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

Growing Together
I have been helping Mrs Webfoot in the garden lately and I feel that I’ve been “hearing” the plants and trees more and more. She is happy for me to help her with anything except her herb garden, which she is very protective over. And it feels good to help – she charges so little… Continue reading

The Storm and the Miracle
Yesterday I woke up with a headache and all I could see in my mind’s eye was rain… in a circle. I’ve had feelings about the weather since the strange magical storm and I decided I needed to find out what it was. As I saw it in my mind,, the circle of rain spread… Continue reading

I am pleased to report that “The Amazing Olive” was a success! True, there were one or two little swots who saw through some of the card trick. But they loved it when I made Maksym fly. Continue reading

I still have my very paltry allowance, but of course now 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

I saw Maksym again the other day! He was walking along by the cliffs with his father. They were some way ahead of me and his father was walking at a usual pace but Maksym kept darting back. I realised he was trying to practise making the rocks fly again. He didn’t notice me, being… Continue reading

You’ll never guess what – I saw Jacob again! It was very mysterious… I was in a quiet part of town where there are just a couple of specialist shops that are sometimes useful, and he was wearing a dark jacket even though it was warm, his hood up! He looked around like he hoped… Continue reading

Olive Framley Entry 12, 27th May.

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
