The week goes by in Luna Nova, things are happening without much difference, Bianca Windsor remains a little shy to approach the group of girls since she was a little intimidated when she was near Hilda and the other girls, even more by the fact that she brakes when she talks to the girl she likes. The most that happened was the blonde asking to borrow a feather from the German girl, who handed it to her, already finding it a little strange the fact that she was always blushing and shaking a little when she gave it back to Braunchsbank, which ruined her disguise.
With Louise and Diana, things were getting more different, the Du Nord stopped trying anything with the Cavendish during the baths, staying more reserved in hers, the two were even more separated and distant every bath they were taking, which worried Hilda a little, since they used to be very close, things after that day left the two girls much more distant from each other, as if they were avoiding each other's desires and it wasn't rare the moments that one of them stayed alone in the bathroom locked there after everybody was taking a bath, doing who knows what.
Louise and Diana were distant that way even when it was outside the bathroom, in the corridors who always divided the group was Hilda who stayed in the middle of the two to not create a sexual tension that had between Du Nord and Cavendish, but unfortunately during these days there was always someone who kept an eye on all that tension and it was Margaret who thought it was a perfect opportunity for her to act in relation to the girl she had such a passion for, but for this she would only need to wait a little because Ford had ulterior motives with all that.
September 12, 1913, Friday arrives, the last day of school that week, which would be the perfect day for Margaret to start acting. The sun rays were beating on the blue team's room, waking Ford from her private room which the girl always used to sleep totally naked, the same one gets up from her bed arranging her with magic and goes walking to the room's bathroom, where she turns on the shower and let the water all down her curves, reflecting about the plan that was in mind for Diana.
- (Today is the perfect day, I just need Diana and that Louise Du Nord girl to stay away from each other! And so I will call for Diana to come here to see me in my room and who knows then I might be able to get something with her, who knows with me she might not want something I've never been able to do with her since last time... With her at least I have to maintain consent, because if not Diana might get scared, I don't want to force her to do something against her will, but this time I have the right way to act and thus achieve something with her).
Margaret continues with her thoughts during the shower and after washing herself, the girl dries herself with the towel and comes out of the bathroom with her body totally naked and soon runs into Elisabeth and Anne who had already woken up and they are looking at Ford, only McLaren is a little disgusted to see her naked roommate, with her body showing some of the many scars she had on display, the redhead even tries to give the brunette a mild scolding.
- Aren't you ashamed to be naked like that in front of us? You don't have an ounce of decency, since last week you've been this same shit Margareth, come on stop being shameless, sometimes it bothers a little you know, put a towel on at least.
Says Elisabeth.
- What's good is to be shown. If you're bothered, just don't look, now go take your showers and leave me alone, there's nothing wrong with being outdoors for a while, by the way, I don't want you to come to my room after school, at least not until curfew, I'm going to invite someone over and I want privacy. I don't mind you seeing me having sex, but I do mind you seeing the person I'm going to have sex with.
Says Margareth.
- And who will have the misfortune to do anything with you?
Says Elisabeth.
- No one you care about, you better keep quiet if you don't want to swallow those teeth, I'm not going to talk to who you are and you're going to keep quiet or I'll let your little secret out... Charles.
Says Margaret as Elisabeth swallows her own saliva and then becomes furious and has to be held back by Anne.
- Don't call me that! You bastard! I hate it when I'm called that!
Says Elisabeth angrily.
- So you better keep your mouth shut, honestly, how did this academy allow someone like you to come here, I hope that's just a name anyway? Is that your birth name?
Says Margareth.
- You don't care either, you idiot.
Says Elisabeth.
- This is not the way to talk to me Charles, answer me or it may cost you your little secret.
Margaret says, until Elisabeth snorts and looks a little giddy.
- Yes, it is... It's my birth name, my parents called me Charles when I was born, they wanted to have a boy, but when they went to see... A girl was born, but they didn't give up the name, it's just that I really hate the name... Please... Keep this secret Margaret...
Says Elisabeth in a more melancholy tone.
- Ah good to know... So I'll be able to rely on you for more secrets... And you two... What are you waiting for to take a bath? You'll be late for class.
Says Margareth going to her private room.
Elisabeth and Anne then go to take a shower, while Margaret gets changed and puts on her uniform, and also gets ready, the girl writes a letter, closes the envelope and quickly leaves the blue team's room, going to the red team's room, where she slips the envelope under the door and leaves towards the classroom, since she didn't have much to do.
In the red team's room, Diana and Hilda were coming out of the bathroom wrapped in towels, while Louise was still in the bathroom, finishing with her bath. The Scottish girl and the German girl soon come across the envelope on the floor and the green-haired girl is the one who squats down and picks up that letter, where she soon notices a "To: Diana".
