I soon left the dungeon and made my way up the winding staircase back up to the main floors of the academy. I quickly made my way to Miss. Cackle's office; knocking on her door before entering. As I enter, I see; Miss. Hardbroom, Miss. Cackle, and Mildred Hubble. All three were looking to me, I also quickly called Agatha's spirit to me and had her stand beside me the whole time I was in Ada's office.

I bound Agatha's spirit to me and started walking towards the armchairs, I went and sat down in one of the chairs and asked the spirit to remain quiet and stay where she was. I beckoned Mildred forward along with Hecate too. The 2 witches sat down in the remaining two armchairs and as soon as they were comfortable, I started talking...

[Conversation between Hecate, Mildred, and myself]

Me- Thank you for coming Mildred, Miss. Hardbroom. I have asked you here so that we could talk about some things that are important to know to keep my future intact. I am going to ask you to keep all questions to yourselves until I am finished, OK?

H.B- Understood.

M.H- OK

Me- OK, thanks. So first I know that both of you are wondering why Agatha's spirit is here? Well to answer that I need to talk about my past/future. I was born in 2032, in Manchester, England. I had an older brother and sister. My parents had been together for 53 years but due to some genetic anomaly, they looked at least 25 years old for all time. The first couple of years of my life were great, and I had everything that I could ever want and need. When I was about 11, I took the Witches Entrance Exam for Cackles and got in with some of the highest scores that hadn't been seen since Esmeralda and Ethel. My 1st year went great, it was when I started my second year that everything went wrong. My parents had been killed. My older siblings had been out when it happened, but when they had gotten home they found mother and father died on the kitchen floor. I was notified quickly and then things just continued going downhill from there. There was nothing that I could do about my parents, so I grieved. By the time I was 13 years old, I had gotten news that my older brother had been killed in the human world, in a hit-and-run accident. I was once again thrown into turmoil and grief. At 14 the last living relative aka my sister was killed, we still don't know how she was killed, but they found her body out in the woods that surrounded our property. I was going to leave Cackles, to go home, but then Agatha's spirit came to me and told me that they were killed because they wouldn't give up my location, and at the time I was still too young to understand why the people who murdered my family would want me, so I stayed at Cackle's Academy. 

M.H- I am sorry you had to go through that.

Me- So am I, but the pain only made me stronger and more ruthless, which came in handy about 2 years later, in my last year at Cackles. By that time the magical world was starting to fray and wars broke out all over the world. They didn't reach us for another year but we had gotten an early warning. As I said before to understand everything that I am about to tell you guys, I had to start with the past, it'll all make sense in a bit, I promise... Getting back to the story at hand now. I had graduated from Cackle's about 2 months before the fighting really started to break out in England. As I was thinking about college, I had a strange feeling that something bad was about to happen, so instead of going to college, I had intended to stay close to Cackle's Academy and help in whatever way I could. Over the summer, the council had decided to form a war faction, and all that were chosen had to attend every meeting, even though I was still 17 years old, so I was still pretty young, but due to what I had been through in my first 3 years at Cackle's, The Great Wizard decided to put me on the War Council with many adults. To this day, I still don't know why he did but I just chose to go through with what needed to happen. I started working on something, that would help us retrieve information from the enemy without having to send actual people over the line and into danger, the device that I made had a small camera attached to the bottom and was so small that it couldn't be seen even with a microscope. I had named this the Fly on the Wall, as it looked like a literal fly.
