Miss. Cackle's Grandchild (A Worst Witch Fanfic)

Potion Trouble

The potion test is finally here. Me and my two friends studied hard. Miss. Hardbroom gave us the laughter potion.

"I never dream she'd give us the laughter potion," Mildred said.

I could tell she was nervous.

"I never seen her laugh," Maud said.

"I'm not gonna pass, I just know it!"

"Mildred, calm down."

"We need two quarts of lizard eyes."

We put the lizard eyes in our cauldron. Mildred looked in it.

"It's turning pink."

"Good."

"What color's the others?"

"Can't see."

"I think we need pond weed."

"That's right! Gathered after midnight. How much?"

"I'm not sure. Just throw in a handful."

They put a handful.

"Maybe two handfuls."

Two.

"Just throw in a lot."

"That's too much," I said.

Too late.

"You should be finished by now girls! A laughter potion should be made quickly, unless it's needed in an emergency. You may take a small sip of the potion to test it, not too much we don't want hysterics," Miss. Hardbroom said.

I was about to take a sip until...

"Ethel's is pink," Mildred said.

We looked.

"Ours is green!"

"Well we can't chicken out now."

We took a sip. The rest of the girls started laughing. Me and my friends turned around in our seats.

"I feel really weird," Maud said.

"So do I," Mildred said.

"Me too," I said.

Miss. Hardbroom looked at us.

"Cauldron number two."

She walked to us.

"You seem to may have made the wrong spell. Do you have any idea what you did wrong Mildred?"

"It was my fault Miss. Hardbroom," Maud said.

"No, it was my fault Miss. Hardbroom," Mildred said.

"I don't care who's fault it was! Sit still until you reappear!"

"Yes Miss. Hardbroom," we said.

"You Mildred Hubble will go straight to Miss. Cackle's office and explain exactly why you have failed your potion test so miserably."

Miss. Hardbroom clapped her hands.

"Class dismissed! And remember to turn your Hudson burners off."

As soon as she left, the class laughed louder than they were as they were leaving. As Ethel was leaving, I kicked her butt literally. She gave us a mean look and then walked away.

"Sorry Maud, sorry Hyacinth, I didn't mean to get you into trouble," Mildred said.

"That's alright, it wasn't your fault anyway."

Our heads started to become visible.

"I guess the pond weed messed everything up. That pond weed was supposed to be gathered at midnight, I gathered it after midnight."

"Mildred!" Me and Maud said.

"Sorry."

We were visible now.

"That was a remarkable spell."

"If only we knew how we did it! It would be one of those stories, you know, the ones we tell our grandchildren," Maud said.

Mildred smiled.

"If I live to have any."

We laughed.
