Morrigan and the call of evil

It was back-to-school day. Morrigan had been woken up very early that morning, by three sharp knocks against the second door of her room, which led directly to the platform of station 919 of the Wunderground. She might be extremely happy to see her friends again, and especially Hawthorne ( who she missed terribly ), getting back to school was very complicated. After all, Kedgeree may not have been wrong. But despite everything, the idea of ​​seeing her best friend immediately gave her energy.

It was the first vacations she had spent without him since Jupiter had saved her from Jackalfax. And, she had to admit that she missed her unity too.

Cadence and her sharp sarcasm, Thaddea and her grumpy mood, Anah and her sickly shyness, Francis and his delicious homemade pastries, Archan and his angelic face, Mahir and his mania for speaking a billion languages ​​at the same time, Lambeth and her imagination... yes, she really missed them all.

She didn't even spend five minutes in her bathroom, too happy with the idea of ​​seeing her unit and started classes. Finally something that would change her mind.

Barely time to clean her face, brush her teeth, and get dressed in the haste of her uniform ( now with the white shirt of the Arcane's school ), that Morrigan was already opening her black door, taking her directly to the platform of station 919.

There was nobody.
"Normal," she thought. The clock had still not struck seven in the morning. Generally, the first arrivals were always the three most serious of the unit : Francis, Archan and Anah. When the three of them opened their doors at the same time, Morrigan's face split into a huge smile. Even though the members of unit 919 were still a little on the reserve with her, they had finally agreed to get to know her, and had stopped being cold and distant with her.

To her biggest surprise, barely the door of his room closed behind him that Francis rushed towards her, already a cookbook in his hands, while Anah and Archan gave her a smile before sitting on the bench by her side, and discuss about their vacations.

'' Morrigan ! '' Cries Francis, shoving his book under her nose. '' LOOK ! ''

'' Hello already, '' she retorts, without her smile disappearing. '' What should I watch ? '' She asks, a little lost when seeing all these pictures of pastries.

Her mouth was watering, the housetrain absolutely had to arrive. She hoped that Miss Cheery had filled their cookies jar. They were so delicious.

'' Are you dumb or what ? '' He exclaims. '' There ! '' He adds, pointing to a huge, intense black cake, adorned with small golden flowers.

Extremely simple, but so beautiful.

'' He is beautiful, '' she whispers, running her tongue over her lips, hungry.

'' You saw that ... it's so black that I said to myself that I absolutely had to show it to you, because you might like it ''

Then, without a glance, without realizing that the idea that he could have an attention towards her made her extremely moved, Francis stuck to the wall of the quay on her right, and plunged back into his book.

Barely ten minutes later, five minutes before the housetrain arrived, the other members of the unit disembarked. First Thaddea, still asleep, who groaned an audible " Hi '" to everyone, then Cadence who contented herself with standing with her arms crossed, yawning, Lambeth who, mind elsewhere as always, was on the ground, and finally Mahir who, after saying hello to everyone, went to chat with Anah, Morrigan and Archan, since no one else seemed sufficiently awake at the moment.
