Part 1: Mr. Darkmoon

"Ms Drill" Mildred turned to the teacher who was walking "I have a question"

"You can tell me anything, girl" Ms Drill said in a friendly tone

"Do you know why Ms Crackle has been so busy those days?" Mildred asked before Ms Drill gave a confuse look.

Ms Crackle usually is around the halls along with Ms Hardbroom. She always share the morning with her students, again along with Hecate. But the last four days she hadn't been seen out from her office. Students and teachers started to worry about their headmistress, specially Hecate Hardbroom.

"I'm so sorry, Mildred. I do have the same question" Ms Drill said "Perhaps HB knows, Ms Crakle and her are very close friends"

"I will ask her" Mildred sighed just before fidding HB "Ms Hardbroom"

"Yes, Ms Hubble?" The deputy headmistress looked the girl "Something you need?"

"I'm wondering if you know why Ms Crackle has been too busy the last four days?" Mildred asked. Ms Hardbroom gave a concerning look just before sighing.

"I have no idea, Ms Hubble" Ms Hardbroom said in a soft tone, also hurted "She has been worrying me those days. She hadn't even tell me anything or…at least say hi."

Seeing a very concerned and soft side of Ms Hardbroom wasn't quite of usual. Well Mildred already seen her when she reconcile with her bestfriend and also after what happen with Agatha and Ms Gullet. She always have been very concerned about Ms Crackle. She was very important to her more than just a superior.

"No answer" Mildred said to her best friends "Even HB have no idea of what is happening"

"It got to be something serious" Maud said just before Ms Crackle appeared with a smile.

"I'm okay" Ms Crackle said before turning around and smile at her deputy headmistress "Don't worry, Hecate. I know that you were dying of concerns"

"I'm just glad you are just okay" Ms Hardbroom said in a very soft tone.

"I request all of you to attend in the auditórium" Ms Crackle said "I have hired someone"

As Ms Crackle and the three girls left Ms Hardbroom stare at them. Ada and her have been very close, she have been a mother to her through those years working together, she always ask for her help or even ask for her opinion. Everytime she was going to hire someone she always get her to meet them first and then they discuss about if or not let them in. But this time…she has do it herself.

"Attetion everyone" Ms Crackle said "I want to introduce you our new possion teacher. Eliot Darkmoon"

"Thank you, Ms Crackle" A well-dressed man standed up and shake hands with the headmistress "It's a pleasure to meet you all. I'm gonna do my best to help you all to succed and have a great learning."

"It seems that you have a class off, HB" Ms Drill said before looking the shocked face of the deputy headmistress "Ms Hardbroom?...Hecate?...HB Are you….all right?"

"Everyone please gave a clap to Mr Darkmoon" Ms Crackle said as the others gretted Mr Darkmoon. Then she turned to see Ms Hardbroom very quiet "Hecate. I'm so sorry for getting you out of this"

"It's okay, Ada" Ms Hardbroom said staring at Mr Darkmoon "I know that you needed a new teacher"

"Well. We can talk this later in my office with some tea and cookies before going to bed" Ms Crackle caressed Ms Hardbroom's back and gave her a maternal smile "Is that okey to you?"

"It will be just well, Ada" Ms Hardbroom returned the smile just before her superior walked to the new teacher.

Ms Hardbroom walked in her pijamas through the halls, making sure all girls were already sleeping, before someone arrived in the opposite direction, making both have eye contact at the first sight.

"Good evenning, Mr Darkmoon" Ms Hardbroom said gretting him "I'm Hecate Hardbroom, deputy headmistress of the Academy. Also former teacher of the possion class"

"Good evenning, Ms Hardbroom" Mr Darkmoon said kissing her hand "I have heard that you were a very good teacher to the girls"

"I am" she replied driedly "As deputy headmistress, I make sure things are in order. I hope you can handle with that"

"I can" He said with a challeging tone "If theres any type of problem in my class, I will let you know"

"I will be already there" She said narrowing her eyes "I'm mantaning order, you know?"

"Well, I suppose that I can handle a situation in my future classroom what is not that big that will require your help" He said with a little growl "Ms. Hardbroom"

"We can see that tomorrow" She said growling too "If you can handle a very special student, Mr Darkmoon."

"Do you mean, Mildred Hubble" As he said those words Ms Hardbroom's eyes openned

"How did you know it?" she said in a very warning tone

"I have heard from her. She stopped with her friends Agatha Crackle, right?" He asked "Those are famous news"

"I see" she said "I hope that you have a great sleep. And luck tomorrow"

"Perhaps you will need it" He said

"Perhaps I don't" she said before entering to Ms Crackle's office.

"What happen out there?" Ms Crackle asked seeing Ms Hardbroom looking outside before turning to her superior.

"Nothing, Ada" She said sitting as she gave a sigh "Are you sure about Mr Darkmoon being the new teacher?"

"So you faught with him" Ms Crackle said as she rose an eye bow

"He…started" She said just before Ms Crackle gave her a cup of full of tea. She sip some tea "I'm not feeling quite sure to trust him"

"So, you got a rival?" Ms Crackle said "Hecate, You don't know him yet. But I was quite sure that you could at least get along"

"I'm very sorry for that Ada" Ms Hardbroom said in a lower tone "I'm still wondering why you keep me out in that new teacher thing?"

"I didn't want you to work more than you usually do. You worry me sometimes" Ms Crackle said before handing some cookies to her "Cookies?"

"Thank you, Ada" Ms Hardbroom took a cookie "Also thanks for being concern about me as i do with you"

"For some reason you are my great ally and being deputy principal" Ms Crackle said before Ms Hardbroom gave a smile

"I'm very thankful for that" Ms Hardbroom said.
