Chapter 1


"Salem," Sabrina yelled from the kitchen.

The small black cat came into the room. "Yes?"

"What did you do with my rat?"

"What?"

"You know, the one for my science experiment!"

"Oh...that rat."

"What do you mean, "that rat"," Sabrina said.

"I...uh...."

"Salem! I can't believe you did this! My science project is due today!"

"You didn't even let me finish Sabrina. I didn't do anything."

"Sure you didn't!"

"I didn't."

"Then where is it!?"

"Ok ok I let it loose. How can I keep a rat crawling around and not be tempted to eat it?"

"Salem what am I supposed to do now?"

"Use your magic."

"Your right." She turned to both sides and checked to make sure one of her aunts wasn't coming. No sign of them. Hilda and Zelda had told her not to use magic for school work but they wouldn't care, this was an emergency. She zapped a posterboard in her hand with observations of a rat's eating rate. A second later a rat was in a cage in her hand. "Thanks for the idea Salem."

"That's what I'm here for," he said and jumped off the table and into the living room.

Sabrina grabbed her backpack and walked to the busstop.

**At School**

"Hey Sabrina," Valerie said.

"Oh hey Valerie. Listen have you seen Harvey around?"

"No why?"

"I have to talk to him about our science project."

"Oh." Valerie said looking down at her black skirt and red button-down shirt. "So you like my new ensemble?" she asked turning around.

"Wow, I like." Sabrina looked at her plain khakis and a black t-shirt that said "Witch". "I wish I could afford something like that."

"Well now that I'm working at the new motel on 4th street I can afford practically anything." She seemed to be bragging but Sabrina ignored it.
She quantly looked around for Harvey again, when Libby came over to them with her Cheerleading uniform on.

"Hey Valerie."
