A Witch Among Villians

Merchant of the Sea

It ha been over two months since the Magift Tournament and things were settling down.
Though now that Leona was a new soulmate, Riddle had been a little peeved at this info, but he complied since it was necessary.
If anyone were to ask Leona of the benefits, he would deny it. However, he didn't have any argument on Hazel's attentiveness to him. She would even let him sleep with his head on her warm lap sometimes.

Some students even thought that Leona and Riddle were fighting over her.

Once again, the school was bustling, mainly because Final Exams were coming up.

And at a certain lounge, a young megane was looking over the contracts for his 'clients' and he came across A peculiar one from some nobody student.
One that made him want to go in a rage.

'Make Hazel-sama fall in love with me!'

He gripped the parchment tightly as he actually ripped it up piece by piece and threw it all into a fire.

"Why did you rip that request up, Azul?" Floyd asked.

"...Some nobody thought to have the gall to ask me to make a certain female fall for them."

"How foolish of them. Prefect Potter is different from the other women in the world, though I don't think you could blame them either. She is one of a kind." Jade added.

That caused Azul to smirk and they were closing up the Lounge.
'Yes, she won't be with some weak nobody. They aren't worthy of her at all. Once things fall into place, I'll get what I want from her.' Azul thought as he left for his room, his eyes filled with dark desire.

Morning of the exams....

GRIM: (mumbling) So for the application for this problem... If 2 choices remain, I simply... (mumbling)

"Morning Grim, we're you studying all night?" Hazel asked suprising her dorm-mate.

GRIM: Wha-!? Don't just call my name like that! You made me forget what I was memorizing, yanno.
Today's the first day of exams, yanno!
The two of us are like two peas in a pod, so don't hold me back.

"Normally, I would counter, but a lot rides on this exam. So, let's go."
[LOCATION: Classroom]
Hazel, having taken tests seriously since her time at Hogwarts, had prepared and studied months in advance even during the Magift Tournament preparations. So it wouldn't be a problem for her.

CREWEL: Time is up, you dogs. Put your pens down obediently, and pass your answer sheets forward.
That concludes all of the written exams for this class.
ALL: YAAAAYYY!!!
CREWEL: Sit! It's still too early to celebrate. All the bad boys that will get failing marks will be taking remedial classes over Christmas break.
I will whip you into shape, so be ready. Class dismissed.

ACE: Ah~! It's finally over!
DEUCE: I did all that I could. All that's left is to wait for the results.
GRIM: Ahaha! A test like this's a piece of cake for me!
ACE: Huh? You guys seem confident even though you normally make such defeated faces after a test~
GRIM: Hehe! I'm a bit different from the past me already, yanno.
Be prepared to ask me for help with your studying next time! I'll be waiting to hear "What a genius you are, Grim", yanno!
DEUCE: Sorry, but I am pretty confident this time. I'll be taking that glory for myself.
ACE: Pretty rich hearing that from the same dude who cried his eyes out because he barely passed.
ACE: Well, I'm pretty confident too, so I ain't losin'.
The boys said as they interacted.

"You guys studied really hard for the exams, huh?" Hazel asked, and for some reason, she felt like something was wrong.

ACE: Pretty much~♪ Studying's easy~♪
DEUCE: Alright, classes are over, so I might as well head to the track-and-field club.
ACE: I'm gonna play basketball and exercise 'til I drop. Alright, see you all later then.
"Let's go back home, too, Hazel. I studied so hard that I'm feeling super sleepy now." Grim yawned as he flopped into the young witch's arms and she shook her head with a smile.
