0:00:36 > 0:00:38EXPLOSION

0:00:39 > 0:00:41THEY COUGH

0:00:45 > 0:00:46'Enid Nightshade.'

0:00:47 > 0:00:50Maud Spellbody.

0:00:50 > 0:00:51Mildred Hubble.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58How fortunate that tonight is parents' evening.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03I shall be speaking to all of your parents

0:01:03 > 0:01:05personally.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10Well, at least she didn't make us clean this up.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13And clean this up!

0:01:17 > 0:01:20I'll just have to ask my dad to make a bigger donation than usual now.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22It won't make any difference.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24My mum's already expecting it to be terrible.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26Well, my parents aren't.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28And they're not rich, either.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30They can't just buy their way out of a bad report.

0:01:31 > 0:01:32Loving the new look, girls.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34THEY GIGGLE

0:01:35 > 0:01:37You're year head.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40You're giving the closing address later.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42They won't be upset over one little mistake.

0:01:42 > 0:01:46One? What about the time I failed my flying test?

0:01:46 > 0:01:47That was my fault, really.

0:01:47 > 0:01:48The time I got you turned into a frog?

0:01:48 > 0:01:50I got me turned into a frog.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52Now I've blown up the potions lab.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55I mixed up my wool of bat with my eye of newt.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57Every teacher's going to have it in for me tonight.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00Even if they do, so what?

0:02:00 > 0:02:01Your parents'll get over it.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04You really don't know them.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Hello!- Hello!- Hello!

0:02:07 > 0:02:09You've got the mirror the wrong way round.

0:02:09 > 0:02:10I told you.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12You told me that way.

0:02:12 > 0:02:13No, the other way.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17Honestly, Maud, he's hopeless with magic.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19I can't be brilliant at everything, can I?

0:02:19 > 0:02:20Unlike my daughter!

0:02:20 > 0:02:22HE LAUGHS

0:02:22 > 0:02:24We're all set for tonight.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Your mother can't wait to see Cackle's again.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29It's the first time she's been there since she was a pupil.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31THEY LAUGH

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Oh, which reminds me,

0:02:33 > 0:02:36cleared a space for your Year 1 Witching Certificate.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40Yeah, about that, Mum...

0:02:40 > 0:02:43We can't WAIT to find out what you've been getting up to.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Bye.- Bye.- Love you!

0:02:47 > 0:02:49- Love you!- Bye!- Sending you a cake! - Bye!

0:02:50 > 0:02:52HE LAUGHS

0:02:56 > 0:02:57I feel bad for Maud.

0:02:58 > 0:03:02She'd never have been in trouble if she hadn't made friends with me.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05She'd never have had any good times, either.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07I should go and watch the door.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10My mum will be the only one not arriving by broomstick.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12She's walking up the mountain?!

0:03:12 > 0:03:16Don't you think she's trying a little too hard not to be a witch?

0:03:16 > 0:03:20OK, I know I said she might have had some secret witchy past,

0:03:20 > 0:03:22but it doesn't make sense.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24I'd know.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27Witches are very good at hiding their magic, Millie.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31My mum isn't even good at hiding my birthday presents.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Top of the wardrobe, every single year.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Better go and see if she's here.

0:03:37 > 0:03:38What's up, Maud?

0:03:39 > 0:03:41MAUD SIGHS

0:03:45 > 0:03:46I can't do it to them.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49I can't let my parents find out

0:03:49 > 0:03:51what a boil and bubble I've made of everything.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Well, you'll have to.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57Unless you're going to use some serious pirated magic

0:03:57 > 0:03:59to fix everything.

0:03:59 > 0:04:00And that's not very you, is it?

0:04:02 > 0:04:04MAUD SIGHS

0:04:04 > 0:04:06You don't approve of pirated magic.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10But, if I did...

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Forgetting powder.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Forgetting powder?

0:04:19 > 0:04:23When it works, it can get you out of very sticky situations.

0:04:23 > 0:04:27I was glad I had it when you caught me copying out all of your homework.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30I don't remember that!

