'And here we have the great, the magnificent Harry Magini'! Harry
Magini was also known as Magini, he was the exceptional wizard of
his time. He was also the best-natured wizard to be alive. He had a
wonderful family, his wife Carla and his son Alex. One day a tragic
day arose. Magini was preparing for a monumental act in history but
gangsters were around swooping people, they caught Magini. He
tried to fight back but was taken away.
Throughout the years, the Magini family have been filled with
emptiness and sorrow. As years went by Alex discovered a spellbook
owned by his father. It was a guide to becoming a wizard, as
Alex was reading he was very fascinated because it contained an
adventure to become a wizard, Alex loved adventures even if it was
the littlest. He thought and dreamt about it. Then one day Alex
asked his mum pleadingly and she agreed.He set off on his
dangerous adventure. Carla was extremely anxious about letting her
son go. Day after day Alex was looking for a place for shelter,
finally Alex approached a cave, he heard groans and moans in the
cave where he came across an old and very weak man. Alex
discovered food and water in a nearby stream. He brought fish and
fresh water for the old man, Jeremiah. "So, Alex started, "how did
you manage to come around here?"
Jeremiah explained his story where the crooks approached,
kidnapping wizard after wizard, and he never saw his family again.
Jeremiah asked what Alex was doing in the forest, Alex announced
proudly that he is to become a wizard. From then on his adventure
began.
So day after day, which became week after week Alex almost
mastered all of the spells and potions. "Today I shall teach you
teleporting" said Jeremiah calmly, Alex gave it a go and Jeremiah
was amazed that Alex mastered it so quickly. Later Jeremiah
confirmed to Alex to find his father and disappeared.
Alex teleported successfully and approached a campsite. Then
suddenly he heard a voice " this time you stay up unlike before to
steal the banks gold, we almost went to jail because of you"! Alex
hid, he saw a man tied up to a tree, Alex decided to rescue the man
at midnight. Hours later the the crook growled "stay out of trouble
you Magini !" And rode off on his brown stallion. Alex raced to get
Magini he only just realised who he was. Magini wept to see his son
all grown.The vile villain was back he was more furious than you can
imagine. Alex and Magini sprinted, bullets and guns were
everywhere.
They arrived in a forest, They needed to teleport to get home,
"Trapizo!" exclaimed Magini and disappeared into dust. In the deep
blue night sky they were safely at home. As they walked into the
house there was a spark of light along the staircase, it was Carla,
she just stood in shock, she was so happy and grateful that they
were safe. After that Harry Magini was retired and Alex was now the
greatest wizard of their time...so far.
