@alyafae gets a plotted starter
Farah had heard voices coming from what was supposed to be an empty classroom. Inside, she had found Bloom, Stella, and the others gathered around a circle of runes etched onto the floor with chalk, a mouse placed in the middle. The girls were murmuring the words of a spell as they held hands, eyes closed, and didn't see their headmistress enter.
