Boy 412 ("Magyk" by Angie Sage)

this boy holds great magyk, but doesn't know it. he comes from the Young Army, where things are horrible and disastrous. his life holds death and pain, and all he really wants is to feel like he belongs to something. Particularly, a loving group of people who care about him. Something like a family, maybe. I think that spending time with Marcia, Princess Jenna, Niko, and Aunt Zelda has helped him to feel once like he belonged there, and that they actually cared about him. he was surprised that someone would even offer him kindness and help, let alone talk to him with a gentle tone and feed him and such. Though he still doesn't quite understand what is happening, it's still better than waking up to buckets filled with ice that didn't dry until days later.
I think that Boy 412 is somehow related to Silas, Jenna, and Niko. They all practiced magyk, he didn't. And yet when ExtraOrdinary Wizard, Marcia, gave him the invisibility charm, told him how and what to do, Boy 412 got the spell down within seconds. I find this strange since Boy 412 had no lessons with magyk, and plus, Silas and his wife had lost their baby boy, the nurse had run out of the room the minute she held the baby and pronounced him "dead". I think that Boy 412 is Septimus Heap, the dead baby boy that the nurse had taken away.
