Chapter 11: TOUR 1

Cleo

After we ate Mistress Igraine stands up to announce something "Students attention please, after you eat the remaining time of this day will be yours to explore and tour inside the campus. Make this time useful and use it to see everything here and gather some useful information especially first years. Seniors you may also guide the first years or even give them a tour and please do give them some basic histories to answer their questions especially those students from mortal world. But before Senior Head of house please do usher you Freshmen members to your houses and lead them to their designated dorm rooms. Tomorrow is the official start of classes don't be late students. That's all for today, You may now all precede."

The students applause and one by one the teachers make their exits. And we were lead by our senior to the house of penumbra.

The houses are separated to the main building. Penumbra House is located on the right side of the main building before the Nimbus House. Each side of the main building has 2 houses and on left side the puissance and haywood house are located.

The only way we could enter to the Penumbra house is through a long tunnel of vines and flowers. Its quite magical though especially there are pixies as they call it flies everywhere. They are just like fairies they are cute but you really sea their difference, they don't have any wings at all and they are glowing.

One of our senior said that they are a forest spirits thats why they are glowing and could fly without any wings. They have only one task to protect and care the plants and trees and everything within the forest. I think they are the one's whose responsible to the beauty of this tunnel. The vines and the flowers look too healthy especially the flowers they bloom beautifully.  

One of our senior also said that each houses also has the same tunnel. Those tunnels are the only way in, it is to prevent other houses members to trespass without any permission. The only deference is that the tunnels flowers also possess houses colors. For example we are now walking inside the tunnel to Penumbra house. The flowers that are blooming in here are all yellow flowers and that is also the case to all houses.

We arrived in front of the Penumbra house. It looks like a little mansion with just 3 storey floors. Ree and I is still walking side by side and she still hooked her arm to mine she really like to do that.

The moment I got my own fairy we decided on what to call them. Mine was Shine and her's she name it Tinkles.

And I think they really like their name. They just sit on our shoulders as we walk. And I study the house in front of me.

The house is surrounded by different colored flowers, and the sides of the building are almost green because of the vines crawling in it. At the very top an Owl statue was in place. A senior said that the owl was the Animal house symbol.

We proceed inside, and the first thing we saw is the living room. two large leather sofas facing each other, a table in between, a fireplace at the side . There are also spare sits at the back and a crystal chandelier illuminating the whole room .

"Freshmen's! I am Mark Willow, Senior head of the house and Welcome to the Penumbra House. This room is what we call the common room or you can call it a living room in a normal house. This room is where everyone could met and hangout to your fellow house mates. And this room is also use to held meetings for important announcement and activities. You see those two stairways side by side leading to the second floor? Thats where the rooms are." He's the Senior from the dining hall, so he's the Senior head of the house no wonder he knows everything.

He continued to give us more informations "The right side will be the dormitory for females and on the left side are for males. Each rooms are consist of 3 beds so you will not be alone you will have  your roommates. I will give you your room keys now with numbers in it, and it's up to you to find your room and roommate with the same number." He call one student and the student walks in front with a tray full of keys. Senior Mark snaps his finger and the keys vanish on the tray suddenly a key appears on my hands.

I hold the key and look the number engrave in it 22,

"Hey Ree what your room number?" I ask her after I see my room number.

She open her hands and let me see her key " 22, yours"

I smiled widely and exclaimed  " were roommate Ree!!!" 

" really?! We are definitely meant to be Cleo haha" she joked.

Senior Mark once again talk "When you got your room number, you can now proceed to your rooms. If you need anything you can ask me or some of your seniors, they could also tour you to the campus. Freshmen's, Once again Welcome to the Penumbra House may we have a fruitful year" He finishes and leave.

We directly proceed to the stairways and go to our designated room. Our room is located on the third floor. Ree said that the house has 50 rooms, 25 rooms each dormitory.

We are now in-front of our room, it just had a normal wooden door with an owl engrave in middle and also the room number.

We walk inside, the is not big not small either just enough for 3 people. There are 3 beds each had a small study table-drawer and chair on its right side. Under the table it has two drawers for an additional storage. A small lamp each and a crystal chandelier above casting a warm grown on the whole room.

The room is mahogany in color all are woods from ceiling to floor and walls still in medieval style. Except on the far left of the room there is a large white cabinet that is covering and glued on the wall. It has 3 double door maybe each one for us. And on the far right side of the room there is an addition door maybe it leads to  the bathroom.

On the far side of the door leading to the bathroom there is a crystal window overviewing the back garden, that give the room a natural glow.

We proceed to our beds and put our things in it, I just have my small backpack while Ree had her suitcase. I choose the bed on the right side beside the window and Ree choose the bed on the middle. We just sit for a minute then suddenly there a knock on the door.

"I'll get it maybe it our last roommate" Ree said then she stands up and walk to the door, I just nob my head.

She opens the door which reveals a mahogany haired girl with a bang. She smiled shyly.

"Hi, I'm Yna room 22 right? I will also be your roommate" she introduce herself.

"Yes, come in I'm Vivoree but just call me Ree and the one sitting on the bed is Cleo"  Ree introduce.

" Nice to meet you" Yna smiled then proceed inside with her suitcase and into the last bed beside the large cabinet.

"So whats your plan on the remaining time?" Yna ask as she sits on her bed.

"'Maybe just unpacked first then take a little rest then we can proceed to the tour what do all think?" I suggest.

" that a great idea, we are all tired from the ceremony besides it still 12 in the afternoon we still have plenty of time" Ree said and Yna also agreed.

So we take a rest first before exploring this hell of a large campus.
