POV Narrator:

The days went by after Christmas, Laura and Bernadette spent much of the morning of those same days training Cavendish to be a racer in the BBRT, using the broom that McLaren had won from LEAF as a reward for winning the championship and all 15 races of the season, The results for the Scot were gradually improving, she was able to do even lower lap times than before, managing to make turns using the whole track and her smooth driving style, which even surprised her girlfriend for the smoothness in all that speed, even more so since it was only a few days of training that passed.

The couple spent New Year's Eve at the McLaren family home, and the year 1987 in which the last 3 months came with news after news, events that would come to mark the girls, relationships that were started, friendships that were created, a lot of things happened, even a girl who became free from the clutches and pressure of the family. The year 1988 was beginning, a year that would be a real box of surprises for the girls, Laura and Bernadette were this time together and would go through that year as a couple, facing things together, preparing for future events. It also marked the beginning of the second term of the Luna Nova school year. Many of the students were already returning to the academy for the start of classes that would begin on January 11th.

Friday, January 8, 1988

Laura and Bernadette's last day at the McLaren family's residence before returning to Luna Nova and going back to their studies. After a long period there, the Cavendish girl was already feeling at home and quite comfortable with all her girlfriend's family, everyone accepted her well, everyone liked her and considered her very much. After many things they had experienced in those days spent together in the same house, the two girls were about to go back to the boarding school and stay each in their own room, although this time it would be different, since they were dating. The day was dawning for the two girls that morning, the couple was waking up after a night of lots of love where they made sure to love each other as much as they could to emphasize that they were enjoying that last night with all the privacy in the world, in their own room at McLaren.

POV Laura:

Ahhhh... Let's go back to Luna Nova... Sucks... Just when it was getting so good to fuck Bern every day... Well, at least she has made amazing progress with the broom, she will be able to get ahead for sure, she might even risk taking my positions if I falter... So great, Bern's training went very well, but now let's go back to Luna Nova, we still have a long way to go and it's only a matter of time until the summer vacations arrive, where we can enjoy three long months of rest, I soon leave the conch, since my cabbage was wrapping me up and with that she wakes up and nudges me on my back, I turn around and face those beautiful pairs of olive green eyes, just kissing them good morning.

- Good morning my love - I tell her.

- Good morning beautiful - said the cute cabbage returning the good morning kiss.

I get out of bed, as does she and we start to do the basic hygiene that we do every day, we take a shower, brush our teeth, wash our faces, the basics that we always do in the bathroom, of course in the shower we got a little excited, we made a little love, because no one can be immune and seriously, it feels so good so why not do it? I love every moment with Bern and I have to enjoy my bath one last time before I come back here in the summer or maybe in the spring, well whatever, after that bath, we put on our Luna Nova uniforms and start packing, I shrink one of my TVs and give it to the cabbage, as well as a power generator that takes magic to turn into electricity, since she will need it if she wants to play video games in her room, even more so since that gym refuses to use electricity, besides forbidding technology, which is a fucking delay. After we change, pack our bags and everything else, we go downstairs, leave the bags on the sofa and go to the kitchen to have breakfast.

- Good morning! - We told my family that everyone was awake, my father as always reading the newspaper and my mother was making a real feast for us, there was everything, wow... I loved it, my little sister who soon got all clingy hugging me, the worst part is that she is taller... Even if only a little.

- My little sister... I'm going to miss you so much - she said, crying with emotion.

- Easy girl, I'm going to Luna Nova, but you will still see me during the races and don't even think about visiting me there, but be cool, we will soon be able to see each other more often, that's for sure - I tell her.

- Oh, you say that, but you can't even see me - she said tearfully.

After all that mingling with my sister Bern and I went to eat, we had everything, but my favorite will always be the pancakes with maple syrup, I ate until I was full, it was very good, besides having some milk cartons too, Bern had cheese pancakes, I ate some, after we ate everything it was time, we got our brooms, and the backpacks we put on our backs and went to the backyard, where my whole family followed me.

POV Bernadette:

Finally leaving Laura's family home, to think that before I came here I didn't even imagine that my relationship with her would really take on such proportions, that everything would change for the better for my side... Look, these were the best days I have had in my life so far... I have never been this happy since my father was alive... Laura is an amazing person, although she still behaves in a very debauched and clueless way, she is my clueless debauch... And I love this girl, well... Let's say goodbye to this family, I quickly turn to them already on the broom and wave to everyone.

