Mal walked closer to Fairy Godmother before taking a seat opposite the Headmistress. The purplette began nervously fiddling with Ben's ring as she waited for Fairy Godmother to speak, if the teen looked up she would have seen the warm, reassuring smile on the elder fairys face. "Calm down Mal." She told the teen, her smile growing slightly as the purplette finally lifted her head to meet the other fairys gaze. "I just wanted to talk to you." She informed the teen.
"About what?" Mal asked, unsure of where this would be going.
Smiling Fairy Godmother responded with, "There are two things really. The first is Princess Aurora has requested to meet you, Malice, Maverick and Malia before Family Day tomorrow." She told the teen and Mal immediately grew worried. If Leah was going to be there things wouldn't go down very well at all. Fairy Godmother notices the worry on her face immediately and frowned slightly, not knowing what would cause such a reaction. "Princess Aurora also told me to tell you that it would just be her tomorrow."
This immediately put Mal's mind at rest a little bit. She could deal with Aurora, from the brief conversation they had last time she was at Castle Beauty Mal could quickly grow to like her. But that was when Mal realized how Fairy Godmother had started off that particular explanation. "What was the other thing?" Mal asked. Now she felt a little more relaxed she was able to reassure herself that she wouldn't be getting sent back to the Isle, but that feeling didn't last long.
"This." The Headmistress stated, holding her hand out. A confused Mal looked at the older fairys hand but her confusion soon turned into shock as Fairy Godmother's wand appeared. Mal was more sure now then she had been before she was getting sent back to the Isle. What shocked the purpeltte was that Fairy Godmother then placed it on the table in front of her. Mal wouldn't even have to fully reach her arm out to grab it. "I know you, Evie, Jay and Carlos tried to steal it the night you came here." She stated. "Didn't you?" She asked.
Mal nodded but her eyes never left the wand that sat on the table in front of her. She couldn't understand why Fairy Godmother had done it if she knew her and her friends had tried to steal it. "Yes." Mal admitted. She really didn't want to lie to the Headmistress, she was one of the few people who didn't treat them like outcasts here. The teen lifted her gaze to Fairy Godmother's and found understanding and concern on her face. "But I don't understand. If you knew we tried to steal it why didn't you have us sent back to the Isle?" The teen asked.
Fairy Godmother smiled at the teen and moved to sit next to the purplette, leaving the wand on the table. "Because I saw how you all started to fit into Auradon in your own ways. I saw Jay and Carlos fitting in with Tourney, Evie flourishes in the classroom especially in her Home Ec class and you Mal. I saw how you changed when you started dating Ben." She said and Mal couldn't help but smile at the mention of her pseudo siblings, at least she wasn't the only one who had noticed it. "You all started fitting in and accepting who you truly want to be. I wasn't going to send you back to the Isle for something that was probably your mother's plan." She told Mal.
At the mention of her mother, Mal was shocked. She had no idea how Fairy Godmother knew it had been her mother's plan and not hers, but it made her feel happy that she knew it wasn't her plan. The Headmistress chuckled lightly at the look of shock on the teens face. "Honestly Mal, did you think I wouldn't work out Maleficent sent you here with a revenge plan? It's just her style. She gets what she wants and someone else takes the blame." Now on that Mal had to agree. It was very much her mother's style.
"I don't want to help her but I'm worried." Mal admitted to the older fairy.
"Worried about what, child?" Fairy Godmother asked the teen. Although she was fairly sure it was that she was worried about Maleficent's reaction the older fairy wanted to be sure. She didn't want to jump to the wrong conclusion. But as Fairy Godmother asked she saw Mal tense slighlty and she knew she wasn't going to get an answer.
Shaking her head Mal responded, "Nothing. Was that everything, Fairy Godmother?" She asked and the older fairy nodded. With that comfirmation Mal left without so much as a glance at the wand, making Fairy Godmother smile. It was that action alone that secured the feeling she had been right to give them another chance and not report them for attempting to steal her wand.