0:04:30 > 0:04:31Exactly.

0:04:35 > 0:04:39Forgetting powder is very unpredictable.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41Are you sure you want to do this?

0:04:55 > 0:04:57She's here! My mother's here.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00You sound surprised.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03I'm not surprised. I never had any doubt.

0:05:03 > 0:05:07Are you saying my mother's only interested in Esmerelda's education?

0:05:09 > 0:05:10No?

0:05:10 > 0:05:12- No.- Good.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17- Well met, Mother.- Well met, Ethel.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19How delightful to be here.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21I saved you this.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24I'll pass, thank you.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26I've got to fit into the ceremonial robes

0:05:26 > 0:05:28for Esme's prizegiving, after all.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31Shall we go, darling?

0:05:36 > 0:05:38Miss Drill?

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Miss Drill?

0:05:43 > 0:05:45You haven't seen my mum, have you?

0:05:46 > 0:05:49Oh, yes, she's...she's over there, speaking to...

0:05:51 > 0:05:52..to Mr Nightshade.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57My PA just booked us into a volcano cave.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59They are THE next big witch holiday destination.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Would you mind signing this for me?

0:06:05 > 0:06:08Caves are so expensive during the school holidays, though.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11We may have to stay at home this year.

0:06:11 > 0:06:12What about you, Joy?

0:06:14 > 0:06:18Well, I'm thinking of investing in a mobile cave.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20I mean, your familiars can come with you,

0:06:20 > 0:06:23so you don't have to pay for a magic-friendly cattery or anything,

0:06:23 > 0:06:25which is a bonus. And...

0:06:25 > 0:06:28- Mum?- Oh, Mildred, didn't see you there.

0:06:28 > 0:06:29- All right?- Hi, Dad.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Enid!

0:06:31 > 0:06:33Your mum's stuck at the manicurist.

0:06:33 > 0:06:34But don't worry, I am pumped to defend you

0:06:34 > 0:06:36of whatever you've done wrong this time.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38We have to see Miss Hardbroom.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40I feel an expensive night coming on.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Right, who have we got first?

0:06:46 > 0:06:47This way, is it?

0:06:52 > 0:06:54What is keeping Maud?

0:06:56 > 0:06:57Yes!

0:07:01 > 0:07:03Flying certificate.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07Frog transformation homework.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09What else do I need to add, Midnight?

0:07:16 > 0:07:17Oh, let's just say...

0:07:19 > 0:07:22..everything I've done since I've got here.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26Every potion I mixed wrong, every daft thing I said in class.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29Every test I didn't come top of.

0:07:31 > 0:07:32MIDNIGHT MEOWS

0:07:36 > 0:07:38When this powder you intake,

0:07:38 > 0:07:40forget my every witch mistake.

0:07:44 > 0:07:45MIDNIGHT MEOWS

0:08:00 > 0:08:02CHIMES TINKLE

0:08:04 > 0:08:06From HB?

0:08:07 > 0:08:08"See me."

0:08:08 > 0:08:10It hasn't worked, Midnight.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13Oh, there she is!

0:08:13 > 0:08:16- Hey!- Hi, Mum, Dad.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22Hey, this was my corridor, you know?

0:08:22 > 0:08:24I mean, obviously, it's changed a lot since then.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27It's... It's so modern now!

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Oh, if I'd had the opportunities that young witches have today,

0:08:30 > 0:08:33I might have got a lot farther.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36Can you tell how much your mother's been looking forward to this?

0:08:36 > 0:08:37Come here.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47No biggie. All we have to do is buy new potion-lab equipment.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51Miss Hardbroom thinks she's a big deal, but she doesn't scare me.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53- I'm out of here.- Dad!

0:08:54 > 0:08:56The Spellbodys.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58Enter.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06What's the spell for ground opening up below you, again?

0:09:07 > 0:09:08Oh, you'll be all right.

0:09:08 > 0:09:09SHE SIGHS

0:09:11 > 0:09:13The forgetting powder didn't work.

