Queek. A little croak came from the cage on the floor.
"Teddy!" cried Annie. "We almost forgot you!" said Jack.
Queek, Teddy croaked again.
"Let me change him back," Annie said to Jack.
"Okay, but let me get out of the way first," said Jack.He handed Annie the hazel twig.Then he quickly stepped over to the window.
Annie moved closer to Teddy's cage.She closed her eyes and thought for a moment.Then she waved the wand over the cage and said:
"O hazel twig from hazel tree! Make him Teddy! Set him free!"
There was a mighty roar, a blast of heat, and a blaze of light!Then the cage was gone, and Teddy was a boy again, sitting on the floor.
"Yay!" said Annie. "Nicely done," said Teddy. "Thanks."
"Welcome back!" said Jack. He and Annie helped Teddy stand up.
Teddy shook his arms and legs. "Ah! 'Tis good to be human again!" he said."And now we must help the duke's family. Where's the diamond?" "We lost it!" said Annie.
"Yeah, I had it in my beak," said Jack."But I must have dropped it when Annie changed us back into ourselves."
"Don't worry," said Teddy, "it must be here somewhere."
The three of them got on their hands and knees and started crawling around the floor of the nursery.But there was no sign of the diamond. Suddenly Jack heard Teddy gasp.
"Oh, my," Teddy whispered. "Look." He was staring at the corner.
The Diamond of Destiny was rising from the basket of wool by the spinning wheel.
"The ghost girl must have hidden it when the Raven King came!" whispered Annie.
The diamond moved slowly toward Jack and stopped in front of him.Jack held out his hand, and the diamond settled into his palm.
"Thank you," Jack said to the ghost girl. "I'll put it back in its place now."
Carefully holding the diamond, Jack crossed the room.Annie pulled the tapestry aside, and Jack opened the golden door of the cabinet.
He looked one last time at the shining stone."I really felt brave when I was carrying this diamond," he said softly.
"Jack," said Annie, "you were pretty brave just now without it." "Indeed you were," said Teddy.
