Chapter 12 - Chapter Eleven ~ Headmistress Spellmont

The seven girls walked down the stairs to the entrance floor and towards the Main Hall, where there was a massive banner with the words WELCOME CLASS OF 2021! written in bright white letters with a dark blue background. There were Salem Years (Seniors or Year 12) sitting up at the back, the Fable Years (Juniors or Year 11 ) just in front of them, followed by the Phoenix Risen Years (Sophomores or Years 9-10) that were seated behind the New Bloods (Freshmen or Years 7-8), all were sitting on chairs scattered on the west, east and south side of the main hall. At the north side of the main hall was a stage where tables with chairs were occupied by the teachers, the Vice Headmistress and Headmistress Spellmont. Lenore Spellmont was a kind looking woman who looked as if she had not aged past 40, with dark hair styled in a sophisticated bun, blue-ish green eyes and dressed smart and sophisticatedly, giving the students a warm smile as she began to speak.

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen, I personally welcome each and every one of you to another year at the LeFay Academy of Magic. For the New Bloods of 2021, my name is Lenore Spellmont and I am the current headmistress of the LeFay Academy of Magic, where our goal is to educate witches, warlocks, merpeople and elves in the good, neutral and sometimes defensive magic to show humans our good intentions. As a alumni myself, I understand you will feel stress and pressure, which is why we have four years and three terms worth of teaching. Some of you are royalty, who will one day rule your kingdoms, while some will be the guardians of such kingdoms, and others will go into careers such as oracle, high wizard or witch, an alchemist or even a professor or headmaster at a school such as L-FAM. I am simply here to help guide you, and when you need it, to listen to you. These men and women beside are Vice Headmistress Dilara Evermond."

A honey blonde woman in her mid to late 30's stood up and waved, showing a smile to the students. Dilara Evermond was wearing a teal dress with a white collar and a pair of matching ballet flats. Dilara soon sank back down into her chair.

"Professor May Wandwright, who will be teaching alchemistry."

A kind 30-40 year old woman stood up and waved at the students. She was dressed in a sweater and a skirt with black heels. Carefully, Professor Wandwright sat back down again.

"Professor Stephen Hartley, your animal care professor."

A well dressed, yet shabby man around 40's stood up and smiled at the students. He was wearing a sweater vest and a pair of suit pants. Professor Hartley soon sat down.

"Your Magical History teacher, Professor Juliette Moreau."

A pale purple young woman stood up and waved enthusiastically and smiled at the students and sat down quickly. She was dressed in a black jumper top with a white crescent moon on the front and a pair of blue denim jeans and black boots.

"Professor Lorraine Bloom, who will be teaching you spellsteracy."

A stylishly dressed woman with black hair and green stood and blew a kiss to the students, before sitting down gracefully. Evelyn noticed that some of the professors rolled their eyes at the spellsteracy Professor, but Headmistress Spellmont didn't notice and continued to list the professors.

"Quentin Mooney, your non-magical life skills professor."

Quentin Mooney stood and smiled at the students before sitting back down again.

"Ares Allistar, your magical and non-magical physical education Professor."

A dark haired man stood up, dressed in a dark purple jumper and a pair of black jeans, who offered a sincere smile towards the students and quickly sat back down again.

"Professor Percival Oswald, your potionology professor."

Percival Oswald stood up, and offered the students a wave and a bright smile, which showed perfect teeth. The girls were entranced by Percival Oswald's charm and good looks.

"And Professor Mortimer Woldorv, your power philosophy professor."

A dark haired man with a black moustache stood up and grinned at the students. He was dressed in a navy blue suit with a white shirt underneath the blazer, and sat back down soon after.

"Breakfast is between 7:00am and 9:30am, lunch goes from midday to 12:45pm, and dinner is served at 6:00pm and ends at 8:00pm. Curfew is at 9:45pm, set for your safety, and keycards are individually handed to you, so if you loose them, speak to Vice Headmistress Evermond and we'll take care of it. You all have dorm assistants, to be able to help you and meet your needs, so when you return to your dorms, put your names to your dorm assistant so you are accounted for. If there is nothing else, stay safe and I hope we can all have a wonderful year. Thank you all." Headmistress Spellmont finished.

Vice Headmistress Evermond grabbed her wand and four boxes with keycards hovered behind her and ended at a table just by the exit. There, the New Bloods of 2021 lined up and were ready to collect their dorm's keycards. The first one in the line was a girl with brown hair and blue, green and purple highlights, wearing a black dress with a white collar and black army-like boots

"Name?" Asked an already annoyed Dilara Evermond.

"Phoebe Webb. Dorm 519."

The Vice Headmistress pulled out a white hand-held keycard with the name Phoebe Webb 519 written in black letters, and handed it to the young witch.

"Here you are. Next! Name?"

This went on for some time. Then the seven girls of Dorm 513 were up.

"Name?"

"Blanche Winters of Dorm 513."

Vice Headmistress Evermond pulled out another white hand-held keycard with Blanche's name and dorm number written on it, and handed it to the Polarian Princess.

"Next! Name?"

"Iris Taranis of 513."

Vice Headmistress Evermond handed the keycard to the weather witch and yelled next. Marina, Ember and Azalea got their keycards, and soon it was Clare and Evelyn's turns.

"Name?"

"Claire deLuna and Evelyn Blake of 513."

Vice Headmistress Evermond pulled out two keycards with Claire and Evelyn's names and dorm number written and handed both to Claire.

"Thanks." Evelyn smiled.

The Vice Headmistress returned the smile. "You're welcome. Next!"

Claire and Evelyn met up with their five roommates just outside the Main Hall while the other students were passing.

"Was it just me or did VH Evermond seem a little..." Marina began.

Blanche responded "Scary?"

"After dealing with a bunch of kids, would you blame her?" Evelyn reasoned.

Azalea shrugged. "You have a point. Let's go back to our rooms and unpack."
