Jack Smith and the Theory of Charms: Chapter 3: Platform 9-3/4: Part 2

"Jackson," his mom opened the door, making him look up.

"Yeah, mom?" he asked, carefully placing the book out of her view. He didn't want her to realize he was reading a magic book. She was still very uncomfortable with the idea of him being a wizard.

"I wanted to know what you want for breakfast in the morning," she said, smiling at him. "It's going to be my last chance to cook for you for a while."

Jackson smiled at her and said, "I love your blueberry waffles."

"Blueberry waffles it is," she said. "I'll get everything ready now so I can have them cooked and ready to eat when you wake up."

"Thanks mom."

"You're welcome," she said and closed the door again.

Jackson looked back at the charms book, but decided he'd better finish packing and get to bed. As he put it in his cauldron with the other books he noticed it seemed thicker than before, as though the book had grown. That's odd, he thought.