0:09:13 > 0:09:14What forgetting powder?

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Very funny, I don't think.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23It was necessary to see you this evening,

0:09:23 > 0:09:26not only as your daughter's potions teacher

0:09:26 > 0:09:29but as deputy head.

0:09:30 > 0:09:31This is because...

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Strange.

0:09:35 > 0:09:36I...

0:09:38 > 0:09:42..can't remember why it was necessary.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44I can't think of a time when she's been on the losing side.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47She really is an exemplary sports witch.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51But right now,

0:09:51 > 0:09:54I can't recall...

0:09:54 > 0:09:58Not one occasion did I have to correct her chanting

0:09:58 > 0:10:00or remark on her tempo.

0:10:00 > 0:10:04She has been note-perfect all term.

0:10:04 > 0:10:08A flawless understanding of animal physiognomy.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11I only wish the other girls were more like Maud.

0:10:13 > 0:10:15So...

0:10:15 > 0:10:17Maud must be doing very well?

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Very well indeed?

0:10:24 > 0:10:26So, if we survive HB,

0:10:26 > 0:10:28we have spell science next.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32Then flying.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34Then advanced chanting.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37I thought advanced chanting was Year 2?

0:10:37 > 0:10:39It is.

0:10:39 > 0:10:40But how would you know that?

0:10:42 > 0:10:44Millie!

0:10:44 > 0:10:45Excuse us one moment.

0:10:48 > 0:10:49It's like a dream!

0:10:49 > 0:10:54The teachers didn't even mention the flying test, the frog.

0:10:54 > 0:10:55Not even the explosion.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58Sorry, what are you talking about?

0:10:59 > 0:11:02I got hold of some forgetting powder

0:11:02 > 0:11:04to make everyone forget my mistakes.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07Please don't get mad. It worked.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10It really, really worked.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13OK, but I don't know why you're telling me this.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16I can't remember you ever speaking to me before.

0:11:16 > 0:11:17You can't remember?

0:11:18 > 0:11:21I'm pleased you're having a good parents' evening.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26Mildred Hubble.

0:11:44 > 0:11:45She's forgotten me.

0:11:47 > 0:11:48Of course she has!

0:11:48 > 0:11:51What does everyone think my biggest mistake at Cackle's is?

0:11:54 > 0:11:56Making friends with Mildred Hubble.

0:12:01 > 0:12:05Week four, transformed fellow pupil into pig.

0:12:05 > 0:12:12Week five, embarrassed entire school in front of the great wizard.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15In several ways.

0:12:15 > 0:12:16Week six...

0:12:16 > 0:12:19I'm sorry. This is all very well,

0:12:19 > 0:12:22but I don't really see the relevance...

0:12:22 > 0:12:26Miss Hubble, as an... ordinary person...

0:12:26 > 0:12:30I realise you are not acquainted with the Witches' Code.

0:12:30 > 0:12:34- However...- Oh, section 2, subsection C, perhaps?

0:12:34 > 0:12:37The bit about senior witches having a duty of care for junior witches?

0:12:38 > 0:12:41Doesn't sound as though that's what's happened here.

0:12:41 > 0:12:46We are talking about a complete lack of magical control.

0:12:46 > 0:12:47You see, the way I read it,

0:12:47 > 0:12:51the Code is mainly about not deliberately harming others,

0:12:51 > 0:12:56using magic for personal gain or publicly exposing other witches.

0:12:56 > 0:13:00So, which rule has Mildred actually broken?

0:13:02 > 0:13:04Right, well, if there's nothing else,

0:13:04 > 0:13:06I think we have other appointments to get to.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09Mum, since when did you know about the Witches' Code?

0:13:09 > 0:13:13Sorry. I like to be invisible on parents' evening.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15Keep a discreet eye on things, you know?

0:13:16 > 0:13:17I'll take it from here.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25I realise Miss Hardbroom can be a little brusque.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27- You could say that.- However,

0:13:27 > 0:13:31I'm forced to admit that she may have a point.

