With assistance from Marie, I sort through the recycling and find as many empty transparent containers as I can. Including the empty bottles from the alcohol we find seven which is perfect. I use a bottle of vodka that I find shoved in the back of a cupboard and split it between the containers and instruct Marie to use some food dye to colour all the containers with different colours. She manages to use some strategic mixing to make a pretty decent rainbow. I top up the containers with water then carefully focus my magic to cast a basic lantern spell. It’s probably one of the first spells I learned as a kid. A lot of Witches learn it young, usually because they’re scared of the dark and it makes a great night light. The spell wears off in a few hours depending on how much magic you shove into it. I set these ones to last maybe four hours if we’re lucky. I don’t want to waste the energy on making them last longer than that, particularly since I’m making so many of them. The spell can be cast

outright, but without a base to attach it to the light disperses very quickly unless you

constantly feed magic into it. The alcohol in the containers should be an adequate base. The water might work, but I’m more familiar working with alcohol so I’d rather use it. Marie. watches in fascination as I recite the simple spell. I don’t make super bright lights, just a soft glow which looks really pretty with the food colouring in it. Again, I could change the colours

something that will do it for me? I cast the spells one by one and Marie puts the lids on the bottles tightly. Our work completed, we load up

our arms and take them to the living room. The look of delight and wonder on Kiara,

and honestly all of the adults‘ faces makes it absolutely worth the effort. I even help out by using the same glue spell that I used when Harry was delivering the potion to stick the bottles up on the fort ceiling. A few drops of alcohol and they’ll come down so it’s an easy enough clean up, but this way there’s not much chance of anyone knocking them over. It’s mor

just as beautiful as I was hoping. If I had more time and planned ahead I would have added glitter, or maybe designs on the bottles to cast some decorative shadows or something. But for a fifteen minute, whatever we could find in the kitchen at someone else’s house project? It turned

see her mark and it is definitely unlike anything I’ve ever seen before, but that doesn’t mean she is capable of doing what Harry claims she can do. It also doesn’t mean that she told him what he said she told him. That he and I are ‘fated‘ and so on. The idea just seems too outrageous.
