"Milady, look! She's awake!"

Melenas gasar mean-

"Good. She seems to be ok. And there appear to be no signs of any severe scratches or marks on her."

"We shouldn't keep calling her 'baby'. She needs a name."

"How about [REDACTED]?"

"Yes. It suits her well."

~Ramshackle Dorm: Meryu's Room~

*Knock, knock*

"Hmm?"

A knock on the door aroused Meryu from her sleep. Who could that be at this hour?

She got up, donned the jacket for her official Night Raven uniform on, and went down the steps to answer the door.

And lo and behold, it was Ace Trappola. Wearing a heart shaped collar on his neck. "I'm staying here." HUH?! "I'm never going back to Heartslabyul!"

~Ramshackle Dorm: Main Lounge~

Grim, groggy from being woken up in the middle of the night, stared annoyingly at Ace as he, the aforementioned redhead, and Meryu were all sitting in the lounge. "What are you doin' in our dorm?" he said irritably.

"...I ate a tart."

"? A tart got you collared?" Meryu wondered. Who gets this mad over sweets?

Ace began to relay to the duo about what had happened shortly after they went their separate ways for the night.

~Flashback~

He had returned to his dorm after the fiasco back at the mines. "Can't believe I missed dinner..." His stomach growled in protest. "Hopefully, there's something in the fridge I can eat real quick."

Like a thief in the night, Ace snuck over to the Dorm Kitchen and with steady steps walked towards the fridge. Completely unaware someone, who was guarding the halls, was following him. Opening the door to the fridge, his jaw nearly hit the floor at what he saw inside.

Three Humongous tarts were on display, each one a unique flavor from the last!

"Whoa! This is a lot of tarts! Surely they wouldn't mind if I ate just one!~" Carefully, the ace of hearts snagged a piece of the strawberry tart and took a bite. The flavor sent him to the heavens. "DELICIOUS!! This tart is out of this world!"

"As it would. It was Trey's hard work that made these tarts exquisite." Ace's stomach plummeted to the ground. He slowly turned his head to the source of the voice, and came face to face with his Housewarden.

"H-hhh-Housewarden!?!?" he squeaked.

The ruby haired boy crossed his arms, anger written all over his face. "You have some nerve sneaking about at night. AND to be feasting on one of my tarts." He walked towards the First Year, like an executor ready to kill his victim. "Rule Number 89 of the Queen of Hearts' Laws: One shall not eat a tart unless they have had the Queen's Consent!" Pen raised, Riddle commanded his spell. "Rule breakers like you deserve to be punished!"
