49 A New Normal


    It was surprisingly easy to make expensive looking clothing from what I had. I didn''t copy the style perfectly, of course. It made what I had look custom made and not bought from a shop. Tailored would be how the students would describe it and they would recognize the difference automatically. I would need to pick up more clothing soon and make them simr.


    Louise was stunned as she watched me dress in my ''new'' clothes and then she blushed, because she had seen me in my boxer shorts and now I looked like a proper noble. It''s just too bad I went with the wife option and told them I was married, because the look of desire on her face gave me a tingly feeling.


    <i>No, no, no. I really did just get married. Stop with the perverted thoughts of turning her upside down and eating her out.</i> I thought and tried to push the image of a tuft of pink fluffy hair above her dripping slit out of my head.


    Louise must have seen something on my face because she blushed again.


    “My apologies, Louise. You''re just too cute to not regret that I''m married.” I said as an exnation.


    That made her blush a deeper red and she stammered something about arrogant married people. Louise changed her clothing as well, right in front of me, and I couldn''t stop myself from staring at her. If her hair was shorter and silver-white, she would have been a near identical copy of Koneko.


    “Yes, I definitely regret being married.” I muttered.


    Louise ignored me, thankfully. At least, I thought she did. It wasn''t until she was leading me down the hallway that I noticed her back was ramrod straight and she had a smile on her face as she told me the meal schedule and that she wasn''t sure if I was allowed to attend sses with her or not.


    I agreed that I needed to go over her previous year''s schooling to see what they had been taught. I didn''t really have anything topare it to, since I had no formal schooling about magic. Grayfia had been a fantastic teacher for the short time I had spent with her, however. I could only imagine what being under her tutge for a year would have done for my understanding and usage of magic.


    We entered the school''s cafeteria, which was a huge great hall with four long tables. Everyone seemed to stop what they were doing, namely talking to each other, and they turned to stare at us. Of course, since I knew I had to change that despised first impression that the rest of the school would have of me when they first saw me, I started to wave at them like I was the Queen of Ennd.


    “Good evening. Nice to meet you. Thank you for the warm wee. I should be joining you in sses tomorrow. Yes, I''m a magic user. I have a wand, too. Shocking, I know!” I rambled as we walked down the tables to where Louise''s ss sat.


    Louise looked torn between being embarrassed andughing her ass off, which coincidentally made her look constipated. I sat her down like ady and she blushed at me, her choice made, and I sat next to her without crowding her.


    “I can''t believe you had the gall to show your face here.” Someone said.


    I didn''t bother turning to look at whomever it was. “I can''t believe your parents chose to procreate.”


    There was silence after myment, then someone giggled, another girl softlyughed, and a guy snickered and coughed.


    “Saito.” Louise said in a t voice.


    “My apologies, Louise.” I said and looked at the food tters on the table. It looked like general English food and the simrities with Hogwarts was astounding. The only thing missing was the enchanted ceiling that reflected the outside, and that gave me an idea. “Excuse me for a minute.”


    Everyone watched as I stood and I walked over to the head table where all the teachers sat.


    “Pardon the intrusion, headmaster.” I said to the old man with the longest beard at the table. “Would you mind if I performed a bit of magic? I''m not sure if it''s against the rules to do so and would like your permission before I attempt anything.”


    The old man gave me raised eyebrows and then nodded.


    “Thank you, headmaster.” I said and quickly strode out of the room. I didn''t know what the enchantment was on the Hogwarts ceiling, so I would have to cheat to make the effect.


    I entered the closest bathroom and used magic to steal one of the mirrors from the wall. It had a metal frame, so it was easy to apply copy and projection runes around the edges. I also reinforced it and warded it to never break and added heating charms so it would never be covered by rain or snow.


    I teleported to the roof of the cafeteria and found a nice spot, warded it so no people or creatures could get near it, and set it in ce before I charged it up. I teleported back into the bathroom and stole another mirror, copied the runes and charms on the first one, reversed of course, and brought it into the cafeteria hall.


    “I''ll rece the two mirrors I''ve borrowed after I start selling my enchanted bags.” I told the headmaster and the staff before they could yell at me for taking the bathroom mirror.


    Everyone watched as I levitated the mirror up to the ceiling. Thankfully, it wasn''t vaulted or curved, so I easily stuck the mirror in ce on the t surface and then I expanded it to fit the ceiling. A bit of magic to seal it in ce and it was secured and a part of the ceiling.


    I ignored the mutterings andments about what I was doing and I poured my magic into the now massive runes. I really should have done it before erging it, then shrugged. It would have given the trick away if I walked in carrying a mirror that showed the sky. I didn''t want anyone to figure it out so quickly.


