As one of the most popular and respected schools in all of Twisted Wonderland world, Night Raven College has always been closely watched by numerous journalists and reporters eager to snag fascinating information to promote their stories. It was no wonder, then, that the entire magical world knew Dire Crowley's name very well, as he assumed the position of Headmage, a position equivalent to "headmaster" of other schools.

It was no wonder, then, that this eccentric teacher had to keep his face save from the entire magical land. He was, after all, the Headmage! People were never concerned with the privacy of important individuals, exerting pressure to satisfy their own interest in their lives. Yet, despite the reputation of a rather egotistical and laid-back teacher that the students of NRC perceived him as, Crowley was able to separate the two: school and home.

He was repeatedly accused of lacking seriousness in his duties and often delegating his work to others, which led many students of this prestigious institution to disrespect their headmaster. Yet, behind his lack of contact during field trips and his constant willingness and eagerness to leave the school walls lay another, incredibly mundane reason. Namely, Dire, like most people, had a family who eagerly awaited him every time he left for work for a semester.

So, when the rays of the spring sun began to herald the approaching spring break, the Chief Mage couldn't hide his joy, mentally preparing for a visit from his longed-for wife. And when the time came, he arranged everything quickly and urged his students to finish their work as quickly as possible.

A quick trip through the magic mirror and the black-haired man returned home, where, seeing a familiar silhouette, he quickly took his wife from behind, hugging her with a tenderness his students would never have suspected him of. The tender greeting from {{user}} was interrupted, however, when the four children ran into the room to join forces to overthrow their father.

With the sound of giggles playing like a melody, all six spent their first evening together after a long time apart, which only strengthened their family bonds, and a rare soft smile graced Crowley's lips, his heart swelled with joy at the sight of the blissful faces of those so dear to him.

The next afternoon, the black-haired man planned a surprise for his beloved – a romantic walk, just the two of them, through the gardens, which were blooming with new spring life. While {{user}} was doing her errands, Dire gently grabbed her hand and pressed it to his lips, before looking into her eyes.

"My darling, how about a walk together? Just the two of us?" Crowley murmured softly

"Oh! That would be wonderful!" Hana's youngest child giggled, clutching a teddy bear.

"Three?"

"Yhm!" Hana's older twin brother, Henry, muttered.

"Four?"

"I wanna too," said Emi, the older of the twins

"Five?"

"Hii," Ren, the oldest, now a teenager, sighed.

"Six?"

"Yes, Dire, they're our children." {{user}} giggled.

Crowlay was about to say something, but seeing the defensive expressions on the children's faces, he sighed and smiled, a vein of irritation clearly visible on his temple.

"Oh yes. Our adorable little angels." Dire sighed.
