Fires Collided

I had to go check up on her.The flamekeeper was so hot that it burned me a little.While everybody was distracted I went to her room.I know she's keeping it around here somewhere.While I was going through her nightstand I found the immortal rose I gave her.She is taking it with her when she goes and comes back.I found the book and looked for a dragon.I memorized it and went up to the big tower's roof.I tried a couple times.More like 20-25.I don't know how long it took but when I finally did it I flew right over.It was so hard.It was dark.It wasn't really-Wow.It's like a meteor fell there.And what happened is nothing even remotely close to it.I landed and ran over."Rose!?Rose!?"I shook her.I yelled her name but she didn't wake up."ROSE!"Then she woke up gasping.Then she started trying to regulate her breathing."Was I far enough?"I got up."This is seriously your question?"She nodded as I helped her to get up."Is Alex ok?Wait-Ralph what the hell are you doing here?How the hell did you came here?"I pulled her head onto my chest and wrapped my arms around her.I placed my chin on top of her head."Alex is fine.And you were far enough to not hurt anyone.A few fainted when they heard your loud scream but it's fine.You're fine."She hugged me back tightly.But remembering she's engaged I let her go and took her arms around me off."You should get back though.Uhm...Crooks isn't taking this well."

Crooks.Right."He probably isn't.I-I-I should get back."I looked down at my bare foot then back at him."Thank you Ralph.I should go but uhm...do you mind leaving first?I-I want to be alone for a couple minutes."He was walking away but then he stopped and came back."On second thought don't come back.The whole school was shaken up.Like an earthquake.Take a few days off to cool down if you ask me."I nodded."I'll just head to my grandparents' manor then.Come visit if you can.And tell Alex I' fine and please don't say a word.That's all I'm asking from you."He nodded."Sure."Then he turned into a dragon and left.I stayed there and looked around me for a while then I did the same and went to my family's manor.I knocked on the door and Margie answered."Mistress Rosalind?You're bare foot and freezing.Get inside baby."She got me under her arm to make me warm.

"Honey take a hot bath.Relax and I will bring you some hot coco.Or coffee if you want."I sighed."No.Hot coco is good.Thank you Margie."I went into the bathroom and as soon as the hot water hit my body I felt like crying.Tonight I almost blew up my school.I sent a couple people to the hospital wing.I blew up.That slightly awkward moment happened with Ralph.And I just feel like they're all hitting me now and I'm losing myself in my tears.I sat down on the tub and just cried there.It felt like hours went by.But I got out of the shower eventually and Margie was waiting for me with hot coco and fluffy pjs."Thank you Margie."She nodded and left me alone to change.I did and went over to Babette.I whispered so the others wouldn't wake up.I opened the cage door and she got out."What are you doing here?"I placed her on my bed."I blew up.I lost it.I flew away before I did and yet I caused so many damage."I sighed."I fucked up.Big time."I drank hot coco and stayed warm for a couple days here.Before the week ended I was back at school.Headmaster's office was my first destination.

"Sit down Ms.Monroe."I did as I was told.I'm freaked out.What if they expel me?So I just blurted out."Am I expelled?"He shook his head."I need you to tell me what happened.Because this is clearly something even the strongest spells couldn't have handled properly."I nodded."I just want to say that I am really sorry.I didn't mean to.I went thousands miles away yet it wasn't enough.I'm so sorry.I never meant anyone to get hurt because of me."He nodded."I know.I know you didn't.And I know that you did everything you could.I believe that.But however...this did not just effected your club tower.The whole school heard you.It was a really bad exprience for all of us."I sighed."I know and I am ok with every possible punishment you can give me."

"At first I thought maybe I will give you a detention for the rest of the year in the herbology classroom,the greenhouse,but then I remembered that Mr.Qurtale is there and it's not much of a detention for you.Then I thought I would give you detention with Professor Doom but you enjoy that too.Then I thought about detention with Professor Dresden but you enjoy that too!I thought about everything!You enjoy all of them!I thought about library cleaning.I thought about creature walking.I thought about giant dog's feeding.NO!Nothing!You like the dog.You named him for goodness' sake!Creature walking is way too easy for you because you have tiny dragons.Yo love creatures."I chuckled."I'm sorry.What's my detention?"

"You are from now on obligated to participate every social event and practices.And you have to watch.I know you don't like it.Everybody goes but you don't.You don't watch the matches either.From now on you are obligated to."I stood up."No!No you can't do that!What?!Oh my God!"Headmaster Lyre is enjoying this a lot right now.That smile on his face.UGH!"You seem like you found the perfect punishment Headmaster Lyre.I should go and join my classmates in their class."He came over."By the way your class is Emotion Control with Dresden.Good luck with him frying you constantly for your lack of control."I rolled my eyes."Geez headmaster Lyre.Thanks.Big help.Wow."Then I left."I'm sorry I'm late Professor Dresden I was with headmaster Lyre."

"Go to your seat."I was going to sit next to Peter like I used to but now I have to sit with Crooks."Good girl."Then he placed his arm around my chair.I was about to focus on the class but Dresden was looking at me right in the eye."Ms.Monroe?"I sighed."Yes sir?""The last event you caused...did you even try?I teach you and you dismiss everything I say that could've prevented this?"I took a deep breath."I'm sorry Professor Dresden.I tried.It didn't help."He laughed."It didn't help?"I nodded.This is gonna end bacd.I can assure you.
