"Eh? You actually went to the Dwarfs' Mine in search of a magestone? I didn't really expect you all to be serious and never in my wildest imagination did I think you would actually return with a magestone! And here, I spent all evening preparing your expulsion documents..."
"DIRE/HEADMAGE!"

When they emerged through the Dark Mirror, they were greeted by an empty Mirror Chamber.
"I wonder where the Headmage is." Y/N said, "I thought he was waiting for us by the Mirror..."
"He's probably in his office." Ace suggested. "Come on, I think his office is this way."
The orange-haired male led the group through the hallways and to the doorway to the Headmage's office. When they got closer to the door, they could hear some shouting from inside.
Looking confused, Y/N gently knocked on the door but got no response. The female looks back at the three males behind her. "Should we just... open it?"
Deuce, Ace, and Grim look at each other briefly before shrugging. Y/N slowly opens the door.
When she opened the door, they were greeted by the sight of the Headmage being strangled by another male with white and black hair, whom Y/N believes is a teacher.
"Let me get this straight: you let a girl with two boys, and a weasel go out on their own to the Dwarfs' Mine to fetch a magestone." The white and black-haired male repeated, "You are aware that the Dwarfs' Mine has been closed for many years, and who knows what lurks there? What were you thinking, Dire?!" The male demanded.
Crowley tried to speak, but he was being choked out as his face turned purple.
"Um... Is this a bad time?" Y/N asked, making everyone's eyes turn to her. She finally realized that Crowley and the white and black-haired male weren't the only ones in the room.
An elderly male was holding a cat in his arms, a large male with muscles and a male with magenta eyes wearing a hat.
"My little imp! You're just in time to stop Crewel from ensuring that we never get paid again!" The male with magenta eyes said.
"See!" Crowley finally spoke as the other male released his throat, "She's back! And she's fine! Honestly, she's not defenceless as you think! You should have seen her when she was catching the weasel!" He gasps, taking deep breaths.
The white and black-haired male strode across the room to Y/N and looked over at her. "Oh, thank heavens, you're alright, puppy!" He said before glaring at Ace and Deuce, who both flinched, "I trust that you mutts kept your paws to yourselves?"
Y/N blinks confusingly at him, "Don't worry!" She reassures him before taking out the magestone from her pocket, "We got the magestone."
"Eh?" Crowley looks stunned, "You actually went to the Dwarfs' Mine in search of a magestone?"
