Wendy Wobblewand and the Bonkers Brew 🧙‍♀️✨

At the end of Wobble Street lives a witch with a bent wand, socks that never match, and a reputation for potions that are far too sparkly for polite magical society. Wendy Wobblewand has tried doing magic properly. Measuring carefully. Following rules exactly as written. Keeping ingredients in alphabetical order. Maintaining eyebrow positions at all times. Behaving like a serious witch should.

It did not go well. In fact, it went spectacularly badly in ways that are still being discussed at the annual Witches Guild meetings with concerned head shaking.

So on one moonlit evening, Wendy decides she is done with neat. She is done with proper. She is done with trying to make magic behave like a chemistry experiment when it clearly wants to be something else entirely. She is going to brew magic the way she believes it should be made. With curiosity, confidence, and a cheerful disregard for official magical standards that would make her instructors faint.

The cauldron is warmed. The fire crackles with what sounds suspiciously like approval. The ingredients arrive in a wobbling parade, some hopping, some rolling, one doing a little dance across the kitchen counter. The wooden spoon begins to hum like it is pleased with itself for the first time in years. And then an unexpected helper appears, right when Wendy is one wrong sprinkle away from turning the whole kitchen into a very polite puddle.

From there, everything gets fizzier. Because this is not the sort of potion that sits quietly and behaves like a textbook illustration. This is the sort of bonkers brew that reacts to feelings, opinions, and the general idea that rules might be slightly overrated. It bubbles when Wendy doubts herself. It sparkles when she dares to be brave. It does something very strange indeed when she finally decides that being odd might not be a problem that needs fixing.

The cauldron glows. The kitchen fills with colours that do not have proper names yet. The potion begins to sing, which is absolutely not in any instruction manual Wendy has ever read. And somewhere in the chaos, Wendy discovers that the best magic does not come from following every rule perfectly. It comes from trusting yourself, even when yourself is wearing mismatched socks and wielding a wand that bends left when it should go straight.
