"Normal" Highschool Group

TSONM 07/12 In earlier books, Mara, in hopes of acclimatizing her students too the ways of humans, and vice versa, had instituted luncheon meetings between groups of Necessary School kids, and students from a human private school in the same city. The two groups got along fairly well, and enjoyed seeing each other when they happened to meet, accidentally or otherwise. The rule was that no magic was to be used in front of the humans. Naturally, that rule was broken, and had remained the secret opf the two groups for the years since they had met. Both groups were Seniors now, and the Human kids had gotten themselves into trouble with an artifact that the Necessary kids helped them with, destroying the evil spirit the humans had inadvertently called up.

A smaller group of these "normal" students, four in number, were Chase, the leader, Lydia, girl with a pixie cut, Ben, a scrawny blonde boy with scruffy hair, and Mags, a girl with long dark blonde hair tied back in a French braid. Alison, Emma, Ethan, Luke, and Tanner were the Necessary kids.

When Alison et al again sneaked into town, they were again met by Chase's group, and invited to coffee. They each explained their beliefs. “You have powers to control the elements and summon things. You change the world around you." “And we understand that magic isn’t something to be used to harm others. We protect people. We try to make the world a bit better.”
