Chapter Text
You knew your situation was unique, something straight out of an anime even. But you knew Dire Crowley would find a way for you to get home soon. You just had to be patient.
While you were stuck here, Crowley ‘generously’ allowed you to be a student at this magic academy. Having your dorm be selected by which of the seven had the least amount of students. Which meant you were now a heartslabyul student. Just until you were able to get back home.
“Now it’s unusual for us to have a female student, since this is an all-boys academy, so as for you having a roommate…” the crow like dean trails off looking at you. “I will have to talk with your prefect about room placement before you officially move in”
While you weren’t to sure why the dean of a magical college was so worried about you assigned gender, you won’t be living at the dorm for long. But decided not to fight the matter, the sooner you get to your room the sooner Crowley can start finding a way for you to go home.
The two of you walk through one of the magical mirrors, each one leading to one of the seven dorms. On the other side you are greeted by a lavish rose garden, you cant help but notice some of the white roses dripping with red paint. Curiouser and curiouser.
The dean continues to lead you through the baffling architecture of the dorm. You wondered how you would ever find your way around this place without an escort. Luckily, you won’t have to worry too much, since you knew this arrangement was temporary.
Finally, Dire Crowley stops at a door and knocks. “Come in” you hear from the other side of the door. “It’s probably best if you stay out here” Crowley smiles as he leaves you alone in the hallway.
You shift your weight from one foot to the other, feeling nervous being alone in this strange new place. After some time, you debated in your head whether or not to knock on the door yourself. But luckily, before you had come to a decision, the door opened once again.
This time the dean welcomed you into the room “this is the heartslabyul prefect, Riddle rosehearts” Crowley gestured to the young redheaded boy the room belonged to. You nod in acknowledgement to the dormleader, he returned the polite gesture.
“y/n, I assume?” the boy looks at you, studying his new charge. You nod again. “Seeming that all our rooms are made to have three boys to each room, the only private room being that of the housewarden. Dire Crowley and I have come to the solution of you sharing my room. Does that sound adequate to you?”
“Yes, sounds great!” you smile at Riddle.
“Good. I'll make the arrangements for you to move in. In the meantime, let me have Trey show you around” the prefect leads you out of the room. You follow him to a nearby door, a taller brunet boy opens the door. Riddle leaves you with Trey, who proceeds to give you a tour of the dorm.
You know everything Trey says goes in one ear and out the other, but you appreciate him taking the time to show you around. The two of you make small talk, and eventually you tell him about your situation. “Wait, so you know nothing of the great seven?” he stops, hazel eyes catching yours.
“The great what now?” you chuckle, finding this whole situation ridiculous.
“Oh no, I have a book I need you to read before you do anything else” the boy starts speed walking towards his room, making you practically run to keep up. He goes into his room, reappearing moments later holding the before mentioned book. “Promise me you’ll read this tonight?”
“Yeah sure” you say, not sure why he got so serious all of the sudden.
You finished your tour of the dorm, ending in the dining room where everyone had already started eating supper. You quickly spotted your housewarden, the only person here you knew other than Trey, and sat down next to him.
“How’s the room going?” how ask, clearly surprising the redhead with your familiarity.
“Oh, um. Yes, the room is ready for you to move in. Dire Crowley said you didn’t have much with you, so we arranged for clothing, toiletries, and bedding as well.” You stifled a chuckle at the blush that formed on his face.
“Okay, so after dinner we can head to bed?” you take a bite of your food.
“Usually, after dinner is time for study. But since its your first day, I’ll allow you to use that time to rest instead” He turns back to his meal, getting redder still. “Just don’t make a habit of breaking schedule!”
“Sure thing” you say smiling. It didn’t matter if you made a habit or not, you’d be home before long anyway.
After dinner, you settle into your bed. Riddle sits at the desk across the room, working on some schoolwork. And with how exhausting the day had been, you quickly fell asleep. Trey’s book forgotten on your nightstand.
