TW: Alcoholism

Y/n:
I left the deans bathroom wrapped up in a towel, allowing for my dripping wet hair to fall on my back. I noticed the clothes left out for me on the dresser, while I looked around for the redheaded dean. I quickly changed and admired myself in the large floor length mirror. I quickly jumped when I heard her quietly come back into the room. I couldn't help but admire her beauty again as she walked in-front of me.

Lesso:
I came back into the room after I knew the girl was done changing, because I didn't want her to be any more uncomfortable then she already was. I looked down at her small frame and realized for the first time in how badly of a shape she was in. The clothes that had been impossibly small to begin with barely fit her. I noticed the deep bruises that littered her face, and legs. The sight made me want to hug her and promise that whatever she had been through was finally over and she was safe. But I was the dean of evil. I could appear to be so soft.

Y/n:
I felt her eyes on me the entire time she stood in front of me. I don't know what happened but suddenly I broke down in tears sobbing at her kindness. I felt strong warm hands around me as I noticed she had fallen to the floor to comfort me. I knew that this was a panic attack and I couldn't breath.

Lesso:
"Little one? Are you alright?" I asked softly not wanting to startle her anymore then she already was. I pushed my back against the wall and spreed my legs in front allowing for her back to lean against my chest. I slowly showed her how to breath as she copied my breaths. We stayed there like that for a while until I noticed she had fallen asleep. I knew it was passed dinner and late, but I didn't want her to wake up in a room alone so I carefully picked up her small frame and allowed for her to sleep in my bed for the night. After I knew she was sound asleep, I sat back down in my armchair near the fire and poured myself a tall glass of whiskey allowing for it to calm my thoughts as I watched her sleep.

Y/n:
I felt sunlight shine in my face as I finally woke up and realized that I was in a strange room. All at once I remembered the events of the previous day and felt slightly embarrassed. I looked around and noticed how the dean was sound asleep in a plush armchair with an empty glass in her hands. She looked perplexed even in her sleep. You didn't know what to do, so you just stayed there until you hear her quietly lay "you know that starring is considered rude in some places?" Your cheeks went flush as you realized she had been up the entire time.

Lesso:
My left leg felt awful this morning as I gripped my silver cane and slowly pulled myself out of the chair making my way to the girl. "I don't believe I know your name I asked." "My name is y/n" she said in a kind voice. "Thank you for letting me stay here last night" she said. I smiled and showed her to the dresser and opened the bottom drawer again. "I have all of these clothes just sitting here, and I was thinking if you would like, you may have them" I noticed how her eyes light up at this offer, and I felt my face go slightly warm. I pulled open my bedroom door and showed her to a room across the hall. That room hadn't been occupied in a long time and I knew that I wanted to watch out for her.

Y/n:
I giggled just thinking about all of the new clothes that had just been given to me as I proudly folded and hung them into my new dorm room. The room was a suite and only one bed was inside instead of the usual four. I got dressed and hurried to breakfast not wanting to be any later then I surely already was.

Lesso:
I didn't know what it was about her but I was deeply intrigued by her. Y/n" I said to myself. It was such a simple but yet sweet name, one that fit her perfectly. I walked to my office deciding not to go to breakfast, fearing I couldn't make the walk down. I knew it was early but I poured myself anther drink to relieve some of the pain. I heard a knock on my door and I used my finger glow to open it. Clarissa Dovey dean of the school for good and my best friend stood there looking at me. I didn't bother to change my clothes from the previous night and assumed that I looked wretched.

Dovey:
She had a drink in one hand and her bad leg resting on the table. Her normally frizzy hair looked like a cloud of ginger. I walked over to her and gently took the drink from her hand. "Leo, what's going on?" I asked with some concern. "Nothing Claire" she replied. I could tell that her leg was hurting her so I decided not to bother asking why she wasn't at dinner or breakfast. "Claire?" She asked me with a strange tone. "What is it Leo?" I asked her. "There's a new student of mine, her name is y/n, and I'm worried about her." I couldn't hide the shocked expression from my face at the news of Lady Lesso being worried about one of her students. She rolled her eyes at me and sighed. "I feel something towards her and I know she's hurt. I want to do everything in my power to make her feel safe again." She looked up at me with a saddened expression. I couldn't help but wonder about it, but I decided not to press to much. I instantly agreed to look out for her, noticing the slight relief in Leo's eyes after I said I would. "Thanks Claire" she mumbled softly as I saw her lean her head back into her chair and close her eyes. I decided to go and look for this y/n girl, while I headed back to my school to look for her.
