What If 17

(Author's note: I got the Enchantress's name form IMDB's description of the live action Beauty and the Beast coming out in 2016 or 17. The story of Agathe also comes from the Beauty and the Beast animated movie as well as the Enchanted Christmas, they just didn't name her that I remember)

Magic lessons

Mal and Evie started their first Magic class the second week after the coronation. The girls walked quietly and nervously into Fairy Godmother's office at 6pm that Wednesday. No one was around. "Good Evening girls. Please come in. Close the door." Mal shut the door. "I want to welcome you. And first start off by saying, I will do what I can to help you Evie, but witch magic is different from fairy magic."
"I understand that. My mother made me memorize all her spells, I have never tried any of them, at home we had no magic, and here, well I don't have access to some of the ingredients, I have to say some of them are out there."
"I see. Ok so your first homework assignment will be to write out some of the spells. I will see what I can do for ingredients." Fairy Godmother smiled. "For now, I want you to practice with the mirror. I want you to see if you can find certain things, I have a list for you." She handed Evie a list. "Just write down where these things are. Some are just everyday items, others are actually lost artifacts that belong to different nobles, lost over time."
"Oh, ok. I was worried I wouldn't be able to do anything useful, this is nice." She looked over the list.

"Good, good. Mal, we are going to work on a little spell here, that will transform things. Have you ever tried that?"
"Well, yes, the hair spell."
"That's right so that went well, then. What else have you done?"

"I have opened a locked door, activated my mother's spinning wheel, a love spell and anti-love spell, and the sleep spray, and I have a privacy spell for conversations. Oh and defended the four of us against my mother, and grabbed your wand from her."

"Ok, then we will work on transformations some more. I want you to change this fake flower into a real one." Mal moved to pull out the spell book. "No. You have the power in you to produce your own spells. You did it against your mother. Spells don't need to rhyme either, just say what you desire to happen.

"I…I'll try. Imitation flower that I hold, become real once more." Mal watched, and nothing happened. "What went wrong?"
"Oh, you said once more, and this flower was never real."
"I…I get it. Flower in my hand go from cloth to real." And the flower in her hand became real. Mal was thrilled.

"You just need to know your subject and it will happen. Very good. Now a little harder. This is a feather from a peacock. See if you can make it turn into a peacock."
"feather from a peacock, return to your bird." It just disappeared. Mal, sighed, than spotted another feather. She picked it up and tried again. "Feather from a peacock, become the bird you belong to." And with that the feather floated into the air and a peacock appeared. Mal was super please. "Oh I have never seen a peacock before, what lovely colors. Now what will we do with it?"
"Oh she will be fine if we let her free after our class. Here are a few other things to try, while I check on Evie."

Evie had made it half way through her list, when she came across a name. She was about to skip it when Fairy Godmother came over. "Who is this?" Evie asked, "and why do I need to find her?"
"Agathe is the enchantress that cursed King Adam." That caught Mal's attention.

"And why would we need to find her?" Mal and Evie both ask together?
"Come sit girls, Agathe isn't bad, that's why she was never sent to the Isle. When Adam was much younger he was a spoiled, selfish young prince. He was a demanding, awful child. Agathe came to the castle on Christmas Eve and asked for shelter from the storm in exchange for a single red rose. HE turned her away. Agathe warned Adam, that looks can be deceiving and that he shouldn't assume. But he turned her away a second time. She transformed into a beautiful enchantress and placed a spell on Adam and his staff. I believe you know the rest."
"Well yes, but she…oh I see, she wasn't bad really, she was teaching Adam a lesson."

" She is a witch Evie dear, I am hoping she can help us."
"I am game." Evie said.

"Does Adam know we are looking for her?"
"I have talked to Adam and he holds no ill will against her. She brought him Belle so he is fine with it, in fact he would like to speak to her and thank her for the lesson she taught him."
Mal sighed, and hoped she was right. Mal returned to her transformations and Evie held up the mirror. "Mirror Mirror that I hold, please show me where Agathe can be found." The mirror fogged over, and nothing. Evie looked at Fairy Godmother. "I was afraid of that, she may not want to be found. I feel she may think she will be shipped off to the Isle."

"Mirror, mirror if you can please let Agathe know we only want her help and no harm will come." The mirror glowed bright, then nothing. "Oh well I will try later."
"I want you to make sure you keep that hidden in your room Evie. People know you have it, and they will try and take it."

"I have a hiding place already. A loose floor board under my bed."
"Safe. Finish the list." She looked at the clock it was already 800. "Mal how are you doing?"
She turned to see Mal had changed a plastic egg into a real one, a empty water jug was now filled, and a stuffed duck was now real. "Excellent. Ok it's past 8:00 and you have classes tomorrow. Evie, finish the list up. Mal I want you to come up with a transformation spell that can transform your appearance."
"Wow, ok."

The girls brought the two animals, Mal had transformed out to the court yard, and went back to the dorms. After entering their room, Evie tried again to find Agathe. Mal tried to transform a picture she had drawn of a cat into a real cat. Nothing.

"Maybe, because it's paper?" Evie suggested.

"Good point E. The other stuff I had earlier, were actual objects. How about you?"
"Nope, still fog."
"Should be interesting." Mal stated. Evie nodded. "Ok, well I still have a few more sketches for Carlos."
"And I have homework."

The girls finished their work and headed off to bed.