0:13:31 > 0:13:32Sorry?

0:13:33 > 0:13:36I have been in two minds about this,

0:13:36 > 0:13:41but blowing up the potion lab today was the final straw.

0:13:42 > 0:13:47I also feel that Mildred Hubble has not really found her feet.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51Perhaps, if she had a friend to guide her...

0:13:51 > 0:13:55- She's got Enid.- The right kind of friend, a steadying influence,

0:13:55 > 0:13:57things might be different.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59But she hasn't connected with anyone like that.

0:14:00 > 0:14:04I'm afraid everything she's touched has turned to disaster.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Now, I've been through this once.

0:14:07 > 0:14:08No, Mum.

0:14:10 > 0:14:11She's right.

0:14:14 > 0:14:15I don't belong here.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Sorry, Dad.- Second-worst witch.

0:14:21 > 0:14:22Wait till I tell your mother.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24Enid, it's terrible!

0:14:24 > 0:14:27Mildred's forgotten that we're friends.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29You're telling me this why?

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Don't say you've forgotten, too?

0:14:32 > 0:14:34This is a little bit weird, so...

0:14:34 > 0:14:37You gave me some pirated forgetting powder

0:14:37 > 0:14:39so that I'd have a perfect parents' evening.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41Sounds like something I'd do.

0:14:43 > 0:14:44Look.

0:14:45 > 0:14:46My handwriting.

0:14:49 > 0:14:50How do I reverse the magic?

0:14:52 > 0:14:53I don't know.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56I'm not losing my best friend.

0:14:57 > 0:14:58You're going to help.

0:15:00 > 0:15:01I'll get you a magic tutor.

0:15:03 > 0:15:04We'll apply to a different academy.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06Why didn't you tell me you were a witch?

0:15:06 > 0:15:08What makes you think I'm a witch?

0:15:08 > 0:15:10I heard you with the other parents.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12And only witches know the Witches' Code.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14All this time, you've been hiding it from me. Why?

0:15:14 > 0:15:16Mildred...

0:15:17 > 0:15:19If I'd have had the same start in life as the rest of the girls,

0:15:19 > 0:15:21maybe I wouldn't be leaving.

0:15:26 > 0:15:28- MAUD AND ENID:- Millie!

0:15:28 > 0:15:30I don't have time for this nonsense right now.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33I need to have one last look around before I go forever.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35- What?- Forever?

0:15:35 > 0:15:37Miss Cackle said it herself.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40I don't fit in, and I don't have a role model, and she...

0:15:40 > 0:15:43- She's right.- What does she mean?

0:15:43 > 0:15:44You have me!

0:15:44 > 0:15:46A POSITIVE role model, Enid.

0:15:46 > 0:15:47Oh.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50Oh, no, this is all my fault!

0:15:50 > 0:15:52How can it be? I hardly know you.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54But you do. We're...

0:15:54 > 0:15:55best friends.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00The girl who's never made a mistake, best friends with the worst witch?

0:16:00 > 0:16:01Tell her.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07I may have given her a forgetting powder.

0:16:07 > 0:16:08The explosion at lunchtime.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10We were all there.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12No, that was just me and Enid.

0:16:13 > 0:16:16OK. How did you get to Cackle's in the first place?

0:16:16 > 0:16:17Well, I...

0:16:19 > 0:16:21I'm blanking on it at the moment.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26I crash-landed onto your balcony. How can you not even remember that?

0:16:26 > 0:16:28What does it matter how I arrived here, anyway?

0:16:28 > 0:16:30I'm not a pupil here any more.

0:16:39 > 0:16:40There's only one thing for it.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43I've got to tell the truth.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45That'll get you thrown out!

0:16:45 > 0:16:48I don't care what happens to me if it saves Mildred.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50It'll also get ME thrown out.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54I'd be banned from every witching academy in the land.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57Every witching academy?

0:16:57 > 0:17:00You didn't tell me it was THAT big of an offence.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03There's got to be some other way.

