Return to Halloweentown Page #3

I got your card, and, um, I just...

Holy... smokes.

Marnie. I'm Aneesa,

your resident advisor.

My resident advisor's a genie?

The first to be accepted

to Witch University.

- My parents are very proud. Tea?

- Yes, thank you.

I invited you here to talk about you.

Any questions about the school?

Yeah. What's with the three style slaves

that patrol the commons?

Sinister sisters.

Well, I mean,

they're a bit snippy, but...

Sinister's their real name.

Scarlett, Sapphire and Sage Sinister.

Their father's

a very rich and powerful warlock.

They rule the school.

Specials today

are monster mash with pigs' wings,

dung beetle salad, newts' eye gravy

and succotash a la scorpion.

Thank you.

Hey, if magic is illegal,

how come they get to use it?

They're not.

Some guys will do anything for Scarlett

and her sisters, even if it's illegal.

Teacher!

Don't they have any self-respect?

- Hey.

- Hey.

Wow. That's quite a vocabulary

you guys got there.

I can hardly keep up.

Marnie, this is...?

Ethan Dalloway.

You two know each other?

I just wanted to say I'm sorry,

you know, for everything.

No, I'm sorry.

It must be really difficult,

dealing with your father's exile.

Yeah, but your grandma's been great.

I worked for her over the summer,

helping her collect potion ingredients.

- Snake spit, frog phlegm...

- Mmm.

We get the picture.

- You guys want to sit down?

- Yeah.

So do you have your class list yet?

Yeah, I've got History of the World,

Magic Immortal, Magic Themes

Using Classic Literature...

You know, pretty normal college classes.

So what's up with this no magic rule?

That's new. Students used to be required

to use their magic in classes.

That was when Witch University

was for witches only,

no monsters or mummies

or genies allowed.

- When did it change?

- Last year.

- Who's the dork that changed it?

- You are.

Me?

When you opened the portal

between the worlds

kids from Halloweentown

went to college in the mortal world.

- Why would they do that?

- Why would anyone go off to college?

To get away from Mom and Dad, far away.

A world away.

Witch University needed more students so

they opened enrollment to non-witches.

- That's how I got in, because of you.

- Well, that's great,

- but why no magic?

- To level the academic playing field.

It wouldn't be fair if witches

could use magic to do coursework

and the rest had to do it

the old-fashioned way.

But look around.

Some of us aren't following the rules.

The Sinister sisters, those guys.

They're using magic.

But they make sure

no faculty member is watching.

That's rule number two. Do all the magic

you want, just don't get caught.
