- She don't frighten me.

She can't even ride a proper broom.

Excuse me, Charles.

Filigree, apogee,

pedigree, perigee.

Oh, Charlie!

That's better than a toad!

That's a rabbit!

Bother! l never seem

to be able to manage toads.

Stop! Leave him alone!

- Don't let Charlie get hurt.

- My spells don't last very long.

l'm just an apprentice witch.

Look out, Charlie!

You flaming brute!

l'll teach you to do that to me!

Let Cosmic Creepers alone.

Weren't his fault.

l'm afraid it's my fault.

Bad enough not being able

to manage a broom.

l can't perform

a simple, basic spell.

You dared her to do it.

l don't see why we can't all be friends.

Maybe she's not a wicked witch.

Of course l'm not!

- See?

- lf only l could trust you.

You see, the work l'm doing

is so important to the war effort.

- How do you mean?

- l mean exceptionally important.

Most secret.

What do you say, Charlie?

We can keep a secret.

Yeah. lf someone

made it worth our while.

l don't follow.

Simple. You give us something

valuable to seal the pact.

Oh, Charlie,

don't try to be clever again.

lt's for our own protection,

ain't it?

lf we broke the pact, we'd have

to give back the valuable object.

l think it's an excellent idea.

l wonder what l could give you.

Would you settle for one of my spells?

Bet that's not worth much.

Come with me.

- l like you better as a rabbit.

- Shut up, you.

Well, l never had a rabbit.

Careful what you touch in here.

Rum sort of place, ain't it?

When l signed for my witchcraft

course there was a free bonus,

a marvellous travelling spell

if you paid in advance.

l think l'll give you that one.

- ls it valuable?

- Certainly.

Poisoned dragon's liver?

You mean you poison the dragon

or just the liver?

lt comes prepared.

lt's part of the school equipment.

Here we are. The travelling spell.

Everybody gather round.

All right now. Let's see.

Does any one of you have

a bracelet or a ring?

- Something that you can twist.

- No, Miss Price.

- What about you, Paul?

- Always carry a few things around.

Never know when they might come

in useful. Piece of blue glass.

Lovely bit of string.

Horseshoe nail.

What's that?

Knob from the bed upstairs.

- lt twists, don't it?

- Yeah. Twisted right off.

Yes, l think that will be all right.

Carrie, turn the light down

a little bit, will you?

Hellebore, henbane, aconite...

glow-worm fire, firefly light!

There. lsn't that pretty?

ls that all we get?

This knob will now work

the famous travelling spell.

And what's

the famous travelling spell?

- How does it work?

- You take this knob

and put it back on the bed upstairs.

Then turn it smartly
