Teaching Portia magic (HCs)

first off, portia is sosososo excited to be learning magic that it's just too adorable and so unreal

of course, a big part of it is because you're the one teaching her magic so that's like, a huuuge plus in her eyes

you'd think she'd be just rearing to go, diving headfirst into firing spells out, but she's surprisingly patient and willing to go through things as many times as necessary if you think she has to

yeah, she may get a bit bored if you've been on one topic for a while, but she knows that magic is definitely your expertise and trusts you enough that if that's what you guys have to do, so be it

no lesson is the same anyway - magic is ever-changing like that and so is portia

...and there’s a lot of mishaps along the way so it’s not like it’s ever truly boring

the first time she gets a spell right, you're both ecstatic - her happiness is so contagious but you doubt she'll ever need that small light spell when her face is all the light the world needs

She does pout a bit, deflated, when you demonstrate a spell so effortlessly and epic-ly (how did you glow like that?? Will she glow?? Ooh she wants to glow too) but not to worry - it just makes her all the more determined!!

but that’s after she stares at you and playfully comments how you must be the most powerful magician in vesuvia

when she gets a bit better, having gotten the basics down, she seeks out another magician like asra or his parents to figure out if this idea of a spell she has is possible

because, surprise! she's planning something for you

it might take a while and she may get extra tired having to get away after lessons under the guise of work or something else to go to more lessons but she's absolutely determined to get this right and she'd be damned to miss a lesson with you because they're slowly becoming her favourite part of her day

because a) she spends them with you, usually at her cottage where it's nice and secluded and you go undisturbed (... and there's no risk of hurting anyone other than yourselves and her poor garden) and b) she's. learning. magic.

her hard work pays off and one late night, after a rather romantic candlelit dinner that has you suspiciously intrigued because whats the occasion and you're both lying on the rooftop of her cottage she performs a spell that writes out your name and a wobbly but nevertheless legible 'i love you' with light and mayyybe you tear up??? because she's concentrating so hard on getting it to work whilst also giving you such a bright bright smile because she's so proud of herself and she loves you so much and it’s things like this that she does to make sure you know she loves you

portia, rambling because shes flustered all of a sudden when she realises just what a big gesture she’s done: i wanted to add ‘so much’ at the end but asras parents said i should probably work on making the ‘i love you’ steady for a good twenty seconds first and-are you crying?????

you: i just-love you so much-too

Also julian is always shook no matter how many times he sees portia do magic - any kind, any time

and the joy she gets in revealing to him about mazelinka's own magic is horribly satisfying in the way only a sibling can get and she ends up teaming up with mazelinka to see how far they can weird julian out when she comes back from the marketplace going “brought back the toenail clippings you needed mazelinka!!” “ah great work pasha set em here. you got enough strength to transform them into the chicken??” “of course!!” and julians just going ????!!

and of course she manages to rope you in in her antics because can you really resist her? teamed up with pepi too??

portia: oh did i mention that i tried the new protection spell you taught me y/n??? the one about keeping evil ghosts away??? i tried it on mazelinka's house - i hope it worked!!

you: i'm sure it did portia you're getting so much better

julian, standing outside, sweating: um. pasha. y/n. why can't i go inside

portia: ??? what do you mean?? the doors open ilya

julian: i. i cant go inside. there's an invisible barrier--are-are you sure you didnt put a barrier spell or something instead??

portia: ... then how did me and y/n get in????? hm?????

julian: i dont know!! maybe you did it wrong???

portia, giving julian a hurt look: bu-but i tried so hard...

julian, panicked: w-wait pasha i didnt mean--

You: .....the spell was about keeping bad spirits away right??

portia, nodding and gasping: oh no ilya you must have an evil ghost haunting you

julian, panicked 2.0: what??? no i dont-pasha just-remove the spell-

portia: no way im not letting any ghost in here!!

julian: sjfskjf pasha!!!

Both devoraks are very superstitious so she’d definitely use her newfound knowledge to ward off evil...or attract it julian’s poor heart has been scared out of him more than once at her pranks

Nadia absolutely encourages portias passion and calls you, her, and asra her court magicians and portia blushes because oh its sinking in that she’s actually a magician now oh. wow

magician squad here she is

ok this got long but can u tell i love her fsjklfjs thank u for reading!! i hope u enjoyed as much as i did writing it :)
