Hecate didn't go straight to the classroom, she went to her bedroom, to let herself calm down or use any anger she needed to use up. She leaned against the window sill, eyes tightly shut. Her breath was rapidly quick but deep. She looked out of her window, thinking about the dread of Indigo being back. She couldn't calm down, she kicked the wall, lightly, a few times, trying to use up her anger, which just kept coming back whatever she did. She took a few deep breaths as she left her room. She wanted to stay and cry but she knew she can't just skip lessons. She walked into the classroom, where everyone was sitting at their desk, which was very unusual from what she usually saw in this class. '' Right...today...you will all do a simple camouflage potion!'' She said as the class got on with their work. Hecate sat at her desk, looking at Indigo and Mildred, she couldn't get over the fact Indigo has magic now, safely, when she could be where Mildred stood, smiling at Indigo. '' Miss Hardbroom!'' Ethel put her hand up. Hecate ignored her. '' Miss Hardbroom!'' She said, firmer and louder. Hecate looked up, rather startled. '' Y-Yes, Ethel?'' Hecate asked. '' Mildred and Indigo are talking!'' Ethel said smugly. '' And?'' Hecate said,'' There is no need to tell me, I can hear!'' Mildred and Indigo frowned, going silent straight away. They got on with their work silently as Miss Hardbroom sat and decided to get on with the first years' tests. Indigo put foxbane in the potion, which turned an angry red colour, it overflew, electrical sparks escaping the potion. It turned into unpleasant fireworks, which made horribly loud noises. There were gasps in the room. '' Miss Hardbroom! Do something!'' Felicity said, blocking her ears. Hecate looked up, walking up to the potion. She gave a disapproval glare at Mildred and Indigo before clicking her fingers, the potion settled. '' I am SO sorry, Miss Hardbroom,'' Indigo said, looking disappointed at her first potion, which turned out as an explosive firework. '' You should be!'' Hecate hissed. '' It was me, Miss Hardbroom,'' Mildred defended Indigo. This made Hecate angry. '' You will both clean up your mess this instance!'' Hecate said, clenching her fists. '' Alright,'' Indigo said. Ethel smiled as Felicity was disappointed that Miss Hardbroom was hard on Mildred and Indigo. '' NOW!'' She hissed,'' If it isn't spotless then it is detention for both of you!'' Hecate regretted every word but it just came out. '' Miss Hardbroom, that isn't fair!'' Felicity said, folding her arms. '' Exactly!'' Mildred said, Indigo just looked at her. '' You can't give them detention!'' Felicity said. '' You can join them!'' Hecate said, hands shaking. They look irritated by this. '' You can't do that, you are HORRIBLE!'' Indigo said. '' Do you know how hard it is for Indigo to learn this! She was stone for thirty years!'' Felicity said,'' you should atleast understand that she was stone for thirty years! She probably had friends and family!'' Hecate felt upset by this, about herself. '' You don't know how it's like...'' Hecate began pacing the floor, turning to them,'' To live like THIS! As someone, you don't want to be!'' Mildred wants to say something but Hecate cut her off. '' To Lose a friend! Someone important! Watching her making friends with someone else! When it could have been yourself, there!'' She said as her voice cracked, tears gathering in her eyes, she looked at Mildred and Indigo,'' Life...isn't just about...making potions for fun! You don't come here to PLAY with magic!'' '' Miss Hardbroom-'' Mildred tries to speak again. Felicity begins to realise how life is from her teacher's point of view. '' When you see yourself being replaced right in front of your eyes! This could have been Indigo and...'' Hecate just breaks, looking at Indigo. She slides the friendship bracelet, hers and Indigo's, off her wrist placing it roughly on Indigo's desk. '' I-I don't deserve this!'' Hecate said. Indigo looks at Hecate in disbelief, Joy was Miss Hardbroom?! '' Pathetic!'' Ethel muttered. '' QUIET!"' Hecate said, magic suddenly bursting out of her body, exploding in the room. Magic glown golden, as it surrounds them. Suddenly feel like they are being pulled through the wind to a different location or even...time. All through Hecate lashed out, her magic takes over.
