FOOM!

The book suddenly snaps shut, causing the startled Keeper to jump back in surprise. Trembling, he watches as two satiny ribbons snake from the pages, wrap themselves around the leathery cover once, twice, three times, then tie themselves together in a bow.

From inside the book, the purr gets louder and louder. The roar shakes the Keeper's workshop, bouncing small vials from their homes on tall shelves to shatter on the floor below. In a spray of purple sparks, the book wobbles as its thick cover twists and bubbles. At last, at long last, it twitches and lies still.
