Aldric stood, facing the entire student body who had been called up at dawn. "Students, I am sorry to say that I will be away for a while on business matters. In my absence, Professor Silver will be briefly taking over my duties. I shall return in a month."

Professor Silver cleared his throat as he came to the front of the stage. Using magic to amplify his voice, he had finally adjusted. "I am your temporary headmaster. You will address me as Sir only."
"Due to reports of bullying on the campus by several of the student body members..."
A few sniggers lurked.
