The Baba Yaga Series: The Dead Witch

5. Thanks Stan Lee and Hecate

"Welp...didn't expect that!" I exclaimed. 'I'm not even surprised anymore, thanks Stan Lee and Hecate!' Jareth wondered what I meant by that statement, so I handed over the parchment. I watched his face go from curious, to pride, and finally to , 'you guessed it!' Shock. He looked up at my nonchalant expression and started to laugh. "Hahaha, thank Hecate we're friends! I'd hate to be your enemy." We both smiled devilishly.

"Oh! We were having such fun, I almost forgot to give you this." He reached into a drawer in his desk and pulled out a letter. 'Is this what I think it is?' I look at the envelope in awe, written in green ink:

Ms. A. Baba Yaga

The Only bedroom

The Walking House
of Baba Yaga

Excitedly opening the letter, it reads:

HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY

HEADMASTER: Ablus Dumbledore. ( Order of Merlin, first class, Grand Sorc. Chief Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)

Dear Ms. Baba Yaga, We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July.

Yours sincerely
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress

"H-how? When did-" "They sent it quite early this morning, though the owl thought it best to deliver it here first." He says with that mischievous smile of his. I was smiling so hard my baby cheeks were hurting.

"There's two more things, I forgot to mention. Baba left you an inheritance because she knew you'd find yourself here with me. It was added to your vault when you officially signed the contracts in your blood. That was binding your blood and magic to her old vaults, making you one of the Richest Witches in our world." He tells me nonchalantly. I am slightly baffled at this turn of events, 'fucking plot convenience....thank you! Also thank you Granny Baba!' "And what's the other thing?" I ask a bit cautiously. "Well seeing as you are currently an 11 year old girl, alone in England. People or teachers will start asking questions. Plus you'll now need a "parent or guardian" to deal with those matters. So I'm offering to be your Legal Guardian, of course I won't actually be acting as one, just on paper and to sign things for your schooling. And not to worry, I want nothing from your vaults. This will just be a small favor for my friend."

' Crap, can't believe I didn't think of that.' "Alright I except." And we shake on it and another bout of paperwork came and went.

"Wait... does this make me a princess?" I asked with a shit eating grin as Jareth gave an amused huff.

"Technically yes, but we should keep this between us and my Goblins...Princess. Though it would be completely official and gain that title if I were to ever Blood adopt you." That gives me another thing to think about and maybe in the future when we know eachother better than it could happen. I never knew my father; I don't even have a picture....

With everything in order I get up to leave when I had a funny thought to ask, with a mischievous glint in my eyes, "hey Jareth?" "Yes? Shorty?" "Ha ha very funny, but I wanted to ask... How's Sarah and Toby doing?" To say he was shocked was an understatement. He sputtered, like a that computer ERROR 101. "HOW DO YOU KNOW!" 'I think I broke him.' "Calm down! He he, in my old world you are very famous, well your "character" and the actor that played you was famous. Anyways someone wrote a book that turned into a movie about Sarah's adventure in the Labyrinth to save her baby brother, Toby, from you. To be honest, you deserved way better than someone who wouldn't stay with you! Plus she was kinda too self entitled. That's just my opinion anyway.
Anywho, see ya later!"

Leaving him in the doorway, I didn't see his look of disbelief turn into a fond smile.

Leaving the bank and thanking the Goblins, I make my way through Diagon Alley. Reading my list, I decided the first thing I would get will be my wand. I'll get it from KnockTurn Alley because the wand shop there makes them without the trace. I also have a feeling I should visit Olivanders after my shopping.

Trying to be as inconspicuous as possible, I make my way down the dark and shadey alley 'someone needs to get a fucking street cleaner up in here.' I thought as I saw someone walk through literal shit. Ew. Anywho, with my compass in hand, I easily find the right shop. MADAM CALYPSO'S WANDS est 1666.

Entering the dimly lit shop, I ring the desk bell and a witch who kinda resembles Tia Dalma, emerged from a dark back room. "What would a child be doing in my shopp?" "This "child" needs an untraceable wand, with Silver Steel embedded into it. I would also need wand holsters for my Left and Right arms." I demand with a bit of an attitude and my best emotionless face. "Okay, that will be 20 Galleons." I hand over the money. She goes to the back room and comes back with boxes of different materials in them. "Put your hands over de items, and push out your magic. Your magic shall choose de matters for your wand." I do as she said and different materials start to float up as she caught them in the air. "Let us see...for de core, a Thestral Tail Hair and Pheonix Tail Feather. Representing Life and Death, both powerful in their right. Now for wood...oh my. I didn't know I had this. Black Elder Wood! This is de most powerful wand I have made yet. You better treat dis wand wit care, girly!" She gives me a warning glare that I just smile at, with a huff she shows me the last item," And now, de Silver Steel. I have an idea for dis. Your wand will be done on de hour. You can choose your Wand Holsters, when done you leave them on de counter. You may stay or leave, just come in an hour." She leaves to the back room, and I ended up choosing a black holster, they had Notice Me Not runes engraved in silver into them. I put them on the counter and leave the shop.

'Might as well poke around Borgin and Burkes while I wait.'
Entering the dusty and dim shop, I poke around for anything interesting. I see the Hand of Glory, that damn Vanishing Cabinet, and many other trinkets. Until my eyes land on a very large and old book. Blue leather bound with a large, oval shaped blue saffire gem; sat in the center of an engraving of the Triple Moon symbol of Hecate. Locked with a silver latch. 'A personal Grimoire!' I take the grimoire off the shelf and bring it up front. That creepy old dude came from the back and rung me up. I could feel his perverted eyes roam my child body, 'stay calm, it's only the first day, do not kill him...yet.' I quickly walk outta there before I gut him from his balls to his heart...breath bitch, breath. Calming down I realized it's almost been an hour so I make my way back to get my wand.

Entering the wand shop. The witch was waiting with my wand and my holsters. To say I was amazed was an understatement. "It's 14", Thestral and Pheonix, Black Elder Wood. Wrapped in Silver Steel. Go on, try it." I do so, and a warm breeze, accompanied by Red, Green, Silver, and Gold sparks shoot out of the end of it. 'Wicked cool.' With that, I attached the wand holsters to my arms and I slip the wand into my Left one. Thanking the older Witch with a few extra Galleons, I leave the dark alley.
