The plan

"Hey! Stand aside! Can't you see people are trying to get in?"

The shrill voice shook me out of my stupor as I side stepped a running teenager. Behind him another teenager looked back and gave me the glare that all teenagers seemed to have perfected. I took a deep breathe and ideally thought if it was Edwin's way of telling me to suffer. Because right now in front of me stood the top tier Mystic School which looked more like a palace than a educational institution. And infront of the school all coloured students were milling around. Because wearing one coloured blazer was too shameful and dishonorable. They must represent their house and family . Atleast that's what I was told years ago.

Heaving a dry sigh I contemplated the merit of turning around and getting the hell out of here. But before I could act upon my desire, a voice shook me out of my reverie.

" La signora , excuse my impudence but are you the new professor?" The security guard asked me .

(Now don't get weirded out by the sudden use of Italian . It's a quite common practice among the Mystics as they lived for a long time and picked on a lot of languages. This Security Guard although a half Mystic lived way more than a normal human being and must have learned Italian. )

"Yes." I replied with what I hoped confidence.

" Then please, allow me to escort you to your personal office." Saying that he turned around and started walking to the right direction.

I followed him willingly. Anything was better than standing in front of the main gate like a complete lost case. We walked a long way in complete silence with occasional shout of some students disrupting the peaceful atmosphere. After walking for atleast 15 minutes (The school was too big!), the guard suddenly stopped and I took a good look at my new residence.

To be honest I had heard about the extravagances of Mystic's back in my days but this took it to a whole new level! In front of me stood a big dormitory which was pure white in colour. It was quite clear that the whole thing was made of white marble and the front of the gate was gold. It was most beautiful palace like dormitory ever!

" Please, Get in ! The receptionist will tell you everything you need to know. "

I murmured a quite thank you as the guard left me alone infront of the door. I hesitated placing my foot on the doorway afraid that I would sully the purity of this place.

As I was hesitating on the doorway , a soft voice made the descion for me. As I looked up , I saw a petite woman standing on the doorway , smiling at me softly. The white glow of the place along with her soft smile and kind eyes gave her an eternal glow .

" My! I presume you are the new professor." She said in an extremely soft voice which I strained to hear.

"Um, Y- yes!" I stuttered out.

She again smiled softly and requested me to follow her. Her name was Fenella and she was the director of this dormitory. In other words she funded this dormitory. There were total 5 dormitory, and this was the largest and oldest of all. This being the largest it had total 25 sections and each section had their own head of the house.

" The head of the houses were mostly People working under me but we do have two professors as you who are the head of the house. " She smiled amicably as she stopped infront of a door.

" As a head of the house, at most you have to do is take the roll call at 7 in the morning and make sure your students stay out of too much trouble . The Head Director of our school is a little stiff. " she smiled at me slightly.

I smiled back awkwardly.

" Well then , I will take my leave . This is the map , it will help you out. Take your time and please positively attend the meeting today at 8 PM in the teacher lounge ." She bid me goodbye and went on her way.

I opened the door and what greeted me was a spacious office space with a table and a chair on the far end . There was a sofa in the middle and a glass table infront of it . It was shame really that the daisies on it were all artificial. Going further inside I found a door connected to a bed chamber which was equally spacious with a ben in the middle of it. All in all, the whole personal chamber lived up to it's extravagances.

I still had some time left before attending the meeting , so I started getting comfortable in my room and unpacked my belongings .

Later , around 7 : 50 , I left the room and with the help of the map managed to find my way to the teacher's lounge. As I entered the lavish looking lounge I felt heavily under dressed . Even wearing official clothing it felt uncomfortable.

" Ah! Professor Meg is here . Let me introduce to you our new history History professor, professor Shiloh Meg . " Fenella smiled as she introduced me to other 25 head of the house. My social anxiety was skyrocketing as I tried to hold my breath and tried not to stutter.

" Hello, Nice to meet you. Hope you treat me well."

After the introduction was done , the actual meeting began.

" So , Is there any problem? Any student acting up? " Miss Fenella was as soft as always .

" Hmph! That brat Doak! Always making problem. Yesterday he was suspended from science class after offending Mr. Ecgtheow ." Mr Azul responded annoyed. This particular Head of the house seemed to have some problem with this Doak child as he had not stopped muttering about him since the start.

" Ah Mr Azul, but Doak is but a child ! He must have not meant anything by it." Miss Fenella said placatingly.

" By any mean , I don't wish to have that problem child in my house anymore!"

"Well then, how about prof. Meg? " A silky voice whined as other head of the house all turned away their heads , unwilling to take Doak in their house.

As everyone looked at Professor Prvce , he stuttered " I - I am no- not su- sure. ple- please don't listen to me! Ha ha ! Just saying! I mean only Professor Meg has place for extra ...." he went silent but the damage was already done.

Everyone looked at me.

With Every one's eyes on me and Miss Fenella looking so hopeful I gulped and agreed awkwardly " Um..sure."

As everyone smiled and told me how good of a experience it would be for me, Professor Logan looked at me and muttered whimp.

" Ha ha don't be like that ! " Mr Benaim slapped his back as professor Logan cursed.

' I think I will manage it somehow.'

A little spoiler I didn't.
