"Now, take off your hood, and approach the dark mirror so it may judge the nature of your soul
The moment of truth is upon us! Let us not dilly-dally any longer"
Holding a struggling Grim closer to her ,
Her inner organs probably enduring vibrations and beats worthy of a Heavy Metal concert from her heart
Silence passed as she did not move , sheerly too terrified to do so.

"You heard the Headmage, on your feet this instant!!"
Compared to his booming voice , Riddles scowl was definitely meant to look just as intimidating, but it only looked like a pissed off bunny in her eyes.
Kalim , however , bounded over to her , smiling as he crouched next to her, expression dripping with both empathy, and the sense of relating to her situation.
"Their probably super scared , Riddle.
We should make them feel safe , yelling at them is definitely not gonna do that, right?"
Turning his attention back to her , he gave a warm , reassuring smile. Even though her head was still down, she knew it was there.
"I know this is all really scary at first , but don't worry! All you gotta do is keep your chin up and face your fears head on, and then you'll be even stronger then you were before, and you'll have a reason to celebrate too!
Here, I can give you a lift!"
Standing up, he extended his hand to her, ruby eyes shining with pure joy and honesty as the bracelets hidden under his sleeve jingled at the motion.
"Do you trust me?"
𝑫𝒂𝒎𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒃𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐𝒐 𝒔𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒖𝒔𝒆, 𝑨𝒍-𝑨𝒔𝒊𝒎
"...ok.."
Reaching out her hand, slowly, shakily,
he grasped hers firmly, lifting her onto her shaking legs with surprising strength.
"And.. up we go! "
Holding her hand for a second more , he loudly whispered to her a reassurance.
"You can do this!"
She could only smile back in response and nod , the beauty mark near her lip lifted slightly by her dimples as he bounded back to Scarabias Podium
Standing up on her own now, with still quaking legs , she passed Grim to Crowley , pulling her hood tighter over her face as to block anyone from memorizing it.

Reaching the dark mirror , she removed her hood only slightly, moving her hair infront of her face to make sure nobody saw it
"State your name "
"......Do I have to?"
Unsuprisingly, she didn't need to turn around to know her query raised a couple eyebrows
"Indeed, your preferred name only. I cannot accurately judge your souls nature with a name it doesn't identify with."
𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒈𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒖𝒉𝒊 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒏
Fidgeting with a button , she debated the possibility of any danger with her real name.

"umm ... Ophelia... Avillon?"
".........."
"..........."
"................?"
".................I sense ..nothing from her, void , empty.
........
....There is no magic within her that is her own. Just large amounts of knowledge , nothing more, nothing less.......
Therefore there is no dorm appropriate for this soul, yet it is meant to remain here, though the reason for that is unknown to me."
As if an infection, a look of shock, confusion and disbelief was present on every occupants face, except her own, which was near void of emotion.
𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒚 𝒊𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒐𝒍 , 𝒂𝒄𝒕 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒍
"..as expected ..but damn.. I seriously just got dissed by a mirror."
Taking off her hood fully now, glossy brunette curls and waves cascaded down around soft sandalwood skin,
The shadow over her face lifted with the hood, revealing slightly pointed ears, a small scar lining the bottom of her left ear from when it had ripped open years ago, another under her right eye from where she had been bitten by a rapid dog years before.
Jade green eyes reflected the light around her, making her dark lashes more visible,
as well as bringing light to the scar across her head that disguised itself as a hairline, the widows peak hidden under her bangs proved it a facade. , yet the scar in question had caused her hair to grow in the direction as it would a straight hairline, aswell as it would grow with a widows peak
Though her pink tinted lips remained pursed, small dimples could be seen, aswell as a beauty mark that sat at the side of her lip as she did her best to gauge everyones reactions

Crowley was the first to talk, unsurprisingly.
"Never in the great history of this school has the dark mirror brought forth a magicless student , a young woman nonetheless"
He looked at his empty hands dramatically , as if he was in a sad breakup music video.
Somehow, she had a feeling it wouldn't get many good reviews.
Quirking her eyebrow up, she noticed a possible incorrectness to Crowleys statement, and before she could think better of it, said just that.
"Objection, what about Trans Females who discovered their gender identity while here? Their young ladies too , Jackass"
She snapped , noticing a somewhat shocked silence at her immediate choice to berate the headmaster, but some proud looks aswell
Crowley attempted to gather himself, obviously not anticipating her reaction beforehand
"Indeed , you are correct , but usually when this happens , we see to it they are transferred to a school with a Female enrollment option ,
Crewel also assists with purchasing gender affirming clothing, hormonal potions and more, but we have never had a Biological and Presenting as such-"
"I understand , Just make sure to be more clear next time instead of assuming. Now, How am I supposed to get home?"

