Isa was wondering around London with her siblings. She supposed she knew how she got to this point. Her mother, Cassandra, had gone to a friends' gathering in a pub, so she was left to wander around London with her siblings, Alex and Auriela.
She spotted a shop in the distance, and decided it was the perfect time for an adventure. She sped off toward the shop, yelling, "Come on Aura (pronounced Ara), Alex!" She ran through the door and slowed down.
The place must have been a wizarding library, she thought, for there were at least twenty books per shelf, and they were all well worn. She wandered around, looking at books, when a book near the back of the shop caught her attention. It looked like it would take a while to read, and the book looked fascinating.
Isa went over to pull the book off the shelf, but instead of removing the book, the book went down like a lever and an area of the wall in the back of the book shop vanished.
Isa assumed this was the work of witches, wizards, and willows (my words for nonbinary witches/wizards), but why would they make a secret area for themselves, when the whole book shop was magical? The bookshop itself was already protected from the muggle eye, so what was it's purpose?
Isa walked through the space in the wall, and into the room beyond. Wait, room? Yep, there was a room behind the wall. Isa first noticed that there were several different witches, wizards, and willows that looked like they were from all around the world, then she noticed that they were all school aged.
After that, she noticed that her closely friend Riley was sitting in the gathering of students. "Riley! What are you doing here?"
Riley looked up; saw Isa and smiled. "Izzy! This is a book club for people all around the world! The catch is that they have to try to maintain politeness no matter what! They also have to be school age."
"How do you all get back to your homes?" Isa asked.
Someone else whom Isa didn't know replied, "We have portkeys for each area! It's pretty cool. We also tried our best to make them untraceable." Isa went over to sit down next to that person. They were wearing a skirt that was to their knees with a tank top. There was a person next to them who was wearing a t-shirt and shorts. On the left hand sides at the top of both of their uniforms sat a tiny palm tree 🌴 symbol.
The person who had replied had brown skin, and wavy honey/brown hair. Their hair was to their shoulders. Their eyes were sea blue/green. They also wore sandals. "Hi, I'm Isabella, but you can call me Izzy or Isa. My pronouns are she/her. What's your name?" Isa asked.
They replied, "I'm Finley. I use they/them pronouns. That's my brother, Kai." Kai also had honey/brown hair, but his was short and straight. He also had brown skin and blue/green eyes. Unlike his sibling, Kai had freckles. He also wore one ear piercing in each ear, in the cartilage of his ears.
"Hi, Kai!" Isa said.
Kai huffed, "I'm not mad at you, it's just that my sister dragged me here and there hasn't been much talk of Amari and the Night Brothers(real book, all credit goes to the author)."
Isa gasped, "Oh my goodness! I love ❤️ Amari and the Night Brothers." And that's how Isabella Dín got not one, but two of her true friends.
