Author's note: Many, many thanks to anyone who faved, followed or reviewed this piece of writing even though I haven't updated it in ages. I'm really glad you like it, though I can't promise I will write WCHB regularly as my main focus is on the story of Zelda. (That and I'm going through unpleasant time in my private life.) But I felt that you deserve a reward for your faith in me. Thank you very much and if you feel bored that this fic doesn't grow as quickly as you would like, please take a look on my other stories.

P.S.: Thanks for reviewing GothGrimmgirl. I can't deny that Milton is capable of douchebaggeries but I wouldn't call him outwardly evil. I can't foresee how will the official story handle his character in the future but I write him, and all Quills for that matter, as Above Good and Evil and Orange and Blue morality. Which brings along some immoral acts but not only those. He can't be evil through and through from the logic of the story as he must maintain the balance between the good and evil students. Sure, he can be a pain in the ass but without any authority the heroes and villains would be at each other's throats before you say 'Once upon a time'.
A fairy tale: how I became a babysitter
"Attention students, I, Milton Grimm, am looking for a babysitter for my daughter. Applicants won't be freed from any obligatory school activity but you may receive hextra credit or other form of reward if your service is found conscientious."
Hello, I'm Sally Fayne and I study to become the next fairy godmother in someone else's story. I may seem saddened by the fact but to be honest, I'm glad I'm not one of the protagonists or main antagonist. I just don't belong to the other flashy and self-assured people who aim to become top tier heroes or villains.
That day I went to visit the principal Grimm. Not that I got in trouble, Fairy Godmother help me, but I needed to discuss something important. I was elected as a year representative of the Legacy year students, it's not a great honor though as I was elected because no one else wanted to do it. Normally I would take it and help my class but being representative meant to participate at student council and I'm too much of a shrinking violet to fight for anyone's interests. So I decided to visit the headmaster and ask him to remove this duty from me.
Unfortunately my shyness kept me from going sooner but the matter was getting really pressing so I had to go today. I get easily terrified by anyone and headmaster Grimm is so tall, he looks like he's ready to break stones with his bare hands. And Mrs. Trollsworth can shoot really withering glares over the rims of her glasses if she doesn't approve of a student.
Luckily she let me in without any disdainful looks, for such a little person she can really look down on someone, and I could proceed to Mr. Grimm himself.
Hearing my knocks he looked up from his paperwork. I have never seen him smile so brightly at a student, particularly one so easily overlooked as me: "An applicant? So early? Your enthusiasm is appreciated, miss Fayne." Well, at least he's one of the few people who remember my name. "B-but I," I stuttered but he didn't let me finish.
"Caring for others belongs to your destiny, no? I'm sure you will do just fine," he took me by my shoulder and led me to the stock where he and his whole family lived.
We must have passed about thirty doors before we arrived at the right ones. Inside a beautiful woman was cuddling a cute baby girl with a tuft of dark brown hair with red stripes and two colored eyes, one was dark green and one was dark blue. That must have been Grimm's wife and daughter. "Honey, I have found the nanny for Mira.
The lady smiled at me and explained everything I needed to know then they left me alone with their child. "Have fun, you two, Giles or I will come to check up on you soon," promised Grimm.
"Looks like we are stuck with each other," I muttered as the doors closed behind the headmaster. "Mii," the baby tilted its head quizzically.
