Sabrina sighed deeply, twiddling with her fingers whilst she awaited his arrival. The blonde witch was nervous, that much was obvious with her constant fidgeting. Hearing a twig snap and footsteps approach behind her, she turned around to see Harvey making his way to her down the forest path. He looked equally as composed as she was; that is, it both showed neither one of them was looking forward to this talk.
Harvey gave her a slight smile. "Hey, 'Brina."
Sabrina smiled back at him gently. "Hey Harvey. Thank you for coming." She sighed once again, suddenly finding great interest in the floor. "I'm not quite sure how to say this..." She trailed off, picking up the courage to glance at him through her eyelashes.
Harvey cracked a smile. "I have a feeling I know what you are going to say."
Sabrina raised her eyebrows in surprise. "You do?"
Harvey nodded. "Yeah, well, I think we both noticed things aren't like they used to be..." He sighed stuffing his hands in his pockets. "I think it would be best if we broke up."
Sabrina glanced at him, panicking slightly at his tone. "I agree, but this won't change our friendship though right? I don't think I could survive losing you, Harvey. Even if we didn't end up being star crossed lovers."
Harvey smiled at her, this time genuinely with all his white teeth showing. "I wouldn't lose our friendship for the world, 'Brina."

Victoria was mad. She couldn't pinpoint why exactly, but when Nick nudged her for the umpteenth time because she was glaring at her porridge instead of eating it, she realised she was in a foul mood.
Scratch that, she knew why, at who, all of that, but the poor guy didn't do anything. It was her fault for messing around with her tarot cards instead of listening to her teacher.
Victoria Murphy may have been mad because of Harvey Kinkle, but she was mad at herself. How could she be so unbelievable unlucky that she manages to make one of her friend's boyfriends her soulmate? Nick was probably dropped on his head as a baby, Victoria could't find another explanation for why he would have thought she'd be any good with tarot cards.
Sabrina would have her head on a stick if she ever found out about her current predicament, she was sure of it. Even if she said she doesn't feel anything for him anymore, Harvey was still her first love. Girls, by definition, couldn't date their friend's first love. That was just wrong.
Speaking of the angel, Victoria's phone beeped with a text. She took it out, and sure enough Sabrina texted her. The content of the text, however, made her raise her eyebrows. She wanted to do what?
She sighed, realising she didn't have anything better to do, and since Susie was her friend, she got up from her seat and threw away her now cold porridge. Suddenly a person blocked her path, catching her off guard and nearly making her stumble backwards.
"Tell me you aren't going."
Victoria blinked up at her brother, her gaze turning into a glare. "Susie is my friend, I have to help her. I can't just let Sabrina deal with this alone!"
Nick matched her stare. "Yes, you can Vicky."
Victoria crossed her arms over her chest. "And tell me now, why in the heaven would I do that, Nicky? I finally got some new friends, I'm not about to lose them-" Victoria stopped before the word again could slip from her mouth, clearing her throat and continuing her staring match with Nick.
"Because I just got you back, and no way in heaven am I losing you again. If you get excommunicated, I don't know what I will do with myself."
Victoria's mouth involuntarily opened, making her resemble a fish as realisation struck of just exactly what she was about to do, and what the consequences could be. She gulped. "Well, Nicky, how about this? I go and exorcise a demon, and you cover for me like a good big brother?"

Victoria sighed heavily, pushing open the doors of the Spellman household. Having gotten the call from Nick informing her that Father Blackwood was livid at her, it was safe to say she wasn't in any rush to get back to the Academy. Thankfully, Nick managed to talk him out of any dire consequences with the excuse of her being new to this world and it's rules. She thanked hell for having such an amazing brother, having no idea how she could have ever forgotten him.
She plopped down on the couch in Sabrina's room, groaning softly. She heard a laugh coming from the doorway, glancing up to see a man who seemed to be about twenty years old looking at her. She sat up quickly, fiddling with her ring as she spoke. "Hey, I don't think I've met you before."
The man came over and took a seat next to her, stretching out his hand for her to shake. "My name is Ambrose, I am Sabrina's cousin." As he spoke, his voice oozed with a deep British accent.
Victoria blinked twice. "How are you her cousin if you are British?" She froze, realising she maybe should not have asked that rude of a question out loud. She sighed and face-palmed as Ambrose laughed next to her.
She collected herself, putting on an over exaggerated smile and sticking her hand out. "Lemme start again. I'm Victoria, nice to meet you..." her smile turned sly, "mate."
Ambrose grinned at her. "I like you. The only new people I get to see are usually dead."
Victoria laughed, "You know that would be really creepy if I didn't know you guys owned a mortuary."
Suddenly Sabrina broke through the dear, a blinding grin on her face. Ambrose seemed to think so too. "What's got you so chipper, cousin?"
Sabrina happily sat down on the rug in front of the couch. "Well, dear cousin, I will have you know that I have just successfully performed an exorcism."
Ambrose rose his eyebrows as if to ask and?. Sabrina seemed to understand, as she continued. "And, Harvey and I are officially just friends. We broke up today, and it went surprisingly really well."
Victoria's eyes almost fell out of their sockets.
