Welcome back and enjoy.
"Enrolling her? Nope, not going to happen." Eda said to Camila. "And why is that?" "Do you not remember what your daughter is?! She won't last a week, No offense kid."
"And you said that this place was safe for her!" "OK, I may have slightly lied a bit..., but honestly that school system is the worst, they force you to learn magic the "proper" way. But magic isn't proper. It's wild and unpredictable. And that's why it's so beautiful. I didn't finish school, and look at me! "
"Can't believe I'm taking advice from a school dropout..." Camila said facepalming herself before whispering to Eda. "So about what happened at the manor..." Eda then grabbed Camila's hand. "Hey, Luz you don't mind if I take your mother to have a talk right?" "Uhh..."
"Thanks!" She then took Camila upstairs and into her room before closing the door and was now glaring at the Latina. "Listen only a very few know the true meaning of my nickname and Luz sees me as a mentor I think... if she sees me as that thing, she'll probably never..." Camila then placed her shoulder. "We can fix this together but for that... you have to teach me."
Eda slightly turned red from the shoulder touch as she then shook the feeling away. "Alright... but what do you know about monsters?" "Well, I'm both a nurse and a veterinarian." "A what now?" Camila giggled a bit before telling Eda about what it meant as Eda then looked at the pamphlet Camila got from the convention as she then tore a few pages from it and laid them on the floor.
"Beast Keeping, Healing, and Potions should be enough for right?" "I think so..." "Great now get on it apprentice!" Eda ordered before dropping a large stack of books as Camila looked at it. "Volume 1?!" "Don't worry there's like four more." Before Camila could say more Luz opened the door. "So... about school?"
"Luz, Eda, and I are in the middle of..." "Are you learning magic?" Camila was now trying to find an excuse but couldn't as she said "Yes, but... it's more of private practice with Eda and why join us when you're going to learn it with peers your age?" "You mean..."
Camila nodded as Luz squealed before slithering and hugging her. "But first we have to deal with the actual enrollment, Eda how does it work?" Eda was dazed for a second before getting back to reality. "What? oh, school right so what age is she?" "Nine."
[A/N will retcon/edit a few chapters later]
"Well, at least she'll be with the youngins, little devils they are," Eda said as the three of them then left towards the school.
Hexside School of Magic and Demonics
"So it's safe to go inside right?" Camila asked Eda who did nothing but gulp. "School memories?" "You could say that." Luz then chewed down a few cards as she then shifted. "How do I look?" "Mija your ears."
Camila said as Luz's ears were still floppy and blue as Eda handed her a kitty sweater with a hoodie. "Here found this once could you believe how someone left it hanging on a string?" Camila was about to tell Eda that it was stealing as Luz wore the hoodie. "Look, Mama MEOW MEOW!" "Luz you always find a way to make me laugh." Camila laughed as Eda then pushed them in front of the door before handing her a script.
"Just read it and you should have no problem." "Right..." Camila questioned as Eda then hid in a bush as Camila was about to knock on the door as she heard a scream at which then simply opened as several students with different color uniforms walked out talking and chatting until the last student walked out as they walked inside as they strolled around as they reached the principal's office as they then knocked as Camila looked at the script. "And Eda says that this "Sob story" will work on him yeah right."
One hour later
"Another tissue seƱor?" Camila asked the principal as she had told him, Her and Luz's "Sob story" which was about ten minutes long and they waited fifty minutes for him to finally stop crying his eyes out while Luz could swear that the script sounded like a movie she watched back in the human realm. Soon he finally stopped as he cleared his throat.
"Well since you two are going to be stuck here for a while I can't see why the school can't have a "Transfer Student" here, now to complete this process we have a few things taken care of." "Well let's get the paperwork over with then," Camila said as Bump then dropped a large pile of paperwork as he handed Camila a quill and ink as she carefully looked at the fine print as she signed and stopped and read "All types of demons and witches are accepted except for the following: Pixes, Faries, and BASILISKS!" The last one which was in large letters and in red ink or blood Camila couldn't tell the difference as Luz then made her hoodie even tighter.
They then left the school with a large stack of pamphlets as Eda got out of the bushes now with twigs and leaves in her hair. "So I'm guessing it went well?" Camila and Luz were silent as they walked back to the owl house and at that point, Camila then held Eda by her torn dress. "What, what did I do?" Camila then placed the fine print in front of the witch's face. "Ohh... listen as long as she keeps her form..." "So what she just lives a false life?!"
"Mama it's alright," Luz said trying to calm down the situation as Eda then summoned her staff. "Oh like I'm afraid of a stick." "It's more powerful than you think... you pathetic human."
Camila then yelled before tackling Eda as Luz tried to look away but couldn't as Eda then swung the front of her staff on Camila's head who then fell to the floor holding her head as it bleed. "MOM!" Luz then ran to her adoptive mother as Eda then opened the portal door and said "Leave," "But you promised Luz that..."
"LEAVE!" Eda shouted at the top of her lungs as Camila carried Luz in her arms. "And I thought you actually cared for her..." She and Luz then walked through as Eda closed the door. "Well back to being alone, should probably take a nap and..."
"SURPRISE!" Hooty shouted before blowing a party horn in Eda's ears and wearing a party head as the witch's ears started to bleed as her adrenaline went off as she tried to make her room but ended up falling to the floor as her gem started to turn pitch black as she quickly opened the portal as feathers began to appear all over her.
"Do we have to sleep here?" Luz asked as Camila moved a few old newspapers. "Well, you heard what that bruja said." "I still think that..." Soon the portal appeared as a scream came out of it. "EDA!" Luz then scrambled to the portal as Camila then pinned her down. "Mom she's suffering..." "And? She probably deserved to be cursed in the first place."
"Cursed?!" Luz said in shock as Camila pinched her nose. "Damn it you weren't supposed to know that." Camila then took a deep breath before sighing and entering the portal with Luz following as they both saw Eda laying on the floor, feathers all over her as she looked at them one of her eyes pitch black. "Dois Mio." "My Elixir inside a chest in my room."
Luz then slithered upstairs as Camila then held Eda tightly as the witch cried as Camila shushed her and patted her back.
"Shhh it'll be alright, I'm here for you." "Got it," Luz said as she held a bottle of yellow liquid as Camila read the label An elixir a day keeps the curse at bay she then popped the cork open as she placed a straw inside it and handed it to Eda as she sipped it as the feathers began to fall off as the blackness in her eye retracted while tears still came out of her.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." The witch said as snot started to come out of her nose as Camila and Luz comforted her.
The next day things slightly went to normal as Camila (Now wearing a bandage and healing glyph on her head) made a schedule for Eda's Elixirs which was her first study session while stirring a cauldron and adding herbs while reading a book Eda gave her. "Mom is that safe?" "Luz it's the same as making stew." "Really cause it's turning boiling green."
Camila then stopped as Eda then quickly made a shield over it as it exploded turning the table into a floppy mess. "Let me see that." Eda then looked at the book. "Oh yeah classic mistake of too many herbs/too much stirring, nice try though."
Eda then patted her as Luz was drawing. "What you drawing kid?" "This." Luz then showed them a doddle drawing of them together as Eda took It and hung it on the fridge. "And just think in a week you're starting your first day although you'll mostly be in the "Baby class" unless you know two spells and with a week that seems a bit hard but not impossible."
"We'll be with you the whole way," Camila said as she and Eda hugged her. "Wow, it's like having two moms." That quickly caused the witch and the human to turn bright red as they stared at each other.