- Goodbye Joanne! Goodbye Mark! Goodbye Elisabeth! Goodbye Chelsea! It was very nice to meet you all... I really felt very welcome in this family... I've really enjoyed my time here and I've enjoyed you too - I tell them waving and starting to float.

- Goodbye Bernadette, know that we already love you from this moment on, consider yourself a part of the family... Oh and goodbye Laura, behave yourself in Luna Nova, we will miss you a lot and don't stop writing, don't stop seeing us - said Laura's great-grandmother waving to us.

After that moment we started to fly towards Luna Nova, I even went with the racing broom that I trained a lot these days and wow... This thing really has the capacity to go very fast, I managed to train and lower my time in that track and we even raced in other tracks, it was really a nice time training with Laura the broom flight... I even learned some mechanical details with her, who would say, I am even learning how to adjust a racing broom... Laura is really a magic person... I never imagined that the great love of my life would be her... So much so that I looked at her and she looked back smiling... She is so cute my little freckles.

- And then love... How do you like it? This is my family, we are like this all the time, we were not just trying to make a good impression on you because you are someone new in the family, we are really like that you saw.

- I loved every minute in your family's home, my love, in fact I loved it, especially you... I've never felt so happy in my life, I love you so much Laura - I tell her and she just blushes and smiles at me.

- And I'll make you even happier, you can be sure, I want to make you the happiest person in the world by your side, I love you Bernadette Cavendish so much - She is a pit of rudeness, but sometimes she can be cute.

We soon arrived in Luna Nova, the broomstick held up until we got to the gym, the magic orb didn't even warm up, which was great for our training, since the BBRT pre-season was approaching, so as soon as we arrived we kissed in the middle of the hallways and each one of us got separated, going to our dorms... Hehe... How cute Laura walks and her skirt is all wiggling because of her huge buttocks, I never noticed how they wiggle so much... Ahh Stop thinking about nonsense Bern, this is no time for that. From there I go to my dorm which I soon notice that I haven't been approached by Professor Finnelan until now, which was great, I just had to go back to the room, the moment I enter I find myself smelling Beatrice and Molly's "aromatic herbs", besides the two of them lying on the couch completely naked, they weren't even awake, they were only sleeping, so I go straight to my private room, leave my things and put a blanket over their bodies, besides transporting them to the carpet, I also use a spell to tidy up the mess and take away that smell, until with the noise one of them wakes up and it was Beatrice.

- Huh? What's going on? Oh shit no teacher, it's nothing like that... Bern? Oh you're back, I thought you already fucked up - said Bea, who woke up in despair thinking she had been discovered.

- Good morning to you too Beatrice, put some clothes on, I don't want to see you naked - I say turning my face away in embarrassment.

- Hmmm... Good morning Bernadette, you're back, how wonderful, oh and good morning Bea - Molly said sleepily.

- Go get dressed and I'll tell you everything that happened during the days I was away - I say to the two of them, who soon get up without covering their bodies or anything and go naked to Bea's private room to take a shower in her suite, while I'm just cleaning up the rest of the mess they made in the dorm, I bet they haven't cleaned up this place since the day I left Luna Nova for my family's residence. What a hell of a mess. I don't know how they manage to live in this pigsty, right in an upper class dorm and they leave all this mess.

POV Laura:

I'm home... Fuck back to Luna Nova, now it's going to be fucked up, I'm sure, next to my cute cabbage the days here will be much less boring, I just want to see what that boring old teacher is going to... Speaking of her, I passed by her and she only gave me a look of disgust and anger, but I just ignored her and continued my way normally without anyone disturbing me until I got to my room, where as soon as I opened the door I found Rose who was doing her nails and April who was on the computer as usual, doing all those codes and more codes, well I soon put my bags on my bed and both noticed. The skinny one got up and went running to hug me.

- Laura! You fucking asshole! I've missed you so much, you hottie! Fuck you! I love you so much you little bitch - April said hugging me with her usual kindness.

- I say the same broom standing up, though I did see you last week, we New Year's together for fuck's sake! But fuck it, I missed you nagging me and telling you to go fuck yourself! I love you too, you asshole - I say, patting her on the back.

