Plot
Verne, a mortie is dropped off at a magic school by his loving parents. However he see it as a castle with people flying about on flying scooters and dragon. His parents however can only see a modern school. He tries explaining what he saw and then doubting himself that he’s seeing things. Gus and Cassy then forcefully take him inside the school on their Scoot Zoomers. Verne is surprised by all the magic and fantasy such as ghost teachers, talking paintings and talking statues.

He then wants to walk as flying is making him giddy. He then encounters the twins Lucretia and Borgia. They are about to hex him and his new friends but the headmistress Ms Crystalgazer appears in the form of a cat, she scolds the twins for teasing the new boy and asks Gus and Cassy to look after Verne.

They fly with him off to a bedroom/Dormitory where there is a clockwork frog toy eating fruit. After they burst in on him and land on top of him. The mechanical frog explains he is Prince Egbert.

Then the dragon post man arrives with a parcel for Cassy.

The parcel is a book that comes to life with a face on the front cover. The book is UBOS. The ultimate book of spells. Also he can transport the characters to other places every episode. (Where have I seen this before?)

He transports Verne, Gus, Cassy and Prince Egbert to a road in the wilderness with loads of giant mushrooms growing everywhere.

Then they are being watched by two dragon like creatures called Rowse and Snerrot.

Then UBOS explains about Zarlak.

Then they head to a crystal area where Verne tries to sit on a crystal but it throws him off. Then they encounter Zarlak and subdue him rather quickly (Which is really bad writing considering he is the main antagonist.) they return back to school just in time for class as they arrive in a classroom at their desks.
