Poor Miss. Duchene...

Seriously, why do they always have Kate Duchene cast as a wife in an unhappy marriage of infidelity? "A Sense Of Guilt", "The Bill", "All Good Children", "Kiss Me Kate", "Henry VIII", etc.

No wonder why her character in "Midsommer Murders" killed her cheating mom! It was emotional built up from her other lives...

And then there's "Worst Witch" where Constance Hardbroom pretty abhorent with love (though she was interest in Icy Stevens and Richard Avalon...)...

I wasn’t expecting this (Constance x F!Reader)

Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. You thought. You were late and it was the third time this week, you were going to be in trouble in the best of the cases, or Miss Cackle would fire you in the worst.

Or Hardbroom will lecture you…again.

You shuddered at the thought. You and Constance used to be good friends back in the day. You had both been Broomhead’s students and there was always a kind of friendly competition between you, because, not to brag, but you had been one of the best witches in the school, only she could rival you.

You knew she had a hard time making friends, and although she tried to cover it up with a tough and strict facade, she had never been able to fool you, not you, you could see the rawness of her loneliness and a longing to belong to something. So you had become friends with her.

Sure, she turned you down at first and Broomhead actually resented your insistence, ordering you to leave her alone, but unlike the other students (especially Constance), you weren't afraid of her, so you kept trying until you managed to get the girl open up to you.

Also, there was a strange feeling about you whenever you were close to her like you belonged next to her. A sensation that felt like something bottled up inside you, something struggling to get out and pulling you to her. But you never said it out loud.

Being friends with Constance Hardbroom wasn't like being friends with anyone else. There was no gossip, games, sleepovers, or jokes, and laughter was rare, there were only reviews of lessons and classes and study.

But there was also loyalty, trust, and a quiet understanding. You knew that no matter what, no matter if you sometimes fought, she would never, EVER, betray you. None of your secrets would leave her lips, nor would she use them to stab you in the back. She always protected you, and you had tried to do the same for her, balance her loyalty with your own, and take care of her as she took care of you.

That was why it had hurt you so much how much she had changed.

You hadn't attended Weirdsister, so your communication with Constance had been limited to a few occasional letters, which tapered off until they stopped altogether. It had hurt, yes, but you knew that you had also been to blame for it, you had given up too easily.

But that didn't mean you didn't know what had become of her, even if you didn't talk to her, you still cared about her, and you were glad to know that she had become a teacher at Cackle's, it was a good school and you were sure that she would be an extraordinary teacher.

You didn't expect to meet a replica of Miss Broomhead when you accepted Amelia Cackle's invitation to become a permanent part of the school staff.

You didn't recognize her at first. Of course, she had the same bearing with which you had known her, she was dressed entirely in black and the tight bun on her head was the same, but it was hard for you to understand that this rigid as a board woman and who instilled terror in her students was your friend. If you were honest, even now it was hard for you to accept it.

You blushed suddenly as you realized how much you were thinking about her, again. You had caught yourself doing it constantly ever since you got here and you hated yourself for it. She had made it very clear that she no longer knew you here, that you were just another teacher and that the past between you was buried. So why couldn't you do the same? If you had always returned what she gave you with the same intensity, why couldn't you return her indifference with yours?

"Maybe because you still have hopes of finding your friend" you thought

A terribly optimistic and unlikely thought, but you clung to that tiny bit of hope.

"You're late"

You didn't even flinch at the cold tone of the voice behind you, nor did you make an attempt to justify yourself. You just shrugged your shoulders and walked on.

"The alarm clock didn't go off" you lied

"A witch should not delegate responsibilities to devices created by people without magic"

"A witch shouldn't talk like a girl to an equal" you said "but here we are"

You turned so you could look at her with what you expected to be a serious and defiant face but only made your cheeks blush more when you realized that she was terrifyingly close to you, definitely within your personal space. When had she gotten so tall?!

"The great wizard is coming" she said, abruptly changing the subject and looking away from you, though she didn't move away.

"But he hasn't done it yet, so I'm just in time" you said, trying to sound casual "besides, it's not like I'm too interested in his show of power today"

"It's a unique event, a rectification of a bad decision made 500 years ago, what's not interesting about it?"

"Soulmates" you said "let's witness the liberation of soulmates, Constance. We witches have lived without knowing how to find our other half for 500 years and it didn't kill us. We both know that this is just a show of power, not a true revolution for magic"

The taller woman just looked at you curiously, but she didn't say anything else. She probably found it strange that you, the more cheerful and optimistic of the two, would be so skeptical about this.

But it wasn’t skepticism, it was fear.

The soulmates were something that the old witches were used to, it was a sacred thread that tied the magic of two beings to increase and preserve it with a force greater than all the magic in the world: love. By loving your soulmate, the bond between magic was strengthened. A simple but powerful fact.

But a grieving wizard who lost his wife too soon decided that if he didn't have that power, no one else would. And he used his powers as a great wizard to erase all existence of the fiendish souls, locking that magic inside the witches. Only another great wizard could free it, but none had bothered to do so.

Until now.

You knew that Constance was right, it was a historical event and that it should be treated with respect and admiration, but you couldn't find any of those emotions within you. Just plain, pure fear of what might happen once that magic was released.

No one knew how it felt, but there were plenty of people who claimed to feel a kind of tug when they were around their partners, and many magical scientists claimed that it was the bond of soul mates, struggling to break free.

