Chapter One

Hecate Hardbroom was deputy headmistress of Cackle's Academy, a witches boarding school for young girls. The woman sent fear down everyone's spines with her harsh methods. She dressed in a long black dress with black boots and her long hair was tied up in a perfect bun without a single loose strand.

A new term had just started at the school and Hecate walked down the corridor with her arms folded looking for any troublemakers. She watched as Mildred Hubble walked down the corridor with her friends Maud Spellbody and Enid Nightshade. Mildred was an accident prone student who meant well but always ended up causing an incident so the teacher made sure to keep an extra close eye on her.

Ethel Hallow and her friend Drusilla Paddock joined the other three pupils in the corridor a few seconds later. Hecate made herself invisible wanting to keep an eye on all the pupils as she knew the five of them fought a lot.

"Well done on managing to make your potion explode again" Ethel said to Mildred with a smirk.

"Oh push off Ethel" Enid replied not caring for anything Ethel decided to say to them.

"Why are you even still here? You're not even a witch." Ethel replied as she looked at Drusilla who laughed meanly.

Mildred was just about to reply when out of nowhere the five pupils heard crying and they all moaned annoyed.

"Oh not again" Ethel said as her younger sister, Sybil, who had just started at Cackle's walked down the corridor crying. Ethel walked over to her sister with her arms folded.

"Sybil will you stop crying you are doing my head in!" Ethel complained to her sister annoyed that all she keeps doing is cry.

"I want to go home!" Sybil said through her sobs. The girl was very homesick and had been crying none stop since she started at the school three days ago.

"Well get yourself expelled then" Ethel replied annoyed just wanting her sister to give her some peace and quiet.

"Don't listen to her Sybil, I was really homesick when I first came here too but it gets easier." Mildred told the younger girl knowing how it felt to be away from home for the first time.

"Really?" Sybil asked in disbelief that Mildred had felt homesick too.

"Yes, I found it hard when I first came here too" Mildred said trying to comfort the younger girl.

"Well both are you are pathetic I wasn't homesick. A true witch gets on with things." Ethel replied meanly to the both of them.

"Well obviously mum and dad ignore you so why would you miss them?" Sybil said being cruel to her older sister.

Ethel looked at her little sister angrily. She had clearly struck a nerve and hit her hard with her remark.

"DON'T YOU EVER SAY THAT TO ME AGAIN!" Ethel shouted as she started to push her little sister clearly upset herself.

"GET OFF OF ME!" Sybil shouted as the two younger Hallow girls started to fight, both angry and both now really hurting.

"Maybe we should just go?" Enid suggested trying to remove themselves from the situation before them.

"Oww don't pinch." Ethel said over the noise. Hecate was just about to use the transfer spell to break up the fight but she was beaten to it.

Esmeralda Hallow the oldest sister saw her sisters fighting and rushed over to break it up.

"You two stop it, get off each other." she said as she stood between them not wanting them fighting again.

"Oh go away Esme, we all know you are on her side!" Ethel said angrily to her still very upset.

"I am not on either of your sides I just want you to stop attacking each other whenever you are in the same place." Esme replied annoyed and fed up from the two being like this. She had been breaking up fights between them for the last three days.

"Well I am on Sybil's side, you are always nasty to Mildred even though her having a loving mother is not her fault!" Maud replied adding in a remark to hurt Ethel.

"Who asked your opinion Spellbody?" Ethel asked angrily. Maud and Ethel started shouting at each other and before long everyone else was shouting trying to be heard and calm everyone down.

Hecate felt like she had left them long enough and transferred herself over to them. The girls were so busy fighting they didn't even notice.

"WILL YOU ALL BE QUIET!" she shouted loud enough to be heard over the whole commission going on before her.

All the girls jumped and stopped what they were doing looking at their teacher.

"This is a school not a wrestling ring" Miss Hardbroom told them sternly.

"She started it" Ethel moaned looking at Sybil.

"I do not care who started it I am finishing it, now if you have problems with each other stay away from each other." Miss Hardbroom told them giving them the solution to the problems they were having.

"Yes Miss Hardbroom" they all replied having been told off now.

"And as for you two, I do not care if you are sisters we do not accept fighting in this school do you understand?" Miss Hardbroom asked looking from Ethel to Sybil.

"Yes Miss" Sybil said quietly still intimidated by HB.

"Yes Miss" Ethel replied through gritted teeth.

"Right all of you get going lunch will be served soon." Hecate said as the pupils walked away all feeling annoyed.

Hecate was fed up. The pupils were constantly fighting with each other. She understood young girls do fight but all she seemed to be doing recently was breaking up a fight which normally involved a second year.

She knew that the school had to do something about this. The pupils had to learn how to behave and with this in mind she walked to Ada Cackle's, the headmistress office as she felt they needed to discuss it to come up with a solution for all the issues they were facing.
