Sapphire POV

I heard some people discussing outside. I was really nervous. If I did get into magic, no matter how much I explained, I'd be kicked out of FwF.

Ssundee walks in.
"Now that you've had a taster of everything, I want you to fill this out again and we'll finalise your classes."

I quickly tick swordfighting, and hand it back to him.
"Only swordfighting? Ok, let me check the teachers notes to see if you have to take anything else."

The moment of truth. Except he has to go through all the other classes and I'm pretty sure Magic is at the back. I wait quietly. I assume they already talked about this in the meeting. Can't he just tell me?

"Congratulations Sapphire! You got into Magic!" My heart stops. "I know it wasn't on your list, but Nico is hard to please so to be told that your magic is 'very strong' is a compliment." He seems so fricking proud too! I don't want anything to do with magic, but I don't want to give my cover.

I beam at him like I gave a damn about exceeding high expectations. I don't, I really don't, but being praised does boost my self-esteem.

"Right, so here's your timetable for your classes and meals. You're welcome to eat elsewhere if you don't want our cafeteria food." He smiles as if he just made a joke.

I read my timetable then check the time.
"I guess I better go off then so I don't arrive late." I smile.
"An avid learner, eh? Good for you!" I smile again and leave.