"We can send you back to where you came from through the Mirror , ..where do you hail from, exactly..?"
"New York City, America?"

The Mirror flashed with light for a brief moment, but did not respond.
Fully anticipating this result, she decided to attempt at it once more.
"New York City, America, Earth??"
Nothing , Nada , Nien.
𝑾𝒐𝒘, 𝑺𝒉𝒐𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒓
Shrugging it off as realistically as she could, she gave a defeated sigh , shaking her head.
"Guess the Mirror failed Geography, or something, cause I'm damn sure thats where I came from."
Riddle almost looked blantently offended by her jest, even though it hadn't been targeted to him, or to anyone besides the mirror, he managed to take it personally.
"Is this some sort of Ill-Natured joke?
I know almost every contient , country and its captial like the back of my hand , and I have never heard of this "New York" you speak of, nor an "America" . If I never heard of it, then I highly doubt the Mirror has."
Lilia hummed softly , cupping his chin in thought, maybe thinking of it as a possible vacation spot.
"Sounds like it'd be a quite interesting place....
The sound of typing from the tablet next to the founding father aged student came , then stopped abruptly, as a shocked digitalized voice came through the blue screen.
"Wait, did you say 700?"
"Hmm? Did I?"
It seemed the Ignihyde housewarden was too tired to deal with pushing his query any further, sighing, and adding his two cents
"Anyway...Ortho cross referenced it, nothing.
Not even a gamer tag came up.
RIP your chances of getting home, I guess."
Silence followed his statement ,
If the Shrouds couldn't find it anywhere online , nobody could. That was just a fact.
All eyes turned in her direction,
6 different Daggers stabbing into her soul , , and a Foam light up sword that didn't know what was happening but wanted to included.
The entire scene was making her near shudder in pure fear.
"Can everyone stop staring at me? I just want to get out of here , ok?"
"Mood, I hate this too."
Facing the tablet , she gave the tech a slight stink eye, unsure of whether it could be seen or not by the programmer of said tablet, but also didn't care all that much.
" Yo Bluetooth, you're still in your room y'know, you don't get to complain."
His response never came
An unearthly stillness almost danced across the room , as if someone had paused a TV mid scene.
Even Grims struggling had stopped completely
𝑾𝒂𝒊𝒕..𝑮𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒔 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒈𝒈𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈?? 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅𝒏'𝒕 𝒉𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒚...
Noticing everyone besides herself seemed almost frozen in time , not blinking, nor breathing. Just like a portrait , curious , she turned to see Grim just....floating in the air?
"What the fuck is going on..?"
A soft Magenta mist covered the room, the inhabitants that remained unmoving had been painted in a purple hue, each surrounded by a swirling curl of magic. A combination of lavender, rose and cheesecake scents flooded her nose, creating a surprisingly calming aroma.
She immediately began scouting around the room for some form of evidence to hint at whoever or what was the cause of this, until something caught her eye:
A human esc silhouetted shadow passed on the wall, , a sharp grin , a fluffy tail and cat like ears , staining the wall , yet the shadows origin couldn't be seen anywhere.

"Hey! Are you the one sneaking around and freezing everyone in place. I saw your shado—-"
Right before her eyes, a flying figure leaned over her, quite literally looming above her,
Grinning like a Cheshire cat, quite literally.

AUTHORS NOTES:
Hellllooooo!!! Its a Me , Mario
I jest, its the author
Finally, the reveal Ive been excited to drop!!
Che'nya , our favorite Overpowered Cat-Boy, is our guide and helper character!
He will also be something akin to Adeuce , Constantly around the main character and doing stupid shit , or dragging them into stuff, or both
Obviously, Adeuce is still going to be a major part in the story, because I adore those dorks.
Che'nya is going to be more prevalent then in the original , and being our backup if all goes to shit.
Since he was the reason I found twst, I thought it only appropriate to give Che'nya a larger part in the story!
(I also love Cheshire cat themed characters, they always slay, his micro-bangs aren't the worst I've seen , and ill let them slide, since he pulls it off)
ANYWHO
Sorry its a short chapter , I hope you enjoy it!
