Du Nord: The Believing heart lost years (EN)

Finally on Luna Nova

Thursday 1 September 2005, Luna Nova

"After all that walking, the years arrived when I started studying in Luna Nova, there I learnt about everything that happened while I was away from the Cavendish mansion, after working to get the basics I was able to live a decent year at The Last Wednesday Society, until the infamous day arrived, it was quite easy to persuade Holbrook to let me into Luna Nova, the money spoke loudly, as Finnelan and Badcock were very much against it, but soon one changed when they saw the amount of money I'd got, then the moment arrived, I'm already packing my bags, I take the Ley line and arrive in Luna Nova to study.

It's today, I start my journey here at Luna Nova, I've been so looking forward to it, it's my first year here at Luna Nova free from everything and everyone, I can't wait to see what I'm going to have here, I arrive to line up, still wearing my casual clothes, I'm listening to Headmistress Miranda Holbrook's speech, alongside other freshmen too.

"Here we are, starting another year here at Luna Nova, another journey is about to begin, since we have many new students who are coming from abroad, starting to study here, they have really gone a long way, my congratulations to these brave girls who have studied hard to come here, they will certainly bring a lot to our magic academy, in addition to being prepared to be very prestigious, it is not just anyone who comes here to Luna Nova to study, so let's admire these new students, who will be your future classmates and also teammates" said the director.

I'm just observing, there are lots of students, they're all different types, they're from different teams, you can tell from their uniforms, which one am I going to end up with, I can't wait to see, it's going to be like in those witch series I used to watch, I'm going to form my trio and we're going to get up to a lot of mischief around the school, cause a lot of trouble, then go on lots of adventures, I'm sure of it.

I arrive at the boardroom and finally receive my sashes, since I've bought the uniform, I'm on the beige team it seems, it hasn't even been mentioned who I'm going to be a colleague of, but it's good to know, at the bottom of the boardroom window, I notice that there's a glow, like a very distant flicker, but I just shrug, which before leaving I receive some orders.

"You've been lucky here Chariot Du Nord, Holbrook was very good to let you study here, but you should know that you should behave yourself, we haven't forgotten the outrage you committed four years ago, we're always on the lookout for every stupid thing you think of doing, here we follow the rules of the academy to the letter, any mistake you make will be the worst, be aware of that" Finnelan said.

"Calm down Anne, there's no need to get tough with the girl, she knows what she's done, she's fifteen now, she's grown up and matured, there's no need to pick on her, now go Chariot, find your team, make yourself at home in Luna Nova" said Mrs Holbrook.

"Thank you very much, I'll feel very much at home, it's been my dream since childhood, ever since I went to school here, I was very enchanted, my mums always talked about here and how it was the place where they met" I say happily.

"Oh good, I hope they're happy today, it'll make them proud when they graduate from here, remember to follow the rules, have a nice day Miss Du Nord" said the headmistress and I left the room.

Wow, I feel like I'm back in the magical years of my childhood here, it's like a dream come true, after so much hardship I'm here, I Chariot have become a student at Luna Nova, I can't believe it, it's so different that I'm a little ill-at-ease, ahhhh, it's like a dream.
I walk along the corridors, all bouncy and happy, I wave to the girls, but I don't see any of them waving back to me, what the hell, a girl with glasses and lilac hair waved back, but she's all shy, how strange, well it must be her thing, at least one of them waved to me.
I arrive in the corridor of my room, beige staff, it's exactly this way, I open the door, I see there's no one there, I don't think my colleagues have shown up yet, but I'm going to take advantage of it, luckily they didn't take my things and search them, I remember they warned me that this place is very anti-technology and it's always good to hide everything, that's why I left my mobile phone well hidden, I leave my bags in a corner and I see, they've taken the bed, apparently there's only the top bunk left
