Author's Note: High guys, I initially wasn't going to make the story contain this many chapters, but it seems to go on and on, so in all I think there will be about five more chapters to go after this one. Also, I initially made a newsletter as well page for sorcery as well as the page for the principal to introduce the college, but unfortunately can't upload them on here. So, if anyone is interested in seeing what they do look like, then send me a private message and we'll work out things from here. Happy holidays to all. Enjoy!


Monday 7th November

Everyone was back at work today, and as for Arthur, it was his first day as Head Master, and he was nervous. He would still continue to teach classes, one of the second year sports class and the second year history class. Gwen had been promoted from secretary to Arthur's personal secretary.

As soon as Arthur walked into his new office, taking a look at the moderations taken place, Gwen came in with a cup of coffee. Arthur looked curious at the coffee's source.

"Morning Arthur. Here's a cup to get to going."

"Where the coffee from Gwen."

"From the cafeteria sir."

"Hmm, ok, from now on can you get it from the coffee bar in the library?"

"Alright sir."

"Gwen, just because I'm now headmaster doesn't mean you have to call me sir. Just call me Arthur like normal."

"Alright then Arthur, erm Leon wants to discuss the newsletter for this month as well as the prospectus for next year, shall I send him down?"

"Alright then. Might as well start my job."

In the office of Penn, Leon and Arthur were working out on how the prospectus would look, and they needed to decide quickly as the first of the two opening days were Saturday coming up. At the same time there was the charity football match to consider. They had a few members of the team who would help out, but needed a few more.

In the end they managed to come up with a design for the newsletter, and what was going on there, including the announcement of the new subject choice as well as the new destinations for the Albion Coach Service, where their would be new services to Nemeth and Crystal Cave Village.

The next thing to discuss, which was after lunch, was who would be representing the team for the netball and football charity matches. So after the college day was finished, the staff were collected, where the decision was made, alongside a few Skype calls to those were had already put their names down, notably Morgana, Lance and Mordred.

"Alright, so Elyan, Myself, Percy and Gwaine have already added our names to the list, and Lance and Mordred alongside Will said they would contribute as well, which gives us seven out of the eleven positions. We need four more! At the same time we need to sort things out fast if we want to get some training in if we want to beat Mercia in a month or so time." Arthur announced.

"Arthur, you do realise that it's a charity match, but nonetheless, make me eight." Leon announced.

"Thank you Leon. Right, three more."

"I suppose I could a couple hours of my time to participate in this, after all, it's for charity." Ewan, who worked in the Humanities Department, butted in.

"If it's charity then I'll do it." Tristian added.

"Good, that's more like it. Right one more person. Robert, Frank, George. Anyone else?"

All three declined, saying that they were either busy that Saturday or did not do football even if it was for charity.

"How about you Merlin?"

"You know, as many others do I can't play football even if my life depended on it."

"Ah, c'mon, we'll train you with our best men, and it's for charity Merlin, something you tell us to appreciate more than we usually do."

"I'm not allowed to say no am I?"

"No, and you'll be kindly rewarded after."

"Oh alright then!"

"That's the spirit! Right, so that's settled. As for the males of the group, minus Leon or Merlin, the rest of you may leave. For the party on Skype, it's up to you if you wish to leave now. As for the team, we'll meet tomorrow afternoon after college has finished to start training."

...

The males of the staff party left the room, leaving Arthur, Leon, Merlin and the females left.

"Right, so that's the football team sorted. What about the girls netball team for the week after?" Leon addressed the party.

"Morgana has already agreed to join the team as usual, and would happy to take on her position from last year as wing attack, if that's alright with the team captain, which is Mithian." Merlin added.

"Right, so that makes two out of seven. Gwen has already, as has Freya, that they will kindly join the team, making four."

"Hey guys! I know she hasn't worked at Albion College before but she would happy represent the team. She's a physical education teacher in Ireland, and my half-sister." Morgana reported over the Skype chat.

"When did she become your half-sister?" Arthur replied.

"Did some more family history when I got back. Found that we have the same mother, he name is Morgause."

"What position does she play?" Mithian shouted over the round table.

"Goal keeper because she's tall." Morgana continued.

"Good. We could do with a tall person to stop Mercia from scoring."

"Thanks Morgana."

"So, shall we discuss positions whilst we're here?" Gwen declared.

"We might as well." Mithian replied.

"So, we've got Morgana as wing attack, Morgause as goal keeper. Gwen takes on wing-defence, Freya takes on centre and Mithian takes on goal shooter. Which leaves two-positions for two players, goal attack and goal defence."

"I'll join up, put me in goal-attack." Nimueh added.

