"...This has...too much charm." Grace muttered, staring at the building in disgust. It looks to be completely abandoned for quite some time and left in a very terrible state. "Quite delightful isn't it? Follow me." Crowley said, dragging her towards the entrance. He pulled the handle, but he only had to graze his hand for part of the door to fall off its hinges. "Cough... I'll get that fixed later, come along now." She rolled her eyes as they went inside. It is somehow much worse compared to the outside. There were layers upon layers of dust and cobwebs scattered everywhere. The wallpaper was torn and worn out and water was leaking from the cracked ceiling to the worn out floor, the curtains and furniture had holes everywhere. It looks like it has never been used in years.

"It's a sea of decay..."

"Well it'll at least keep you out of the rain." Drop of rain water leaked from the roof, tapping the top of her head.

'Well it's doing a bad job at it.'

She pulls the hood over her head, making sure the water drops don't touch her head. "Now I'm going back to do more research. Make yourself at home and don't go wandering around the school! Goodbye!" Crowley left her inside the ruined dorm. She picked up a book off the floor, covered in a thick layer of dust. She blew the dust off, but it ended up getting in the air, creating a thick dust cloud. Fanning it away, making sure not to breathe it in.

"Well, I better start cleaning. Hopefully that'll get my mind off.. everything." She said to herself. She picked up a broom and started sweeping up the floor as she was humming.

After a while the floor was looking decent. She hummed by her progress but sighed, knowing she has even more to do.
"I like to clean and all, but this... this is too much". The sound of thunder and rain reached her ears. "It's raining..." Each frail drop of clear water trailed down the windows at a gentle speed only for it to slowly grew to harder downpour.

"Hyiii! It's really coming down!" She heard a voice behind her, startling her a bit. She turned to find that cat again, he was drenched from the rain. He took notice of her. "Gyahaha! You've got this stupid look on your face like a spider being attacked with a water gun." He mocked the girl.

"I'll have no trouble sneaking back into the school. Come one, come all. If you think getting thrown out is gonna make me give up on getting in you've got another thing coming!"

She ignored his comments on her and wanted to ask him something that's been pestering her for a while. "Uh....Grim was it? Why do you want to get into this school so badly?"

Grim grew a beaming smile. "That's simple. I'm a genius who is destined to be a great magician! I've been waiting for the Ebony Carriage to come to pick me up." His smile fell. "But...but..."

"Hmph! The Dark Mirror just doesn't have an eye for this. So that's why I came here on my own. Not letting me in would be a loss for the world. Humans just don't get it."

She started to feel a little bad for the poor kitty. If she was able to, she'd gladly let him take her spot. It's not like she asked to be here in the first place.

Suddenly multiple drops of water from the rain outside fell from the ceiling, dripping down on top of his flaming ears.

"Nyaa!! So cold. The roof is leaking. Fgyaa! It keeps coming. My adorable ear fire is gonna go out at this rate." He covers his ears. "Well we better find a bucket then. Can you help me find a bucket for it please?" She strolls towards the closet, opening it to search through it.
