Katherine ran through the halls. She stumbled into Xavier. "Hey Kath. Where are you going in a hurry?"

"I was..I don't know.. but hey I'm coming to ask you to join your team in the Poe Cup." Katherine smiled and Xavier smiled back.

"Sure you wanna help decorate the boat"

"Yeah" Katherine smiled and linked arms with Xavier and they decorated the boat.

"Wait. I don't have to wear costumes do I?" Katherine asked and Xavier smiled.

"Yeah you do."

Time skip

Katherine got into the costume. It was a clown or whatever. They were all ready to start. "I want to welcome you all to the Edgar Allan Poe Cup. This is one of Nevermore's proudest annual traditions, dating back 125 years. Each team must row across to Raven Island, pull a flag from Crackstone's Crypt, and hustle back without sinking or being sunk. First team to cross the finish line with their flag wins the cup and bragging rights for a year, as well as some special privileges. Let the Poe Cup begin!" Weems said and they left and started rowing.

"I swear if this boat sinks your going to be my float!" Katherine yelled to Xavier. And he just chuckled. One boat split in two.

They made it to the other side. "Come on go go! Run!" Katherine yelled and they ran and got the flag but when they got the the boat there were claw marks on it.

"Damn it" Katherine yelled and she chanted and the boat stopped sinking and halfway crossed it tipped. Katherine panicked trying to grab onto the boat. Her head popped above the water and she gasped before going back under.

Xavier grabbed Katherine and helped her to the surface. But she was still panicking swallowing some of the water. Xavier pulled her to shore and she coughed up the water. "Your okay..it's okay now." Xavier said softly as he rubbed her back.

"I'm never doing that again!" She gasped and looked at him and smiled.

"Hey you said you wanted to do it" Xavier chuckled as he helped her up. Then they got dried and back into there uniform. And stood outside Ophelia hall.

"Congratulations to Ophelia Hall! As a former resident, I will be happy to see the cup back on the mantle after all these years." Weems smiled as everyone cheered.

Katherine took Xavier's hand and dragged him to the music room. "What are you doing Kath?" Xavier asked

"You said you wanted music lessons right?"

"Yeah"

"Here we are. This place is kinda abandoned so me and chaos come here." Katherine smiled and pulled Xavier to the grand piano. "Here" when Katherine started playing Xavier tried to copy.

"Okay stop, clearly your not getting the piano either. Let's try drums" Katherine told him and  stood up. Getting some sort of flashback, vision. She wasn't sure what she saw. This is what she gets for messing up a simple spell.

"Kath, you okay? Oh and another question" Xavier asked and Katherine nodded in response. "Yeah what is it?"

"What did you mean earlier, before you stormed off?" Katherine tried to think of an answer to give him. A lie. But nothing.

"I'm umm...not sure" she spoke walking towards the drums, "okay Xavier sit down"

"Okay" Xavier sat and she handed him drum sticks and showed him how to play the drums. He started playing a bit better then the other instruments.

"Hey that's good" Katherine smiled and she looked out the window realising how dark it's gotten. "We should get going.."  Katherine said and walked out of the music room followed by Xavier.

"invisibilis" Katherine whispered as she followed Xavier to the Nightshade's little sanctum. Katherine used to be in the nightshades before her "little incident".

Wednesday was there. Tide to a chair."Who dares breach our inner sanctum?" Katherine heard Bianca say under her blue robes and mask.

"You can take the mask off, Bianca." Wednesdaysaid and everyone took their masks of after Bianca, "Wait, I preferred you with it on."  Katherine turned around and tried finding another spell book. Well her mothers spell book to be specific.

"How did you get down here?"

"Rowan showed me. Left pocket. I tracked the watermark to the Poe statue. Then I solved the riddle."

"Wait, there's a riddle? I thought we just snapped twice."

"Well, aren't you the brightest in the bunch?"

"The Nightshades are an elite social club. Emphasis on elite. We have roof parties, campouts, the occasional midnight skinny-dip. And Yoko's an amateur mixologist. She makes a killer virgin mojito. It can get pretty wild."

"Wow. Do you guys even have a bedtime? Last I heard, the Nightshades had been disbanded."

"Yeah, the group kind of lost its charter 30 years ago after some normie kid died."

"But we have a lot of wealthy alumni, so Weems looks the other way as long as nobody makes any waves."

"Someone like Rowan?"

"Oh don't forget Katherine" she turned around when she heard my name knocking some books of the shelf. "What was that?"

"Wait. We booted that loser and psycho last semester. Question is, what are we gonna do with her? So forget the books" Katherine heard Bianca say, "Only members are allowed in this library."

"I say we invite her to pledge." She heard Xavier suggest.

"What?"

"What?!" Katherine said in shock then she lost her concentration of the spell and became visible again.

"Katherine?" Xavier said a bit confused and then Katherine turned around. "Heey"

"What we're you doing?"

"I was...ummm..." Katherine didn't know what to tell him.

"Untie her. We can deal with Katherine after" Bianca commanded almost but Wednesday just stood up. 

"I freed myself five minutes ago." Wednesday said and walked off, "It's amateurs like you who give kidnapping a bad name." Then all the attention was on Katherine.

"Are you going to tell me Kath?" Katherine was going to say something to answer Xavier's question but she was interrupted. "Isn't it obvious she was stealing again"

"I was looking for a book. My mothers spell book." Katherine told then "you guys are keeping it somewhere I know it. And if anything Bianca it's not technically stealing if the items already belong to you"

Katherine sighed and walked out. Going back to her door and sighed falling onto her bed.
