Y/N'S POV

"....I must say... It does have a certain...charm.." I stared blankly at the dorm, i glanced to my side to see Cordelia's reaction, she was cringing at the sight. I mean, it practically looked like a haun- actually, scratch that, it is a haunted house....? The plants were dead, there's so many cobwebs here and there, and the building seemed like it could fall down at any moment.

"It has too much charm," said Cordelia bitterly. I sensed sarcasm from her tone, which is understandable.

"Right, right. Please come inside," that crow smiled and gestured to us to get inside.

Seriously? Have he ever thought in at least taking care of this dorm? I shook my head and drove these thoughts away.

We entered the old building. Dusts piled like snow and most of the furniture were broken, the ceiling has some holes, rain water will definitely leaked in. To be honest, i just noticed while heading to Ramshackle Dorm, that i have my bag with a few things i need, Cordelia also brought her bag. 

And...

I may have picked up something along the way. Me and Cordelia managed to conviced him to let it stay with us, although Cordelia just straight up threatened the poor crow.

"Staying here would at least keep you from the rain. I will be in my office if you need anything," Crowley told us, as me and Cordelia nodded at him. "Well then, make yourself at home. Don't go wondering around the school. Goodbye~"

And with that, he left.

"By the way, Grim, why do you want to get into this school so badly?" I asked the furball, who was in my arms, in curiosity.

"That's simple! I'm a genius who is destined to be a great magician!" He proclaimed proudly. "I've been waiting for the Ebony Carriage to pick me up," his ears dropped down lifelessly. "But... But.... Hmph! The Dark Mirror just doesn't have an eye for this."

"You are weak when it comes to 'cute', 'fluffy' creatures," Cordelia sighed, "Here, Y/N, Grim. We need to clean this old dorm."

She then handed me a broom out of nowhere, she also gave Grim a dust pan and brush. Just then, i noticed that she was wearing a white apron, mask, and gloves, she even had her hair braided neatly.

"Ehh-!!?" Just a few minutes ago she was wearing the same robe as me and now she looked like a housewife.

"No complaining. If you want to live comfortably here, we must clean and renovate this dorm," Cordelia sternly said. "I'll clean the lounge first, then the rest. You both go upstairs and clean it."

Me and Grim stared blankly at each other before shrugging and went to work. I'm sure Grim didn't want to be kicked again by Cordelia, that must've hurt a lot, even with the protection spell.

Me and Grim headed upstairs as Cordelia tell us to, it was quite dark in the hallway, the air is cold. A chill run down my spine as i cautiously sweep the floor, fixing a few things here and there. "...I hate this..." I mumbled under my breath.

Three ghosts appeared out of nowhere, because they're ghost obviously. "Fgynaa?!" Grim yelped in fright, hiding behind my legs.

The ghosts laughed at his reaction while i stared at them with the 'wtf' face. (A/N: To put it simply, Tanjiro's face when he first met Zenitsu)

"We haven't had a guest in so long..."

"I'm itching for some action."

They laughed again, so i sighed. I'm already tired out from that quest back in Celedia and haven't got an ounce of sleep since Cordelia and i got sucked into a damn hole, enrolled to a magical school for boys, and now this?

"Celestine really hates me...." I sighed once again. 'Is it because of that accident? I was practicing a new spell in the field near a church, i didn't know it was an explosion spell and accidentally put the church in flames. Luckily no one died nor seriously injured, but....'

"The people here got scared of us and left."

"We've been looking for more ghost pals. How about you guys?"

"...You're basically telling me to die and join you." I deadpanned. "Sorry, but no. Also, we're basically dormmates now, please stop with the pranks." I continued sweeping the floor, don't gave a shit cause i'm tired.

The ghosts went silent, they apologized at us and disappeared.

"Good evening, i have graciously brought you supper," the Headmaster came in. We're currently at the lounge to rest for a while, which Cordelia already cleaned up earlier.

"Ah, good evening, Headmaster," I greet him back while leaning on the couch.

Cordelia asked him what brought him here, and Headmaster tell us that school will start tomorrow, he gave us our uniforms and magic pen. Since Grim can't write with his paws, Headmaster make a special modification and make him a brooch, although the crow's last words makes me want to put an explosion spell (the one i practiced and failed miserably) on him.

"It's already late, we should go to sleep," Cordelia said getting up from the couch and turn to me. "I'll be in the room next to yours, if you need anything," she then walked away.

I looked to my left to see Grim already passed out, i picked him up gently, careful to not wake him, and headed upstairs to my room.

"Goodnight, Grim," with that, i closed my eyes and drifted off to dreamland.

Cordelia's POV

"Y/N, wake up!" I tapped on Y/N's cheek, trying to wake her up. But unfortunately, she's a heavy sleeper. I sighed, crossing my arms as i thought of that one method to wake her up, it will work.

"....Y/N, i've cooked your favorite food," I said loudly, glancing over to the sleeping raccoon. "And i've prepared a can of tuna. if you won't wake up, then i guess i'll-"

"I'm up!" Both Y/N and Grim woke up instantly and ran past through me, heading downstairs quickly. I'm sure it was an instant regret for both of them, especially Y/N.

"Gah! My head—!!"

I scoffed at her words. I turned on my heels and walked downstairs. "Hurry up and eat your breakfast. Then go take a bath, you're reek of sweat," I directed the last sentece to Y/N.

I've eaten breakfast earlier, and i'm already in my school uniform which suprisingly fits perfectly. Somehow, i feel like i'm betraying Rubia Grace Academy.

After they're done with breakfast and Y/N's ready, we're off to class. When i was eating my breakfast earlier, Crowley came and inform me that i was in class 1-B whilst Y/N and Grim was in class 1-A.

"Well then, see you at lunch." I waved at Y/N and Grim before entering my class, Y/N waved back at me with a smile.
