Dawn's POV
It was midnight as the day was now over; I was lying in my bed in Ramshackle Dorm, still awake as I had trouble falling asleep after yesterday's events. From being chased by a pair of twins from Octavinelle, our encounter with the students from Savanaclaw, and that game of Magical Shift the boys played against Leona and his team made me feel too anxious to relax in my room. If that wasn't bad enough, the special bracelet I got from my grandpa for entering high school is also missing; I noticed this the moment I saw my wrist bare as I was changing into my pyjamas, which made me more depressed. Besides my smartphone, my bracelet was a special item with strong memories of my family and home.
As I let out a sad sigh, I looked over to see Perry sleeping away on the top right corner of my bed; as Riddle promised, he came by just before evening to bring Perry back to me and thanked me for allowing him to have my plush doll for a while and returned to Heartslabyul. I looked at the other corner and saw Grim snoring away as he slept. "Huummmnn... Mnya mnya... Didjya see my super shoot...", he mumbled as he snored. I smiled a bit at how Grim must be dreaming about being an all-star Magift player. Since I won't be able to sleep through Grim's sleeptalking, I decided to go outside and get some fresh air to help me relax.
I got out of bed, put on a jacket provided by Professor Crewel and went outside my dorm without making any noise to wake up Grim and Perry. As I stepped outside, I instantly felt the cold breeze of the wind hitting my face and sat on the steps of the dorm; even with a jacket on, I rubbed both of my arms with my hands to keep myself warm. Once I did, I found myself collecting my thoughts about today; my thoughts suddenly shifted towards that Dorm Leader Leona, the way he played Magift was brutal and what he said about me made me furious.
"Little roar...", I said with disgust, just thinking about how he mocked me had got on my nerves again. I took a deep breath to calm myself down as I said, "I wonder if I'll ever get home..." It's been over a month and I was apprehensive about how my family and friends were doing while I was gone. I looked up at the night sky to see the moon glowing bright and the stars twinkling in the dark; just seeing the stars always gave me a sense of hope that I would always be alright no matter what happened. As I got up, I took a few steps away from the porch, went to a nearby tree and leaned against it; never did I take my eyes away from the stars as I tried to keep my memories of home in my mind. It was then I remembered an old song my grandpa taught me when I was just a child and how we would sing it together. I closed my eyes and let the memories of my home flood my mind as I started to sing.
This looks familiar
Vaguely familiar
Almost unreal yet
It's too soon to feel yet
Close to my soul
And yet so far away
I'm going to go back there
Someday
Sunrises, night falls
Sometimes the sky calls
Is that a song there
And do I belong there
I've never been there
But I know the way
I'm going to go back there
Someday
Come and go with me
It's more fun to share
We'll both be, completely
At home in midair
