Narrator: Three cousins get a magic letter. They are going to a magic school.

Holden: I am Holden. I have blonde hair and blue eyes. I am ready for a big adventure!

Jaanavi: I am Jaanavi. I have brown hair and brown eyes. I love to read big books and learn.

Zhuri: I am Zhuri! I am very small. But I am brave and ready to play!

Narrator: They go to the magic school. The magic hat speaks to them.

Holden: The hat put us all in Gryffindor! We get to wear red and gold.

Jaanavi: We must study and do our best. I want to learn all the spells.

Zhuri: Yay! We are a team! We are in the brave house!

Narrator: Next, they play a big game on brooms. It is called Quidditch.

Holden: I fly fast on my broom. I must catch the tiny gold ball!

Jaanavi: Fly high, Holden! Watch out for the big red balls!

Zhuri: Run fast! Or fly fast! Go, Holden, go!

Leo: I am Leo, their friend. I will help block the other team!

Narrator: Holden flies up into the clouds. He sees the shiny gold ball.

Holden: I got it! I got the gold ball! We win the big game!

Zhuri: Hooray! We won! We get the shiny cup!

Jaanavi: We did it because we worked as a team. Our school house wins the big prize!

Narrator: But a bad wizard is watching. His name is Malik.

Malik: I want to stop these kids. I will take Holden away to my dark cave!

Narrator: Malik uses a dark spell. Holden is trapped in a cage.

Holden: Oh no! I am trapped. Help me, my friends!

Narrator: Jaanavi and Zhuri find out. They call their friend Leo.

Jaanavi: We must save Holden. I have a map and a book of spells.

Zhuri: We can do it! We are not afraid of the bad wizard!

Leo: I will bring my magic stick. Let us go to the dark cave now.

Narrator: They walk to the dark cave. It is very cold and scary.

Malik: Ha ha! You cannot save him. I am too strong for you!

Jaanavi: I know a spell to open the cage. But I need time to say it.

Zhuri: I will run and make a loud noise! Look at me, bad wizard!

Leo: I will throw magic sparks to stop him. Take that, Malik!

Narrator: Leo throws bright red sparks. Zhuri jumps and makes a funny face.

Malik: Stop that! You are making me dizzy! Get away from me!

Jaanavi: Now is my turn! Magic lock, open up!

Narrator: The cage door swings open. Holden jumps out.

Holden: Thank you, cousins! Now let us all work together.

Malik: No! You cannot win! I will catch you all!

Holden: Not today, Malik! We have the power of love and teamwork!

Jaanavi: Let us say the big spell together. One, two, three, go!

Zhuri: Go away, bad wizard! Shoo!

Leo: Send him back to his own land! Go!

Narrator: A giant wave of gold light hits Malik. He turns around and runs away.

Malik: Oh no! They are too strong! I must run!

Narrator: Malik runs far away. The magic clan is safe now.

Holden: We did it together! You are the best cousins.

Jaanavi: We won the game and saved the day. Gryffindor is the best!

Zhuri: We are heroes! Let us go have some sweet treats!

Leo: Three cheers for the brave cousins! Hip, hip, hooray!
