Hello! I made it! This is the first part of the daily update. I will see you guys tomorrow. Read at your own risk from here on out. Little warning would be good for the next chapters, don't you think?
Anyway, onwards with the story! :)
"I have your schedule now."
Everyone turns from whatever they are doing to the door. There, they saw their head of house, smiling at them. Before Samantha arrived, they are at the gathering area, each doing their own thing. Atsushi is with his snacks, Daiki and Ryouta are quarreling once again, Tetsuya, Shintaro and Seijuro each held their notes, reading and Neville is trying to do an unlocking spell and failing. They have nothing to do since they don't have the schedule yet. They already took their breakfast and it was awkward. They are having a hard time talking when the silence seems to like them this time then their previous days at the school they are in currently. Samantha looks at each one of them and held out her notes. She sat at the sofa along with the others, eager to know what their new schedule would be.
"Your first class by this same time is Transfiguration. Next is Charms, then…"
Samantha explained to them that their schedule is behind slightly because the school schedule is not yet used with five houses. Samantha further explained that the schedule of classes will change next school year, not that any of the exchange students care. Neville and Tetsuya listened intently though, since both of them are regular students of the school. They can go to a class anytime as long as they follow the order of the classes. They can't pick the classes they first want to attent to, unfortunately if they are by their own. They can attend a class without order, if they all agreed to attend the class together. Atsushi, Neville, Daiki, Shintaro and Seijuro made their way towards there first classes. Ryouta and Tetsuya are left at the gathering area. When the door closed, silence enveloped them. The light blue haired male didn't mind it but the blonde looks at the other, thinking what he is going to do. Tetsuya is reading a book he got from the library while Ryouta stays silent near him. The blond finally tried his luck in speaking.
"Hi."
Tetsuya looks at him. Ryouta internally made his palm make contact with his forehead. That is a very lame start of conversation. The positive part of that one word is that they will, indeed, have a conversation. Ryouta smiles nervously at him. Aqua colored eyes met golden-like orbs.
"What is it, Kise-kun?"
"W-well, since we are both Japanese and all, h-how do you like it here?"
Tetsuya looks as if he is just staring at Ryouta. If not for the question that he asked, he will think that the light blue haired male is just watching his every move. At least, he knows that the male is thinking about an answer to his question. Tetsuya stares straight in the eyes of Ryouta that made the other nervous and think that maybe his question is something wrong to say.
"It is refreshing. This place gives me room to breathe."
"I see."
Tetsuya laid his book down at the table in front of them and turn his full attention at Ryouta, "What about you, Kise-kun?"
Ryouta smiles and said that he likes the country. It gives a different environment and it provides the perfect place for studying, even if he himself admits that he isn't fond of reading. That simple subject for conversation continues to this and that. At some point, Tetsuya finally smiled and Ryouta knows at that time that the other is enjoying their talk.
After a few minutes later, Tetsuya stands up and got his book. Ryouta stands as well, not knowing what to do. Tetsuya smiles at him.
"Thank you very much, Kise-kun. I never thought talking to somebody can be this fun."
Ryouta scratched the back of his head, "It is fine, Kuroko-kun! If you need someone to talk to, I will be here. If there is anything you like to ask, feel free to do so! After all, we are friends now right?"
Tetsuya tilted his head to the side a little, "Friends, huh? I guess. Thank you, really, Kise -kun. I have a question in mind now though, do you mind?"
"No, nope! What is it?"
Seriousness seemed to envelope them before Tetsuya said, "What happened to Akashi-kun?"

"You called for me, headmaster?"
Samantha is currently inside the headmaster's office. She is summoned before her class with the Gryffindors. She didn't know why she was summoned. She and Albus made eye contact before the office's door opened. They both turn to it to see another professor. A female professor, who wears spectacles and her hair in a tight bun, makes her way near the two. The cloak she is wearing is being swept lightly by little air that she passed by as she walks.
"You called for me, sir?"
Albus nodded at both of them, "Yes, indeed, I did. You might be wondering why, I presume?"
Minerva nods a little, "Before that, sir. I have a more pressing matter to discuss with you."
"What is it, Professor McGonagall?"
Minerva raised her spectacles up the bridge of her nose. Samantha looks at Albus and Minerva back and forth before settling her sight with Minerva. She wished that it has nothing to do with her students.
"It is about Seijuro Akashi from Professor Buenaventura's house."
Samantha's attention snapped straight at her fellow professor with a thought in her mind that she thinks she shouldn't test fate, "What happened? Did something happened inside your class this morning?"
"Nothing, but I can't help but notice that Seijuro acts his normall self this time then the next second, he seemes like a completely different person."
"Is that so?" Albus confirms, "if so, then, we have to leave it be. When it will go to the point of being worse, it is the only time we will take a course of action. Professor Buenaventura, I leave the boy to your care."