    It took several minutes for the charge to go all the way around the frame, nearly exhausting me, then the fully charged enchantment snapped into ce and linked to the mirror on the roof. Gasps of shock came from everyone, especially the teachers, when the mirror changed from reflecting the tables and students to show the sky above.


    “Thank you for allowing me to do that, headmaster. It''s always nice to know what the weather is like outside without having to look out a window.” I said instead of eximing that it actually worked.


    I slowly walked back to where Louise sat and her stunned face matched those of everyone else. I sat down to start loading a te up with food and put some on Louise''s te as well. She took the hint and started eating as she gave me pointed looks every few minutes. I ignored them for now.


    No one said anything to me about what I just did and I didn''t really expect them to. It was impressive magic and also fairly simple, if you knew what you were doing. Magic was all about intent, after all.


    When the meal was over, both the tall redhead and the short blue-haired girl walked over to us. Kirche gave Louise a look of disdain before she smiled at me. I gave her the same look of disdain and then smiled at Louise, whom looked surprised for a moment and then blushed. Kirche did not look pleased at being snubbed like that.


    “Enchanted bag?” The blue-haired girl asked and pointed to my backpack.


    “Yes, one of my first.” I said and stood, slipped it off, and did the same thing I did with Louise before and showed off by putting my entire arm up to my shoulder inside the top opening.


    That earned me a few gasps and a lot of interesting looks, even from the teachers.


    “I need to go into town to buy supplies to make more.” I said and put the backpack on. “I can also make trunks bigger on the inside so they can hold more, too.”


    “How much bigger?” She asked and adjusted her sses.


    “About five times if it was made from good wood and has metal braces holding it together.” I said.


    “I want a trunk!” “Me, too!” “I really want a kiss now!”


    A bunch of studentsughed and the girl with the bunny familiar didn''t look embarrassed this time.


    “I will pay you 100 écu to enchant one of my trunks!” Kirche said and she pointed at me, herrge breasts bouncing as if unrestrained.


    “Is that a lot?” I asked Louise with a whisper and she nodded. “I agree to your offer.”


    “Wonderful!” Kirche said excitedly and leapt at me. She wrapped her arms and breasts around my left arm. “Tabitha! We need to go to my rooms right now so Saito can get started!”


    The blue-haired girl nodded and Louise looked upset.


    “Don''t worry, Louise. I''m still married and nothing will happen.” I reassured her.


    Louise didn''t look convinced and neither did anyone else, especially Kirche.


    “Before anyone jumps to conclusions or assumes I''ve taken advantage of the big breasted beauty glued to my arm, my preferred body types are those cute girls right there.” I said and pointed at Louise and then Tabitha. Both girls blushed brightly.


    “WHAT?!?” Kirche gasped and let my arm go. “How can you prefer those t-chested washboards to this magnificence?!?”


    I looked down at her indignantly bouncing chest briefly and then at her face. “As I''ve told several girls I''ve dated, including my wife, it''s not the size of your breasts or their perfection that defines who you are.”


    Kirche pouted and crossed her arms under her breasts, pushing them up for more attention.


    I didn''t look again and turned to Louise. “What time is curfew set for?”


    “You need to be back by 9 o''clock.” Louise said and looked satisfied that I wasn''t going to be swayed byrge breasts.


    I nodded and held an elbow out for Tabitha. She blushed again and epted it, to Kirche''s ire, and I led them out of the cafeteria to head back to the female wing of the dormitories.

    “I can''t detect how he did it.” Professor Chevreuse said and waved her wand at the ceiling and the huge transfigured mirror that showed out sky outside. “He infused magic into the metal frame and that''s all I can confirm.”


    “Interesting.” Osmand said and rubbed a hand down his long beard.


    “Why is it interesting?” Mister Colbert asked.


    “Because he did it so casually.” Osmand said and looked up at the white fluffy clouds that floated across the mirror''s surface and the sky darkening to night. “He knew it was going to work without having to prepare for hours or days like we would for such intricately delicate spellcrafting.”


    The other teachers nodded and looked up at the ceiling.


    “I wonder if he would tell us how he did it?” Professor Chevreuse asked and stopped casting. She was tempted to run after the young man and beg him for the secret.


    “I doubt it.” Osmand said. “He would have performed his spells and enchanting in front of us.”


    Professor Chevreuse sighed. “I suppose I''ll never discover how to copy it for my bedroom ceiling.”


    “Having the stars to sleep under would be nice, wouldn''t it?” One of the other women asked.


    “It would be delightful.” Professor Chevreuse said and then caught her breath and looked at her colleague as a fellow conspirator. “Perhaps if we bought recement mirrors for the bathroom he took them from, we could bring two of our own and have him duplicate the enchantment for us?”


