Molly Discovers Magic (Then Wants to Un-discover It)
He was trying hard not to cry I could tell He is only six years old after all At ten years old I’d never cry at something like that I am not a baby I’m sorry Damien I said He sat up and rubbed his backside Then he looked at me with his eyes all squinty Boogerface he said He was okay I stepped back and shrugged You forgot to pack your bags I said He stood up and scrunched his face What do you mean he asked I punched him in the shoulder For the trip you just took MOM Damien yelled
The next day during library hour I knew exactly what I had to do I marched up to Ms Hill the librarian She didn’t look up I stood there for a moment then I cleared my throat real loud AHEM She looked up Magic Ms Hill I said I have a very important question for you She smiled at me and nodded If I wanted to learn about magic I continued what book would I look up Well she said we have How to Do Magic Tricks over in the how-to section I shook my head No different magic REAL magic Ms Hill looked at me puzzled I’m not sure what you mean Molly
I leaned in and whispered I mean Ms Hill if someone I knew had magic powers where could she learn about how to control them I could have really hurt Damien when he tripped What if I couldn’t get control of my magic and I hurt someone else I see she said Yes we might have just the thing for you I think librarians have their own magic
Chapter 2 Nothing But Bad Luck Olive I took the package from the postal worker Damaged I said She shrugged and smiled Sorry Olive It had to come back to you because it is too damaged to send Then she walked back to her truck leaving me with a wrecked package It was a complete mess I really hoped the T-shirt T-shirt inside the one I’d made for Molly wasn’t ruined I put the package under my arm and walked up the stairs to my house
