Joey Parker And The Giants

 

THE LONELY CHILD

​

Some people say that they don't believe in magic. But I think that's only because they are unable to do it themselves. I spend plenty of hours watching videos of people performing magic tricks. Wondering how they have done it.

My name is Joey Parker. I live with my Granny Peggy and Grandpa George and my older teenage sister Danyel. Our grandparents took us to live with them after both of our parents died in a plane crash coming home from Italy.

Danyel is a teenager that likes her own space. The type of person that only talks when she haves to. But I am completely different from that. I talk to anybody. That makes Granny Peggy nervous.

All of the children that live by me are in their friend groups. And when I asked if I could join. They tell me, no and there's no room for losers like me. So I just play on my own.

Granny Peggy likes us indoors before sunset. That's means in the winter we have to go in at 4 pm on the dot. With the sun starting to set. I then said to Danyel that we best be getting back. To her telling me that I'm a scary cat.

We arrived back home and spelt our tea cooking. Fish and smiley face chips with peas. I gobbled it down only just leaving the patent on the plate.

After I and Danyel argued over who's going to clean up the dishes. I lost of course. After I had finished cleaning up the dishes. I went to join the rest of them in the living room.

With it now coming up to 9 pm. Grammy Peggy told us to start getting ready to go to bed. Which we then went to brush our teeth and put our pyjamas on and got into bed and fall fast asleep.

​

THE INVITE

​

Good morning Britain. It's just after 7 o'clock on Thursday the 8th of March. It's going to be sunny most of the day. So get your sunscreen on and get in the garden.

I then got out of bed and made myself downstairs to the kitchen where Granny Peggy and Grandpa George were. Good morning Granny Peggy said to me. Good morning Granny Peggy. Where's Grandpa George. I asked Granny Peggy. To her telling that he getting the mail.

When he returned from getting the mail. He was looking through them and reading out loud who they were to. Miss Parker. MR Parker. And one for an MR J Potter.

I've got a letter I've got a real letter. I said excitedly. Which woke up Danyel. What, is all the shouting about. Danyel asked. As she entered the kitchen.

I've got a letter look, look, yes well done. She said. Rolling her eyes and carrying on to make her breakfast. I then began to open my letter. Wondering about what it was going to say.

It read. Dear MR Joey Parker, you have been accepted to go to Rich Lambs school. You will need to bring a wand. A broomstick. And a pet of your own choice. Finishing with Yours truly, MR Jayman the headteacher of Ritch Lambs school.

I then went to get dressed in my checked shirt. And checked if my jeans were clean and ironed and I packed up. I then went out for my last walk around our little village.

Seeing the other kids hanging out with each other. I thought to try to see if they would let me hang out with them. I slowly walked up to them. And asked them what were they doing. To them calling me a no parents little freak and laughing.

I then made myself home to watch videos of people doing magic for the rest of the night. With finding that I've watched every magic video that is on the internet. I then checked the time to see that it was coming up to 5 o'clock. Everybody around the dinner table for tea. Granny Peggy called out.

Granny Peggy then said that this is going to be the last meal that we were going to have has a full family together for a while so let's enjoy it.

After we had eating it. I then ts clean the dishes again. After I had finished cleaning the dishes. I headed to my bedroom to watch more magic videos.

With checking the time and seeing that it was coming up to 9 pm. I then got my pyjamas on and got in bed. I couldn't fall asleep for a while with excitement.

​

THE MAGIC STORES

​

Good morning Britain. It's just after 7 o'clock on Thursday the 9th of March. It's going to be overcast today. So make sure you take a jacket with you if you're heading off out.

I then jumped up out of bed. And ran downstairs. Morning Granny Peggy and Grandpa George. Good morning Joey. It's a big day for you today. Grandpa George said before taking a sip of his cup of tea.

With seeing it was coming up to 8 o'clock. I then made myself upstairs to go to get the train. When I was finished getting ready. I made myself downstairs. Wow, look at you. Granny Peggy said whiles she licks the corner of tissue to clean the toothpaste off my chin.

I then said I've got to go. And with giving Grampa George a little kiss. I then heard Danyel say so did you think you were leaving without saying goodbye to me. I then went over and hugged her and made myself out.

With making my way to Dina Alley train. I was met by a man. That looked like he was a giant. Hello, I'm Gendoff. The groundskeeper of Rich Lambs school.

I think you already got anything for school. To me answering with no. Gendoff said that I want to go to Wandy's Wand Store. There's no better place to go.

We walked across the cobbles over to Wandy's Wand Store. And Gendoff pushes the door open and telling me to go inside. I then stepped inside looking around the store. I press. Looking at all of the different types of wands. Big ones. Little ones. One's that looked like a tree branch. And one that looked like an old man's nose.

