The months were passing, the world was already changing in relation to the pandemic, most of the people were vaccinated, the fear of the witches' flu was passing, the activities everywhere were slowly returning to the way it was before, in some countries it didn't even seem that the pandemic was so normal that the situation was.

In the United Kingdom, elections for prime minister took place and this time the dispute was between Donald Blackwell and Paul Hanbridge. Which Louis' father won with great ease no matter how many of the witches tried to campaign for the other candidate, since Hanbridge was proving much more reliable for the witches' side, in which a brief dissatisfaction began to echo all over the world about the witches. Since they were suspicious that a Blackwell was now the prime minister of one of the places with the highest concentration of witches. Afraid of something that could happen like what is going on in countries like China, some Middle Eastern countries, Africa and Latin America, where restrictions were created for witches due to the pandemic.

Restrictive laws that were a suggestion Louis Blackwell had made after using some of his money to raise these same laws in these countries in an indirect and anonymous way, which was already generating some concern for the world of witches.

In the World Broom Racing Championship, Megan Jordan was the champion that season with 5 points over Emma Bianchi, who was only 1 point ahead of Julia Villeneuve. The 2020 season was one of the most disputed, as the top three were always fighting each other to see who won the races.

At the Cavendish family residence, little Marianne was 3 months old and a baby until she was very intelligent, she already showed that she was pampering with her grandmother Laura, proving to be the girl's favorite grandmother, McLaren felt all privileged to be the favorite grandmother, from time to time the Du Nord Meridies also visited and it was common for Charlotte and Marianne to face and smile at each other.

In Luna Nova, the winter recess had begun, classes had totally returned to normal, but with Blackwell in power, there was a certain fear in Sarah and Diana of putting restrictive laws into it and all that progress they made to improve the students and make them higher level witches, go in vain.

14th December 2020, three days have passed since the elections for prime minister of the United Kingdom, Diana and Akko were in Luna Nova, at a meeting that Cavendish decided to organize there together with other teachers to discuss the future of witches. With the exception of Avery who was unable to attend because of her pregnancy.

- So what is so important as to call all the teachers, Cavendish?

Says Roxanna.

- Do you know who is in power now?

Says Diana.

- Yes, Donald Blackwell, but what's so bad about it? You will tell me that you called all this meeting to talk only about Paul Hanbridge not winning just because our campaign was bad.

Says Roxanna.

- I'm not about to talk about our campaign, but the person in power in the UK is someone who can harm us witches in a very negative way.

Says Diana.

- Diana says that suspect them of being responsible for the witch flu pandemic, which makes a bit of sense, taking into account the past regarding the Blackwell family and all the anti-witch speeches they promoted years and years ago.

Says Akko while some hold the laugh.

- This is serious!

Says Diana knocking on the table, which makes everyone around her shut up.

- And what do you intend to do? Is it something connected with our academy being in an administrative region that is now part of Scotland?

Says Sarah curious.

- What do you mean Scotland? Weren't we a tax-free administrative area that only recognised the British crown?

Says Roxanna.

- Isn't this bad for the academy's savings?

Says Anastazia.

- Hey! We did it just to help us support the referendum for Scotland's independence and if we can. We will still maintain our tax exemption, but for that I want your support, we have to do the best possible campaign to make the referendum right.

Says Diana.

- And how do you intend to do this?

Says Roxanna.

- I am the Flying Scot! My reputation in Scotland is very high, all I need to do is use this influence to captivate Scots even more about their nationalism, whole Weddinburgh is already very much in favor of this referendum, if I can influence Glasgow this can help us more and more.

Says Diana.

- Well, where do we get into this?

Says Roxanna shrugging.

- You influence people in every city around Scotland; we need to get as many votes from the population as possible.

Says Diana.

- But wouldn't that lead to the break-up of the UK? Ireland is unified and independent, with Scotland jumping out only England and Wales would be left.

Says Sucy.

- You will prefer that we continue like this, soon it will not be long before the restrictive laws of witches in England start to come out, one thing I say, who influence more people will win a good reward for this winter vacation.

Says Diana.

- So can we get a vacation raise?

Says Roxanna with a smile on her face.

- They'll only do it for the money, which money doesn't do... But okay, I want to see this plan of ours working, I really do, we have to keep Luna Nova's standard high.

Says Diana.

- Right!

Says the teachers.

The meeting between the teachers then ended there, but Diana, Sarah and Akko are still there in the meeting room, as all three needed to discuss more about this plan and also about Cavendish's theory about the witch flu.

- I had seen someone theorize that Blackwell may be behind this flu, but I thought it was crazy or delusional for some crazy people who talk about conspiracy theories and stuff.

Says Sarah.

