(Luci's view)

I sat at the table during breakfast with a book open in front of me on the table when I felt a light pressure on my cheek.

"Hello, Michael." I said with a laugh as he and Anwyll sat down on either side of me grinning.

"Good morning, beautiful." he said, as the three of us exchanged smiles.

"So, what's the plan?" Anwyll asked, as they both looked at me eagerly.

"Well, here's what I had in mind." I began, and they both scooted closer to me as I told them my idea.

"That's brilliant Luce, so when should we start?" Anwyll asked as he messed up my hair making me laugh as I playfully swatted at his hand.

"Hey!" I laughed, before reaching over to mess up Michael's hair causing him to jump in surprise.

"Aw, no fair, Luce!" he laughed, before reaching  over and messing up my hair.

"How long will we have to prepare the potion?" Anwyll asked, as he and Michael looked at me eagerly.

"I estimate an hour at the longest." I said, as I gave them a sly grin.

"Trust me, we might be able to." I said, as I gave them both a shoulder squeeze with my hand.

"With what?" Michael asked curiously as he looked at me with a bright grin on his face and I grinned before holding out my right hand which I'd had behind my back.

"Okay, now, I want you both to close your eyes and open your hands." I said, and they both did as I instructed and opened their hands with their eyes closed.

"They feel cold, what are they?" Michael asked as he and Anwyll closed their hands around the small objects I handed them.

"What are these, Lu?" Anwyll asked, as he opened his hand to reveal a small silver ring.

"Those are special rings, that will allow us to talk with our minds, if my research is correct." I said, and they both grinned at me.

"Wicked!" Michael exclaimed, as he and Anwyll both slipped their rings on with a grin.

'Lu, can you hear me?' came a voice in my mind, and I jumped in surprise.

'Loud and clear, Anwyll.' I replied mentally causing him and Michael to jump.

'Holy Merlin, that startled me!' came Michael's mental voice and I smirked.

'The best part about these, is they disappear as soon as you put  them on.' I said, with a quick look over at Anwyll who smirked.

'Clever thinking, love.' his mental voice replied. 'I hope it's nearly time.' Michael said as he gave us a smile.

'It is, now we should get ready.' I replied before holding out my hands for them to take.

'Ready when you are, Lu.' Anwyll said as the three of us began to walk out of the great hall.
