Connor made his way to Ambrose's room, assuming that Sabrina would rope him into her demon hunt, hoping to find his cousin and formulate a plan to keep Sabrina safe.


He wasn't surprised to see both his sister and cousin in the latter's room, searching through countless books for the demon's name. Connor walked in and began to help them look wordlessly, finding the demon in only a few minutes.


He sat the book in front of Sabrina, leaving it open to the page about the demon in Uncle Jesse: Apophis, the devouring worm.


Sabrina chuckled softly, "Ah, got you, creep."


"Huh," Ambrose asked.


"Apophis, his name's Apophis," Sabrina explained, "If we can fuse the pieces together can I trap the demon like I did the Batibat?"


Ambrose held the two pieces of the sealing stone before replying, "You'll have to get it out of Jesse Putnam, first."


Timeskip:


The day had passed quickly and without much incident, night falling quickly. Connor had just been released from his mythical creatures class. He was instructed to give a stack of papers to Blackwood, the teacher of Sabrina's conjuring class, which wouldn't be an issue if she wasn't laser-focused on finding a way to stop Apophis.


He knocked on the open doorframe, Blackwood shifting his focus from his chalkboard to the Spellman, "Mr. Spellman, please, enter. What can I do for you?"


"I apologize for the intrusion, Father Blackwood," Connor responded, "I was instructed to deliver these papers to you."


"Please," Blackwood asked, taking the papers from Connor's hands, "Mr. Spellman, do you know anything about demons?"


"A fair amount, Father," He responded respectfully, "There are a plethora of texts about them in the library and Sanctum."


"Perhaps you could enlighten us about them," Father Blackwood asked, likely trying to play the Spellman as a fool.


"I suppose," Connor replied before starting, "Originally from the time of Homer, the word "demon" was used to describe a being of benevolence, further instigated by more popular texts and myths than our own."


"Quite right, Mr. Spellman," Father Blackwood cut him off, "Do inform your instructor that I'll return these when I'm finished."


"Certainly, Father Blackwood," Connor replied before leaving the classroom, relishing in the dirty looks that the Sisters' shot his way.


Mythical creatures was his final class for the day so Connor headed home, hoping to have at least a couple hours of quiet before everything hit the fan. After greeting his aunts, he made his way to his room, his familiar sprawled across his bed on her stomach, surrounded by books.
