School feels a bit less daunting now that Mitchy is by her side. However, even with a friend, Grumbalina isn’t particularly thrilled about class today. They “forgot” to practice their spells last night as instructed, and now she’s anxious about Ms. Plume testing students in front of the class—knowing her luck, she’ll be the first one called up. This isn’t the first time Grumbalina has had to rely on her instincts for her spells, but she’s unsure if her skills will come through for her this time. Will she make it through the day without any magical mishaps?
