Alice- Storing Power

‘Why’s the boggart being difficult?’ I asked as we walked across the grass.

‘Hard to be sure,’ Tom replied, ‘but there’s something strange brewing. It could be to do with what Alice has been up to. She’s been summoning more and more magic and storing it ready for her fight against Circe. Some nights there have been localized thunderstorms directly above the house and garden and the branches have crackled with sparks. Boggarts are sensitive and it’s made Kratch a little unreliable. Even though it knows you’re protected, I didn’t think it was safe to let you cross the garden alone.’
