Chapter 1
It was the night before Halloween. Apprentices were having their magic tested to turn a frog into a fish. I sighed as my frog turned into a bunny rabbit.
"I can never do anything right." I grumbled to my best friend Leah.
" I'm sure you'll do something right," comforted Leah.
"I sure hope so." I said
" Ariadne why haven't you got a fish swimming round your tank." Miss Hartfield shouted. Miss Hartfield does shout but she is one of the nicest teachers in this school.
"Sorry Miss, I'm having a bit of trouble with my frog. which is now a bunny.What spell do I use miss?"
" Here let me do it." said Miss Hartfield.
" Bunny into frog, let it be,open my eyes and a frog it should be!"
"Thanks Miss."
Unfortunately the frog escaped, causing Petal( Leah's sister) to scream and run around the classroom.
Leah and I walked home after the disturbance in magic class.
"I hope I never hear of that again." I said
" You never know Ariadne. Some people might just tease you."
"How is that meant to comfort me!" I exclaimed." Sshh here's my brother."
" Hi Ariadne what happened to your frog!" said my brother, Robert, said with his best friend laughing.
I blushed and turned away crimson red.
"Come on Ariadne lets leave these boys with their own technical problems." Leah said.
"Yeah we are leaving!" I exclaimed.
"I'm home mum." I yelled across the kitchen counter. I ran up to my room and switched on my laptop. I ran through my files and discovered one that wasn't created by me. I sat puzzled until I got a theory of what might have happened. Just to make sure I double-clicked onto the file and found sheets full of magic instructions sent by Miss Hartfield.
As I heard my mums footsteps coming up the stairs I slammed my laptop shut so that my mum couldn't see, for after all she doesn't know I am a witch in training.
"Did you have a good day at school darling" mum said fondling my head gently.
"Fine thanks mum."I said pushing her hand away.
"Anyway come on downstairs for dinner."
