Mildred and Hecate, Ethel and Harley

A Blast To Past Part 2

[2 weeks later]

It has now been two weeks since Harley landed in the past and she was worried about the consequences of her actions, she didn't want to change her future but Time Travel is a finicky thing and it's also very fragile. There are some events that if changed it doesn't have much effect on the future but then there are others, who if changed can have disastrous consequences on the future, Harley would have to be careful in what she does in the past as not to mess up her time and family. 

[Changing P.O.V's here from third to first]

[Let's do this the right way and let Harley tell her story]

 Miss. Cackle asked me to tell her more about herself and so I did, I told the woman that I was 17 years old and that I attended Cackle's Academy in the future. I also told her that in my time I was fighting for the lives of my friends and family... there was a war that was ransacking my home, the only one that I knew. I couldn't say anything else as saying too much could endanger the future. But I also said that when I came to Cackles, I had just lost my family and was alone in the world.

I continued to explain who I was and said what I could without endangering the future, what I did say was that since the war was going on, that most of the teachers were off fighting and that Cackle's Academy was left to its own devices. I explained that since the war started that more and more young witches and wizards were coming to the Witching Academies in the country and that the heads were overwhelmed. I could see that she was confused so I tried to clarify for her. I told her about the Academy and how we were getting along. She asked me many questions and I tried to answer what I could without revealing too much about the future.

[Conversation Between Harley and Ada]

Ada- What can you tell me about the girls in the future?

Me- Well I can say that most of them are great girls who are helping keep the young ones safe.

Ada- How about some of the teachers?

Me- That is something that I can say because it won't have much effect on my future. First and foremost, Miss. Hardbroom is still the Potion's Mistress at Cackle's, Dimity Drill is still the PE and Sports witch but I have help from a couple of my friends. However, I am not going to say a word about you because of the consequences that could hurt us. I am the unofficial head of Cackle's and its Potion Defense teacher along with Spell Defense. 

Ada- Who else is there?
Me- Well there's my friends Nadia and Titania; they are two of my best friends and the only family that I have left. The two help me with the girls and boys that come our way. Nadia teaches Emergency Medicine, while Titania teaches combat magic. Enid is a track star, Mildred Hubble is our Arts of Defense teacher and she helps those with the ability to bring their art to life control their gifts. Maud Spellbody helps me with many of my classes when I am called away for war meetings and tactical support. Then there's Ethel Hallow, who has a spot on the council. Cackle's Academy has become the center point for our allies during the war. It is the strongest point and has to be defended because if it falls so does every Magical Academy. I may have cast a spell on the Academy to make it so that it wouldn't fall as easily and so that the younger generation would always have a safe place.

Ada- Why were you making a time potion?
Me- Ah, I knew that would come up eventually. I was brewing the potion just in case we needed to get the younger witches and wizards to a safer time. I was making it to not only either go backward or forwards in time but also go diagonally or up and down through space and time. It was only to be used in a complete emergency and only by myself, Miss. Hardbroom, Mildred, Ethel, Miss. Drill, Nadia, or Titania. 

Ada- Ohhh, that makes sense.

[End of the conversation between Ada and I]

After talking to Miss. Cackle, I transferred myself back to my room and unceremoniously flopped on my bed thinking that I could catch a few hours of sleep, but if there was one thing that I wasn't able to do it was sleep because of course my mind would be racing and hoping against all odds that my family was safe and doing alright without me to help and/or lead them. Almost 2 hours later I was able to get some work done on the potion that would send me home but it wasn't much progress as I was interrupted by Miss. Hardbroom and Mildred Hubble who was running through the halls and passed my door. I stopped what I was doing and looked out of the crack of my doorway, what I saw scared me half-to-death.

To be continued once again in A Blast To The Past Part 3.
