Cackle's Academy visits Hogwarts

Chapter 1

Mildred and her friends began to gather into the great hall along with their other classmates. No one knew why but Miss Cackle and Miss Hardbroom requested everyone's presence there for some big announcement.

"Good afternoon, girls," said Miss Cackle

"Good afternoon, Miss Cackle," the students replied

"Now this afternoon I have some very exciting news. I have received a letter from an old friend of mine who is headmaster at a highly prestigious magic school. He has invited us all to stay at his school for an entire term to get a chance to experience a different kind of magic"

Everyone started whispering, questioning what Miss Cackle meant by different kind of magic.

"QUIET!" yelled Miss Hardbroom across the room and everyone immediately became quiet and Miss Cackle continued.

"I know what you're all thinking. And to put it simply the magic their school teaches and uses is a lot different to the ones we do. Because you see, they use wands and we don't but their chants use a lot less words than we do. And that's basically it. The school we will be visiting is called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and by the sounds of it I'm sure you've all figured out it is in fact a coed school."

Mildred sighed as she remembered the last time they had spoken of a coed magic school. It was only just last week that she and her friends had visited Camelot College, an all wizard school. They were more than happy to see their old friend Charlie, the caretaker's nephew whom they've befriended when he came to visit. But while they were there; Miss Cackle and Camelot College's headmaster Egbert Hellibore, or as they liked to call him Helliboring, made plans to merge Cackles Academy and Camelot College into a coed school. Miss Hardbroom was against the idea as were Mildred and her friends and they were able to put together a scheme to make sure that it didn't happen and it worked.

Mildred looked over to Miss Hardbroom who didn't look very pleased. She obviously didn't like the idea of witches and wizards learning together so she obviously wasn't looking forward to this visit.

"Now girls," Miss Cackle continued, "we leave tomorrow so have your bags packed and ready to go tonight and get a good night sleep for tomorrow's trip. We'll be flying there on our broomsticks as usual. Off you go then."

"Isn't this exciting?" Mildred's best friend Maud said as they exited the Great Hall

"Yes it is." said Enid, Mildred's other best friend, "I can't wait. What about you, Millie?"

"Oh yeah, I guess it is exciting" Millie said sourly

"What's wrong Millie?" asked Maud

"It's just that….I know I'm going to make a fool out of myself, just like I always do. I'm bund to do something wrong"

"I figured you'd be used to it by now Hubble Bubble" said a snide voice right behind them. The girls turned to see that it was Ethel Hallow, their school rival, who had said it.

"Oh come off it, Ethel" said Maud

"Doesn't matter if you make a fool out of yourself Mildred," continued Ethel, ignoring what Maud had just said, "Because I'm pretty sure word has gotten out already that you're the worst witch in the entire school and if you do make a fool out of yourself at Hogwarts then everyone will know that you're Mildred Hubble, the worst witch ever."

"Shut up, Ethel" said Enid

Ethel gave one last smirk before walking off

"Oh, don't listen to her, Millie. I don't know if you've noticed but you haven't made any silly mistake so far this year. In fact, I think you've quite improved since your last 2 years here" said Maud

"Yeah, Maud's right, Millie. You're handling magic way better than you did in your first and second year." Said Enid

"You think so?" said Millie

"We know so" said Maud, "Now come on, we've got to pack for our trip tomorrow"

Right after the meeting was over and everyone had left the great hall; Miss Hardbroom went rushing towards Miss Cackle.

"Miss Cackle, I'm really not sure if this visit is really appropriate," she said

"And why would you think that, Constance?" asked Miss Cackle

"Well, you know how much I don't like the idea of witches and wizards learning together and not only that but this school thinks it's appropriate for wizards to fly on broomsticks. Wizards on broomsticks! I find the whole idea of it ridiculous!"

"Yes I know you do but Constance this school is as good as any school in the district and besides I honestly don't there's anything wrong with wizards flying on broomsticks. Sure, it's a little bit off traditions but that doesn't mean they can't fly well. And anyways I've already confirmed to Albus that the girls, you and I would be more than happy to visit"

"If you say so, Headmistress" replied Miss Hardbroom. She folded her arms and materialized away like she always does
