TEEN MISSING IN MAGICAL MISDEMEANOUR
In further tragic evidence of the impact of the magical agenda, a sixteen year old girl has vanished from the town of St Bernice’s Field. Juvenile witch Lucy Skylark, sixteen, visited The Green Dragon Inn accompanied by another so-called witch-in-training and, after neighbours reported disturbing sounds in the night, has not been seen since midnight… Continue reading

A Haunting to Uncover
Lucy and I are away on some serious witch business! She came at the weekend with a letter from her mentor, Vera. She said that there’s been some strange activity – sounded like a haunting, or some sort of spirit infestation, at a pub. She thought this would take two witches – so we’re both… Continue reading

A mission from a mentor
Lucy Skylark Entry 18, 7th July. From: Vera Sparrowfield3 The WillowsGrainthorpe Dear Lucy, You make me quite the proud mentor.

Witchy Nostalgia
I am pleased to report that my performance as “The Amazing Olive” was a success! The children’s birthday party loved us. True, there were one or two little swots who saw through some of the card tricks – I couldn’t make all of them real magic. But they loved it when I made Maksym fly. Continue reading

A Job Done Too Well
Oh goodness, do you remember my magical barrier net that I put in place at the Fae Cinema? I assumed that was the end of the matter as I’d seen nothing out of the ordinary there since. In fact, I was really pleased with that as a bit of magical work – it felt much… Continue reading

She said she’d heard I’d been sent to the sea “for my health” – honestly, am I someone from a… Continue reading

Friends, Ice cream and Monsters
I wasn’t prepared for how strange it would be to go back home, after three months of living apart, as a proper witch! Mum and Dad seemed so pleased to have me back… At first. And I thought they’d be interested to hear my adventures, hear about Suki, Maksym, Bea and Olive, but whenever I… Continue reading

The Witch’s Apprentice
Poor kid. Imagine having your powers stunted like that! I know that Lucy hadn’t completed cut off his magic, but I wasn’t sure she’d made the right choice. It seemed like Maksym’s father just wanted to keep him small. I know what that feels like, Talia. It seems my mother does too. Continue reading

The Exchange
This week I was in a quiet part of town where there are just a couple of specialist shops that are sometimes useful, and I saw my new friend Jacob, professor of natural history and secret witch, walking down the road. He was wearing a dark jacket even though it was warm, his hood up! Continue reading

Making Light of Things
I tried an incantation I’d found from another internet forum, and it worked a little too well. I had to stand on a chair to get the bin down from the ceiling. But I tried the disillusionment spell and, joy of joys, it actually worked! So I tried again and put a little less magical… Continue reading
