The most dangerous woman on campus has just told me she's pregnant. The second most dangerous wants to discuss her feelings.The third is redecorating. And the fourth keeps offering to kill anyone who upsets me.
It's not even Monday.
I survived mercenary contracts and a dockyard full of demons. And what was my reward? A promotion to Deputy Headmaster, a school that's finally solvent, and a Ministry Compliance Inspector who keeps scheduling "private meetings" to discuss my unconventional pedagogy.
As if that wasn't enough, all of Ravenwick's new money has brought the High Council sniffing around for oversight, and the Otherside incursions are getting worse. And someone's running demonic artefacts through a shipping subsidiary they think I don't know about.
Oh, and the Headmaster wants me to host the biggest Open Day in the academy's history. One at which every parent, politician, and journalist in the magical world is expected to end. He calls it a showcase. I call it a target-rich environment.
They have politics and demons and a timeline to the end of the world.
I have four women, a Glock, and a nursery to build.
Welcome to the hardest job in education.
