The morning sun rose above the horizon. Cold spring of gentle breeze waving a leaf of trees, a piece fall of, dancing in mid air. Girls of students pass by as they happily talking, or simply discussing something. Shouts across the yard to greet their friends good morning. Some just got there with their luggage and souvenirs in hand. And others are already there, waiting for something to arrive.

The gate to the Academy opened, greeting another school year. A prestigious learning where magic can be taught, and still continue to bring out Witches to the world.

Luna Nova Academy.

In which a window can be seen, third floor of a building. Where dorms are use for students to stay, there in her room a girl stood in front of a mirror. Adjusting her uniform's ribbon, a wavy blond hair that goes down to its hip, her clear blue eyes examine her posture. All settled.

Before she take her wand on the desk, next to a picture frame, her hand stop. Instead, she gently pick up the photograph and watch it for a second long, a sigh escape her lip, then she smiled slightly. A little chestnut-haired girl wearing a colored white of witch hat with a small cape that ties around her neck, having the brightest smile infront of the camera. By her side was the six years old of her self, a carefree happiness in her face.

She unconscious place her hand on her chest, a faint sound of a bell blend in the silent. Her mind reminiscing..

'I wonder..' the girl thought.

"Haah! FINALLY! I'm back in my room" the door of the room open, A girl with wavy auburn hair in a ponytail walks in.

Another girl with raven hair follow suit, she chuckled at her friend demeanor "It's more likely if you say that in your own room back at your house."

Hearing her roommates voices, she gently put back the frame from her hands. Taking the wand beside it and put it into it's sheath from her side waist. She walks out on her side of the bed, passing her bookshelf as she get a view of her two friends.

"What can i say? It's much less annoying here. I don't have to listen to my mom's tiresome 'lecture session'.." The auburn-haired girl exhale deeply, rolling her eyes, her frowning brows say it all.

Her friend sweat-drop, then reluctantly laughing it off "Oh, poor you.."

"Greetings.. Hannah, Barbara." She walk up to them.

"Oh, hi Diana!" Hannah smiled, waving.

"Good morning." Barbara greeted

"Good day to you too."

Hannah's brows rise, curiosity struck "You're early to get here today"

Diana nod. "Yes. Headmistress Holbrooke request of my assistance, so i have something to take care of.."

"As expected of Diana! But, what did you do? It's only the first day of school, and your already on duty?"

Barbara clap her hands together with a proud smile "That wouldn't be a worry, Diana can handle everything!" Then her smile soften "But don't overworked yourself, though.."

The blonde girl cross her arm, with an adjust nod, her posture straighten. "I appreciate the concern, but it's quite alright. My task was merely simple, handling the students attendance was just walk in the park." she give a small smile.

"Oh! Speaking of student! We just saw the other transfer earlier. Pft! By nine, she was SO HILARIOUS!" Barbara cross her legs as she begin.

The auburn-haired girl give an amuse smirk. "Can you even believe it? That girl doesn't know how the leyline work!" Hannah laugh "The bus stop she say! I mean it's common sense. She should have known atleast that!"

"I know right? She's literally going to a witch school, like come on, even a child know that!"

"Well, that's to be expected from a witch-wanna-be." Hannah shook her head in disappointment.

The blond was listening to their conversation, but her mind is elsewhere. She's long awared of the two transferee, unfortunately she didn't have the full detail.

For her, she didn't think of it too much. There is a great benifit and a flaw of allowing a non-witch student to enter Luna Nova. Either way, the decision was not up to her.

"What do you think, Diana?"

The attention was back at her, she compost herself. "As long as this person doesn't cause any inconvenience for the school, it is not my interest either way. We already have enough.. rebellious students in this place." her face become sour as the thought of a particular flame-haired troublemaker.

She clear her throat, her voice was stern "Be that as it may, i suggest you keep your opinion to yourself. It is highly inappropriate to badmouth such stranger without any regards of meeting them properly. Give them some time to prove themselves."

"..Right"

Before Hannah could say anything more, a melody chime cut their conversation as well halt the other students.

The witches took out their wand as it vibrates.

A glowing emerald crystal with a witch hat that has the same color of it's body appeared, magically transported into each respective wand of the students, it flash an elated smile and speak with nsync of each individual's magical stick. Everyone focus their attention on the familiar smart crystal speaking.

"Good morning, Luna Nova students! The matriculation will be happening in the ceremonial hall, please proceed if you are finished organize your belongings. The ceremony will start at 7:30 today!" the little round witch announced.

Diana nod in acknowledgement "Thank you, Neby" it smiled, and the little projector vanished, the heiress put her wand back then turn to her roommates "..I believe that's our cue. Girls, shall we go?"

"Sure, hold on a minute."

While waiting for the girls to tuck their things, she put on her witch hat with blue band that signature her team color. Murmur and footsteps can be heard passing by their room, as she turn back to her friends, they are finish preparing and already put on their respective hat with the same color coding.

Diana nodded then turn the door opened.

Where another year she'll come across.

The least unexpected awaits her.