Samantha nods her head, "I will be doing my best."
"The matter I am about to tell you before the subject of Seijuro Akashi is brought up is about Tetsuya Kuroko."
Samantha couldn't believe that the issue is the two from her house. She didn't think that she will be going to have a headache with two students that looks capable than the others. She cannot believe, too, that all the issue shown to the headmaster's atention is all about her students. She surpassed the urge to bang her head at the nearest wall while she waited for the headmaster to say something. Minerva also waited patiently for the information that is about ti be told.
Albus stared straight on both their eyes seriously as he said, "I now have a theory on why Tetsuya can't bring forth his magic."

"I told you not to put it in, you idiot!"
The statement made a certain Potions Professor turn to them. He surpassed a smirk when he saw the potion turning to a color that is not described at the book. He is about to speak when he saw Seijuro from the other side of the room throw something in the air that shot inside the potion that made it return back to the original color. Severus almost cursed. He can't just take out points from any of the Sycamore since they are all exchange students.
Although, he saw Neville beside Seijuro. He remembered that the male is now a Sycamore. If in case the male did something wrong with the formula, then, he can take points. He waited but it seems like the male is unlikely to get something wrong.
"Time's up. Pass your potions and get out of my sight!" Yelled Severus.
The Gryffindor is the house that is with the Sycamore instead of the Slytherin. The schedule of the Slytherin in Potions will be after them. All the students of Gryffindor immediately fixed their things to be able to leave quickly. They don't want to risk having some of their house points taken.
Sycamore students though, took their time in fixing their things. It is the last subject for the day anyway. They decided that to be able to not cross paths with the Slytherins, they will attend their classes earlier than the rest. Shintaro couldn't shrug off the fact that he feels something wrong is about to happen. Atsushi fixes his things while he is munching a snack. Before they are done, they got out and some of the Slytherins enters. They saw Seijuro and each laughed at him. Draco comes in front, with his two companions that the Sycamores didn't bother knowing the name of.
"What happened to you, Seijuro? I thought they are a huge waste of time? Looks like you like them for yourself," Draco says and his fellow housemates laughs with him.
Seijuro ignores them. Daiki and Atsushi became aware of the incoming danger. Where the danger they sensed came from, they don't know. They ignored the laughing from the other house which irritated the students. They finally finished fixing their things. They are about to get out the room, with Seijuro leading them out when the Slytherins blocked their way to exit the classroom. Blocking the way out means they are blocking the way of the leader, Seijuro. Draco, being in front, smirks at them.
"Not so fast, Sycamores. We have a business to settle."
"What do you need from us? We are in a very tight schedule," Shintaro replies.
Daiki stares at all of them from up to down and back up, "Ha? What are this people doing? Are they trying to be a cool looking bully? It don't suit you all. Let us pass."
The Slytherins laugh, "Why would we?" One of the Slytherins said.
Both parties stand at their positions quiet. Nobody dared to break it. Well, at least not from both of the parties.
"Sycamores, out of my classroom, now!"
The Slytherins snickered and each looked at the Sycamores in mock, daring them to try to make way from them. The Sycamores didn't know what to do. They each look at each other. It is then that they realized that Seijuro is the only person, from them, that is staring at the ground. It grew quiet. Eerily quiet. The air around them seems to be suffocating them.
"Let them pass!" A voice from outside was heard.
Some of the Slytherins turn to the source of the voice. Shintaro, Daiki, Atsushi and Neville can't see the person beyond but they know that the voice is a fellow housemate. They waited as the conversation between the person outside and the Slytherins' Draco, since he is the person speaking for all of his fellows.
"What are you going to do, new student? Help your fellow housemates? How are you gonna do that, huh?"
They heard a loud crash that echoed at the corridors. Somebody has pushed Tetsuya is the conclusion that they made. The Slytherins smirked at them with taunt. Draco looks at them head on as he made his way back in front. Seijuro finally looks up at them. Draco and the others stares at him, straight in the eye.
"On your knees."
On that simple command, every single one of the Slytherins that looked at him in the eye fell down on their knees. All of them staring at the floor in shock. If you will look in the eyes of the Sycamores, the Slytherins are on their knees and they look as if they are bowing their head in apology. Seijuro walks passed them, his fellow housemates behind him as he did so. When he completely passed by all of them along with the others, Seijuro turns back at them, staring at them in a side view which made his left eye's almost golden like orbs gleam in irritation.
"No one can look at me straight in the eye, only the people who respect me can. No one will get in my way, not even if you are my parents. My orders are absolute and that's where you belong, on your knees."
After he said this, the doors began swinging close. A last glimpse of them was seen by the Slytherins and Draco, when they turned before the doors closed. When the doors swing open once again, they didn't see any traces of the Sycamore students. The doors finally closed by then.
