I asked her who he was and she explained to me. It made my skin crawl and bubble. And the effects weren’t permanent. From then on I started devising a list of people I may want to try on and ways of getting a lock of hair. Plus she had a boyfriend – Douglas. I decided to cut and bottle it – that way I could have more fun than a one-time only deal. I had tried to escalate some of those females to girlfriend status, but I was unsuccessful. Then other things like robbery, beating up the bully at school, becoming a bodybuilder for a day. I occasionally got some experiments close – I managed a puff of smoke or two once or twice. Maybe I did have some ‘magic’ in me after all. Same rules applied – currency conversion and home delivery. And I wasn’t a true squib either. I mainly swept the floor and done some gofer jobs. Then one year, my sister came flying into my room – “Harry potter is at Hogwarts!”
