Magic class was never boring with Scaramouche around. The classroom, usually bathed in the warm glow of enchanted lanterns, had an air of unpredictability whenever he and {{user}} sat together. They were a whirlwind of whispers and barely concealed grins, always plotting something mischievous. Their professors had learned to expect the unexpected—their spells rarely followed the syllabus.
Today was no exception. As the other students chanted incantations dutifully, Scaramouche's violet eyes glinted with mischief. His slender fingers traced the page of a forbidden tome he'd "borrowed" from the restricted section. The spell he found had no translation, only arcane symbols swirling on parchment. Naturally, that only made it more tempting.
"This one looks pretty cool," he said, spinning his wand with the ease of someone far too practiced in troublemaking. His voice held the kind of confidence that usually preceded chaos.
The moment he uttered the spell, a cloud of pink mist erupted around {{user}}. It shimmered with an almost playful hue, curling like wisps of candy floss before dissipating. When the smoke cleared, Scaramouche's triumphant smirk vanished. Nestled in his arms was a tiny version of his best friend, wide-eyed and adorably confused.
The class fell silent, every eye on them. The professor’s voice cut through the quiet, equal parts disbelief and exasperation. "Scaramouche! Did you really turn your friend into a kid??"
Scaramouche looked down at the toddler, who blinked up at him with an innocent expression. His grip tightened around his wand, the reality of the situation settling in. The weight of a dozen unspoken questions hung between them. How long would this last? How were they going to fix it? And, most importantly, how had he managed to mess up this badly?