0:17:08 > 0:17:13Yes, Ethel continues to perform impressively in every subject.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16What about extracurricular activities, Miss Cackle?

0:17:16 > 0:17:18You must tell Mother about those.

0:17:18 > 0:17:23Oh, yes. Ethel takes part in many out-of-hours activities.

0:17:23 > 0:17:28Invisible netball, instrumentless orchestra, hat-making club.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31In fact, she's the only member of that one.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34Get back to your room, Sybil.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42That... That is wonderful news.

0:17:42 > 0:17:46Mother, why are you talking to my little sister?

0:17:46 > 0:17:48My little sister who is at home?

0:17:48 > 0:17:50Don't fret about it, darling.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52Now, who are we seeing next?

0:17:52 > 0:17:53Miss Bat, is it?

0:17:53 > 0:17:55You're not here, are you, Mother?

0:17:55 > 0:17:57Oh, of course I'm here.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59We're looking at each other, aren't we?

0:18:02 > 0:18:05OK. No.

0:18:05 > 0:18:06I'm not here.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08A projection spell, Mother?

0:18:08 > 0:18:12How could you? You couldn't even be bothered making the trip.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14Oh, come now, darling. I will be here next month...

0:18:14 > 0:18:16For Esmerelda's prizegiving.

0:18:16 > 0:18:20We know that. You wouldn't miss Esmerelda's night for the world!

0:18:20 > 0:18:22Maud Spellbody, do you mind?

0:18:22 > 0:18:24What do you want, Miss Perfect?

0:18:24 > 0:18:26I suppose YOUR mother's super proud of you.

0:18:28 > 0:18:29Thank you, Miss Cackle.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33What is the meaning of bursting in?

0:18:33 > 0:18:36Miss Cackle, I heard that Mildred Hubble is leaving.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38Sadly, she has chosen that path.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40I'd like to volunteer to help her.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44You, help Mildred Hubble?

0:18:44 > 0:18:46To keep her on the straight and narrow.

0:18:46 > 0:18:47I'm just what she needs.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50Well, thank you for that kind offer.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52It's no less than I'd expect from you.

0:18:52 > 0:18:57However, I can't remember ever seeing the two of you together.

0:18:57 > 0:18:58I can't imagine how you'd get on.

0:18:58 > 0:19:00We'd make great friends.

0:19:00 > 0:19:01Honestly.

0:19:02 > 0:19:05We wouldn't want to mar your impressive academic record

0:19:05 > 0:19:09with Mildred Hubble's penchant for disaster, would we?

0:19:13 > 0:19:14Mildred Hubble has quit?

0:19:14 > 0:19:16It didn't work.

0:19:16 > 0:19:17Mildred's still leaving?

0:19:17 > 0:19:19It's obvious what you do.

0:19:19 > 0:19:20The same thing I did when

0:19:20 > 0:19:22I had forgetting-powder accidents at school.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25- Dad!- Raid the first-aid cupboard for remembering powder.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29This is our last chance to save Millie.

0:19:29 > 0:19:30- Come on! - DOOR CREAKS

0:19:30 > 0:19:32SOMEONE HUMS

0:19:35 > 0:19:36HE STOPS HUMMING

0:19:46 > 0:19:50Mm! That's what I love about this school. The snacks.

0:19:51 > 0:19:52HE BURPS

0:19:52 > 0:19:53I will never get used to that.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57Quick. Like your dad said, first-aid cupboard.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00CLATTERING

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Quietly!

0:20:03 > 0:20:05GLASS SMASHES

0:20:11 > 0:20:12Go, go, go!

0:20:16 > 0:20:18There's only a tiny bit.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22Just enough for one go.

0:20:25 > 0:20:26SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

0:20:26 > 0:20:28To this powder all will surrender...

0:20:28 > 0:20:29Can you make my mum remember?

0:20:29 > 0:20:31Millie, no!

