Michael was silently munching his bread as he listening to Maxwell rambling about something he read from the Witch daily recently when his eyes caught the sight of Alex who were smiling brightly as he was talking to a group of female second year.

He raised his brows at the sight. It wasn't anything new about Alex being surrounded by witches but what's rare about that particular moment is Alex is actually talking just as excited at the witches. He couldn't help but to be curious at that.

"--And so they say--" Max stopped in the middle of his word as he finally noticed that Michael wasn't listening to him anymore. So he turned his head towards where his sight was at, "Huh, that's weird."

Michael snorted, "I was just thinking the same thing."

"I wonder if the girls  were hiring him for something," Max said, popping some grapes into his mouth. Michael just shrugged and shifted his eyes back at the blond wizard as soon as he saw Alex waving the witches goodbye and making his way towards them. "Let just asked him."

"Asking whom, what?" Alex asked, taking the goblet that was next to Max's plate as he sat down

"Oi, that's mine," Max pouted as he watched Alex gulped down his drinks as if it was his. Alex just grinned and tousled the shorter boy, "What's yours is mine," he winked. Max just make face at him. 

"So what's the deal with the witches, hm?" Michael asked. 

"Yeah, don't tell us that your type is actually younger witches," Max scowled. 

Alex laughs at that, "Geeeee, I ain't that rotten," and sighs, "But yeah, well.... They uh, apparently heard from a friend of theirs, that I am actually good with hair braidings,"

Michael and Max looked at him squarely before erupted with laughter. Alex just rolled his eyes and sighs. 

"Aw geez," Max wiped his tears off with his hand, "I didn't expect that, geez."

"So they're like what? Asking you to help them braiding their hair or something?" Michael asked, snickering. Alex shrugged and take another sip of Max's drinks, "Well, if they payment is good, then it's good."

"You really are something, Alex." Michael just shook his head, grinning. 

The three of them were still animatedly talking with each other when Principal Julia suddenly came up to the podium and with a wave of her wand, she adjusted her voice volume.

"Dearest Moxarths," she began. The voices around the great hall slowly dies down and all eyes abruptly focused on her. "Before we end our breakfast and start the class for the day, I have two important announcement to make," said she.

"I wonder," Max whispered. Michael and Alex shush him

"The first announcement is about the parent-teacher meeting," A few groans could be heard coming among the students. Principal Julia narrowed her eyes and sighs, "I know some of you hate this type of event but you all know it is important for the school to notify and shows your parent about how you doing in schools," she cleared her throat, "Anyway, this will be held on the second week of next month. Professors will distributes a form to all of you and those who do not pass the form to their parents or guardian by the due date, I will have a one-on-one meeting with them, along with you."

Muffles of dissatisfy sounds started to echo around the hall. Principal Julia just pressed her lips together into a thin line. "If you have any problem regarding contacting your family or anything related to this matter, please come and see me or your trusted professor or fellow prefects

"Secondly," she added, "As you all already aware, almost every witches and wizardry school around the world has participate in the exchange student programs." Principal Julia briefly exchanged a knowing look with Alex, which Michael happened to notice it as well.
