Demon!Lockwood and Witch!Lucy
âGeorge, for the last time, I cannot use a Replication spell on donuts! I am a nature witch, not a baker!â
The werewolf huffed. âThen whatâs the point of studying all those spells and hexs and whatnot if you canât even magic yourself up some donuts now and then?â
Lucy sighed good naturedly, and continued pruning the plants in her greenhouse as George hovered impatiently at the door. Catching the floaty sleeve of her cream robe on an errant thorn, Lucy cursed quietly, tossing her pruning shears back into her satchel and removing her silver scissors.
âLucyyyâŠâ, he moaned quietly, âhurry uuuup⊠I need you to sort out this cut. I could be dying hereâ
âOh, hushâ, the witch chastised gently, her brown leather Oxfords clicking across the stone bricks, âyouâre fine, donât be such a drama queenâ. She examined the plants in front of her- chamomile, mint, lemon balm, St. Johnâs wort, lavender, Johnny jump ups- aha!
She snipped a couple of stems of mallow, tucking the scissors into her robe pocket, before shooing George back into the kitchen. There, she placed the mallow into a mortar and ground them, adding a splash of mead to ward off bacteria, a clove of garlic to aid healing, and a couple of heads of bright yellow calendula from the bunch hanging overhead from the rafters.
âGeorge, can you pass me some bandages, please? Top drawer of the dresser on your leftâ
The werewolf grumbled something in response, before trudging towards the huge, antique dresser and rummaging about.
âRight, okay, sit down, and Iâll be with you in a secondâ, Lucy replied, catching the bandages George tossed to her with ease, and slathering the poultice onto the cloth.
At the table, he rolled up his sleeve, stained with blood, to reveal a long gash running the length of his forearm. He said heâd got it gardening, but Lucy knew for a solid fact that George had never touched a trowel in his life.
Lucy carefully placed the bandage over the wound - she had cleaned and inspected it earlier - and wound the bandages round and round, before tying them in a neat bow on top.
âThere, done- no, donât touch it!â, she batted the manâs errant hand away from his injury, and then grinned, âDonât make me put a cone on youâ
George narrowed his eyes. âThatâs really not funnyâ