0:20:31 > 0:20:33Mildred, I've looked everywhere for you.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42Oh, I remember where the car keys are,

0:20:42 > 0:20:44I remember the code for the alarm...

0:20:44 > 0:20:46I remember where I put those fishcakes!

0:20:46 > 0:20:48Oh, the car boot's going to stink a bit.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50But what about being a witch?

0:20:50 > 0:20:53Oh, I've told you, Mildred. I'm not a witch.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56But the chat with the other parents, the Witches' Code?

0:20:56 > 0:20:57Yeah...

0:20:57 > 0:20:59As for the small talk, well,

0:20:59 > 0:21:02I just wanted to fit in with the other parents.

0:21:02 > 0:21:03And the Code?

0:21:03 > 0:21:06Well, this school might be different in lots of ways,

0:21:06 > 0:21:08but it's exactly the same as all the others

0:21:08 > 0:21:10with all the stuff it sends out to parents.

0:21:10 > 0:21:14Diary dates, school-uniform lists, dinner menus.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17And the Witches' Code.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20You're always telling me to be proud of who I am,

0:21:20 > 0:21:22not to pretend to be someone that I'm not.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24Yes. I know.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26Sorry.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28I just didn't want to embarrass you.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31Didn't want to be the worst mum.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33- MR NIGHTSHADE: - I'm not seeing smiles.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39I blew it. Well, she blew it.

0:21:39 > 0:21:40You realise that this girl is responsible

0:21:40 > 0:21:43for your daughter leaving the school?

0:21:43 > 0:21:45All because she didn't want to disappoint her parents.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47I know.

0:21:47 > 0:21:48I have to admit to what I've done.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52Whatever the consequences.

0:21:52 > 0:21:53That won't make people remember.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55They'll know you used forgetting powder,

0:21:55 > 0:21:57but the memories won't suddenly come back.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59How do I get them to remember?

0:22:01 > 0:22:02Don't worry, Maud.

0:22:03 > 0:22:04We all make mistakes.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08No-one's made a mistake as big as this.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11Hey, I've made plenty bigger.

0:22:14 > 0:22:15That's it!

0:22:18 > 0:22:21The mistakes you've made, Maud, they're just not big enough.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23They're not?

0:22:23 > 0:22:26Surely, if you were to do something truly disastrous,

0:22:26 > 0:22:28then no-one would be able to forget it.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30Even with forgetting powder.

0:22:30 > 0:22:31It would break the spell.

0:22:31 > 0:22:36But how am I going to make a huge mistake that everyone knows about

0:22:36 > 0:22:37before the end of the day?

0:22:39 > 0:22:41SHE GASPS

0:22:41 > 0:22:42Whether it's been good or bad,

0:22:42 > 0:22:47I'm sure we will all be working to improve our performance next term.

0:22:47 > 0:22:48Maud!

0:22:48 > 0:22:49Where did you go?

0:22:49 > 0:22:53I'm really sorry for what's about to happen, Mum, Dad.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55All that's left now

0:22:55 > 0:22:59is for me to hand over to our wonderful year head,

0:22:59 > 0:23:01Maud Spellbody.

0:23:01 > 0:23:02APPLAUSE

0:23:13 > 0:23:15SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

0:23:15 > 0:23:17Er... Well met.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21Um, to start, I'd like to...

0:23:23 > 0:23:25..thank a few people.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32But I can't do that because I do not deserve to be up here.

0:23:34 > 0:23:35I messed up.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38I used forgetting powder on all of you

0:23:38 > 0:23:40to make sure I got good reports tonight.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42Yes! Year head is mine!

0:23:42 > 0:23:44And I did get them.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47But I lost a friend.

0:23:48 > 0:23:50And now, I need you to remember.

0:23:51 > 0:23:54I need all of you to remember that...

0:23:55 > 0:23:58..Mildred Hubble and I are friends,

0:23:58 > 0:24:00and that is not a mistake.

0:24:02 > 0:24:03This...

0:24:03 > 0:24:06on the other hand, is a mistake.

0:24:06 > 0:24:07What's she doing?

