Back to BasicsMiss Hardbroom is horrified to find Mona using a battery operated food processor in class and decides her pupils' lives are far too easy. She institutes a "back to basics" regime, and Miss Cackle is happy to go along with the plan and save the school money. The teachers spend the saving on a waffle maker for the Staff Room but Miss Swoop accidentally causes the machine to explode and blow a huge hole in the ceiling. To pay for the repairs they must tighten their belts still further. Meanwhile, Belladonna has made a Witch Pox potion and infects first Dyllis, then Horrocks, and finally Miss Widget with the fatal disease. Even Miss Hardbroom can't cure the victims without the right ingredients, until Cressie and Hettie save the day again. - The Friendship TestE7

As usual, Hettie thinks she knows better and her interventions land them both into big trouble with Miss Hardbroom. The whole school is told to support their team in the inter school football finals, but Mona hasn't finished tidying the library. She casts an enchantment spell on the books with terrible consequences, but at least it gives Cressie a chance to rescue Belladonna. - King Kong KittieE8

But, Belladonna sees his visit as the perfect opportunity to finally get rid of Hettie's annoying dog, Kittie. She prepares a potion, which Kittie greedily devours and he starts to grow at an alarming rate. Very soon he is 40 foot high and still growing! Hettie needs to think (and talk) fast to keep her giant pet hidden from Hardbroom and the Inspector. As usual, Hettie is determined to be the best witch that the academy has ever seen, with a little help from her friends, Mona Hallow and Cressie Winterchild of course. There's two witches standing in their way however, arch rival enemy Belladonna Bindweed and teaching tyrant Miss Hardbroom. - The Odd CoupleE13

Cressie tells her not to worry, her Mum always used a special lullaby to stop her snoring at home. That night Hettie takes out the spell and holds it under her candle.

But when Hettie wakes the following morning that's exactly what she finds!
