Ambrose sat in Sabrina's window seat, as I sat on her bed watching her pack last minute. "Aren't you even a little excited?" Ambrose asked us and I sighed as Sabrina answered, "I'm stressed, Ambrose. Starting a new school is stressful. Not to mention I'm lying to Harvey and Roz and Susie." I nodded and then added, "And I don't see why we have to be at the academy for three whole nights.""It's your induction. Cousins, you are on the precipice of a stupendous new adventure at the Academy of Unseen Arts.
You will meet interesting witches and warlocks from all over the world. Some of them, a great many of them, will be hot." Ambrose said and winked making me chuckle."Ambrose, I'm not going to the academy to hook up with hot warlocks. I am going to the academy to learn how to defeat the Dark Lord. I'm going to learn how to conjure him, bind him, banish him. That's my only agenda." Sabrina said but I shrugged, "More cute boys for me." I sang and Ambrose fist bumped me.

"Hat or no hat?" I asked Sabrina who gave me a look and hmmed. "No hat." She said and I nodded taking it off fluffing my hair that fell in wave ringlets. Ghost meowed and I smiled, "Thanks lovely." I said and picked him up holding him close to me. "Aunt Zee said I can't bring you with me." I pointed out to him as we walked down the hall. Ghost meowed and I scoffed, "I'm a big girl Ghost." I said and Ghost meowed, "Fine but they can't know." I whispered as Sabrina turned and eyed me. Ghost meowed and kissed my cheek making me smile.

"Okay. Before I forget, I have made you these." Aunt Hilda said giving Sabrina and I little sandbags. "Ooh! They're to take to the academy. Keep in your little pockets.""Protection charms. Honestly, Hilda, what next? Crystals? Sage?" Aunt Zelda scolded. "I was concerned, Zelda, that they were gonna get bullied. You know how cruel girls can be at that or any age." Hilda said and I smiled softly. "Don't worry about us, Aunt Hilda. I can take care of myself, and Everleigh." Sabrina said making me scoff smiling.
"I know... Ooh! What if you take Salem and Ghost in with you? Or we could teleport them to you." Hilda suggested but Zelda instantly called out, " Nonsense. Only babies and ninnies take their familiars to school. Remember when you tried to bring your spiders? How all the other students laughed and called you names?"
