The book, it turned out was just about everything you could possibly ever want to know about swordplay. He gave it to Draco, as he seemed to really want it.

They then spent another two hours trying out everything in the game room. After that time, Draco decided to head home, saying that he had to meet his mother for dinner.

After making the promised phone call, and extracting a promise to look into leasing out an apartment, he got ready for bed like he usually did before passing out.

A week after he had first woken up, he got a surprise when he arrived at the apartment complex, because the gates, which he was always careful to close on his way out each day, were hanging slightly open. Heading inside, he was surprised to find two people, a well-built white guy, and an African American girl, knocking on his door.

He called out to them, saying, “Hey, what are you two pounding on my door for?”

They both turned around, and, despite their obvious differences, it was also extremely obvious that they were twins. The girl had long silver hair and grey eyes, while the boy had shaggy blonde hair and golden brown eyes. In spite of this, they had very similar faces, just different color schemes.

“You Aeron?” the guy asked.

“Yeah,” he said, “What can I do for you?”

“We were under the impression that you would be able to provide us with rooms here.”

“Where did you get that idea?”

“When we woke up a couple of hours ago, we found these notes in our pockets that had this address on them. We walked into the post office that was nearby, and the postman said that this was the place to go and that it was run by Aeron Paterson,” the guy responded.

“Then who are you?”

“I’m Henry Celesta.”

“And I'm Selena Celesta,” the girl spoke in a soft tone of voice and was looking as if she had found something incredibly interesting on the ground.

“Are you two twins?” Aeron had to ask.

“We believe so,” Henry said, “Not much that we remember before today.”

“I don’t remember much before last week myself. Did you wake up with just the clothes on your back?”

“We also have these torcs,” Selena answered, brushing her hair back to show a platinum and silver dragon-shaped torc with small emerald eyes and mother-of-pearl inlays. Aeron now noticed that Henry had a similar one, though his looked to be gold and bronze with ruby eyes and sunstone accents.

“Well, I think I can offer you both a room, although I don’t have anything prepared, they might be premade.”

“So which ones are ours?” Henry asked, “And how will we pay you?”

“You can take any of them except mine,” he said, “And I’m not sure if you're supposed to pay for these. I think that the rooms change depending on their inhabitants, so I can’t really charge you, because they are all very basic without inhabitants, and the Inhabitant is the entire reason why the rooms exist.”

He had explored all the rooms several days before and found that despite the abundant space that should have been there, they were all basic 15 foot by 15-foot square rooms, which still left about 90% of the building outside the rooms unused.

He smiled at their shocked faces, before shooing them to get them to make their decision. They chose rooms on opposite sides of his room, and, sure enough, when they put their hands on the scanner, those rooms were changed, and he was just barely able to detect a pulse of the magic that clearly was being used in the rooms, a sign both of his practice over the last week, and of how powerful the magic being used was.

When they opened the doors, he was able to catch a glimpse of the inside of their rooms, which seemed to match the occupants remarkably well. Selena’s room seemed to be dark-colored, with silver constellations on the walls of the entryway, while Henry’s was yellow, red, gold, orange, and light blue. He decided to get cleaned up before visiting.

Leaving his room, now feeling refreshed after a quick, 15-minute shower, he decided to that he should check on Henry first and see what his room was like.

Turning left out of his door, he went around thirty yards and knocked on the door next to him.

“Who is it?” he heard Henry shout from inside.

“It’s Aeron,” he shouted back.

There was silence for a second, followed by footsteps moving towards the door.

The door swung open and Henry greeted him, saying, “Hey, come on in.”

Entering the room, he saw that the walls were covered in images of the sun, with clouds on the ceiling. The apartment was set up much the same as his own but the game room and the office were switched around.

They went into the office and found a folder sitting on the desk, containing prefilled enrollment papers for Bart’s School for Unusually Gifted Teens, which said that tomorrow would be his first day.

“I’ll show you to the school in the morning,” Aeron said, “We should check to see if Selena has one, too. She should, but anything is possible.”

“Okay, let’s go,” Henry said, heading towards the door.

Aeron followed him and they turned right from the door and went to Selena's room.

Henry knocked on the door, yelling, “Hey! Selena! Open the door!”

“What?” Selena asked in a sharp tone, opening the door.

Aeron stepped forward diplomatically, saying, “I just wanted to know if you were also enrolled in Bart’s School for Unusually Gifted Teens.”

“Yes, I am,” she said.

“Then I will show you both to the school at 6:30 tomorrow morning. Be sure to bring your enrollment papers with you.”

“Okay, I’ll be ready.”

Before he could ask if they could see inside the room, she shut the door on them, clearly showing that exploring would have to wait.

After that, he quickly showed Henry his room before retiring to bed, hoping for an early start the next morning.
