Cackles Academy for Witches (Shadow and Natalie)

"Thanks." Shadow said. "I'll go and set up that infirmary."
With that, Shadow walked off, out into the forest again.

Natalie sighed slightly, and walked into the castle.

It didn't take long for Shadow to set up an infirmary, which looked like a small, shimmering black dome. It was her magic, and all you had to do was walk through it.

Natalie opened the mind connection.

You coming up to the castle?

Yeah, just finishing up here Shadow thought back, allowing Natalie to see through her eyes what she had done.

Inside the dome, it was warmer, and she had fashioned slabs of stone into beds, which were more comfortable than they looked. Plants had been charmed into flower and vines twined themselves all around. Some even held vials of potions, and Shadow had cleared a small part to the side as a potions lab.

Natalie smiled slightly.

Very nice...I see you've added homey touches...I like it...the girls'll love it....

I hope so... Shadow said before closing the connection and teleporting next to Natalie.

"Yay..." said Natalie, like a child.

Shadow smiled at her friend.

"We are apparently going to be sleeping in the west wing..." said Natalie.

Shadow nodded.
"Ok."

Natalie grinned.

"The girls are in there first class now...Miss Hardbrooms potions class..." said Natalie, "I'm taking chanting...Miss Batt...well...she didn't want to come back here...she said it was too scary..."

Shadow smiled.
"Well, have fun with that." She said. "Somehow, I'm not surprised she didn't want to come back to a lot of children with boredom and magic..."

"Yes...it would be frightening..." said Natalie, grinning.

"I'd better get back, you never know when someone's gonna turn up." Shadow said.

Natalie smiled.

"Ok..." she said, "shall I come...since I have healing backround and I don't have a class until two....?"

"If you want." Shadow said.

Natalie smiled and got up.

"Shall we..." she said.

Shadow nodded, striding aong the corridor.

Natalie walked slightly behind Shadow.

Shadow walked out into the courtyard and then towards the forest, where the black dome was barely visible.

Natalie looked around.

"This forest isn't as big as the fobidden forest..." Natalie noted.

"Nope." Shadow said as she walked through the dome.

Natalie looked into the dome.

"I can just...walk on through...can't I?" she asked.

Shadow poked her head out and nodded.
"It's just like an illusion."
