Spontaneous Magic

Accidental magic is a problem for all young wizards and witches, especially when they are distressed or scared. Freak despairs at age five because no one notices him or cares for him. When he is taken from his cupboard and knows 'Aunt Tuna' and 'Unc Vern' plan to desert him at a hospital, the small boy's fear causes his magic to react spontaneously.