- Is it another B.W. letter?
Says Hilda curiously.
- This time it is not a letter from your secret admirer, but a letter to me from an admirer I am very familiar with.
Says Diana after looking "From: Margareth."
- Margareth?
Hilda says.
- Exactly her, you could imagine that Margaret wouldn't rest until she wanted to send such a letter, especially since she can't forget me.
Says Diana as from the bathroom Louise had her ear pressed against the door, listening to everything as the two thought she was touching herself.
"Dear Diana, I will be very brief with you, you know how I have strong feelings for you... You know how much I love you, I still haven't forgotten you, I want to have you as a special person, but I also know it's not that easy, so I want to be able to redeem myself for what I did last time, I want you to forgive me for having grabbed you by force that day... I didn't mean it, it was an impulse, I was tense that day... You know very well that my father is a horrible person... Please Diana talk to me after school, come to the blue team room and I promise everything between us will be solved, I really promise... I love you Diana Cavendish and I will always love you, I want to fix the mistakes I've made... Margaret Ford"
- And what did she say?
Says Hilda curiously while Diana was almost crying.
- Nothing she said... It's just water under the bridge... She's just trying to solve an old problem.
Diana says, turning and going toward the vest that was resting on a desk.
Louise, who was spying on everything, accidentally tripped and the door opened, revealing that Du Nord had been spying on everything the two were talking about. Naked she goes to Cavendish and hugs her, leaving her without any reaction, the Scottish woman didn't know how to react when she felt the embrace of the Frenchwoman.
- Don't cry Diana... Seeing you like this is heartwarming.
Says Louise.
- I'm not crying, they are just memories... Memories that I don't like to remember.
Diana says without reaction.
- It's okay Diana... These things will pass... Everything will be alright...
Louise says until Diana pushes her away.
- Now, please, go get dressed, I can't react feeling your warm body embracing me... Your breasts are touching mine... Look girls, don't comment to Elisa and Anne about this, Margaret probably doesn't want to know that more people than you know... So keep it a secret.
Diana says, turning her face away.
Louise just nods in agreement, she puts on her uniform and so the girls of the red team with books in their hands go into the classroom. Time went by, the morning classes were over, lunch time was over, as usual it was always the group of five witches consisting of Diana, Louise, Hilda, Elisabeth and Anne who were gathered in every break to eat together and talk about class, Cavendish during all this time made sure to keep secret about the letter that was sent by Margaret to her. After that they had their afternoon classes, where the girls left the class, Margaret soon gestured to go to her room, while Diana was still with her group, which she walked around a bit to wind them up.
- Girls I have to go to an appointment now, see you later.
Diana says.
- A compromise? What would it be?
Says Elisabeth curiously.
- It's more of a family commitment, it's private of mine, I have to go now.
Says Diana walking backwards and waving to the girls.
- Okay.
Says Elisabeth shrugging her shoulders.
Diana then goes through the corridors, where she notices that Margaret was waiting for her and goes with her to the blue team's room, without arousing too much suspicion, while in the group of girls, they notice the disappearance of another person, which was Louise who left there and hid in the middle of the corridors.
- Louise has disappeared too? How strange.
Says Anne.
- Hilda, Diana lied and is actually going to do something else with Louise? They are girlfriends and we didn't even know it? How strange, very strange indeed, Diana's reaction and Louise's sudden reaction.
Says Elisabeth.
- Probably yes, but I don't know, look girls, I'm going to take advantage of the fact that the two of you are out to tell you some things that are pretty hairy about the two little girls.
Hilda says, making Elisabeth and Anne curious.
In the corridors, Louise was slowly sneaking past places while following Diana and Margaret who soon arrive at the blue team's room and enter there, quickly Du Nord turns into a ferret and manages to sneak through the door of the room staying hidden there while listening to Ford's conversation with Cavendish.
In the hallways the three girls were gossiping among themselves about Diana and Louise almost grabbing each other a few times during the time they are taking a shower, as well as when they take a little longer, until the teacher Denise arrives carrying a bouquet of flowers in her hand, soon having her attention called by the teacher, who just gave Elisabeth a gentle nudge on the shoulder.
- How cute the girls gossiping about the lives of the other students.
Denise says.
- Oh Mom! It's no big deal... And this bouquet of flowers? Is anyone falling in love again?
Says Elisabeth suspiciously.
- That... Ah... Miranda gave it to me, she wanted to... Thank you for the good work. Look I will not say anything to you ... You can gossip all you want, I'm just going to my room to put that kind of stuff away, ah and Elisa, here, you won't forget your transition potions, you don't want it to take that long to be complete.
Denise blushes a little and then hands a bottle to Elisabeth.
