Chapter 6
Roxana woke up after hearing the commotion outside, she opened her eyes only to be greeted by darkness.
What is this ?
She touched the place around her to get an idea of where she was.
I'm in a coffin ?
She kicked the lid off.
This place….seems a bit familiar…but I can’t put my finger on it.
She wasn’t even wearing the same clothes anymore ! Her necklace is still around her neck thank goodness she did not lose it.
Roxana put her hand in her pocket, she sighed in relief, she still had her wand.
She did not need her wand to cast magic anymore since she perfected all her spells wandlessly, but a wand still makes it easy for other things.
“I finally got in now….WAAAAAH HOW ARE YOU HERE ?”
Roxana turned around to see a cat with flaming ears.
This cat seems familiar….oh ! Isn’t he Grim from Twisted Wonderland ? It been a long time since I played that game, it’s a miracle I even remember him. Roxana though. It’s best that I search in my memory later, the world is really mocking me honestly, from Harry Potter to Twisted Wonderland what next ? Naruto ? I hope not !
She snapped her fingers and knocked him out, although she doesn’t remember exactly what happens after because she forgot a bit about this world, she does remember that this cat was a problem, she walked out of the room with the mirror in it and walked down the corridors.
“Curiouser and Curiouser…” Roxana said under her breath.
“Ah, I have finally found you. You are the new student, correct? I found you familiar you should really take care of him instead of leaving him like that ! Now come, we mustn’t be late.” The raven masked man who Roxana recognized as Crowley from the game Twisted Wonderland said who was holding Grim in his arm.
The said cat was glaring and struggling against Crowley grip.
If I remember correctly, this is a boys school. Roxana though.
“This ends the dorm assignment for the new students, I presume? Listen up new students. Here in Heartslabyul, I am the rules. Break them and it's off with your head.” Riddle firmly said.
Leona groaned. “...Uuugghh. The stuffy ceremony is finally over. We're going back to the dorm. Savanaclaw, follow me.”
“To the new students, congratulations on entering this academy. Enjoy your life here to its fullest. As the dormitory leader of Octavinelle. I will support you to the best of my ability.” Azul said with a smile.
“Which reminds me, where did the headmaster go? He flew out right in the middle of the ceremony...” Vil said.
“Abandoning his post...” Idia commented.
“Did he get a stomachache or something?” Kalim said.
Crowley barged in.
“Not at all !”
“Ah ! He’s here” Riddle said.
“I cannot believe you all. We were missing one new student, so I went to find them. You are the only one yet to be assigned a dormitory. I shall watch over the raccoon, so step in front of the Dark Mirror.”
“Mghgmh!!!” Grim struggled in his arms.
Oh…I remember this part; it will be fun to mess with the Mirror. Roxana smirked, she pushed the jewel of her sapphire ring, the runes activated and muted her magic aura.
Some magical creatures can detect wizards and find them because of their magic like dragons, so Roxana created this ring to be able to hide from them easily.
“State thy name”
“Roxana Lestrange.”
“The shape of thy soul is... ............ ........... I cannot say” The mirror said.
“Come again ?” Crowley blinked taken aback.
“I sense no magic in this one, the color, the shape, all nothing, therefore, they are suited for no dormitory”
Hm, easily deceived ? What a disappointment. Roxana though.
“An Ebony Carriage would absolutely never go to meet someone who can't use magic ! In 100 years, there has not once been a mistake in student selection. So why in the world...” Crowley mumbled something under his breath.
“Mghmgh... Pah! Then I'll take their place” Grim said finally out of Crowley’s grasp.
“Stay right there! Raccoon!” Crowley shouted.
“Unlike that dumb human, I can use magic ! Let me in the school instead! If you need proof, I'll show you right now!”
“Everyone, get down!” Riddle screamed.
Everything exploded in a light of blue fire.
Roxana pushed Kalim out of the way.
“Thank you very much !” Kalim said smiling at her.
Roxana didn’t respond and just gave him a look.
“At this rate, the school will be a sea of fire! Somebody, catch that raccoon!” Crowley screamed.
“Che! What a pain. “ Leona complained.
“Hmm? Aren't you good at hunting? Doesn't it look like a nice, plump snack?” Vil teased.
“Why me? Do it yourself.” Leona sneered at him.
“Mr. Crowley, please leave it to me. I'm sure the others couldn't stomach harassing the poor creature, so I will take it upon myself.” Azul said.
“That's Azul for you. Always trying to earn himself points.” Idia commented.
“Are you all even listening!?” Crowley screamed.
“If it's just catching some stupid raccoon, can't you do it yourself, Teach.” Leona rolled his eyes.
“For the last time, I'm not a raccoon! The Great Grim — destined to become the greatest mage ever — is me!” Grim shouted.
Roxana rolled her eyes and used a levitation spell on Grim without anyone noticing.
“NYA WHAT !!!!” Grim screamed in surprise.
Him getting levitated into the air gave Riddle enough time to use his Unique Magic.
“OFF WITH YOUR HEAD !” Riddle screamed.
“Nygah! The heck is this!?” Grim screamed.
“Laws of the Queen of Hearts: Number 23 ‘One shall never bring a cat into a festival.’ You being a cat means you've broken the rule. I shall have you leave at once.” Riddle said.
Roxana decided to ignore all that was happening around her for a while.
“Now then!” Crowley claps his hands, “Dorm leaders! Take your new students to their dormitories! And you”
He then turned to look at Roxana.
“Well, Roxana. This is a most unfortunate turn of events. I'm afraid that you will not be attending Night Raven Collage after all. Surely you realize that I cannot very well admit a student with no magical ability to my academy. But worry not. The Dark Mirror will see you safely home. Now, step into the gate, and visualize the place you whence you came.” He said.
Roxana stepped in front of the mirror.
“O Dark Mirror! Return this soul to where it belongs!”
“......”
“*Ahem* L-let us, er...try this again. O Dark Mirror! Return this soul—"
“There is no such place.”
“What?”
“There is no place in this world where this soul belongs. None.”
“How can that be? My, but today is a veritable cavalcade of impossible phenomena!”
“......” The dark mirror did not respond.
“This has never happened throughout my long tenure. I must confess that I am at something of a loss. “Tell me: From what land do you hail?”
“England” She said.
“I'm afraid I am not familiar with such a place. I am intimately acquainted with the origins of every student who has ever come here, and yet... This mysterious homeland of your eludes me. Let us go to the library and look it up, shall we?” Crowley said.
They both ended up in the library, with Crowley searching from where Roxana came from.
“There really isn't anything. Not only the world map, but the name of your home isn't written in any history. Are you truly from where you say? You aren't lying to me by chance? Looking at all this, you may have somehow been brought here from another planet... Or another world due to some sort of mix up.” Crowley said. “What did you have on you when you came here? Do you happen to have anything that can verify your identity, like a driver's license for a magic car, or a slipper...? You appear to be empty handed.”
“I don’t have anything on me unfortunately.” Roxana said.
Like I would let you touch my gold and my children.
“This is concerning. I can't just let someone who can't use magic to stay at school. However, as an educator, I can't just toss a penniless teenager who has no means of contacting their guardians out on the street. For I am gracious. Hmmmm... I know! There is an unused building on campus. It was once used as a dormitory in the past so if you can clean it up, you should at least be able to sleep there. For the time being, I shall allow you to stay there! Then I will look for a way for you to return home. My graciousness is limitless! I am a model for all educators. We had better be on our way. Let's head to the dormitory. It may be a bit old but there is a certain charm to it.”
