Simon walked into camp, excited. She was told that they would be learning more magic here, for two weeks. The counselors greeted her, eagerly asking her if she was "Ready for some magic" She just laughed and shook her head. Hogwarts student's weren't allowed to practice magic outside of school, so how were they supposed to learn more? She quickly found out. As soon as all the campers were seated and quiet, a lady with a top hat and cape came out. She said her name was "The Great Magicia" and went over camp rules like it was a quest. Then, she said, "For our very fist magic lesson, I need a very special volunteer!" Several hands flew up, and she called on a boy who looked about six. She then told him to "Pick a card, any card" the boy chose a card, and was instructed to show it to the audience. He obeyed, and Simon saw a queen of spades. It then hit her that this wasn't a camp where you learned Spells. You learned muggle card tricks. She slumped down, grumpy that she wasn't going to be taught anymore. The little boy gave the card to The Great Magicia, and she "Shuffled" the deck. Then, she flipped of the top card, revealing the little boys queen of spades. He was ecstatic. Poor kid, Simon thought. He thinks this lady can awaken the dead The rest of the day went by, in a blaze of boredom. Lunch, was, of course, "Enchanted apples" and "Magically Made Pizza" When the parents finally came to pick them up, Simon already knew she did not want to go back the next day.

Amelia woke up, realizing it was her first day at magic camp. Oh my goodness she thought. I'll get to go to a camp where I can do magic! But wait... I thought we weren't supposed to do magic outside of Hogwarts! Huh..
When Amelia arrived at camp, saying goodbye to her parents, she walked by the counselors, and sat down next to some kids. When everyone was seated, a woman named 'the Great Magicia' came to show everyone their very first magic lesson. Wait Amelia thought. Is that.. a deck of cards?!? It occurred to Amelia that these muggles had no idea what real magic was, so the closest thing they could get to it was... this. How frustrating.
Amelia was so bored by the rest of this 'magic' that she didn't even remember anything else that happened that day. She didn't even remember what she had for lunch. Was it pizza or ice cream or anything like that, she did not know. All she did know was that it was complete waste of her time. When she left though, she thought she saw somebody that she knew. She couldn't quite remember her name. I think she's a first year from Hufflepuff! Amelia thought. Maybe the rest of camp wasn't going to be as dull and tedious as she thought!

Simon came back the next day, because her parents had work. She noticed there was a girl- a girl she knew! She was a first year Ravenclaw, Amelia Randensmith. At least she had a friend.
Maybe, with her, camp could be less boring!
Simon walked up, and said hello. "Don't I know you from hogwarts?" She asked. She didn't wanna seem creepy by just saying the girls name! "Yeah!" She said, clearly excited, and also bored by muggle magic. "Simon, right?"
Ok, maybe Simon should walked up and called her name. "Yeah, and your Amelia!"
The Great Magica made an overdramatic entrance, and told everyone to be seated. That day, they were working on slight of hand. She called up Simon today, and pulled three coins from behind her ear. She wasn't impressed. She could levitate a feather, come on! "Points for participation?" She joked as she sat down next to Amelia. She laugh, making Magicia call her up to pull three more coins from her ear. She came back trying to hold laughter. "Everyone!" Magicia clapped her hands for everyone's attention. she talked about how the history of performing magic was dangerous. Simon knew what Amelia and her were thinking.
Well, no duh.

Isla walked into the camp, she wasn't sure what to expect from it, being a muggle camp and all, but it somehow, she convinced her parents to let her go, she watched as the couple walked to an alley and disappeared with the Apparition charm.

She was confused about how they would do magic without using wands, and quickly felt disappointed, cards? Really, why would she even bother to be disappointed, she should have expected that.

'The Great Magicia', more like a great scam, had taken her wiliness to be there, but she couldn't just go back to Scotland or to her aunt's home, so she had to suck it in and suffer though her first summer camp. She let out a soft scoff when the supposed magician used cards as 'magic'. She was sure she had seen some of the other girls from the sorting ceremony, but she wasn't sure. Isla didn't notice when they ate or did activities, too focused on trying to discover their house.

Isla came back the next day, determined to talk to the girls, though she didn't know who they were or if they actually attended to Hogwarts, but maybe, hanging out with them the camp wouldn't be so boring.

The next couldn't be worse, a coin? Wizards could make it morph into something else, like a needle, and she was completely annoyed, she noticed the other two girls and in boldness she approached them while the scam woman was doing muggle tricks. "Hi, I'm Isla" She presented herself, looking at them.