Elisabeth takes the bottle and drinks all the liquid, handing it to her mother, who says goodbye to the girls and goes down the corridors, taking the bouquet of flowers to her room, leaving it as a souvenir of Miranda. While the girls stared at the teacher leaving, holding back their laughter.
- Will the principal and the mother stay together?
Says Elisabeth.
- I think it would be good for Mrs. McLaren to find someone, she has been very lonely these years, she deserves a companion, but anyway... Gossip more about Diana and Louise, we have to get these two together.
Says Anne.
- Okay, I'll tell you a little bit more about them.
Hilda says.
The two girls celebrate and from there begins a real gossip between them about the interactions of Diana and Louise in the bath, about the feelings they had for each other, but still kept to themselves, and also about the way Du Nord was quite impulsive and acted before speaking. Back in the blue team's room, Margaret points to the couch and gently asks Diana to sit down, Cavendish soon takes a seat, as does Ford and the two begin to drink tea while talking to each other. Louise was hiding and hearing everything clearly.
- Very well Margaret, finally we could talk between just the two of us after years... That's what you called me for... Right?
Diana says.
- That's exactly right Diana, but also because I want to apologize... That day when I grabbed you by force was an impulse... I thought that was the only chance we had to do that Diana... I thought it would be all or nothing, if I didn't do that our love couldn't come true...
Says Margareth until Diana completes it and Louise is in shock.
- (What? She grabbed Diana by force? What a silly little girl, this is very wrong, she can't do this to Diana, it's disrespectful to her personal space... I can even try to grab her, but I have my limits, I will never do that if Diana doesn't want to...)
- Margaret, I love you too, but not in the same way that you love me, understand once and for all that I just like you as my sister, I even think it's wrong to stay with you, I've always said that... Why continue in this... I really admire how much you have suffered and how much you are in love with me... But this relationship will not bear fruit, there is much more that makes me not want you beyond this... Understand Margaret...
Diana says until an irritated Margaret completes her.
- But that French girl you don't hesitate to tense up. Do you think I'm a fool? I know about the sexual tension between you two. I'm not an imbecile! With that French girl you don't make such excuses... But that's ok... I'll get your surprise in my room, wait until I call you, okay?
Says Margareth while Diana was getting confused and at the same time agreed with her head.
Margaret passes through the corridor and enters her private room, where she is going to prepare the surprise for Diana, Louise was listening to everything, she was somewhat in shock, at all those answers given.
- (She has noticed... The tension between Diana and me... Damn... I thought they wouldn't notice, but I try to disguise it in every possible way... Not enough it seems... I am afraid of what Margaret might do to Diana... Better to keep quiet in my place).
Louise and Diana wait for a while until Margaret finally calls out to Diana, who goes to her room and when she opens the door, she blushes and shyly closes it, turning her face away.
- Ah Diana, don't be shy! Let's go!
Says Margareth using a spell that opened the door at once while Diana was facing backwards.
Margareth was lying naked on her bed, with some petals on her body and on the bed, as well as candle lights, Louise also comes across the scene and stands in shock spying on the girl. Margareth then gets up and tries anyway to go towards Cavendish, but when she reaches the door the Du Nord casts a spell on the door.
- Go Diana! Get out of the room! Let's get out of here!
Says Louise.
- Louise?
Diana says confused.
Diana without much question leaves the room while Louise turned the doorknob so that it left the door locked, then Du Nord manages to get out of that room running along with Cavendish and the two go to one of the corridors and both were panting. Already Margaret started kicking the door, noticing that it was locked with magic she casts a spell that makes the door fly away with an explosion.
- Shit! She ran away from me! She ran away from me! All because of... That girl! Who followed Diana... That damned French girl!
Says Margareth stomping angrily on the floor and closing the main door of the room since there were some students looking at her body.
After that moment Margaret goes back to her room and puts on a robe and gets a bit angry, while Diana and Louise go to the red team's room, where they both stare at each other and then Du Nord gets a bit upset.
- Sorry to have followed you Diana... I was worried... I can't trust that one...
Louise says until Diana interrupts her with a kiss followed by a hug.
- You saved me Louise! If it wasn't for you something much worse would have happened... Thank you for everything you've done for me...
Diana says.
- I'm sorry I found out your secret... So that's why you were like that this morning?
Says Louise as Diana nodded in agreement.
In an act of kindness Louise starts to tell Diana about her cruel past, something she would only tell to a person she felt she could trust, which brought the Cavendish even closer to Du Nord, who didn't know that the Frenchwoman's past had been so troubled. After telling a good part of the story, Elisabeth, Anne and Hilda arrive and are gossiping among themselves.
See you, asshole witch...
