A Wizard Next Door

Chapter 8 : Inquisitive Curiosity

"What a pleasant surprise." Jasper said with his hands to his hip.

"Hey!! What are you doing here?" There I go again with another lame question.

"Well I think everybody stopes by a supermarket to shop and buy groceries I guess." He kind of taunted me.

"That's what normal human being do but why is a wizard here?" That's called counter strike.

"We are different from you I accept but we also have hunger. So until I'm here, I have to eat to keep myself alive. I hope that answers your question." He lowered himself and brought his face very near to mine.

"Now tell me Ms. Troublemaker, what kind of shopping you do in a men's section and what is the need of a male razor that's in your hand." Jasper moved his eyes to the thing I was holding.

No no no no. Not again. Why the razor though?

"Oh this? This is for my dad. He's kinda busy so he sent me to shop some razors for him." I picked a few and put it in the shopping bag.

"You are quick." He said and pushed me aside.

He took his necessities and started to leave the shop. I hurried myself with the counter and tried to keep pace with him.

By the time I came out he was already gone. He just disappeared. I tried looking for him as far as my vision reached but no trace.

"Looking for me again?"

I was startled with his presence behind me. He was leaning on a wall and was looking at me from head to toe.

"Now tell me honestly why are you following me? I have been noticing you for quite a while now. You are weird." He said crossing his arms.

Did he really call me WEIRD??

"Ok I'll head straight to the point. I'm just too curious to know about you. You being a wizard and opening up it to me is quite WEIRD than me being 'weird-weird'." I replied in one breath.

"You don't look like you gain any power nor you are any danger to me and also you are the only one who witnessed my ability. That's the only reason. See ya." He put a fake smile and started to walk away.

"Do you have your own broom on which you people fly? And what about the owl? Don't you have a long pointed hat? But I can't see any with you. Where are they?" I asked excitingly.

He stopped and turned back to reply ,
"What kind of stupid movies you see? We are wizards, not anime characters. In real there's no broom or owl or hat. The only thing that's common is our chants, spells, potions and wand."

"Well.... I'm sure you will know your spells and all but where's the wand? I didn't see any of it in your room and neither one in your hand."

"Yeah because that's the reason I'm here. I lost my wand in this human world. I need to get that back and move back to where I belong." Without listening to what I have to say he left the place.

I just wanted to let you know that I can help you. But I guess you aren't ready to trust or accept me. But I won't stop trying either. Hahaha.... Oh well I need to go back and return those razors. Stupid me will never stop doing stupid things.
