M/n was the first to wake up the next morning. He saw Crewel sleeping and decided not to wake him up. Though he wanted to stay longer, he had class to attend. M/n quickly wrote a note, placed it on one of the tables and left.

Dear Divus,

Thanks for all the fun. But sadly, I have to leave early. Don't worry I'll cover all of our classes today. Think of today as a rest day for you. I know you never take days off.

-M/n

He got to the classrooms and graded a few papers before the students started pouring in. Today he had the second years in the morning, club activities, first years, lunch, then the third years. Not to mention he also had an unbirthday party to go to. Gods it really was going to be a long day.

M/n was walking to the teachers room when he got stopped by Ace. 

"Hey Professor!" he ran up to M/n and tried to catch his breath. "You're going to the unbirthday party right?"

"Uh yes. I believe your housewarden has met my requirements for my presence there. Why do you ask..?"

"Oh no reason. But I wanted to tell you that there is a dress code. Cater didn't give us much to go on but I just wanted to let you know that he's probably gonna give us some stuff when we go this afternoon."

"Oh well thanks for letting me know. If there's not anything else I shall see you later then." 

"Yeah OK bye!" Then he ran off. It was for a moment that M/n smiled. Though he shook it off really quick. He was getting too used to this place. That was bad. There was no need for such relations. Once he cleared his head he kept on walking until he arrived at Crewel's room. M/n opened the door and saw him at his desk grading some papers. He walked in and closed the door. The man at the desk turned his head and frowned at who it was. 

"You could've woken me up. There is a reason as to why I don't miss days. Crowley came pounding on my door."

"Oh yeah I forgot he did that. But you needed a break."

"And I know you do too. I appreciate you trying to make things better for me but why don't you start with yourself. In case you haven't noticed a lot of people care about you here. It's for the  best that you take time for yourself."

"..." 

"Now I'm probably guessing that you came to check up on me. I'm fine but thanks to you I won't be able to walk for a little bit. Now lunch is almost over. You'd better start getting ready for the third years."

M/n nodded and left the room without a word. Though he thought that Crewel was right, it wasn't worth it to get something as trival as sleep or rest days. Taking days off was not allowed in Snezhnaya. Work, work and more work was all it was. Besides finding a way home was more important. Also focusing on what he could improve on with his research when he gets back to Teyvat..

"Ok class that will be all for today. Please pack up and get out- I mean exit the room quietly."

Everyone gave a weird look but did what they were told. Soon the bell rang and they were off back to their dorms. Trey waited by the door for M/n. Once M/n had stepped out he began to walk to Heartslabyul with Trey close behind. He hadn't noticed him until they had gotten to the transport mirror. 

"Oh Hi. You were.there the whole time weren't you?"

"Yep. Also I think Ace informed you about the dress code correct?"

"You would be correct. He said that Diamond would be taking care of that right?" He didn't notice that Trey's eye twitched just a little bit. 

"Uhm yes that is what'll be happening. Oh, better not be late or else Riddle will have both of our heads.." 

Both sighed and walked into the mirror. When they reached the end M/n was met with a blizzard of red. 

'Gods what do they feed these roses-' He thought while trying to regain his senses. Trey looked over at his confused professor and chuckled. 

"Most people from outsider dorms react this way when they first see this dorm. But you'll get used to it. Oh by the way, before we start..do you wanna see the Hedgehogs?"

"What are Hedgehogs?"

Trey had a blank stare on his face. He made the ultimate decision to go bring M/n to the animals regardless of his answer. Once he laid his eyes on the multicolor Hedgehogs, he fell in love. In the heat of the moment he asked Trey,

"Can I keep one of them?" Trey looked at him and said,

"Oh uh- Yeah sure Ill give you all the supplies to take care of them." He had not just realized what he had just agreed to. "I'll drop one of them off tonight sense you can't really hide them in the party."

Trey couldn't see it but M/n's eyes were glowing. He finally got up from the ground and went with Trey to the courtyard. All the while M/n was thinking about all the possibilities of things to do with his friend. The boy right next to him was just snapping out his dazed state and scolding himself for even letting someone just take an animal from their dorm. Both were walking along until 3 Caters came up to them along with a group of first years. 

"Hey guys! Glad you could make it." The ginger was smiling brightly as if he had saw an angel. "Okay, all you beautiful body doubles, that's a wrap!"

"Aye-Aye Cay-Cay!" Then all the Cater's disappeared as if they had never existed in the first place. 

"Alright I believe it is time for us to head to the party. One must never be late for such an important occasion." M/n said smiling at his students antics.

Trumpets sounded as soon as they arrived. Trey had gone off the go accompany Riddle as he walked down the aisle of grass. As Riddle strode down the path and talked about the requirements with his vice, he spotted M/n with Cater and the Freshman. Though he hadn't been true to his promise he made. Riddle had collared some of his students but only for a little bit before they could report it. But what his professor hadn't  known wouldn't hurt him. After all his presence was enough to keep Riddle happy. For now..
