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

Anything Can Happen On Halloween

It was finally night time, which means The Grand Wizard will be with us. We were we had to wait for him for some reason. Me and my classmates were waiting patiently for him.

"He's here!" I heard a witch say.

I looked up and saw him, he was flying without a broom. He was gliding towards us smiling. He landed in front of us.

He sang for us about Halloween. Then, it was time for our performance. The Grand Wizard was next to our teachers and Grandma. We were on our brooms and we did our special thing. It was going smoothly until Mildred started to have problems with her broom. She was going to lose control of her broom and fall. Then, it happened, she was falling. I flew by under her, I was going to save her and catch her fall so she wouldn't get hurt. We crashed together and we landed...just a couple inches in front of The Grand Wizard. She helped me up.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't know how what happened," Mildred said.

"I was a fool to trust you. You abominable child, Mildred. Get out of my sight," Miss. Hardbroom said.

"I know what you're thinking."

"You are to return to school at once. Go to bed without supper and I'll see you at my office tomorrow at noon. Please, go."

Mildred was going to leave.

"Mildred didn't mean to lose control."

"I don't care Hyacinth. Why did you have to go along with her?"

"I wasn't! I flew under her to break her fall! I saved her, you know if it weren't for me, she would've been injured! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to comfort my best friend."

I left. Me and Mildred went to our room. Mildred was crying.

"Mildred, it wasn't your fault."

"Yes it was, now everybody hates me! This night was supposed to be very special, I embarrassed myself in front of The Grand Wizard."

I sighed.

"I want to comfort you, by telling you a story."

Mildred got in her bed.

"Once upon a time, there was a little girl and her parents and they lived in a lovely house. They were the perfect family, like the Brady Bunch or the Partridge Family. Things were going so well until the mother fell ill. She died within a certain time. After a while, the father remarried, the step mother turned out to be an evil woman. She treated the little girl horrid, calling her bad names and what not while the father was out, but when the father returns, the step mother acted as if nothing have happened. The little girl tried to explain to her father about the step mother. He chose not to believe her! He believes she's an angel but not according to the little girl. The little girl started to misbehave in school and at home, she used to be a well behaved girl! One day, the little girl came home to some news, she was going to a special school. They argued and argued, she didn't want to go, he was going to force her to go. The step mother walked in on them, she agreed with him. Then, all three were arguing. So, the little girl is now at one of the finest schools in the world...here. Mildred, you know what I'm trying to tell you?"

"The little girl is you, isn't it."

"Yes. Ethel was right, he did choose my step mother over me. Can I tell you something else Mildred?"

"Yes."

"I'm actually liking it here, it's not so bad thanks to you and Maud."

We smiled. We noticed our cats jump on the bed. 

"I have an idea Mildred, let's practice flying tomorrow morning first thing."

She nodded.

We snuggled with our cats as we were falling asleep.
