It was an awful school and Hazel hated it. It was mostly black kids, with a sprinkle of Latino kids, with kids as young as kindergarden and as old as highschool. Agnes Academy for Colored Children and Indians. When the ether wore off, she was sick for three days.Īs a child, Hazel went to St. The dentist promised it would make her sleepy and relaxed, she was panicky and felt like she was floating out of her body. It was the only time she ever took ether. Once, when Hazel was young, Marie took her to the dentist to get her tooth pulled. She lived next to a bakery that would make the stairwells smell of melting butter, making beignets at night. New recruits would talk about fighting the Japanese, get tattoos, and propose on the sidewalks. By the time she was thirteen, it had become festive despite the war. Hazel and Marie lived in an old apartment in the French quarter above a jazz club. As she became angrier, she listened to Gaea's voice and let it possess her. Hazel would never ask her what she meant, because it just made her angrier. Marie would blame her father, telling her it was Pluto's fault. But Hazel knew it wasn't true, and she just didn't want Hazel to blame her for her curse. Marie told Hazel that she only pretended to believe in Magic and it was all "bunk and hokum", and she was just performing. She became wanted for murder, and her clients wanted to hang her as a witch. Marie began to resent Hazel, and became short tempered. So only people who didn't live in New Orleans were the ones who bought the jewels. Rumors began spreading about Hazel, who found the crystals. Henry had a heart attack and dropped dead with a ruby he bought from Queen Marie. Charlie Gasceaux, who bought a bracelet, lost his arm while wearing that bracelet. But stories started spreading, as bad things happened to people who bought the treasure. Marie and Hazel loved comfortably, with Marie being able to pay her bills, have steak dinner once a week, and Hazel even got a new dress. People would buy them and sell them for a lot of money, which brought Marie a lot of money. Marie used the jewels Hazel would find as charms to sell. Gold popped up around Hazel’s house, as the curse only started in small quantities, and Hazel also would find them while walking up and down the street. Hazel remembers this as the happiest day of her life. Hazel cheerfully drew pictures while Marie hummed. Marie was in a good mood: buying beignets and a bottle of champagne, even a new box of crayons for her. Hazel remembered eating a picnic breakfast with her fondly on a morning during Mardi Gras. Marie sold Hazel's first precious stone when she was seven, before either of them knew about her curse. Her mother's ambition to become wealthy later caused her grief, as Marie began to use Hazel's unique powers (a result of her wish) for selfish reasons. She did this mainly because she was tired of being poor as described in The Son of Neptune. But Marie insisted, which gave Hazel the curse. When Pluto granted Marie one wish, Marie wished for all the riches of the earth from Pluto, despite his warning that the greediest wishes cause the greatest sorrows. After Hazel was born, Pluto was proud and swore on the River Styx that he would give her anything. Pluto loved Marie, telling her she was brave and beautiful. Marie had summoned Pluto using a spell that Hecate had found, and they fell in love. On December 17, 1928, Hazel was born to Marie Levesque and the god Pluto in New Orleans, Louisiana.
