He was trying to turn his pet frog, Croak, into a magical scarf. He had his spell book open, his wand ready, and a confident look on his face. “Alacazam!” he declared, a bit too loudly.Instead of a scarf, there was a puff of green smoke, and Croak was no longer a frog. In his place sat a slightly dusty, black top hat. The hat wobbled, then a tiny, reedy voice piped up, “Well, this is a peculiar predicament. I do believe I am a hat now.”Pip’s jaw dropped. “Croak?” he asked, nervously.“In the felt,” the hat replied, or rather, from somewhere deep inside the hat. “I must say, the view from up here is quite remarkable. Though I do miss hopping.”Pip was mortified. He had to fix this. He picked up the talking hat, which let out a little squeak of surprise. “We need to find a spell to turn you back!”“Nonsense!” the hat said. “I am quite comfortable. I feel so… distinguished! And this rim is excellent for catching small flying insects. Look!” The hat tilted, and a tiny fly buzzed right into it. “Dinner!”Pip, however, was determined. He found a reversal spell, carefully read every word, and waved his wand with precision. “Transmogrify back!”Another puff of smoke, and the hat was gone. In its place was a taller, shinier, and even more confident top hat. “Oh, splendid!” the new hat exclaimed. “I have a taller crown! I feel so much more… important.”Pip groaned. “Croak, you’re just a hat again! A bigger hat!”“A more stately hat, Pip,” the hat corrected. “There’s a difference. We can go on grander adventures now. Perhaps we can join a marching band!”Pip realized he wasn't going to get his frog back. He put the talking hat on his head. The hat settled comfortably and said, “Aha! A new perspective! Pip, my friend, the world is our oyster! Let’s go find a library. I feel a sudden desire for knowledge.”Pip couldn't help but smile. Having a talking hat wasn't so bad. It was a little embarrassing, but the hat was witty, and it gave surprisingly good advice. He was now a wizard with a very distinguished, and very talkative, hat.