I then saw a wand that had a metal going around the handle. I then called the storekeeper. Coming now. A short rounded man came from the back of the store. And said hello, young man can I help you. I then went to tell him that I want to purchase a wand. To him telling me that I'm in the right place.

I then saw a wand that looked like a witches finger. I will have that one, please. I said to the man to him looking at me and replying with yes sir. I then collected my wand. That was in a bag that seemed to be made from velvet. I then left the store to see Gendoff holding what looked like a little English toy terrier puppy.

With putting the little puppy in my arms. And asking what am I going to call her. To me answering with Beni-lee. Gendoff then told me that my train will be leaving soon so we have to get there. We then made the journey to Dina Alley to catch my train.

With arriving at Dina Alley. Gendoff told me that my train leaves in 4 minutes and don't be late. As I was checking the platform that my train was on. I then looked up to find that Gendoff had disappeared. I made myself on the train with Beni-lee and found an empty carriage.

​

MEETING NEW STUDENTS

​​

As I was sitting there playing with Beni-lee. A boy came outside of my carriage and popped his head in to ask if he can join me. I then said of course.

It's Jack by the way. Jack Slices. Hi Jack. I'm Joey Parker. Jack then looked at Beni-lee and said aww how cute can I hold it. To me saying yes.

Jack went over to the grate. And opened up Beni-lee's crate. Hello, girl aren't you just beautiful. He then took her out of the crate to have a play.

Has he was playing. The train trolley lady came with sweets and drinks. Jack jumped up and opened the carriage door what startled Beni-lee. Making her run out of the carriage.

Oh my god. Jack said. We popped our heads out looking if we could see where Beni-lee had gone. After seeing no sign of her. I then said to Jack that we had to try to find her. To him agreeing with me.

As we were passing the carriages looking for Beni-lee. We come to a carriage to find Beni-lee was jumping all over a girl licking her face. I quickly pulled Beni-lee off her saying sorry.

She laughed and asked our names. I'm Joey Parker and this is Jack Slices. She then went onto say that her name is Megan Style.

She then asked us she could join us. To me saying yes. She then came and set down next to Jack and started to ask us what lessons we were doing. To us saying that we didn't have a clue.

With hearing a driver saying over the pa system that we will be arriving soon. We then went to get ourselves dressed in our school robes.

​​

ARRIVE AT RITCH LAMBS

​

As we were getting closer to Ritch Lambs. It looked like it had been built in the 15th century. As the train pulled into the station. The train driver came over the pa system and said. Welcome to Ritch Lambs. This is your home for the next year. Enjoy.

The train doors slowly dissolve. Which made everyone gasped and say wow. We all sept out onto the platform to be met by Gendoff. Who then told us to follow him.

Has we were reaching Ritch Lambs. I noticed two lions made of stone. Standing on each side of the school's entrance. Which the girl that was sitting behind me gasp.

Gendoff then told us to stay where we are as he walked up to the big iron doors. And with pulling out his wand and giving it a little flick. The doors slowly started opening by themselves to reveal a big hallway. Which had fire lightings hanging in mid-air.

As we were walking looking at all of the old paintings. We then came to a set of doors. Which also opened by themselves to what looked like a canteen.

As we headed into the canteen. We saw 4 long tables with tree stumps coming up from the floor. They had the names on there reading StateHouse Hold, Wilo Household, Speech HouseHold, new students.

​​

With going to sit back by Jack and Megan. MR Jayman got up from his golden tall backed chair. And went on to say that the Yamie The Quiet Forest is forbidden to all first-year students. Any first years that get caught will be expelled.

With tracing through the yamie. We came across a giant hold in the ground. Which looked like that it hasn't been dug out by a human.

​

We then began to make ourselves back to our household. As we were heading back. We felt a rumble under our feet. That made us look at each other with worry.

And before we had the chance to run. We then witness that the giant was standing in front of us. With Beni-lee barking thinking, she's a rottweiler. The giant looked at Beni-lee a likes to say shout up. The giant then spoke in a deep voice. Back again. To me answering with yes.

Megan and Jack were standing behind me. Jack was standing about ten meters away. I then found the courage to ask the giant why were they in the forest. To the giant telling us that many years ago there was a wizard. Called Zooiem that was the old headteacher of Ritch Lambs School. And he was shacked for using dark magic on students to get them to admit to things the likes of cheating.

There's a rumour that he has cursed the school. With the roetter curse. The type of curse that would make any wizard tell their darkest secrets. And us giants were shipped over from Tasmania to guard Ritch Lambs school. That made Jack oh my god.

With checking the time. And seeing it was coming up to nine o'clock. I then said to Megan and Jack that we should be getting back. To them agreeing.

With arriving back to our households. Megan went to say that the school holidays started tomorrow. We will have to wait until they have finished. To find who this Zooiem was.
