Inferno
The Deleted Scenes
One
(From Chapter Five)
"This is hopeless," said Maud, closing the book and resting her head on it. "We're never going to find anything in here. The library's full of spell books and ancient potion-making manuals; there's nothing in here that's remotely interesting enough to yield anything exciting about fighting demons."
"I know," agreed Ruby. "There's enough spaces on the shelves though, it looks like there are books missing. Perhaps they're the ones we need."
"Maybe Agatha magicked the useful books away when she transported the castle down to the ninth circle," suggested Enid. "You know, just to make our lives that little bit more difficult."
Maud sighed, her natural tendency towards pessimism not helping matters at this point, before an idea struck her.
"Agatha hasn't got the books," she said suddenly. "I know where they are." She left the library purposefully, her friends following along behind her, exchanging perplexed looks.
It was common knowledge amongst the older three years that if you wanted to know something about the school that was deemed by the teachers to be off-limits, you went to Fenny and Griz. Unfortunately the two most infamous pupils of Cackle's had graduated the previous summer, and so weren't on hand to answer queries, provide restricted access books and journals or assist in any illegal schemes. Fenella's room, however, lay empty, and Maud knew for a fact that Fenella was an avid collector of anything interesting that the library might have to offer. There was always the chance that she had left some of the most intriguing books under her bed away from the prying eyes of the teachers, who were always anxious to keep any books that the girls might use to spark a rebellion under lock and key.
Maud reached Fenella's room and cast a simple unlocking charm to open the door.
"Oh," she said. "That was... unexpected."
Fenella Feverfew and Grizelda Blackwood were sitting on the floor of the room drinking hot chocolate.
"Aren't you two supposed to be at Weirdsister?" asked Enid. Fenny and Griz exchanged sheepish looks.
"Well..." Griz began.
"We were... but..."
"Don't tell me, you got kicked out." Maud sighed.
"No!" exclaimed Fenny. "We weren't kicked out! We just felt it prudent to leave."
"Before we were kicked out," Griz added.
Maud and the others shook their heads in despair. Only Fenny and Griz would camp out in Cackle's...
Honestly, those two wouldn't last two minutes at university. Like my dad. Brilliant minds, but too much to distract them... Like experimental potions...
