Setting the box on the table Grannie explained to Markl."This is the family wizard box, you are to take this to school with you."
"But Grannie",Markl interrupted "I can't take this to school. People might try to steal it, and it looks priceless to me."
"Let me try to explain this to you in a somewhat calm fashion." Grannie began. Markl opened his mouth to say something, but Grannie cut him off. " You see, Markl, you are not going back to your shool next year but to the finest school of wichcraft and wizardry."
"Let me guess Hogwarts." Markl said, almost laughing out loud.
"No." Grannie said with a impatient tone she hardly ever used."You are going to go to Arzona. And I don't want you to interrupt me again!" Grannie went on to explain that he would be the representative of his family, and be expected to follow the rules. " Any questions?"Grannie asked.
"Well, there are a few things I don't understand."Markl puased. grannie nodded for him to go on."First, I don't have magic, so how can I be a wizard?"
Grannie answered instantly, "Your magic doesn't have to show to be there. Any more questions?"
"What is that fabric made of, and how old is this?" Asked Markl looking at the fabric.
"Its made from something called moonbeam plant; which only grows on top of the mountains of Greece. It is extremly rare. Now, how old is the box?"Markl nodded his head. Grannie continued saying, "I don't really know how old it is, but I guess its about a hundred or so years old."
"Wow." was all Markl could say.
Just then the phone rang. Grannie motioned Markl to sit back down. "Let them leave a message." She told him. "Meanwhile see if you can fit this." she added pointing to the clothes.
"Hello. you have reach the Burd resedents of 550-3834. Please leave a message and we will get back to you as soon as possible." went the answering machine. beep.
"Hi, this is Mr. Silvermead and I would like to inform you of a strange person standing in your lawn. He is dressed in some weird white fabric, and is just standing there. Well, thats all. Bye."
Markl looked at Grannie when the message stopped, but she wasn't there. He got up and walked down the hall. She was looking out the window inn the front parlor. "Grannie, who is it?"
Grannie didn't answer. Then a knock sounded at the door.
