The Theft

Day two was less nerve wrecking, and tomorrow is the weekend. Melony started to read the chapter about fairies, brownies, and pixies when she noticed something during roll call.

"George Greengrass," Melony thought about the similarities between George and there teacher. Freckled faces, curly dark brown hair, and bushy eyebrows.

"Psst," Melony whispered to her friend "are they related?"

"Who?"

"Mr. Greengrass and your friend." She discreetly pointed at George.

"Oh, yah. He's George's dad."

"Now," the teacher said loudly to quiet down the class "can anybody tell me the difference between fairies, pixies, and brownies?" George was the first person to raise his hand.

At the end of class, Melony worked on her creature's studies assignment, similarities between fairies, brownies, and pixies. The differences weren't numerous, but the similarities were. There small, flying, mischief makers that cause trouble.

But what she really looked forward to is history, Mrs. Greengrass said she had a bit of a surprise for them. Melony and Ella sat in their assigned seat and waited for the teacher. Mrs. Greengrass came in with a long table that had gold clothe covering it, and a glass covering the objects. She placed it in front of the classroom and allowed the students to take a closer look.

"This," She said while pointing at a shiny gold ring with a large turquoise jewel in the center "is a genies ring. If the owner rubs it, the genie will grant any wish and, there is no wish limitation."

"And here," she pointed at a diamond necklace that had a long silver chain "is the pendant of invisibility."

"Oh, and this," it went on for a while, there is a pair of lace gloves that could make the wearer move objects. A skull of the first Phoenix, and the hilt of a sword decorated in rocks and metals that can fight by itself.

"Last but not least, The Book of The Beginning," she tapped her wooden wand on the glass case and it opened. She pulled out a wooden box that had intricate woodwork and sparkling gems. She tapped the lock with her wand and it opened, inside pieces of old dirty paper were magically held together.

"This was made by witches from all four areas of magic, but only a woman named G. Everest, a wind user was caught. These were the witches that brought forth the world destruction that ended all non-magic users. This is a replica of their manifesto, the original also has the spell they used to -."

CRASH! It came from the hallway outside the classroom. They dropped everything and ran out. In the hallway a bucket full of coins littered the floor. Pennies, dimes, and quarters were everywhere, the only people there were the teachers and their students. Everyone talked and stood around the mess wondering what just happened.

"Maybe it was the older kids." Ella told Melony.

"My brother might do something like this." The teachers took care of the mess and sent it up to the principal's office. Everyone went back to the classroom to continue. But, when the history class went back to the classroom, there was a problem. The genie ring, necklace of invisibility, and gloves of levitation were gone. The doors were locked, Mrs. Greengrass took role call, and the principal was summoned. As they waited for the principal, the first years were free to talk among themselves.

"What's happening?" Melanie asked.

"We've only been here for two and a half days. How could this happen?" Said Ella.
