Chapter 30
Apparently Malleus never had a sleepover before.
So Roxana introduces him to ‘pillow fight’.
It ended up with Sebek screaming.
“HOW DARE YOU THROW A PILLOW AT MALLEUS-SAMA ouf!” Sebek fell down from the impact of the pillow.
The culprit ?
Malleus, who was smiling.
The sleep over ended up in chaos because Roxana, Malleus, and Lilia used magic, so Grim, Sebek, and Silver stayed in their own corner playing Wizarding Chess to not get hit by the cross fire between the two fae and the ouroboros.

Lilia looked at Grim, Roxana, and Helia.
Grim, Roxana, Helia hmm. Lilia though. Grim, Roxana, Helia hmm, Grim, Roxana, Helia hmm, Grim, Roxana, Helia hmm, Grim…Roxana…Helia…
“Roxana where’s Sally ?” Lilia asked.
Roxana stopped combing Sebek’s hair. “She’s around”
“Around Diasomnia forest ?” Lilia asked.
“No, in Slytherin dorm”
“YOU LEFT THE BASILISK IN SLYTHERIN DORM WITH THE OCTAVINELLE STUDENTS ????”
“I warned Azul” She shrugged.
Lilia gave her a look. “Did you ?”
“I wrote in the contract that I will not be responsible for any corpse or accidental petrification” Roxana said, continuing to comb the hair of Sebek. “I am preparing the anti-petrification potion so don’t worry, but it’s not my fault Azul didn’t ask why I added that in the contract”
Sebek was not embarrassed no he was not; he seriously was not ! Roxana did not treat him and Silver like a child, she didn’t !
“And besides” Roxana smirked. “He was asking for it !”
Lilia sighed. “As long as no one dies”
“No one will die ! Just petrification” Roxana smirked. “A lot of petrification”

The Octavinelle students shivered as they went down to the basement.
No…it’s a dungeon ?
“Who the heck has a dungeon in their dorm ?” Octavinelle A asked.
“Slytherin apparently” Octavinelle B said.
“Moving stairs, portraits that can curse you, now a dungeon with a creepy head statue of a man with his mouth open, what next ? A MONSTER ?” Octavinelle C screamed as he entered the ‘mouth’ with the others.
“Don’t jinx us !” Octavinelle D said.
“Hey guys…Why is there a mirror here ?” Octavinelle A asked.
“That’s a big ass mirror…”
Bright yellow eyes reflected on the mirror and the moment they looked directly at it, the Octavinelle students knew no more.
The floor underneath them opened to another chamber, it was like they didn’t walk down to the dungeon in the first place.

Jade couldn’t stop the paranoia in his veins something told him that this dorm was wrong, that he wasn’t supposed to be here, that it’s dangerous.
Every cells in his body and natural instinct told him to run, run, run, and never return, because he was the prey to a huge predator lurking around.
“Aww, look at that, the little filthy breed is scared” A voice said from besides him.
He looked at the portrait to his right, there was a name on it.
Lyra Black
The woman in the painting was sneering at him. “I can’t believe my dear let you in here filthy breeds, you don’t belong here, at least that dragon fae has something to him, but you ?” She scoffed. “Should have eradicated your kind !”
Jade glared at the painting. “What…”
She just scoffed before she walked away, the woman was not in the painting anymore.
Jade nerves didn’t calm down at all and the woman’s comment just made him angrier.
“Jade”
The eel merman turned to look at his brother.
Even Floyd looked furious. “I don’t like this place ! I tried everything to destroy those painting and nothing works ! Not to mention I called for the other stupid guppies and none of them responded”
Jade paused at that. “Wait…where was the last time you saw them ?”
“They went down the basement” Floyd said annoyed.
“Floyd, go and report to Azul, I will go down and check on them” Jade said as he walked away.
“Yeah, sure ! Anything to get away from this creepy place” Floyd said as he got out of Slytherin.
Jade looked around the dungeon, the statue of the head of a man at the end of the dungeon hallway had it mouth open, he took his pen out ready to cast a spell in case there was anything here, his instinct screamed more at him the moment he entered here…
But there was nothing, only a giant mirror.
Something moved from behind him, he turned around but there was nothing, something moved again, this time he looked at the mirror he was about to cast a spell but was too late.
He already locked gaze with the bright yellow eyes reflecting in the mirror.

Dear Mister Crowley.
If you find petrified students, do not worry ! They are alive and I have the antidote, but just so you know. Azul should have been careful while signing that contract with me, the students will be free soon.
I just want to cause panic to Azul, watching people’s plan fail and them panicking about it is fun.
Signed Roxana Lestrange.
Crowley busted out laughing as he finished reading the letter.
As for the letter, it burned itself the moment Crowley finished reading it.
“A perfect follower of evil indeed”

*Coral Sea*
“This place is beautiful” Roxana said.
She continued to swim; her lower half was that of a snake which gave her a better way of swimming.
The museum in question was locked, but nothing an opening charm couldn’t fix, there were guards at the door, so she used a notice me not charm and entered from the window to the right.
Roxana searched for a bit until she found the picture in question.
“Just a bunch of merkids what does Azul want with – oh ?” Roxana noticed the octopus in the corner. “Oh~ So that’s why !” She smirked.
***
Floyd run to the infirmary as fast as he could, panic clear in his eyes, he slammed the door open and found Crowley and Crewel taking with each other, both professors stopped their conversation the moment they saw him.
“Mister Leech…” Crowley started.
“Let’s me see my brother” Floyd said.
Crowley stepped away from his path, and Floyd slowly walked up to the petrified Jade.
There was clearly fear in Jade’s eyes and so was it on the other petrified Octavinelle students.
Floyd didn’t know who to blame.
Azul for making a contract with the wrong person or Roxana the one who did this.
***
Azul panicked. "The plan was perfect, everything was perfect, how did this happen ? No, no, no, I can't afford for my plan to fail...did she...did she have magic all alone ? And she hid it ?"