"I know I'm only the college nurse but I play netball in my free time. I'm happy to take on goal-defence." Alice butted in, who after Uther's death as working as a nurse, had become good friends with Arthur and had joined the staff at the college nurse.

"Good, that's that sorted then." Arthur finished off.

"One more thing, which charity are we giving the funds to?" Merlin asked.

"We'll decide that with Mercia when we meet with them next week." Arthur drew the meeting to a close.

Saturday 12th November

Yesterday after the student left college early in order to prepare for Saturday's open afternoon, was a gruelling task to do.

First of all, during the week, Arthur, Leon and Merlin needed to discuss what would be taught in Sorcery classes from the year after, so that Merlin could go away and produce pamphlets and leaflets advertising the subject on the Saturday, and then the sorcery page for the college's prospectus needed to be completed, which meant on Friday, Merlin needed to come in smartly dressed as he were a teacher to have his picture taken, as each page contained the picture of each head of department.

Then there was making sure all of the students who were helping out in each current department and showing the students on the tours knew what time they were to get at the college for, so a meeting was called on Friday morning to discuss matters with them.

After that, each base needed to be sorted out so that visitors could get in and move around the classrooms, so tables and chairs needed to be moved out of the way. Merlin would be taking the first floor, and unfortunately Nimueh was working in the Science department, and Morgana was currently in Ireland, so the only other member who would be working that day was Mordred, so Merlin had to tell Mordred what would be covered and what to say.

Then there was the catering; two bases in which the coffee shop would be providing for the guests, and the cafeteria would be for the staff and students.

So by Friday evening, many were already exhausted, and were in no shape for Saturday.

Saturday morning, the alarm rang out at 6:30am, and Arthur groaned, as he knew what day it was. He got out of bed to find that dawn was breaking and thankfully it wasn't raining. He phoned Merlin to make sure he was awake and told him to wear something smart, like he did the day before, and told him to phone Mordred to do the same, and that he would be at Merlin's for eight, and for Merlin to tell Mordred to text him the address.

Arthur then jumped in the shower and put on his best suit. Arthur found his ID card, attached to a cord and put that around his neck. He made some quick breakfast called cornflakes, watching the news as he ate.

His phone buzzed, Mordred texting him the address, which appeared that he didn't live five minutes from Arthur's house, and texted back telling him to be at his within 20 minutes.

By 8:30am all three had gotten out of the car in one of three college car parks and walked to the main entrance, where the new receptionist Lucy was working. Even though Arthur had told Gwen that she could have the day off, she insisted that she would come in and help handing out prospectuses and give out free stuff to the guests (which included pens, button badges and application forms).

Merlin and Mordred had retreated upstairs in room 0.08, which hadn't yet been converted from the physics lab into the sorcery lab, but this was where their base was. Luckily this lab had benches, which were much easier to move to create space for the visitors, both of them would find the day fun as they were allowed to show off using magic.

Outside of the main entrance contained a coach, where some of the drivers would talk to the guests on the coach services, and then others were gathered in the sports hall where they would showing the routes of the coaches that they took and the new ones, as well as giving them out application forms for the bus passes.

Also in the sports hall were the physical education department, which was now run by Mithian as well as Elyan for the male division, and Percival had come along to work alongside them.

Meanwhile, Leon was stuck in the English Department upstairs near the library with Lance, who was to join the department next September, talking about literature and the things covered there.

Dr Gaius, Gwaine and Freya were cooped up in the library, Gwaine working in the coffee shop using his flirtatious gestures at people, although had his boundaries for when people would properly flirt back, as now having a partner, he knew where to stand, and was in no condition to hurt Percy. Freya and Dr Gaius were covering the rest of the library.

Nimueh was stuck in the science department with the other lecturers conducting experiments to show off to the guests, all of this in order to try and get students onto their subject, to mainly keep them in work.

Gwen and students Rachael Brown, Hannah Westward and Jonah Newman was having the fun of running up and down to the reception to collect more prospectuses for the endless numbers of guests that were entering the college. Arthur was taking stand to greet the visitors as principal in the main hall of the college, talking about where the college stands in terms of ratings, changes that were being made, and that Albion was a place of prosperity, and now with the lifted ban on magic, a place of peace and freedom.

At the end of the day, everyone was relieved that the day was over, and because none of them attended The Dragon the night before due to the rest they needed for the Saturday, they decided to all travel to the pub for a pint, with Mordred, who rest felt sorry for, as he still had to work at the pub on the night as well. As for Lance, he had to work at the Indigo Flame Restaurant in Camelot City, so he took the car that belonged to him and Gwen, whilst Gwen would be driven in Arthur's car to the pub.
