"How will I be able to sleep in my bed?" asked an upside-down Mildred, pointing to her bed, "My arms are beginning to ache." "We have to wait until teatime, Miss Hardbroom said," replied Luella. "It's so painful being able to stand upside down," sighed Mildred, "This is exactly why I hate Topsy Turvy Day, it's the most painful moment of your life to be a student." Then Ethel walked by on her hands, which instantly made both Mildred and Luella laugh. "I think Ethel can't stand being topsy-turvy, don't you?" giggled Mildred. "OMG, of course, she might find it unsatisfying, but we do not!" "You'll pay for this, Miss Hardbroom!" shouted Ethel, shaking her fist. Then came Maud, who was hilariously standing on her head as well - "Maud! Thank god, you're like me!" cried Mildred. "So you say," said Maud, "We can't eat anything properly, just wait until lunch, I think Miss Tapioca's struggling to make lunch upside down, too."
At lunchtime, the sandwiches were placed on the floor instead of the table. Luella stared at the worried students, who were unable to eat at any time at all. Sure they ate well at breakfast - gloopy porridge again - but this is serious, and all the students were just staring at their food, their hands on the dirty floor. "Something has to be done," remarked Luella, and marched up to Mildred, crawling under the table. She took a sandwich, and ordered Mildred to open her mouth. "Here comes the airplane!" she said, and moved the sandwich to Mildred's mouth. At once, she started eating, but when she tried to swallow, she just puked it back up again, all over Luella! Luella tried doing the same, but with every attempt the students puked up the sandwiches! "Every time!" shouted Luella as she stormed out of the dining hall.
Later, during potions class, the near sick students attempted to do spells with their feet! Luella had been watching all this, and decided to talk with Miss Hardbroom about the whole situation. She stormed into the office and alarmed Miss Cackle and Miss Hardbroom! "Oi! You two!" she shouted, "What have you done?! Topsy-Turvy Day isn't a very good idea after all. You've made my friend puke up her lunch and mess up spells! Put all the students the right way up again now!" "We didn't realize that," said Miss Cackle, "We've had this day for many years and no one ever had an accident." "Yes they did," said Luella, pounding her fist on the desk, "And I think such a day isn't suitable. You're harming your students, especially my friend Mildred, with your topsy-turvy spell, and I think such a day would be banned. Unless it would be banned, you'll continue to harm future students!" Miss Hardbroom's lips began to quiver. At once, she realized what she had done, and what the teachers of the past have done. She fell to her knees and began to weep. "Okay, okay, I'll apologise!"
At teatime, she gathered the students in the hall again. There was a long silence as Miss Hardbroom examined Luella and the upside down students. "Students...I'm very sorry for what I've done to you all. Topsy-Turvy Day is literally a bad idea, and because Luella saw you puke up your lunch and harm yourselves with your topsy-turvy spells, I have the sudden idea of banning Topsy Turvy Day forever." A loud cheer rose from the crowd of students as Miss Hardbroom took out the wand and Luella ran up onto the stage. "What's the backwards word for 'Topsy Turvy'?" she whispered to Luella. "Yvrut-Yspot." reminded Luella. Nodding wisely, Miss Hardbroom waved her wand six times and said, "Yvrut-Yspot. Yrvut-Yspot." WHOOSH! As the students were turned the right way up again, they shouted and laughed in desperate glee, and Luella ran into Mildred's arms as she, her friend and Maud engaged in a playful group hug. "Luella saved the day!" shouted one student, patting Luella on the back. "I sure did," said Luella, "Although...I do prefer getting around quicker on your hands." "Oh, Luella," laughed Mildred.