- My mother Laura is suspecting that it is a plan of the government, since the beginning of this year, I am beginning to be sure of it, after all the flu of witches attacks us much more than humans, most of the deaths were with us and who rose in government is a guy who until years ago was against the witches, Appleton was once a place for trial of witches by humans, they tortured us and did not even give a shit about changing this reputation over the years.

Says Diana.

- Louis Blackwell is married to a witch if I'm not mistaken, it seems that times can change and if this Donald's son is married to a witch, this can be the sign of new times even for them.

Says Sarah.

- Or it can be a marriage only of appearances too, I don't doubt anything, I'm sure that this can only be for not thinking more about the family's past.

Says Diana.

- Blair told me that Donald Blackwell's son was very problematic with this issue of witches and also spoke badly of witches, every time she visited Andrew, he kept pestering her.

Says Akko.

- So what are we going to do about it? If you have these suspicions and a man who can put the future of witches to waste is in power, we have to quickly take him out of power or take some action besides separating Scotland from the UK.

Says Sarah.

Sarah, Diana and Akko continue to argue there about how they would at least get one way to expose that the prime minister was against the witches, as well as about their plan to make Scotland independent.

Meanwhile far away, in Appleton, at Donald and Louis' hideaway, both were celebrating with all the happiness in the world about Blackwell's eldest victory in becoming the prime minister of the United Kingdom.

- That's it! I can't believe we made it!

Says Louis.

- Well you were right about my victory, it was really easy to beat that Paul Hanbridge and he thought he would get reelected being that we were the ones responsible for bringing to the world the cure for the witch flu.

Says Donald.

- Now what is missing to continue our plan is the implementation of the restrictions laws.

Says Louis.

- Yes, I leave this task to you boy... Do you have any idea what laws you'll implement? I'm curious to know how we're going to get these laws passed and there's the matter of the Scottish referendum.

Says Donald with his hand on his chin.

- Fuck this referendum. Let the Scots separate from us, I even recommend supporting them in this idea of separating at least we won't have these witch supporters getting in the way of the laws, so we'll have a great influence over the English and create our own identity.

Says Louis confident.

- That's right, so I'll even go out and advertise in support of this referendum, which is a shame to lose the territory further north, even more so after Ireland unified.

Says Donald until Louis completes it.

- The potato eaters are others who support witches, all the more so because of the rusted Dublin witches and the oxygenated Belfast witches, I don't understand how they support those two witch families so much. But forget it, I will show you now one of my bills.

Says Louis picking up some envelopes.

Little by little Donald opens the envelopes and checks about each law.

Minimum age restriction law for performing spells: With this law it is mandatory that throughout the United Kingdom, citizens must be at least 12 years old in order to start studying in a school of magic or manifest any magic power.

Law of restriction of magical power for witches under 18 years of age: Witches aged between 12 and 18 years will not be able to have an internal magic with a magical power of 50 MP, without also being able to pass level 15, in case a witch passes this level in those years, a hard restriction of the magical power will be given followed by a fine of 150 pounds.

Creation of the broom traffic department: Regulation of the speeds at which witches travel through the country, broom models, broom driver qualification, mandatory use of a magic hat, emplacement and broom documentation.

Law of broom restriction: Witches under 18 years of age cannot fly conventional broomsticks without being accompanied by another witch of age; the offender who is caught doing so will suffer a restriction with magic and will have to pay a fine of 300 pounds accompanied by the disqualification of the owner of the broom.

Law restricting destructive spells: Witches under the age of 18 may not perform any spell that is connected to causing damage.

Increased fee for witch schools.

Creation of the witch control department.

- Your projects are interesting, kid, but we still have to see if they will approve all this? I don't know if they would agree with some of these restrictions.

Says Donald.

- China, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, Iran, Malaysia, South Africa, Nigeria, Morocco, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela and the list only goes on, I managed to spread these laws to these countries and there they are already being approved, even more because of the witch flu ... Ah and I forgot the cherry on the cake. The United States of America, even the biggest superpower on the planet, is passing these laws in some states.

Says Louis as he gave a malicious smile.

The two of them kept arguing there while the robot Hector heard everything from the mysterious witch's basement, she was a little angry, since those laws were quite absurd and it was something that could make her return very difficult.

- (That's a shot in the foot... I'm risking making the witches worse in the future, so the path is free in case it is necessary for me to use my brute force to get where I want, if I come back in 16 years and the witches stay too low I can get in trouble, the magic can die and the witches become dependent on witch stones just to use a basic spell and it kills even my inner magic that took me so many years to get back).

Back in Luna Nova, the three girls were still arguing about how they were going to open a campaign for the independence referendum in Scotland and were soon finishing the conversation and they said goodbye right there in the meeting room.

- Well, Akko and I will try our best to get as many votes up in Glasgow as possible.

Says Diana.

- I will help you...

