Aunt Zelda is the mysterious family member of the Heap's that lives in the woods. Both a boggart and an invisibility spell cast over her house for protection-as if something in the middle of Marram Marshes might come out to attack her. The thing is, there is not much in the marsh that can hurt you, so why Aunt Zelda does everything she can to stay protected is just a tad strange to me.
The woman seems like a lively being, with her outrageous dresses and interesting food. That potion closet of hers, I think, is the most mysterious out of all of Aunt Zelda's qualities. She seems to spend every waking moment of her time inside of it. No one seems to notice how much goes on in that closet, no one except Boy 412. He notices a lot of things, such as the fact that every morning, Aunt Zelda would take down two lanterns into the potion closet. He also noticed that one day, there was no light coming out from under the chipped door. being a curious boy, he went to see if he could find out what happened to the light. He opened the creaky door, just to find a trap door. This is another example of Aunt Zelda's mystery. Where it lead to, Boy 412 couldn't find out, since just then he heard the loud clank of her boots, coming from inside the trap door. There is something down there that Aunt Zelda can take a whole day on, and it is something that must be hidden.