Day three: a little less boring, now that Simon had Amelia. However, soon their bored little duet, would become a bored little trio. A girl walked up to them and introduced herself.
"Hi, I'm Isla." She said. "Hey, Isla! I think I recognize you from Hogwarts, I'm Simon." She introduced herself, almost certain. All the younger kids ran around screaming, and Simon expected The Great Magicia to walk up any second and get them sat down.
Any second now...
Still waiting...
Okay, what was going on?
"Hey, where's Magicia? Simon asked her friends. They both stood and looked around, before sitting back down, puzzled.
A camp counselor came up on the podium and silenced the boys. She called their names and pointed at them, and they instantly fell quiet. They all ran to their seats. And the counselor began speaking.
"It appears as though 'The Great Magicia' is sick today, so sick, they won't be back the rest of the week." The counselor looked at the small crowd in front of her. A kid coughed. One called out, "She can use her magic to heal herself!" The counselor shook her head.
"I'm afraid not." She said, before stepping down and passing out decks of UNO and coloring sheets.
What's going on? She seemed like she was keeping a secret. Simon thought.
And the way she got those boys quiet, it was almost like...
Magic.
"Okay, call me crazy, but Magicia and that counselor went to Hogwarts." She blurted out, just as Isla was getting UNO. The counselor looked around, shoved the deck into Isla's hands, and ran to get another few decks. 'The Great Magicia' wasn't sick. She was in danger.

Isla look at Simon with a murderous look, the counsellor could hear them, she was sure of it, after she was at a prudent distance from the girls she finally talked, “She what?" Isla considered Simon's words, shutting up before actually responding. It did make sense that Magicia was a witch, but then why would she be here, in a muggle camp, than in Hogwarts or working for the ministry? She looked at Simon, and Isla noticed why she could think that, the counsellor instructed the muggle kids to sit, and they obeyed, but…

”'Kay, could be, but then, she wouldn't be wasting her time here, I mean, I wouldn't, and plus, maybe the counsellor is respected, or she used magic, I don't know, but we need to figure this out” Isla finally said, if Simon's suspicions were right, which Isla highly doubted, they could be in danger too, Isla decided to tell that to them “But, if she went that would say they were in danger, and therefore, we would be too, which is nonsense, who'd like to hurt us?” Isla informed, looking at the UNO confused, “Is this a game like magic chess, or something like that?” She was sure the other girls would look at her strangely, but she wasn't sure what it was. These weren't the cards Magicia had the first day, and muggle things weren't her strongest topic, maybe chess, same moves, same pieces, but the UNO card, she was completely lost.

Amelia glanced at Isla and Simon. What just happened? Amelia thought. And could Simon be right? I mean, it's possible. But like Isla said, why waste her time here? If she really was magical, then maybe she wouldn't even be here in the first place! Then Amelia contemplated even more. But Simon could be right. What if she is in danger?? Her thoughts racing, she grew more and more nervous. omg, what if we could be in danger too? But what if this is all wrong and the Great Magicia really is sick? But then how could the counselor silence those boys with so much ease?? Then Amelia stopped. "Guys, if the Great Magicia is in trouble, I think... w-we should try to help her. I mean, it's possible she's not in trouble, but... I don't know I really feel like something's wrong here.."

Amelia had a good idea. Help Magicia. "I agree. How though?" Simon asked. They couldn't just leave camp, or their homes to look for a missing magician. The counselor walked over and handed Simon a note.
Girls,
It seems as though you've figured us out. 'The Great Magicia' and I are witches. Magicia is in danger, and I can't help her alone. Please, Write back if you want to help.
- Jade
Simon showed Amelia and Isla the note. "She is in danger" She said. "Amelia, you said we should help her, and Jade can't do it alone, so I think we should."
Both girls nodded.
"Okay. Ill write back telling her we'll help.
The note she wrote back said:
Jade,
We do want to help. Please let us know how we can. What kind of danger is 'The Great Magicia' in?
Simon wrote the note, while Amelia and Isla came up with what to say. Once they were finished, they all signed it.
Simon, Amelia, Isla
Isla gave her the note, and Simon could see her talking to Jade. When she got back, She asked what UNO was. Simon explained that it was a muggle card game of colors, numbers, and sabotage. They all tried to act like everything was fine, but they were failing.

Though it didn't look like she was super excited about Simon agreeing to her on the outside, Amelia's thoughts were the COMPLETE OPPOSITE! omg omg omg YESSSSSSS! she thought. Finally, someone agrees with me! "I agree. How though?" Simon had asked.
That's when Amelia's happy thoughts stopped. oh no.. now that Simon and - I think Isla agrees too? - are saying yes, we have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT TO DO NEXT! NOOOOOOOO! she screamed. Except she didn't actually scream. She just screamed in her head.
Amelia thought and thought. What should she do? she kept asking herself. Until...


The counselor walked over and dropped a note. After Amelia was able to read it, she realized we can actually help! She was so happy she was about to celebrate when.. No. How do we know this is true? I know that I said it myself, something weird with the Great Magicia is going on. She must be in trouble! But why would anyone, like Jade, just cave in like that? Humans tend to always be on the sneakier, more secret side, especially us wizards. But how come I'm thinking like this when some of this helping idea was actually mine?? Amelia felt torn. She didn't know what to do next. But when Simon wrote a note to give to Jade, Amelia admitted to herself she did sign the paper rather reluctantly. Hopefully nobody notices. she thought.
