C45 Bitchcraft

I woke up in a sweat, my surroundings unclear. An alarm was buzzing annoyingly and the time read six A.M. '' Rachel get your ass in gear and get ready for school! ''I was confused at first, Rachel?.. The memories buzzed through my head of a castle and a man, my dream. Something didn't feel right here. I got up and switched the light and looked in the mirror. I looked different, but how? My eyes were blue and my hair was shoulder-length. ''Why am I having this feeling?..'' This pit of the stomach-wrenching feeling that something was wrong. I changed out of my pjs and into my outfit for school. I picked up my backpack and read Rachel Blair on the folder but yet it didn't feel right either. I left my room and went to brush my teeth, the more I ventured the more I remembered. I hazily brushed my hair out and put it into a ponytail. I pulled my phone from my backpack and went to the messages, I had some from Stephan Summers. My chemistry teacher. My face flushed as I remembered my secret romance. I looked at the pictures on the walls and there was a woman & a man with me. A great smell was coming from the kitchen, I sat down at the table with someone else who was reading a newspaper. ''Hey kiddo, sleep well?'' I nodded gently. ''Still feel like I'm dreaming.'' The man had brown hair and blue eyes. The woman came from the kitchen with a plate of food, bacon, eggs, and toast. ''I got a call from your principal yesterday, he's very proud of you. Says you have the potential to be valedictorian among some other competition.'' I somehow got lost in thought remembering my childhood, like in a flash everything came back. Gemma and Damion Blair, my parents...I ate some breakfast and then said my goodbyes as I headed to the school bus. ''Fight this..'' A voice faintly whispered and I really felt like I was going crazy now. ''Ray...'' It whispered. ''Lalalala!'' I put my fingers in my ears and moved on as I joined the long line of students waiting for the school bus to show up. I soon boarded the bus when it finally came and then off to school I went. I headed to my locker first, then off to the first period which happened to be Art. My next period was English. Then Math, lunch would roll around and then Chemistry, my heart skipped a beat as my face heated. I turned my phone on silent and went through the photo gallery, I had pictures with this man and my best friend and some with my parents. ''Wake up!'' The voice yelled and I about toppled over in the hallway, my heart pounded as I looked around. I put my phone in my locker and hurridly went to class, hoping it would go away. By the time I got to Chemistry, I was feeling even more drained, sluggish, and slow. It took mental control to not shut down at this point. ''Hey, heffar. You never called me last night about your date.'' I smiled and rolled my eyes at my best friend. ''Wendy, I told you already I had to cancel, my mom and dad would have both busted a blood vessel if I was caught sneaking out. Plus they're rules... '' No boys. '' I just can't win with them.'' She sighed. ''Yeah, but you have gotten out before.'' Just then the teacher walked in, his usual black suit with a white shirt and never a tie. His tired and masked face already forming a sigh before his lips could keep up. ''Let's get this over with...'' He bitterly said. ''Take out your books and begin copying notes from your chapter books pages 35-55.'' The class groaned and Mr. Summers just rolled his eyes, sitting down at his desk, and drinking his coffee which I'm pretty sure was spiked. This was the guy I was with? Memories flashed from our time in the summer, carefree, and how much happier he was. He once told me I was his happy place. Ever since his divorce from his ex-wife, he had this dark cloud over him but I was his lithium. He locked eyes with me and his body relaxed a bit from its usual stiff form. My best friend texted me from behind her textbook. ''So, should we try some witchcraft ideas tonight?'' I grimanced and texted back. ''No, I can't. Both parents will be home again tonight.'' She sent a frownie emoji. Stephan turned to grade some papers and work on his computer, then it happened. Drake and Paprika emerged from whatever hell they had crawled out of as they leaned against mine and Wendy's desks. ''So, how are the little bitches this fine morning.'' I looked at Wendy and she looked back at me. ''Well you know we were planning on ruining the whole school's day but I think you beat that to us.'' Our brows furrowed and we smiled as they scowled. '' No more games, meet us in the woods tonight behind the school and we'll get down to business once and for all.'' Drake said. ''Seriously? Like we'd ever meet you there, like serial killer much? Plus that creepy janitor hangs out in the woods. Fudge gives me the creeps...'' Paprika harshly toned down her voice. ''Cafeteria. Lunchtime. Girl against girl.'' I smirked. ''So Drake vs me? Got it.'' She hissed and they walked back to their friend group who lived on tormenting people. Just last week they had broken into some poor kid's locker and planted all kinds of shit that got him expelled and what's worse, his parents shipped him off to some boarding school in the middle of nowhere. Another time, Paprika had cornered some poor girl in the girl's restroom, beating her down badly with help from her goons.''Blair, detention tonight.'' I stood up. ''For what?'' I knew what he was doing and I had to play along. ''Because I said, that's why. I saw you on your phone, you're not slick.'' I rolled my eyes and sat back down, eyeing the millions of other students on their phones but whatever works, right? Anything for five minutes together.

''Raylona!'' It was louder than before... Where did I know that name?' After class was over I had an overwhelming feeling, my nerves were suddenly on edge and my body screamed at me to watch out. I nearly got hit by a flying fist, my eyes traveled up the arm of the owner of this fist, Paprika. ''What the hell do you think you're doing??'' She smirked. Taking you down once and for all.'' She swung at me again but missed once more and I clocked her hard in the jaw. ''That's it, fight it!'' The voice called. ''S..Severus?!'' I felt my mind swimming while trying to block the bitch.

She came at me again, grabbing my hair from behind but I headbutted her with the back of my head and heard the students ooo at the fight. ''I'm so tired of you picking on me, what the hell did you do to me? Trap me in my mind?!'' Her eyes narrowed. ''You are a witch, a nasty trashy bitch.'' I flipped her off and she came running at me. I watched her body and she tried to kick me, I grabbed her leg and twisted it, watching as she fell to the ground. ''Let me out of this Pansy!'' She growled. ''The fuck are you talking about?!'' She glitched and I realized I really was in my mind, I just needed to let go. She came at me again but I kept walking forward, she phased through me. ''None of this is real.'' I headed straight for the door of the school. ''It's time to wake up.'' The voice called. I made the walk to my parent's house, crawling into my bed. ''I hope this works...'' I closed my eyes and drifted off. I woke up soon to a bunch of people staring at me, Severus included. ''Pansy?'' She blinked at me, her eyes refilling with hate. She had surprised me in the hall, using a spell of her own creation. I stood up wobbly and clocked her right in front of everyone.

''Black!'' I rolled my eyes before turning around to him. ''Yeah yeah, I know. Detention, but she deserved it. That... Was hell. I'm going to the hospital wing.'' Snape turned to everyone. ''Get to class, all of you.'' They all scattered, as he helped Pansy up and took her to the hospital wing as well. ''You wanna tell me why I found you unconscious in the hall?'' He crossed his arms, looking down at me. ''I was walking to class when she came out of nowhere, she used some spell I've never heard of before so I am assuming it was her own creation. I was locked inside my head and I didn't even know it til the end. I was a muggle, you were a muggle. Mr. Stephan Summers. She deserved what she got and I'm not sorry for it, especially because of this killer headache I have added with my knuckles killing me... I really threw my weight into that.'' He smirked. '' Yeah, it was kinda...Hot.'' He winked and went to talk to Pansy, I knew nothing would happen to her considering there was no evidence but damn did that feel good, except for the after pain... I shook my head and laid down on the hospital bed.
