought about how nervous I am. I mean is this ' Thing ' safe? Is he about to kidnap us and hold us randsome?! I managed to shoot a nervous glance and Ryan and managed also to mouth ' Who IS this guy? Are we safe, he's gonna kidnap us, God I'm so scared???!!

" Um ... Urrr ... Urrrmm ... Hello? " I whispered nervously. " Hello, I've been expecting you. " His extremely loud voice booming out like a speaker. " Hi my name is Ryan and this is Hannah. " Ryan said his voice quivering. " What are you? Who are you? Where are you from? " I mangaged to choke out. " Ah, good question, Little One, I though I had mentioned that before. Anyway my name is Genorglumhumwiseki but people call me Glenor and my species is comeerstripetass which is a type of witch and warlock together. People always call me the ' Wise One ' because I am old and have a lot of experience. " He said with a smile. " I am not little " I said with annoyance. Glenor being Glenor decided to annoy me even more and said - " Very Well, Little One! " ...