Says Sarah until Diana interrupts her.

- No, you stay home, taking care of Avery, you can let us do everything for the people to accept more and more the idea of independent Scotland.

Says Diana with her hand on her chest.

- You are loving this idea aren't you?

Says Sarah smiling at Diana.

- As a Scot I feel in the honor of defending my nation from this idiot minister, Scotland will become the witch's paradise of Britain, along with Ireland.

Says Diana confident.

- That's my Flying Scot.

Says Akko hugging Diana from behind.

Then Diana and Akko together with Sarah, leave the meeting room and also Luna Nova, using the lines of Ley to reach the witch stone of the Cavendish family residence, where the girls separate. Bernhardt goes to her house while Casal Cavendish Kagari only goes to the inside of the house, where when they enter soon they are received by Laura and Bernadette who took care of little Marianne who was watching TV and clapping hands.

- Sis! Akko!

Says Hellene running towards them and embracing them

- Hi Hellene.

They say both while the little one was hugging Diana while they went to the kitchen.

- So how was the reunion?

Says Laura curious while drinking a cup of soda.

- Well what money doesn't do to convince girls, now we just need to keep spreading the campaign by showing support with the plebiscite, so tomorrow we go to Glasgow, being the biggest city in Scotland, may have a large percentage of votes in favor.

Says Diana.

- Glasgow is just the most difficult city, not only because it is the biggest, but also because the inhabitants of Glasgow have always been very supportive of the United Kingdom and don't have as much separatist desire as Weddinburgh.

Says Laura.

- It doesn't hurt to try; it's not mummy's gossip.

Says Diana holding Marianne in her arms while she smiles at her.

- I only say that you will need a lot of patience, I go with you because I know the Lancasters, they are very influential witches in Glasgow.

Says Laura as Marianne pulled on Diana's blouse and started sucking on it.

- Lancaster? Are you talking about my family? I can also go along; it's been a while since I visited my mother.

Says Frank.

- If it's Molly Lancaster you're talking about, I'll go along too, I can take advantage and call Beatrice too.

Says Bernadette until Bernadette signals.

- From a smoker it's not enough Molly, calling Beatrice will only make that Lancaster family mansion that already stinks of tobacco stink even more.

Says Laura as she shook her hands and the girls imitated her laughing.

15th December 2020, the girls take advantage of the following day to go to Glasgow where they arrive to the Lancaster family residence and soon they are welcomed by Molly who was with Beatrice, making Laura soon hide a disgusted expression, since she smelled the tobacco coming from far away

Diana talked a little with them about the referendum that will be voted on the 20th and the girls were already showing some support, which was surprising, even more of a witch of Glasgow, they also say that they will do a campaign to see if they get more votes, in this Molly plans a meeting in downtown with all the witches in the city to further promote the campaign of Scotland become independent.

In several cities throughout Scotland, Luna Nova teachers travelled among them to convince the population about the referendum and surprisingly everyone agreed, which led to the conclusion that in Scotland there was a large majority wanting to be free.

But they still had their southern neighbors, as much as Scotland has most of the votes there, the girls still had to convince the English, which was not going to be such a complicated task, since there was also a very positive campaign about voting in support of the separation of Scotland from the UK, which made some English people confused about it.

20 December 2020, voting day arrives after a campaign on both sides to convince the majority of the people to vote in support of the separation of Scotland from the UK. With some 34,871,449 votes across Britain, the vote was very intense to determine whether Scotland would remain or be an independent nation, the result was 74% to 26%, with the majority voting in favor of Scotland separating. This generated a huge party on the outskirts of Weddinburgh and Glasgow for all the people commemorating the separation. Diana and the witches of Luna Nova were relieved that they would finally be free of the stone in the shoe that would be dealing with the prime minister there.

Due to the independence, already had a great preparation of Scotland if this happened and was elected as Prime Minister of Scotland, Harry Lancaster, father of Phoebe Morris who was already a very influential politician there, the money also ended up having a slight change, now the local currency was the Scottish Pound, which instead of having the Queen of England in front, it was decided to put different personalities on each bill, being the bills of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 pounds. On the 1 pound bill the chosen personality was Alexander Graham Bell, on the 2 pound bill a tribute to the Flying Scot, also known as Diana Cavendish, on the 5 pound bill Herald Stewart and Joachim Clark, two historic Gran Prix Tour champions, on the £10 banknote Tony Blair, the £20 banknote Maria Stuart, the £50 banknote James Watt and the £100 banknote Kenneth I, the first king of Scotland. On the 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 cent coins, all contained the effigy of Beatrix Cavendish on the front and Woodward Cavendish on the back one of the greatest Scots in history who was also responsible for helping the witches in that country and also the people who had great admiration for everything she had done.

See you, Scottish witches...
