AN: So I was watching the movie Hocus Pocus the other day and this popped in to my mind. It will be a short drabble series with about three or four chapters. I have never written for this fandom before so I hope I portray the characters alright and if there are lots of mistakes I am sorry, but I do not have a beta reader and whenever I write something I do not read it over due to my health issues and how tired I get so quickly.
Every single day since the tender age of eight, Dani Dennison visited the grave of of Thackery Binx who supposably had died in 1693, but actually had not died officially until ten years ago on Halloween night. You see, Thackery had been cursed by three witches, Sarah, Mary, and Winifred Sanderson after they sucked the life out of his younger sister Emily. The curse made it so he would live forever as a cat knowing he had been unable to save Emily and for three hundred years the once human boy guarded their old house to ensure nobody lit the black flamed candle on Halloween which would bring them back for one night unless they could suck the lives out of the Salem children and for three hundred years Thackery had made sure that never happened until Max, Dani's older brother, lit the candle trying to impress a girl from school named Allison.
To made a very long story short, the sisters had come back determined to kill every single child in Salem, but Max, Dani, and Allison had managed to stop them with the help of Binx and Winifred's zombie ex-lover Billy. In the process of stopping the witches, Thackery had died protecting Dani, but he did come back for a few moments, well his spirit had, so he could tell Dani not to cry for him because he was free and he finally got to be with his sister and family, something he never believed could happen. Dani was happy for him, yet sad at the same time and that sadness had not diminished one bit over the past ten years; it had actually grown even deeper and the 18 year old teenage had no idea whatsoever how to move pas the loss of Thackery Binx.
"Hi Binx." Dani sat down the cool grass in front of his grave stone as she set down some roses on the grave marker itself. "Max and Allison couldn't make it this years, not with her so close to her delivery date, but I'm here as always and next year I bet they will be as well. So my birthday was last month and I'm officially and adult now. How weird is that? It seems like just yesterday we were stopping Sanderson sisters. Oh that reminds me, they decided to to make your old family home a museum and I actually got the job of running the place. I think Allison put in a good word with her mother about me. Allison is going to run the Sanderson museum since they are opening it again. We all agreed it would be best because nobody wants to take the chance something happening and reawakening them or something worse."
She paused for a moment not sure what to say next. "I miss you Binx. I know that wherever you are you're happy and missing you makes me selfish, but it is the truth. I wake up every single day hoping to see you there next to me and when you're not I feel as if a part of me is dying. We didn't even know each other that long and yet I felt and still feel as if I have known you my entire life. It's weird, but sometimes I actually wish the witches would come back because maybe you would come back as well. You'll never know how much I miss you."
"My schoolmates think of me as crazy or some sort of freak due to the fact that I don't choose to socialize with them. I know most of the guys think I'm a snob, but the truth is they could never be you. Prom is coming up in a few months and everyone will be there. I've had a few people ask me to go, but I don't think I want to. Well I really should be going since it is getting pretty late and I due to the fact my parents are on a cruise, I am staying with Max and Allison and I promised them I wouldn't be out for long. Max would never admit it, but I think he worries when I go out even though it has been years since the Sanderson sisters tried to kill me; he still sees me as a kid, but I guess it is a big brother thing. Anyways, I love you Binx and I'll try to come back in a couple off weeds because things are going to be busy after that and I'm not sure when the next time I will get to visit will be."
Dani kissed the palm of her hand before pressing it against the tombstone. As she gathered up her things to head to her brothers place, she never noticed the small shadowy figure a few graves over. If she had then she would have noticed it was Emily Binx, the girl she had only ever seen once and only for a few moments at that.
"Well this is interesting." The young ghost smiled softly as an idea popped in to her head. "No girl should go to prom alone. It appears as if I have to do everything around here."