    The other woman gave her the same look back. “What a fantastic idea, madam! We need to hurry!”


    Both women left the room in a rush and giggled like teenagers as they talked about getting the bad boy to install them in their rooms for them.


    Mister Colbert looked at the other professors in confusion. “What was that about?”


    “Justdies indulging in a little fantasy, my boy.” Osmand said and pat the clueless man''s shoulder and walked away. He refrained from removing the protective wards around the mirror that stopped people from detecting the magical enchantments. It was a brilliant example of what magic could do and he wouldn''t cheapen the boy''s gift to the academy by letting everyone copy it.

    Tabitha stared as the boy she initially despised did another piece of impressive magic. How he was integrating a spell into an engraving was so novel that she desperately wanted him to teach her. She knew he wouldn''t give up his secrets so quickly, however. Even though he was doing it in front of her and Kirche, he wasn''t saying how he was doing it.


    “This was a very expensive trunk.” Saito said as he finished engraving. “The materials are high quality, so I went a little overboard with what I did.”


    “As long as I get my 100 écu worth.” Kirche said, cooly.


    Tabitha wasn''t surprised that her friend had gone right back to not liking Saito after he rebuffed her advances and told Kirche that he preferred cute girls like her instead. She blushed again at remembering him stating it so loudly in the middle of the cafeteria and everyone heard him.


    Not surprisingly, a lot of the younger girls blushed as well, because they hadn''t hit their growth spurts yet and weren''t as well endowed as some of the more popr girls.


    Tabitha would never admit that she stayed near her friend Kirche specifically because everyone focused on the loud big breasted girl and ignored her. It let her study uninterrupted and people usually left her alone. Until now.


    “I usually warn people to step back when I activate things like this.” Saito said and used the wand to point at the inside of the trunk. “There''s no danger of explosions with such expensive materials and the extra reinforcement I added.”


    Kirche nodded and Tabitha stepped closer. Both girls had their eyes widen when the trunk glowed for several seconds... and then a twenty foot deep room appeared inside the trunk.


    “You''ll need adder or stairs to get down there safely.” Saito said and smiled. “Then again, with this much money, when I pick up some wood to make a wall in Louise''s room, I''ll buy some extra and I''ll make you some. The opening isrge enough for a normal staircase.”


    “How big is it inside?” Tabitha asked and leaned on the side of the trunk to hold on and tried to duck her head down below the edge to see for herself.


    “My calctions say it''s 30 feet by 40 feet and 20 feet deep.” Saito said and both girls gasped. “About twice the size of your dorm rooms.”


    “You... you... how did you...” Kirche stammered.


    “Magic.” Saito said and Tabitha sat back on the floor and stared up at his smiling face. “Depending on the supplies I can buy tomorrow, the bags will be 10 by 10 inside with the same retrieval charm.”


    “Retrieval charm?” Tabitha asked.


    Saito picked up a hairbrush from the dresser and a pillow from the four poster bed and tossed both inside the trunk.


    “Hey! That brush was my mother''s!” Kirche eximed.


    Saito chuckled. “Softening charm.” He said and pointed inside.


    Both girls looked into the trunk and were surprised that both the pillow and the brush were exactly right below them and hadn''t bounced or moved farther after dropping for 20 feet.


    “Now watch.” Saito said and stuck his hand just inside the lip of the trunk. “Hairbrush.”


    It shot up from the floor and into his hand. Both girls had their mouths drop open, because he hadn''t used a wand or summoned it with magic. It was the trunk that did it.


    Saito handed the brush to Kirche and she hugged it to her chest. “Pillow.” He said and the pillow leapt up from the bottom of the trunk and into his hand. He put it back on the bed and bowed slightly to both girls. “Thank you for purchasing my services. Have a great evening.”


    Neither girl could speak and he chuckled and left them there to stare at the door.


    “Is this real?” Kirche asked.


    Tabitha didn''t respond to that and closed the book she had in her hand. She dropped it into the trunk and it didn''t make a thump sound as it hit the bottom. Itnded softly like it was on a cushion. She nodded at her friend and Kirche put her hand inside the trunk.


    “Tabitha''s book.” Kirche said and it sailed right up and gentlynded in her hand. She handed it to her friend and both girls stared at it.


    “Should we try adding some clothes next?” Tabitha asked.


    Kirche whipped off her blouse, revealed her barely restrained breasts, and threw the shirt inside. To their shock, it fluttered to the bottom of the trunk and folded itself up andnded perfectly.


    “Empty your overstuffed closet and I''ll grab the books I can''t fit on my shelves.” Tabitha said.


    Kirche nodded and they both ran to do their chosen tasks. Both girls had a st throwing things into the trunk and seeing what would happen.