- I am amazed at your friendship and kindness... It's a beautiful business... Wow... Oh and Laura! It's good to see you girl, I just won't hug you now because I'm doing my nails, but it's good to see you back, I missed you a lot, although we saw each other once in a while when I delivered Bern's letters... By the way... I haven't seen you since the day she went there... How are things with you two? - Said Rose, already wanting to know about gossip... Oh, I guess I will have to talk a lot about everything that happened.

I soon start gossiping to Rose about everything, about the beginning for good of my relationship with Bern, about how we have even made love and are enjoying everything, about her grandmother's visit at Christmas, where I almost think it was her homophobic mother, but luckily it wasn't, about us finding out about her being disowned, and about my training with Bern where she is going to race in the British Broom Racing Tour, which kind of gives me an idea.

- Hey April, want to make some money? Bern is going to start racing, but she can't race alone, she needs a team to help her in the pits and you would serve very well as a strategist, sending her to the pits to change the broom's wings, besides checking all the broom's condition, so you can help her in moments that she needs to take her foot off or not, since I have no doubt that you understand very well those racing computers - I say to April who only shrugs.

- I'll even accept, it will be nice to help Bern beat you, then I accept, I will study the race strategy and the race computers, to better analyze, but you can count on me, how much will I win? - said April.

- It's 10 thousand pounds per point won, so take advantage and at least leave Bern in the sixth position, because from this position down you can't score more points, and you can even get 10 points if you win the race, if you win the pre-race you already have 50 thousand pounds to start the season, then you decide with Bern - I tell her, in a very clear way until Rose interrupts us.

- I don't mean to interrupt, but it is really good to see you with Bern and helping her Laura... You've really matured a lot and you're becoming a more amazing person, more than you already are - Rose said, which made me go crazy, and then we soon went back to talking about what April was going to do at BBRT and Rose got a little interested too.

POV Bernadette:

I finished tidying up this whole room... Wow... I'm tired of so much zone in this place, I honestly don't know how they lived in the middle of so much zone, the strong smell, dirty clothes, even food... They must have had quite a party, it seems, the smell of the drink also gives it away, now that the minotaurs don't stop working until they finish cleaning everything, this pile of dirty clothes is worth more than the clothes of everyone in the whole academy. They soon come out of the bathroom, even smelling nice, they took a long time and I don't even want to question what they did.

- Wow! Holy shit Bernadette, this place is spot on, thanks a lot, we haven't tidied up here since we left Luna Nova, it was so lazy - said Beatrice. Just as I imagined.

- We had some parties too... I couldn't stand how crazy we got these days and Christmas? We had a great time, that Christmas tree made with a marijuana plant will go down in history... Hahaha, it was so fucked up, we laughed for hours - said Molly laughing over Beatrice's shoulder.

- That tree, we smoked it all... It was fucked up, it's a pity you're too lame Bern, because we were so fucking fucked up, but tell us about it... What was it like living in that place? Christmas for you must have been a complete shit, the way your mother is, I imagine she must have told you to study all those days, kept you in your room and only let you out at Christmas, seriously Bern, why don't you impose on your mother like you did here? - Bea says, until I give a brief smile.

- And who says I didn't? I tried to stand up for myself when I first arrived, worse that you are right about her keeping me in the room until Christmas, but you have no idea what happened afterwards - I tell them, Molly is in shock while Beatrice was just curious.

- I knew, my mother told me, your mother had come to her house a few days before Christmas, saying that you were behaving impossibly and that you had to be locked in your room until Christmas to discipline yourself - said Beatrice, until I started to tell her everything.

I start to tell everything that happened, the fight with my mother, the escape to Laura's house and the best thing that was the beginning of the dating and that's why I even said it was wonderful, all the days I spent there and also about the days I spent training with Laura and my plan to start working running on brooms, but for that I would also need a team helping me, besides I was disowned by the family and almost got screwed on the tuition, only my grandmother was helping all the time.

- You and Laura? Dating? Really? I already suspected it, but Bern... Do you know how the girls here are going to look? Laura is extremely desirable at this academy and if they find out that she is your girlfriend, they can do... A lot of damage to you - said Beatrice.

