Chapter 4

Chapter FOUR I could tell Wilbur had been using wizard magic because his fingertips were slightly sparking. Wizards use their hands a lot to do magic. In front of him sat Snowspell the cat. But she didn't look quite like she usually does. Her snowy white fur had turned bright purple and her usually dormant wings were fluttering. They kept

lifting her a few inches up off the ground, before plonking her back down again. She looked completely bewildered.

'Mirabelle, don't tell Granny and Grandpa!' said Wilbur, twisting his hands about worriedly. 'I just couldn't resist doing some magic. But it all went a bit wrong! I was only trying to do something nice for Snowspell. She came out into the garden looking so cross!' 'Ah,' I said. 'Well, I think I know why...'

'As long as you don't tell on me,' replied Wilbur. 'It's a pact!' I said and we shook hands on it. 'What now then?' asked Wilbur. 'We have to see if we can sort it out before Granny and Grandpa see. They'll be so cross! They hate mess!' 'I'm sure if we both work together with your wizard magic and my witch magic, we can fix everything!' I said hopefully. 'I'll try and fix Snowspell and you can fix my duvet. Let's go back into the house. My witch kit is in our bedroom!' I picked up Snowspell and carried her
