Okay so just a few things:
1. Father Blackwood is gone. I don't know how, I just couldn't seem to figure out how I would write this with him, so his existence is all but forgotten, except for his children
2. Dorcas is alive and Agatha is sane again. Again, no explanation, I wanted to get a reaction from the wizards to the Weird Sisters.
3. Dumbledore is alive. I just wanted him to live for this. Yet again, no explanation. This is all just for my own convenience.
4. This will be set in what would be Ginny and Luna's seventh year at Hogwarts, but those form Harry's year are all retaking the year
5. I'm for the most part going to ignore the queen of hell storyline, but might bring it up in conversation

Ambrose's POV
It was one strange morning. It started normally, as this kind of day often does, but this didn't last long, and surprisingly, not because of Sabrina- there's a first time for everything. Aunt Hilda was talking about which "fascinating" herbs had gone into the smoothies and pancakes she made and what they did, and we heard a scratching noise at the window. I stood up and walked over to the window, Sabrina glancing between our aunts, and gingerly opened the window. A barn owl hopped through the gap and held out a leg to Auntie Z. She was leaning against the kitchen counter and raised an eyebrow before taking the letter attached to its leg. She read for a minute then said, "interesting."
"Zelda?" Aunt Hilda asked.
"It seems that there is a magick school in Britain that would like to run an exchange program with the Academy: students and teachers," Auntie Z informed us.
"Are you going to tell the academy later?" Sabrina said.
"Yes Sabrina, but don't worry about any of it now, you have school at Baxter High," Aunt Zelda said in her usual, sharp manner, ushering 'Brina out the door.
"Bye!" she called as Auntie Z closed the door behind her.
"Is there something that you're not allowed to tell the students then, Zelds?" Hilda asked.
"Whatever would make you this that?" she answered, disgruntled.
"Just a hunch," she replied.
"There is a note at the bottom for the teachers. The schools- Hogwarts and the School of Unseen Arts- do not practice the same forms of witchcraft. We practice magick with a k. They practice magic with a c. However, this head master, Albus Dumbledore, believes it will be good for all the students, which is true, to learn each other's ways."
"That's great, aunties," I said, moving towards the door. "I have classes to teach today, so I must be off." I left, giving my aunties a wink as I went.

Later that day, High Priestess Zelda called an impromptu assembly of the coven to inform them of the exchange program.
After explaining everything above, Aunt Zelda told everyone, "Sister Hilda and I have decided that Brother Ambrose will go for the teachers and we will send Sabrina, Prudence, Dorcas and Agatha for the students. From them, we will receive four students also, and a teacher, Professor Sinstra. We chose these students because we thought they would probably take in the most from this other school, Hogwarts."
"Also sending them the Weird Sisters and the Queen of Hell would probably be a shock to the system," I murmured.
"Just one last thing," Auntie Z announced. "These witches and wizards are not a coven." This caused the room to erupt into mutters and these were only silenced by Aunt Zelda's cry of "Hail Lilith, Hail Hecate! You are dismissed." The students stood up and filed back up to the dormitories, except Sabrina and the Weird Sisters. "The five of you have to pack. The Hogwarts school year starts in two days. We have to send you to London to catch the train to this school," Zelda told us in her snappy way.
"You have to befriend these witches and wizards, because they could be a great friend or a powerful enemy," Aunt Hilda added softly.

Ginny's POV
I was in the Leaky Cauldron with Hermione, waiting for the boys to come down for breakfast. Bill was teaching DADA this year because someone needed to fill the position.
A group of five, one guy and four girls walked in confidently. They looked about Hogwarts age, but I hadn't seen them before. They took seats at the table next to us and the guy went up to the bar to order. "Hi, do you go to Hogwarts?" I smile across at the blonde girl. She looked about my age and appeared to be the friendliest so I took my shot.
"We're exchange students for this year. I'm Sabrina, this is Prudence, Agatha and Dorcas. My cousin, Ambrose, is a teacher from our school, the Academy of Unseen Arts, he's over there," she pointed at each of them in turn and the guy at the bar.
"I'm Hermione and this is Ginny. I didn't know Hogwarts had an exchange program," Hermione said, interested.
"They didn't, until this year," Prudence told us coolly.
"We're going to be in the seventh year," Sabrina said.
"We are too! And our friends," Hermione said as Harry and Ron walked in. "Speak of the devil."
"Excuse me?" Agatha asked in quiet indignation.
"This is my brother, Ron, and our friend, Harry Potter," I told them, waiting for them to start freaking out over Harry. Instead, they just looked mildly interested and Sabrina shook his hand. "Hello, we're exchange students, coming to your school this year," she stated. Sabrina then introduced the five of them, and her cousin, Ambrose, came over with drinks for them. "I see you've been making friends, cousin."
Sabrina shrugged, "this is Ginny, Hermione, Harry and Ron. They're students at Hogwarts. This is my cousin, he's teaching at your school, from our school."
"One Professor Sinstra from your school is at the Academy for the year," her cousin said.
"You're Professor...?" Harry asked.
"Spellman," Professor Spellman told us. "Would you look at the time? We need to go girls."
"We'll see you on the train," Dorcas murmured, winking at us all, as they got up and walked out. After twenty minutes of the four of us, laughing and discussing these exchange students and teacher, Mum came and told us we had to leave for the station.