- I am happy for you my friend, look you have been through a lot, but know that... Beatrice and I won't let anything happen to you... It's not Beatrice - Molly said, elbowing Beatrice in the arm and grumbling.

- I know that, but they have to understand that Laura is no object, she is my girlfriend, if she is with me now it is because she loves me and I love her, so fuck them, I don't care about anything else, if they come to attack me, I will defend myself - I say confidently until Beatrice interrupts me.

- But seriously, what about this racing thing? You said you are going against Laura McLaren, your own girlfriend, and you need a team... Look, I don't like Laura at all, but I'll join the team just to see you beat her and leave her behind. - said Beatrice, all interested.

- It is 10 thousand pounds for each point won, if I get a victory I can earn 100 thousand pounds for the team, I need at least 9 witches to take care of the broom when I stop in the pits, the money... I will divide equally for each one of the team, remembering that I also have to bear the costs of the broom's maintenance, I am only in this because I want my own sustenance and I also want to become more independent - I say to Beatrice until she puts her hand in mine as well as Molly's, without even hesitating.

- I'm fucking in! If the team has 10 counting you we can win at least a thousand pounds each if you just score, or whatever, if we win then we win up to 10 bucks, so I'm in, this will give me more money than the drug business here in Luna Nova, even more that I'm losing market, some students are discovering how to grow their own and I have competition - Beatrice said, which makes me smile knowing that she will stop becoming a drug dealer, just to help me.

I soon start to explain the basics of the basics, about the broom races, each function very straightforwardly, the nine pit stop mechanics, eight of which change the wings of the broom, one is in front with the plate to leave the broom stopped and then there is the strategist as well and that's it for racing in a particular way, I would divide the salary of each one in a very fair way, I don't want to keep the majority, I will only divide a part destined to the broom and another part that I will divide equally between me and the girls, there are 12 who will be working in the team and I will leave 25% destined for expenses with the racing broom and the other 75% would be divided among the whole team in a fair way.

After all the explanation Beatrice soon was making a spreadsheet for the girls to sign, as she was passing, but I told her to wait a little and not to spread it to everyone, to find the best ones and with more vocation for these functions, after that I just say goodbye to the girls and go to the red team's room, talk to the girls there to see if they are interested too, Beatrice just shrugged and even made a joke saying that I would have sex with Laura? The only thing is that on the way back to the room I am soon approached by Professor Finnelan who doesn't think twice and immediately takes me to her room, pulling me by the arm aggressively, until she makes me sit on the sofa, looking at me with the deepest disgust.

- You lied to your mother saying that you went to Luna Nova, but in fact you were somewhere else? May I know where you went? - She said all nervous until I just stared at her with as little tension as possible and even started to laugh a little, I don't know why, but I felt like laughing at that situation.

- Hahaha... You don't scare me anymore Professor Finnelan, come on tell my mom everything, tell her I'm a lesbian! That I am dating Laura McLaren! Do you know what will happen? She won't give a damn, I've been disowned by her, it won't do any good to control me, and you know what, I'll stay here, because my grandmother is paying for my studies, by the way, stop controlling me, I'm free! I am Bernadette Cavendish Stewart! I am the master of my destiny! - I tell her as I leave the room and the same teacher is paralyzed in shock until just as I am about to leave the door magically closes and she stares at me angrily.

- What have you done Miss Cavendish? I can't believe you submitted to becoming a disgusting lesbian? I can't believe you're dating that girl! How disgusting! Your mother would be disgusted to hear that - the teacher said angrily, while I just shrugged.

- She may have even made me, but she never treated me with the love and affection that every mother should give a daughter, you really don't understand what it is to go through this, you only know how to boss others around and control them to think the way people with your mentality think, I'm going to the principal's office, I don't want you to go out and get the letters that my grandmother sent exclusively to me - I say, already getting the envelopes of letters sent by my grandmother to me, I saw many and soon left the room while just ignoring Professor Finnelan.

I went to the principal's office, where I immediately talked to Principal Holbrooke about the teacher's situation and asked her to send me straight to my room all the letters that my grandmother sends to me, because I really want to have all my privacy, and the principal understands by nodding her head, saying that she was not responsible for taking care of the mail and that she didn't even know that Ms. Finnelan had been intercepting the students' letters, since it is the academy's employees' job to take the letters to the students, she would even call a meeting about it and then she released me to go, and I left there all excited and smiling, with all the letters that my grandmother sent to me.

