Before their first class, they were summoned to the Headmistress' office.
"After much deliberation, I've decided to suspend Prof. Lukic for two weeks," said Prof. Holbrook.
"With due respect, Prof. Lukic was acting on my request," said Diana.
"I know, but she endangered your well-being."
She noticed that Prof. Holbrook emphasized 'your'. If it happened to another student, the punishment would probably be less harsh. "She may have made the potion, but I ultimately made the decision to drink it. She didn't force me."
"Hmmm... In that case, I'll reduce the suspension to one week. Do you wish to add anything, Lukic?"
Lukic grinned at Diana with sharp teeth. "Did it work? Do you have any doubts at all?"
Diana paused to think about the last week. "Yes, it worked. I have no doubts."
"Heeheheheee! Excellent!" Lukic rubbed her hands with glee. "I have nothing to add."
"You may go."
After Lukic left the room, Prof. Holbrook sighed. "I must apologize, Diana. She's brilliant but extremely eccentric. Although you decided to drink it, she shouldn't have made such a potion in the first place. You presented a challenge so she wanted to beat it regardless of the consequences. In the future, I suggest caution in dealing with Lukic."
"There's no need to apologize. I made a mistake as well."
"Ms. Kagari."
"Yes?!" Akko replied much louder than she intended.
"Good job. I trust both of you got some rest and settled your business." She winked.
The office seemed warmer all of the sudden. "Yes, we sle--... er... rested a lot."
"I'm glad."
"Prof. Holbrook, did all the teachers pass?" asked Diana.
"No. Prof. Nelson, Prof. Pisces and Prof. Finneran didn't pass. They'll need to take remedial classes during Winter break."
"I see. Is there anything else?"
"None. Enjoy your day."
They bowed and left the office. "Were you asking about the Dragon exam?" asked Akko as they walked towards their first class.
"Yes. I expected my aunt to be home already, but she wasn't there."
"I'm surprised that Prof. Pisces didn't pass."
"I'm surprised that Prof. Finneran didn't pass."
"I'll ask Prof. Pisces after class."

"You two caused a firestorm after you left," said Amanda with a smirk.
"What do you mean?" asked Akko as she took her seat at their lunch table.
"Everyone's trying to guess who Diana kissed," said Sucy.
"I did!" said Akko.
"We know, but they think Amanda did it."
"Or Lotte," said Jasminka.
"What?! Why you two?"
"It's because I'm sitting next to them," said Diana who sat at the head of the table with Amanda to her right and Lotte to her left.
"The news club asked me several times," said Lotte who looked upset.
"Same, but I jerk them around whenever they ask," said Amanda.
