Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part III

Yes, there were more tables and chairs here. No, they were not allowed to be used for making a bonfire. Eat something hot if you're still weirdly cold.

She was like Christine all over again, and Agnes was completely floored by there being two such people in the universe.

"Not really," she answered, thinking of Granny and Nanny. "It was more of a beginning-of-an-apprenticeship sort of thing."

"But still," Giselle said. "A gift! Do you have other colours too?"

"No, the black is sort of..." Well, "required" wasn't really the right word, was it? Especially since Magrat never wore black, or even the hat. It was more that it was sort of... "traditional. And sensible. You can't go wrong with your basic black."

"But what fun is being sensible?" Giselle asked. "I could make you one in a pretty blue! Oh! Or maybe a purple? That would look so lovely with your complexion."

The cheerfulness was infectious, and Agnes could already feel it starting to affect her. She's too cheerful, countered Perdita. I'll bet birds and small furry animals flock to her side when she sings.

"No, it's... The whole point of the pointy black hat is for it to be black. And pointy. It's a witch's hat, you see. A pretty blue wouldn't quite have the same effect."

"Are you a good witch or a bad witch?" she asked, not seeming entirely phased by either idea.

"Oh, a good witch," Agnes asserted. "Well, not a very good witch, I mean, I'm a good person, but I'm just learning to be a witch."

The problem with a profession that needed you to intimidate people with your mystery was that honesty sort of deflated it.
