Chapter Thirty-Six

From the doorway, unseen by the class or Paris Westbridge, were Willow Starr and Mae Ling. The pair watched the proceedings of the ballroom dancing class, and listened in using an eavesdropping spell.

The headmistress visibly flinched at hearing Paris’ admission about fighting a minotaur. Mae Ling, however, hid her grin after hearing this.

“You think she’s what we need?” Willow asked the head professor.

“I do,” Mae Ling stated with confidence.

The headmistress shook her head. “I’ve always trusted you on these things…your process, but I wish you could be more forthcoming with your reasoning.”

“I think she has a good instinct,” Mae Ling admitted, observing as Paris slumped in her seat, watching the class practice as she threaded her arms across her chest, disinterested. “I think that as fairy godmothers, we’ve lost that instinct. We’re too textbook, and it’s outdated. We need something different.”

Willow sighed heavily and looked at the rebellious fairy. “She’s definitely different. Not only for a fairy godmother either. She’s different for…well, a fairy.”

Mae Ling shrugged. “I’m a fairy.”

“Yes, but you know how to behave,” Willow stated.

“I know when to behave and when you’re not looking,” Mae Ling teased playfully.

“Oh, you always behave, even if you don’t conform.” She pointed at Paris. “That one doesn’t do either.”

“I like that about her,” Mae Ling stated proudly.

“I do too,” Willow admitted. “That doesn’t mean she’s going to work out. We’ll have to keep an eye on her. How she acts today is crucial. Saint Valentine is breathing down my back on several things: Our low enrollment, the fairy godmothers flunking out once in the field, and now this decision to allow an unorthodox student into our college. If at the end of today, Paris doesn’t seem like a good fit, I think we need to reassess.”

“I think she’ll pass our exams tonight,” Mae Ling declared. “But…” She held up a finger while drawing out the word. “Consider that she might pass using unconventional means since she is an unorthodox student. We all need to be prepared for that.”

Willow lowered her chin and gave the head professor a knowing look. “You mean me. I need to be open to such things.”

“Possibly,” Mae Ling sang and glanced back at Paris. “For now, we simply observe. See what she does and how she does. Grade her as she progresses through the day.”

Willow nodded. “Then tonight, the final exam to see if she’s right for Happily Ever After College. If not, we have to figure out something else. If the answer isn’t unconventional students for the college, then I have to figure out something else. Everything at Happily Ever After depends on this. Love is at stake.”