0:24:07 > 0:24:10A very, very big...

0:24:10 > 0:24:12Oh, no!

0:24:12 > 0:24:13..mistake.

0:24:15 > 0:24:16Oh, no!

0:24:16 > 0:24:19Tell me that's not the potion we mixed at lunchtime.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22It's the potion we mixed at lunchtime.

0:24:22 > 0:24:23CAT MEOWS

0:24:23 > 0:24:25EXPLOSION

0:24:28 > 0:24:30THEY COUGH

0:24:31 > 0:24:33Did it work?

0:24:33 > 0:24:35Did it... Did it lift the spell?

0:24:36 > 0:24:37Maud Spellbody.

0:24:38 > 0:24:42Miss Cackle's office, now.

0:24:42 > 0:24:47And Mildred Hubble, and Enid Nightshade.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50Always in it together.

0:24:50 > 0:24:54You remember! It worked!

0:24:54 > 0:24:58Failed flying tests, accidental frog transformations,

0:24:58 > 0:25:00blown-up potions labs.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02And now...

0:25:02 > 0:25:05Could I check, my daughter is the SECOND-worst witch again, isn't she?

0:25:05 > 0:25:07She won't be a witch at all!

0:25:07 > 0:25:10After today's outrage, they should all be thrown out.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13I find it hard to disagree.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18Your money won't help this time, Mr Nightshade.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23Did you not hear me, Mr Spellbody?

0:25:23 > 0:25:25Ah.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27Thing is, Miss Hardbroom,

0:25:27 > 0:25:29I don't have that much spare cash,

0:25:29 > 0:25:32so I wasn't actually offering.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37Though this may not all delight,

0:25:37 > 0:25:40you lot forget about tonight.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55Why are you all still here?

0:25:55 > 0:25:58Oh... Did I offer you tea?

0:25:58 > 0:26:00THEY LAUGH

0:26:00 > 0:26:01- Yay!- Yes!

0:26:03 > 0:26:05I always carry some of that stuff with me.

0:26:05 > 0:26:08You never know when you're going to need it.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10Dad, you fixed everything.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12I rather think I did.

0:26:12 > 0:26:13Anyone want an autograph?

0:26:13 > 0:26:15HE LAUGHS

0:26:15 > 0:26:18- I'm staying!- We're all staying!

0:26:24 > 0:26:26I'm sorry, Mum.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28I would never hide anything from you.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30Well, maybe your birthday presents.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32You still don't know where they're kept, do you?

0:26:32 > 0:26:33SHE CHUCKLES

0:26:33 > 0:26:38Mum, if my magic doesn't come from you, where does it come from?

0:26:39 > 0:26:42Well, I'm sure you'll work that out for yourself some day.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46Till then, you've just got to believe

0:26:46 > 0:26:48that you are good enough to be here.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50And so do you, Mum.

0:26:51 > 0:26:52The best mum.

0:26:53 > 0:26:57I know you've seen a different side of me this evening.

0:26:57 > 0:26:59Yes.

0:27:00 > 0:27:01We have.

0:27:02 > 0:27:06And we are more proud of you than ever.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09Standing up in front of everyone to admit what you'd done?

0:27:09 > 0:27:12That takes real guts, Maud.

0:27:12 > 0:27:16But aren't you massively disappointed in me?

0:27:16 > 0:27:18What about all the stupid mistakes I've made since I've come here?

0:27:18 > 0:27:23Maud, why do you think I carry that powder?

0:27:23 > 0:27:24THEY LAUGH

0:27:26 > 0:27:28Mistakes are how you learn.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30Mistakes are a sign that you tried.

0:27:30 > 0:27:32And you never stop trying.

0:27:32 > 0:27:33That's what makes you...

0:27:34 > 0:27:35..you.

0:27:37 > 0:27:41Hey, you know what this calls for, don't you?

0:27:41 > 0:27:43- A family shot for the wall! - Shot for the wall!

0:27:43 > 0:27:45THEY LAUGH
