The French Teacher ( Hecate Hardbroom X OC)

The Raven

Regina's POV

We finish our ice cream and make our way up to my room. When we get there Morgana is already lead down on the bed, why am I not surprised? When we go and sit down on my sofa we hear a meow and quiet footsteps, suddenly a furry head appears next to mine. I just pet her as she sits on the back of the sofa, she purrs and I giggle.

"I know that we share a familiar but I would like for her to at least look at me." "does she need to? You know she loves you." "I'm starting to have second thoughts." I just laughed before Morgana jumped down into Hecate's lap. "see? She does love you." Hecate rolled her eyes before smiling at Morgana as she led in her lap purring. Hecate reached out to pet her but Morgana hissed and narrowed her eyes before laying her head back down and closing her eyes.

"yes Raven, she clearly loves me." I love it when she's sarcastic. "hey, you called me raven." "I see that you are not deaf." "all right, but I've got to come up with a name for you." "this is going to be good. All right, tell me what you've got." I thought for a moment. "Tall Morgana?" Hecate looked like she was about to laugh but she held it in. "no? All right then." I thought again.

"the other raven?" She looked like she was about to burst. "obviously a no, I've got one more." I took a breath before speaking to calm myself down a little before speaking. "my softest little kitten?" She laughed! I got Hecate Hardbroom to laugh! "I don't I've ever been called soft before." "you've also never had a girlfriend who can speak French." "I suppose you're right, my dear." I smile before cuddling into her side.

We spent the evening relaxing with tea, biscuits, blankets and a very cuddly Morgana. She was only cuddly towards me of course, but she did enjoy when Hecate pet her that one time.

I yawned as the clock started reaching eleven.

"Time for bed, my dear? We have got a big day ahead of us tomorrow." "I honestly almost forgot about that." "hey, if you say that you're a mind witch then you might attract attention." "I'd rather not." "you're like me, huh? Rather stay in the corner while silently judging everyone in the room." "silently?" "yes, though I guess you do put thoughts and feelings out into the open." "really?" "yeah, we wouldn't be together otherwise."

I laughed quietly before pulling the blanket tighter around me. "how did we end up together? I honestly can't remember." "we kissed, Hecate." "yeah, but why did you kiss me back? You had never shown interest in me before so why did you start then?" "I was taught to never, ever show emotions." "let me guess, headmistress?" "yep."

She leant her head on my shoulder.

"I was taught the same, but when I fell asleep while we were talking that night." oh shit! What is she going to say to me!? "when I woke up and saw your face, I felt like I had suddenly gotten closer to you and felt more comfortable around you. It was like that in my dream I had somehow learnt that you liked me, so I took my chance and kissed you." my word, alot of words came out of her mouth then!

"well then, that explains why you suddenly transferred away, you felt like you knew too much about me and were scared that I would be angry at you because of how dark my past is. I'm not angry, Hecate." "how could you tell?" "aura." "forgot about that." "I only use the ability if people are struggling with showing or voicing their emotions, and to find my mother like you saw earlier. She likes to wonder and because of her vision I need to keep an eye on her."

"how did you keep in contact with her?" "I could visit for a week during summer and I could mirror, but those were always monitored. She visited once, that was when I first started teaching." "how were you qualified!?" "I didn't need to be, you know how lessons are done at Wormwoods. I was though, in my last year the headmistress realised she needed something to keep me there as she knew how powerful I actually was."
