Snort’s Sneeze

That night Clover’s parents noticed the key around her wrist. “It’s for the Agency,” she explained.

“Such responsibility already,” said her mom.

“Well done, Clover,” said her dad.

If only they knew the full truth of it! But Clover wasn’t sure her parents would like to know that she was looking after the place all by herself, so she just nodded and smiled when her mom gave her a second helping of strawberries and ice cream. Ice cream, she decided, was good for melting away memories of mean witches.

But the memories returned in the morning, especially when a boy and his parents, a witch and a wizard,came into the Agency looking for a pet for the boy. At first, Clover didn’t know what to think of the witch and wizard—were they bad or good? But they didn’t seem too different from normal parents, except for their pointy hats and long black robes. They left empty-handed, debating between the toad and a salamander. They promised to return when they had made a decision.

Afterward, Clover took a postcard out of her bag. Her mom had given it to her before she left. It was from Emma.

On the front was a picture of a pony standing in a windswept field. On the back, Emma had written:

Hi Clover,

My pony’s name is Gracie, and she’s chestnut-colored. She’s so cute! We have to sleep in bunk beds, and my bunkmate snores louder than a dragon! I wish you were here. Miss you!

–XOXO, Emma
