Our Most Major Hex

The text said, You have twenty-four hours to offer me membership, or the recipes go viral.

We explained Memory Maker Part One to Señora Perez. She said, “I know Memory Maker Part Two because I wrote that one.” She stood, the crow immediately landing on her shoulder to come along for the ride, and walked through the beaded curtain to the front of the store, where she reached for a bottle. But it was too high, so Hannah got it for her. It was dark amber. She unscrewed the cap and showed a dropper. “This is Cedronian tryptophanberry elixir. Very powerful. Mix it into a lotion, and it is absorbed through the skin.”

“What does it do?”

“It will put her into a walking trance. She will go through the motions of a regular person, but she will be entranced and do what you tell her.”

“This is perfect! I love it,” Darbie said. “We will control Charlotte Barney. This is going to be hours and hours of fun. Can we go do it right now?”

“Um,” Hannah said. “Let’s think about this one a little bit.”

“Yeah,” I agreed.

“Are you kidding me?” Darbie asked. “You’re not sure if you want to control Charlotte? Do I have to remind you of every mean thing she has ever done to us? I don’t think I have enough time for that.”

“Don’t get me wrong,” I said. “I love the idea, but this is the biggest hex we’ve ever considered.”

“The Return could be huge,” Hannah added.

Darbie raised her hand. “I’ll take that one. I know it’s not my turn, but bring on that Return. Any price is worth entrancing Charlotte Barney.”

“We have twenty-four hours, let’s at least sleep on it,” I said.

“In the meantime,” Señora P said, “you can try this for your coach.” She pushed bottles around, perched her reading glasses on the tip of her nose, and read the bottoms until she found one she wanted. “This should drive away hostility.”

Hannah twisted open the cap and poured a few of the pointy seeds into her palm. “How am I going to get him to eat one of these?”

“He does not eat it,” Señora P said.
