[They probably weren't as powerful as the kind of Witches he usually fought, but they sounded quite nasty enough, he thinks.]
[And then one of the Shadows turned toward Binx, tittering.]
...But you know, Thackery Binx? We weren't always like this - Why, we used to be pretty ordinary people, actually!
[And another one leaned toward him, grinning.]
- Oh, yes - Sure, we sold love spells and curses and told fortunes and all that stuff, but it was almost all stuff we just made up on the fly, you know? People would buy anything if they're desperate enough, really...
[And then the third one twirled around a bit.]
...But one day - One day, we woke up, and the dark magic was flowing all around us - And oh! How happy we were!
- We could get back at them, now, get back at all those stupid townspeople who kept saying nasty things about us even though they came running to us when they wanted a love spell or a curse or some potions...
[And then all three of them started to laugh, eerily. Young Nunnally laughed, too, clapping her hands a bit.]
- See, Miss Winnie, Miss Mary, Miss Sarah? Sometimes, there really are happy endings to some stories, after all!
