Athena came running and saw them. "Glacies Conjurare!" she shouted, but the spell created a lot of ice mixed with water. Athena, Felix, and Rowan found themselves being lifted by the rising water and ice.

As Lucian walked, he encountered a large pool of water. Athena, Rowan, and Felix yelled, "Get away!" Lucian's eyes turned blue, and he shouted, "Verum Reparo!" The water quickly receded. Athena, Felix, and Rowan thanked him, but Lucian simply walked away as if nothing had happened.

Rowan quipped, "Well, at least we don't have to shower now," prompting laughter from Felix and Athena.

After they finished drying off, Athena asked, "What happened?"

Rowan replied, "Well, if someone named Felix hadn't used his wand and cast a spell called Draconis Evocare, this wouldn't have happened!"

Felix retorted, "Don't blame this on me! You made the dragon bigger!"

Rowan shouted, "I only did that to make it stop!"

Athena intervened, "Both of you, shut up! We don't need to fight."

Athena asked, "Um, guys, do you want to come with me to call my mother on the magic mirror?"

Felix replied, "Yes, sure."

Rowan nodded in agreement.

They walked over to the mirror, and Athena said, "Mirror, call Morgana Nightshade."

The mirror's color shifted from red to blue, and Athena's mother appeared.

"My dear child, how are you?" Morgana Nightshade asked. "How was your first day of school?"

Athena replied, "Oh, well, it was good."

Her mother noticed Felix and Rowan and asked, "Who are these two boys?"

Athena replied, "Oh, well, they're my friends, Mother."

"Well, excellent, my child. And what are your names?" Morgana Nightshade asked.

"I am Felix Ravenwood, and I am Rowan Flameheart," they replied.

"Nice to meet you, Ravenwood and Flameheart," Morgana responded.

"Nice to meet you too, Miss Nightshade," Felix and Rowan said in unison.

Then they heard someone call out, "Miss Nightshade, come here! There's an important mission."

Athena's mother was surprised. "Excuse me, what's more important than a mother-and-daughter moment?"

Lucian, who was outside, was surprised to hear that some parents make time for their children. He sat on a chair and waited until they were done.

"Don't worry, Mother, it's okay," Athena assured her mother.

"Are you sure, my dear?" her mother asked, and Athena nodded.

"Okay, well, see you next time then," her mother said.

"Bye, Mother," Athena said, and her mother replied, "Bye, my dear."

The magic mirror suddenly went out, and Rowan suggested, "Whoever's last in the dorm has to clean the red mirror!" All three of them raced to the dormitory.

Athena soon remarked, "The red mirror is already clean," and everyone burst into laughter.

However, their jovial mood changed when Lucian and his friends arrived. Felix questioned, "Why do we have to look so serious?"

Athena explained, "He's from an important family."

As Lucian walked past, Felix noticed a scar on his arm and reached out to ask about it. Lucian dismissed it, saying, "It's nothing," but Felix remained skeptical. Athena interjected, "Felix, stop before he gets mad."

The next day, Felix and Rowan woke up, changed, and made their way to the dining hall. Athena stood up from the Silverspell table and joined Felix and Rowan at their table.

Rowan responded, "Since when can't you sit at other tables anymore?"

The girl stood up and shouted, "Hey, guys, Flameheart doesn't know you can't sit by other tables!" She laughed.

Felix stood up too and yelled, "If you don't have any friends to sit with by the tables that are with you, then if someone else wants to sit with their friends, you better shut up and let them!"

After a moment, Felix calmed down a bit and added, "It's not her fault you don't have any friends."

The girl became embarrassed and ran away.

Rowan said, "What was her problem?"

Felix replied, "I don't know either, but she just made me so angry."

Athena added, "It's not like they said we can't sit with our friends."

Felix agreed, "Yeah, they never said we can't move from our table."

As the three of them talked, there was a sudden silence, then someone screamed, "OMG, IT'S THE FLAMEHEART DUO!"

Everyone ran, and Felix looked at Rowan while Athena also turned her gaze toward him. Rowan sighed, "Ugh, it's my brother and sister who always need to steal the show."

Athena said, "Well, you're good at things too..."

Felix chimed in, "Yeah, like in the Elemental Magic class when you made the whole classroom catch on fire. That was cool."

Athena screamed, "You did what?!"

Rowan quickly said, "Uh, my brother and sister are here. Don't we need to go to them?" He grabbed Felix by the elbow, and they ran, with Athena running alongside them.

When the three arrived, they waited and soon saw a broomstick approaching. On it were the Flameheart duo, who cast the spell "Ignis Festiva," creating a breathtaking fireworks display. Everyone looked up in amazement at the spectacle.

After landing safely, Ember greeted the new students, saying, "Welcome, new students, to Shadowcrest Academy! I hope your experience here becomes even more wonderful than it already is."

Blaze added, "Yeah, we want you guys to enjoy the new school year to the fullest!"

"Blaze remarked, 'Well, what a wonderful day!'

Ember chimed in, 'A wonderful day for more fireworks!'

Together, they cast the spell 'Ignis Festiva,' and the sky lit up with even more dazzling displays.

Blaze and Ember then gestured for Rowan to join them, calling out, 'Rowan, come here!'

Rowan dashed over and embraced his older brother and sister.

Blaze inquired, 'So, what was your first lesson?'

Rowan replied, 'It was Elemental Magic.'

Ember nodded approvingly, 'Ah, that's a really good class.'

Blaze agreed, 'Yes, it is.'

He then asked, 'Did you make any new friends?'

Rowan smiled, 'Yes, their names are Felix and Athena. Those are their first names, not their last names.'

Ember teased, 'Oh, you've already got the first name pass! Good going, little bro!'

Rowan laughed and said, 'Well, they're waiting for me. I gotta go.'

Blaze and Ember waved, saying, 'Bye, little bro!'"

Rowan grimaced, "Please not Professor Lorencraft. My brother said she was mean."

Just then, they heard a voice behind them. "Well, Mr. Flameheart, your brother also did not listen to the instructions I gave."

Rowan quickly apologized to her, and she added, "Don't worry about it. People can get the wrong idea of others all the time."

As she left, Rowan felt relieved. "That was lucky," he said.

Athena nodded in agreement. "True. If she hadn't forgiven you when she almost wanted to punish you..."

Rowan interrupted, "Don't say that sort of thing, Athena. Don't scare me like that."

"Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry," Athena said sheepishly.

Their conversation was cut short by the arrival of Professor Alaric Thorne, who announced, "Alright, students, it's time for your next class. Follow me."

As they made their way to the next class, Felix whispered to Rowan, "Do you think we'll run into any more trouble today?"

Rowan shrugged, "With our luck? Probably."

Athena laughed, "Let's just try to stay out of trouble, okay?"

Felix grinned, "I'll try, but no promises."

They all chuckled and followed Professor Thorne to their next class, ready to face whatever adventures awaited them at Shadowcrest Academy.