It scared you to think about what that meant to you and the feeling that you had felt close to Constance since you were little, and that had only gotten stronger and stronger since you came to work at Cackle's.

“Well, whether you like it or not Miss Y/L/N, you’ll soon have the ability to find your soulmate” Constance said when the great wizard arrived.

“Oh, let’s just hope it isn’t someone gloomy and strict” you whispered, regretting it immediately

“Perhaps a childhood friend” she said

You gasped and looked at her surprised, but she wasn’t looking at you. You felt your face getting redder and it was hard for you to breathe correctly. She couldn’t have insinuated what you think, right?

However, you didn't have time to think about it any longer because the great wizard started the ritual. It was strange, you thought, that he didn’t make one of his long and boring speeches (or maybe he did, you just weren't paying attention, who knows?).

“And now, ladies and gentlemen” he said dramatically “I will lift the curse of 500 years!”

You rolled your eyes, such a dramatic and exaggerated man. Beside you, you felt your former friend tense and decided not to say anything when she took a step closer to you. The woman exuded nervousness, though you didn't know why.

“Do you have faith in soulmates, Miss Hardbroom?” You whispered if only to distract her

“I have faith in magic” she answered

“But you seemed rather interested in this…perhaps there’s someone you want to be linked to?”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about, Miss Y/L/N”

You didn’t know why, but noticing the subtle and elegant blush on her cheeks made you proud. Maybe because it reminded you of the little girl that used to be your friend. You were about to say something else, tease her more, when you felt something through your chest, like a dagger. You realized too late that the great wizard had unleashed the magic, and by merlin, someone modifying your magic that crudely hurt like hell.

You grabbed your abdomen tightly and knelt down, trying to block out the pain as best you could. You tried counting to ten in various languages and reciting various potions, but it wasn't until you felt a pair of arms around your shoulders that you could really distract yourself from the pain.

"Are you okay?"

You looked up to see Constance leaning over you, looking at you with a concern you hadn't seen since you were 13 years old.

"Yes…I think so" you said, leaning into her as she helped you to your feet.

Once you recovered a bit and your mind cleared, you realized how close you were to her. Her scent of herbs and other potion ingredients washed over you, making your legs weak.

"I-"

You couldn't say anything else because the feeling in your stomach returned, the same one you always felt when you were close to her, only this time, you felt the current of magic run through your veins, filling you up inside as if a piece that was missing from you finally would have fit.

From the way Constance looked at you, you knew you weren't the only one to feel it. You were surprised when a purple butterfly made of magic fluttered around you, followed by a green one.

"Looks like we have the first soulmates reunited!" The voice of the great wizard came from behind you, followed by cheers that snapped you back to reality.

Everyone present was looking at you and you realized that your magic and Constance's were in full view, intertwined.

"Congratulations, Miss Hardbroom!" you heard Mildred somewhere in the crowd

"Go Miss Y/L/N!!!" Maud chanted

You looked at the taller woman in her eyes and could see the same fear you felt reflected in her brown orbs.

"Well, I wasn't expecting this" you whispered

28th Jan 2023 - Today I went to see Kate Duchêne at The Donmar Warehouse to watch the play Watch on the Rhine. It was absolutely amazing to actually see her live along with Patricia Hodge and all the other actors and actresses were absolutely brilliant.

I was in the same room as Miss Hardbroom and she was as magical as ever ❤️🥹. It was a matinee performance so I wasn’t sure there would be stage door appearances, however I had an amazing time.

This is the fourth time I've tried to post these here on the hellsite (they're already on instagram), so let's hope it bloody works.

Two Hardbrooms and their magic eyes that absolutely have everything to do with this fic that I uploaded the other week

Anyway, Hecate is on the left, Constance is on the right.

Constance is the only thing between the Great Wizard being on the receiving end of Hecate's ire. That being said, I don't have much hope for him, because all it would take is one wrong word out of his mouth for him to have both of them hexing him six ways from Sunday.

Enjoy the colours and the textures :3

Toadddd ughhhh ive been slowly rewatching tww and my pipe dream is to make worst witch video essays because there is just so much to say about the incredible highs and lows of children's witch media okayyyy

Listennnn, I'd watch a whole series of ww video essays if I'm honest. What I feel they lack in plot progression they make up for it in acting. Raquel Cassidy took the role of HB and made it so iconic which says something because Kate Duchene already made Miss Hardbroom's character something special on the big screen.

#in this essay i will #jk jk but seriously the show is something special #and there's a lot to talk about #the worst witch #toad answers #saltghosts

In this timeless fable, New York Times bestselling author, twice winner of the prestigious Newbery Medal and US National Ambassador for Children's Literature Kate DiCamillo evokes the largest of themes - hope and belonging, desire and compassion - with the lightness of a magician's touch.

What if? Why not? Could it be? When a fortune-teller's tent appears in the market square of the city of Baltese, orphan Peter Augustus Duchene knows the questions that he must ask: Does his sister still live? And if so, how can he find her? The fortune-teller's mysterious answer (An elephant! An elephant will lead you there!) sets off a chain of events so remarkable, so impossible, that you will hardly dare to believe it is true. With atmospheric illustrations by fine artist Yoko Tanaka, here is a dreamlike and captivating tale that could only be told by Kate DiCamillo.

Daily inspiration. Discover more photos at Just for Books…?
