Encounter by the Full Moon
I feel you could have warned me how lonely it is to be a witch, especially in my first year! Even Firenze doesn’t always care for my company – a poor trait in a pet or a familiar! Last night I couldn’t sleep and I got up and wandered about. Firenze stirred for a moment,… Continue reading

The Disappearing Familiar
Firenze has given me a shock. Perhaps I have fallen into the trap of seeing him more as a pet than a familiar. I knew we had a bond and I thought it was surprising when I had a future flash, but I have discovered that I vastly underestimated him. This morning I went down… Continue reading

The Eyes of Mrs Webfoot
It’s been a difficult few days for poor Firenze. I think Hatty must’ve disturbed the enclosure while she was cleaning – or snooping! – or else the new surroundings have confused him, as he ended up climbing out and I ended up with him curled up next to me as I tried to plan a… Continue reading

Olive Framley’s Magical Year
I am glad you agreed to be my mentor. What a wonderful gift my Chinese Water Dragon was! I knew that I could never be a witch with a cat or an owl. Magic needs to be modernised. I have named my new familiar Firenze, after Florence, the beautiful city where I first realised I… Continue reading

Firenze did something he’s never done before… He brought Maksym with him on one of his magical portal journeys! Maksym didn’t even seem surprised – he’d spotted Firenze and followed him. He said that he’d told his father he’d gone to his friend’s to play, in the same block where he lives… but he’d snuck… Continue reading

Focusing my powers away from divination feels cleansing at the moment. To thank Hatty for her gift, I decided to see if I could make the chores around the house a bit easier. I thought it would be good if I could make the hamper lighter to make picnics easier, and I realised that there… Continue reading

Olive Framley Entry 9, 16th May.
I’m in hot water with Aunty Ermingarde. I don’t mind, really. I went over for tea and I was telling her about going off fortune telling and she took it really personally, shouting about my lying to the town (is it my fault they won’t pay me if I tell the truth?!) and then she… Continue reading

Olive Framley Entry 8, 12th May.
Last night I couldn’t sleep and I got up and wandered about. Firenze stirred for a moment, looked at me curiously, stared at me with an almost impertinent pointedness, and then pulled a leaf of sage off the plant and disappeared. I took this to mean that he must have understood our conversation. I wondered… Continue reading

Firenze has given me a shock. I knew we had a bond and I thought it was surprising when I had a future flash, but I have discovered that I vastly underestimated him. This morning I went down his enclosure and he was gone. I was frantic and I called Hatty, who denied having seen… Continue reading

Olive Framley Entry 4, 23rd April.
Dear Talia, It’s been a difficult few days for poor Firenze. I think Hatty must’ve disturbed the enclosure, or else the new surroundings have confused him, as he ended up climbing out and I ended up with him curled up next to me as I tried to plan a tarot reading. Continue reading
