(Subplot) Little Tania Toadsworth

"She's a sexy little thing, isn't she?" Lexie had to admit as she examined the Tania statuette she had taken back to her room "If she didn't have such a toxic personality she might even be my type"

"What did you even bring her up here for?" April wondered "It looks like she has suffered enough already"

"Not enough for my liking" Lexie pondered before her face lit up with an idea "Hey, can you make her into a frog?"

"What?"

"You're a witch now. Turn her into a cute little stone frog. No, better still, an ugly fat stone toad. Even more humiliating!"

"Careful Lily, there is such a thing as Karma!" April warned.

"Yes, and that is precisely what this is!" Lexie retorted.

"Fine, consider yourself lucky that I like you so much" April wearily relented and took Tania from her roommate.

"Ooh, keep her glasses! That will be a really funny touch and everyone will know it is her!" Lexie giggled.

"I suppose it is all good magical practice" April tried to reassure herself of her actions as she waved her hand over the Tania statuette and passed it back to her friend.

"Oh my fucking word you are a genius April!" Lexie was about as excited as the ex-shopkeeper could ever remember seeing her. Just as requested, Tania was now a stone statue of a rather bloated, warty toad wearing a pair of stylish women's glasses.

"You can totally tell it's her, she still looks kind of smug" Lexie mused as she examined April's handiwork "There you go, how do you like them apples? Maybe I should donate you to a charity shop Tannie - or, should I say, Lily!"

"No, you're Lily, that name is taken" April corrected the former amphibian.

"Okay, fine. What was it Chelsea suggested for me when I was in the shop? Toadsworth? That is fucking poetic - Little Tania Toadsworth! Oh, you have no idea how much I needed this April. I'm going to place her here on the mantelpiece, right next to your tacky lucky cat thing"

"Hey, I prefer the term kitsch!"

"Oh God, Barbs still has that little ceramic lily pad for Little Tania Toadsworth to sit on" Lexie remembered "I'll just run and get it!"

As her animated roommate practically sprinted from the room, April picked the little toad up and looked it square in the eyes.

"I'm genuinely sorry about this Tania, but if she gets it out of her system now at least she might go easier on you once you are back to your pretty little self!"
