“What? That… <span class="mu-i">something</span> should have happened. Are there more? Do I need to be an octuplet to make it work?! Mom couldn’t fit that many in her!”, you shouted as you recovered from the small magical drain, pissed more than anything.
“Ahhh… Jenn? My nemesis is coming over with your sister… She looks annoyed.”
“Thanks, ‘Brey. Let’s see if something went correct over there.”
“Really, Jenn? Had me woken up in the middle of the night for a little light show? Insufferable.”
“15 years 22 hours. You can suffer me a bit longer.”
“Argh!”
“So… nothing special on your end?”
“Think the symbol was brighter than before? Maybe? Nothing on this end?”
“Little sis got a good drawing of it. Felt maybe a bit more magical drain than before… about it. Emmy? Anything?”
“No. Not really… felt it though. Like it wanted something. Something more than just our fingertip in a little groove.”
“Wait!” There was a grove? Not just flat? I couldn’t tell when it lit up…”, Macy asks, like she is on to a lead.
“Ah, yeah. Little dip. How I knew to stick my finger there when I first saw it.”, you say.
“O-okay then. We try again but with something else now.”
“Going to stick some Wiggenweld in there, MayMay?”
“No. Blood. Yours’s Em. And Jenn’s.”
“W-what?!”
“The most powerful spells? They aren’t just stick-waving, bad Latin, and intent. They require sacrifice. Fiendfyre… something which was powerful enough to damage Hogwarts, even when used by an idiot teen? It required sacrifice. A drop of blood, to never return. The Killing Curse? Green Death? Sacrifice? A part of your soul to never heal again. The Unbreakable Vow? A portion of a wizard’s power forever gone… and the lack of choice by those who make it. Keep it or die.”, and your young friend, little sister in all but name? She looked up with a kind of sadness it was hard to conceptualize.
“Emmy… we can just try a drop. But if you aren’t okay with it? Maybe I can put some of my own in a vial? Something?”
“Sis? I got out of bed for this. If Macy thinks this might do something? Gonna trust her. Besides lose more than a drop every month.”
“Heh. Gross.”
“Found something we agree on, Aubrey.”
“’Brey, glow nigger!”
“Fuck… Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dumber! ‘Brey. You’re still with me. Emmy? Can you transfigure a twig or two into needles?”
“Oh! Don’t worry about it. Have a few sewing needles in the kit.”
“What “kit”, ‘Brey!”
“Sewing one. Duh.”
“We are witches. We can just <span class="mu-i">Reparo</span> a tear in our pants.”
“Not if you don’t have a wand, unless you are Merlin in a very good wig.”
“F-fine. I am not questioning it.”
“Awesome. And I will be sure to make it clean if you get overtaken with Dark Power; same for you, Emmy! Can pop you in the noodle easy from the boy’s entranceway.”
