Happy 2023 and welcome back!

"Is this comfortable enough?" Eda asked as Lilith lay on the couch.

"For the last time, it's okay, I'll get used to it," Lilith stated wearing a brown waistcoat over her suit while drinking a juice box of apple blood. "So what about the human and her child?"

Eda thought for a bit. "Something about a meeting at Hexside as well as other schools over the hotel incident."

"Well, it should be addressed after what happened to... Do you have any more apple blood?" Lilith asked as Eda shrugged. "Bar it is then."


At the school, several demons and witches were crowded in the gym, Camila and Luz were in the very back as several teachers and principal Bump walked in front of a stage as Bump took the microphone.

"Is this thing on?" He asked tapping the mic which let out loud feedback. "Sorry, now I'm sure a few of our students have unfortunately witnessed some horrific things, those being who happened to be where the tragedy was, but we are doing everything to help them cope with this, and other news we may have lost one of the teachers who happened to go there but luckily we managed to get a replacement for them, you'll meet them later but that's all I have to say, thank you. Bump then left as well as the teachers while the crowd left the gym as school began to start.

Luz was silent during most classes and so were most of the teachers, until she went to potions and saw a line of students waiting outside.

"What's going on?" She asked.

"Apparently the new teacher doesn't know about schedules!" Boscha shouted and was about to open the door when she heard the sound of a struggle followed by a voice. "NO!, Stop it, Stop it, and get back in the closet!" After a few seconds, the door opened showing the teacher who had green stains on his clothing and face which he wiped off with a towel as he spoke.

"Ok, all of you inside and ignore the green stuff around and don't touch it unless you want to have painful exploding organs." He stated before writing his name on a chalkboard that read Dr. Krieger as he pulled out a large textbook and began flipping the page. "So... what were you kids studying?" No-one answered. "This is going to take a while."


At the local bar, Camila, Lilith, and Eda were sitting at the bar table holding drinks.

"Here's to... not dying a very painful death?" Eda questioned the toast but the rest simply celebrated. "Hey, Gill another round for us!" The bartender who was a slightly thin witch with blonde hair and a pencil-thin mustache looked at Eda with a glare.

"For the last time, it's Ray and who am I kidding you'll pass out and forget my name after a long hangover." He said pouring the women's drinks and shaking them. "I don't get paid enough for this."

Lilith began to chug her drink before letting out a burp and shouting. "Another shot! With pepper and hot spice!"

"Sis, take it down a notch," Eda said as Lilith snatched her drink and drank it.

"Has she ever been drunk?" Camila questioned lifting her drink high enough so Lilith couldn't reach it Eda shrugged her shoulders as Lilith snatched a bottle and chugged the whole thing.

"Do I look like my sister to you!?" Lilith blurted out. "I've never been drunk ever! HIC!" She began to blurt random words till she passed out.

Ray looked at them. "I think it's time for you folks to take your friend somewhere else." He claimed as Eda and Camila took Lilith by the arms and carried her out of the bar. Ray watched them leave and took out a compact mirror as it opened and spoke.

"Well, nothing out of the ordinary except for a newcomer to the bar. That scam lawyer from the commercials looks like Graye if he lost his fame that smooth, shiny..."

"Gillette!" A voice shouted from the mirror which nearly caused him to drop it.

"What? Can't I speak out about my personal thought?" Ray complained before speaking. "Well other than that there's nothing to worry about, so about lunch?"

"For titan's sake... I don't know! Just find something 'cause the coven head is going to have my head for this if you don't find something I swear I'll take my sword and jam it in your..."

Ray simply began shaking some ice with a machine muffling the threat before stopping.

"cut open your organs open them and then stuff them with..."

He quickly muffed the threat before listening to the call again.

"before ending it with throwing your corpse in a bonfire!" The call then ended as Ray threw the mirror in a blender and turned it on.

"Well dukes... wait that was my only... double dukes..." Ray muttered to himself before going to serve another patron before another thought came to mind. "And I forgot to tell them to pay and give a tip... damn it!"


"And then you just add five ounces of the red and... there!" Krieger then backed away from the cauldron as it bubbled before foaming out a purple liquid. "That is how you make, acid!"

"ACID!" A student cried out as Boscha stood on top of her desk as did the rest of the class as their cauldrons melted into sludge.

"It shouldn't be that strong." Krieger then looked at the ingredients. "Ten jars of fire honey, a dash of red sauce, a pinch of boiling water at 100 degrees... no it's correct." He stated as everyone's desks were slowly dissolving. "Stay calm and I'll be back with help after I change my paperwork!" Krieger then ran out of the classroom leaving everyone literally hanging from the ceiling by the time a few teachers arrived to clean the mess.

After the mess, and an explanation about it being a 'rookie' mistake Kriger had been given a week of suspension from work as the potions class was stopped till a substitute could be found. Luz found him in the hallway with a large trash bag.

"You need help, sir? She asked him.

"NO! Uh... I have it all under control, but if you could get me my suitcase from the classroom and If you hear something in the closet don't open it." Krieger stated as Luz took the case and brought it back only to slip and fall causing several papers to fly in the air. Krieger managed to grab them as Luz took hold of one and looked at the paper which displayed a diagram of a witch with several ingredients listed on it and its use.

"Scales for skin and wood for the body..." She was cut short as Kriger took the paper from her before ripping it into pieces.

"Sorry, that's my personal project... how about you forget this happened?" He then handed Luz a small bag of snails and left the building tossing the bag into the trash.

Luz was a bit stunned by the ordeal. "What a weird person to be a teacher." She thought to herself before leaving.


At the Owl House, Lilith grounded as Camila handed her a cup of coffee she had brought to help the witch become sober. "Now you might experience a headache and other effects but it'll be gone in a day or two."

Lilith chuckled. "Just what I need for the rest of the day."

Eda chimed in. "Hey, you get used to it."

The door then opened as Luz walked in. "We need to clean Hooty before he brings mud into the house and we know how that goes." Eda and Camila shivered in fright.

"So how was the new teacher? They fit my style?" Eda joked.

"Well, I think they'd fit you a bit too much..." Luz stated.

Lilith laughed. "How too much can a man be?"


At night a noise of struggling came from the classroom as Krieger was knocked into a wall by something squealing giving him a cut on his forehead.

"That'll do pig..." He stated before tackling his creation in a choke hold and breaking its neck. "That'll do." Later he began chopping the body into pieces and dumping it into a pot of acid and draining said acid down the drain.
