Hiya! Just a bit of a Ramble Chapter. Iv put a bit of information about various Characters and where they came from in the worst Witch world!
Curlywitch14: I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of some of the characters entering!
Headingley72: I completely respect Bella for stepping away, And hold no resentment or anything for that. At the end of the day, She had to do what's best for her. But, I don't think Lydia Page was the correct person to take over for her. It's all very well wanting to make a character your own, but it's just a little off-putting to watch a character you thought you knew, be someone else in mannerisms and ways of talking. Thankfully, I liked the storyline enough for it to not affect my watching too much.
Nlutti1: I don't know how much I'm going to do.. It's probs gonna be double the length of Moving forward, if not longer still.
ENJOY!
Chapter Two: Moving In..
Hecate had only found out the night before that Pentangles would be partially Moving in. It was understandable, They did hire the rogue witch that destroyed the school. If they hadn't, she wouldn't be a witch in the first place. Unfortunately, What this meant was The teacher staying up far too late to clear space for students. They were looking at two-four to a room, depending on how big it was. They even found a couple of rooms that could fit six students in. They had decided to try, where they could, to keep their own students together. Although it will cause tension, Miss Cackle rather they go off on their own students, then on Pentangles. 'They should feel welcome!' Miss Cackle had said.
They had also taken in a few.. Teachers, If you could call some of them that. They in total had 8 spare Rooms in the teaching Quarters. So, 8 Teachers would be what they were taking on. No more, no less.
Miss Bat and Mr Rowan-Webb would be Housing a Mr Crabgrass. Wizard and Caretaker. Miss Cackle thought he would be a great addition, another Wizard to keep Me Rowan-Webb Company, and he can tend to the gardens. They hadn't had a caretaker in years. Hecate had found him dull and Moody. He had this constant look of wanting to attack something.
Miss Drill would be losing more than just her spare room, she would also be losing part of her job. With the addition of Miss Spellbinder. Miss Drill would be focusing on PE. While Miss Spellbinder would be focusing on Flying. For Hecate, this felt like a reasonable solution. Despite how much Miss Drill was complaining. It almost made her wish she had placed her on form duty only.
Miss Nightingale, the art teacher , who seemed far too nice for her own good, would be sharing an apartment with the librarian Mercy Whistlemoon. The quiet yet eccentric bookworm. Although they had art teachers recently, this was the first Librarian they had had in a while.
The other apartment would be going to Miss Gimlett, The Myths and Legends teacher, a new subject for Cackles. And Mrs Semolina, a Cooking teacher. She wouldn't be a teacher however. Ada had felt one new subject was more than enough. So Mrs Semolina would be helping out in the kitchens instead.
Miss Cackle and her spare room, had offered to host Pippa. But after you spend a summer with someone, the last thing you want is to shove them off with someone else. So, Hecate had interjected and offered her to stay in her apartment. Had she just outed herself to the staff of cackles? Yes she had. Ada was the only one who knew she had spent the summer with her. But Hecate was sure she thought it was just friends being friends and nothing more. But, when the only room you have is taken over by your child, it's not hard to guess where Pippa would be staying. Having new teachers in the wing, also ment telling them that Mildred was also there. The last thing they wanted was another Ethel incident. Thankfully Pippa had taken care of that for them. It was an incredibly busy day, so it had to be all hands on deck.
Miss Bat and Mr Rowan-Webb had tag teamed the teachers. Showing them around the schools, and placing them into their rooms. They were to answer any and all questions. Meanwhile, Miss Cackle had placed herself in charge of the Pentangles, armed with a few Fifth year students to help. Each one got given a personal map that told them where their room was, and other key areas. In groups, they would be going up to their rooms, where their new school uniform would be waiting.
Miss Drill was in charge of the First Year Cackle Students. (And first year pentangle students.). She was to delay them enough with a speech and warm up game before taking them up to their rooms. Each of the first years also received maps. An ingenious idea by Hecate herself, meaning less students will get lost. And if they do; there's no excuse.
Hecate was placed in charge of the rest of the school. She'd got them lined up in an orderly fashion, not a single student daring to move out of line. It's times like this Hecate had to scold herself for wanting to Smile. It would give them the wrong impression, when in reality, Hecate liked to see order and discipline, Even through means of fear, Though she did prefer Respect. But as a Deputy, She would take what she could.
"You may have noticed the extended number of Students" Hecate announced to the Cackles Students. "There will be an Assembly on it at Half Past Twelve! Do not be late. In the meantime, many of you will be assigned new rooms, the rest of you will be assigned people to your rooms. Do Follow the corresponding year Five to be resigned" She didn't wait for a response, instead signalling for the fifth years to take the Cackles students away.
She tried not to focus on Mildred. She felt she did focus on the girl too much. Mildred wasn't needed for this. But she'd most likely stick with her friends. Hecate had two reactions to this. On one hand, Enid impatiently, was a disrupted influence. But on the other hand, It was good that she had friends. Back in school, Hecate was rather a loner. She had Pippa, But Pippa had many friends other than her. Indigo Moon, but that ended badly, and they both had other lifes. She was glad that Mildred had that support, no matter how Destructive it might seem. What's a forest Fire between friends? Other than well.. A Forest Fire. Hecate couldn't help the overwhelming sense of duty she felt towards Mildred. She may not be her Daughter In the traditional sense, But in many ways, Mildred was her child. It's somewhat why she had felt so awkward about bringing Pippa into it all. She Loved Pippa. But if Mildred had, at any point, Said no. Then that was It. She'd respect Mildreds wishes. Thankfully, Mildred had loved Pippa. Almost as much as Hecate had.
Hecate hadnt had a family in a long while, And even when she had. She had never felt the same level of comfort as she had with Pippa and Mildred. Her Mother was withdrawn, even before the Illness took her. Her father had always favourted work over his own family, even when he retired. And Her brother, Isaac, He always wanted to prove himself. In the end, he went down in history as the powerful wizard who died fighting, and defeating, a rogue Wizard. The parallels were not lost on Hecate.
Now time for some Quick information! (But don't let that stop you from reviewing!)
Isaac: Isaac in Hebrew means "He Will Laugh". I wanted something that would Complement Joy. Although in none of the books or series we see a Sibling, We do see a Nephew in The New Worst Witch.
Mr Crabgrass: He's a Hedge Wizard and Caretaker to Pentangles According to the Magical Mystery Game. He's 1 of 3 Staff members we ever hear about from Pentangles. I imagine him like a Dumbledore - Filch Hybrid. Stereotypical yet Grumpy.
Mercy Whistlemoon - The Librarian from Pentangles in the Magical Mystery Game. 1 of 3 Staff members we know about at Pentangles. I don't know why, But i can imagin her as Miss Bat from the original Series..
Miss Spellbinder - The Cackles Flying teacher from the Movie. I have no idea why they decided to create a new teacher for the Movie, and not just use Miss Drill like everything else. But I really like her character Design.
Miss Nightingale - She's the art teacher at Cackles in A New Worst Witch season 1. I don't have much else to say.. Maybe Art will become like Harry potter's defence against the dark arts classes. Cursed Position.
Miss Gimlett - We never see her, But she does get mentioned as a second year form teacher. I've decided to put her in charge of Myths and Legends as we know they would have studied it.
Mrs Semolina - She was the temporary school cook in season 2 of the Worst Witch! I imagine her making a Mean Cake.
Now.. Review!
