Chapter Eighteen

Back home, I changed out of my formal witch clothing into some comfortable old jeans and a T-shirt. I hadn’t worn them for long and they needed a good washing, so I wouldn’t be upset if they got ruined by cauldron work. Then I set about cleaning my cauldron, a task that took longer than I thought it should.

Also, to my surprise, Bethel now wanted to help with the experiments that Lowe and I were going to conduct. I told her that Professor Burger had said we must do them one at a time, but Bethel said she’d use her cauldron so that we could have two experiments going at once. She agreed we should use a corner of the pasture, far enough away so that if something went wrong the unicorns wouldn’t be impacted.

She hastened to add that we didn’t have to worry too much about their well-being. They were virtually indestructible anyhow.

“I wasn’t expecting anyone,” said our grandmother, already disappearing down the hall.

Lowe handed me another plate and I started to wash it. Spunk was sitting on the windowsill in front of me and appeared to be laughing at the menial labor we had to do.

Bethel came back into the kitchen a few moments later. “I was expecting this. It’s actually a little later than usual, but August is a quiet month. Jade, there’s a note for you.” She handed me a folded piece of paper

I rinsed off my hands, took the note, and opened it. There wasn’t much there, and I nearly crumpled it up and threw it into the fire. Then I thought I’d better not. What it said was:
