A Conspiracy Foiled

The fat young student raises his head "Ha! I was only feigning sleep! I'll tell Sabrum everything! You wretched girls are in for a world of trouble!" He said with a sneer. He then turned and dashed out of the room.

Violette should have known Clars, Professor Sabrum's favourite student and the most famous tattle-tale in the Academy, would listen in on any mischief they planned. Nothing would stop him from telling now, she had learned that a long time ago. Once in hopes of shutting his mouth, she used a fire spell to burn a hole in Clars' pant's bottom. That only gave him more to tattle about.

Lena sighed. "Well, there goes that plan. Too bad, it was a really good idea, Violette."

Violette frowned. "I would release the pilgrim-hogs in the boys' dormitory if Arquest wasn't sleeping there. Clars and his friends deserve it." Many of Clars' buddies were just as bad as he was.

"So. . . What are we going to do now?" asked Nina eagerly.

"Go to bed, I guess," sighed Violette. Her two friends agreed in unison.

When Violette had retreated to her bed, she found there was a package laying on it. "Hmm, it must be a birthday present from Father," she wondered aloud. To her dissapointment, it was shaped like a book. She had been keen on a new rapier. With a sigh, she sat down and began to peel off the brown paper.

1. It was a heavy textbook, entitled "Theory in Magic".
2. It was an atlas. She wondered why father sent it to her, geography was one of the few things that bored her.
3. It was a collection of the works of Miyaki. Her disappiontment lessened, she had wanted one of her own, the one in the library was old and fading.
4. It was a bad looking fantasy novel, entitled "Lord Frederigo and the Dragon". She was even more disappionted now, this sort of book had no appeal to her.