After that I go to the red team room, meet up with the girls and as soon as I enter I find Laura jumping on me and giving me that kiss... Hmmmm... That feels so good... But that's not why I came, although it is very nice, so much so that April separates us, haha, that's so cute, is she thinking we're that mushy? What a thing.

- Stop firing, this is no time to be almost having sex - April said, separating us.

- Oh come on skinny girl, when Scarlet's about to eat you or you're about to eat her, you don't say anything, so let's have some fun, you pain in the ass.

- It's okay honey, we have all the time for this, look I love you very much, we are still going to kiss a lot and even more than that, but let me see our friends again, it's been a long time since I've seen them - I say scratching the back of my neck until April gives me a hug.

- It's been a long time since we've seen each other - April said, even though we saw each other last week.

- It's good to see you too Rose, have you heard about us dating? Probably yes, since you were with us that day, I even forgot here haha... But seriously girl, you help me a lot... You and April are really friends that I can trust... So did Laura also tell you about my racing broom plan? - I tell the girls who only nod their heads in agreement.

- I'm your strategist, now just get a few more for our team, you can be sure I'll help with the strategies so that maybe we don't kick Laura's ass, honestly it was dull as fuck all the races last year, Laura is just superior to everyone else, she doesn't know how to play, this girl is in the wrong category, someone should have put her in the world league by now, she's dying the event winning all the time - April said all indignant.

- Stop messing around April. You cheered for me every race, you still said I'm a fuck up, and you're still egging me on, I'm no great champion at the Sarah Campbell level, maybe I am, but I haven't even made it to the big leagues yet, but I want to help Bern make a living for herself, this girl deserves to have her own money, a money to call her own, to win it all and have her own merit - Laura said beautifully.

After this whole conversation we talked about how the days went, how shitty it was at my family's residence, how horrible it was to be stuck, we also talked about the broom races, with April all excited, after all she was a runner's daughter, that was amazing, until we got to talking about witch families after all we were four from witch families with very similar traits to our ancestors, Laura and I were extremely similar.

- Seriously Bernadette, have you never stopped to wonder if you Cavendish clones yourselves? I visited your house in secret and everyone is just like Bern, except that everyone has blue eyes, she's the only one with green eyes - Rose said and I quickly explained.

- Magic, just like in your house, when we are still in the womb of our mothers the magic acts and makes us look like the traits of the family, this is more in traditional houses of witches with the presence of a witch stone, except that the Cavendish are a matriarch family, usually more girls are born and it was common for women to lie with a random man to have offspring, many of us really didn't like men and were forced to, it was even common among many witch families in the past, at least until the fertility stone reappeared, because from what I saw in old books in my family tree, from Beatrix in the 7th century to the 10th century they only had female couples, it was too common, but then it took a downturn and became rare in isolated cases in one generation or another, it was like a witch relating to another and having daughters per century and generally those who did not relate did not mention a husband, it was always in the code of the amazons, only women and men were only good for reproduction, nowadays it is different, It changed in the last century, when they started to really marry men and leave them at home, before it was only allowed if it was a Cavendish man with an outside witch, but a Cavendish with a man was not allowed in our house, lucky that I know about the existence of the fertility stone - I tell the girls that are stunned with all that history.

- Same thing with McLaren, from the 13th century until the end of the 16th century there were only couples of women, then there was a troubled period, with all that confusion around Isabel Cavendish and then the war with Williams, but from the 18th century until nowadays with the great Victoria McLaren the couples of women with men are isolated cases, it is in our blood to be like that, After all, we already had Caroline McLaren with Sarah Cavendish, although you are their descendants, and before that we had Isabel McLaren with Jack Cavendish who, by the way, conceived the first Diana Cavendish. We can repeat this tradition and conceive the fourth - Laura said laughing and I just laughed along with her.

POV Narrator:

Laura and Bernadette got excited and from there began to tell the whole family tree of their families, telling detail by detail what they remembered and still made a point of emphasizing the unions between Cavendish and McLaren, especially that of Jack and Elizabeth, which was the only romance between a man and a woman that they accepted calmly, since they were not very fond of this type of relationship.

See you, Luna Nova
