Chapter 5-2

"Snowpelt, Ash!"

I walked up to Mr. Manx and he handed me the potion. It tasted like sour milk, and then I walked towards the main hall.

"Body Hall!"

I looked down and saw that I was glowing red. I walked over to where Bram and Joy were standing with their red glows. I was still in semi-shock because I could never see myself as a warrior.

"Lady Luck is on our side! We are staying together for four years!" Bram said while hugging the two of us.

I think he might have bruised my ribs due to his vampire strength. I did not pay attention to the rest of the students as they walked up as well.

"I know everyone has been waiting, so here it is! Dinner!" Mr. Manx opened the doors and we walked into the dining hall.

"Ugh, I can still taste the potion; I hope that it doesn't ruin my appetite." I said as we looked around the room.

"I doubt anything can ruin your appetite for long." Bram said and I smacked his arm.

"You have a good point." I told him as Joy rolled her eyes.

There were four tables; one was full of adults at the front of the room. The other three had the three colors painted on them and they were full of talking students. The three of us saw Florence and Nova at the Red table, so we walked over to them. They both were wearing black blazers with a red fire on it; except Flo had an 'II' and Nova had an 'IV' inside the flame. I was shocked that they made jackets with wing holes in them for the werebirds. I guess they made different versions of the uniforms for all of the different werebeasts.

"Welcome to the Body hall! I cannot believe that all three of you got here! I hope that our rooms could be close enough so we can always talk!" She started blabbing on until Nova stuffed a piece of bread in her mouth.

"What she means is that she's happy that you're over here and it is time to eat."

"My favorite words of the day." I said as I started grabbing food to fill my plate.

"Nova, how come no one told us about the different halls before today?" Bram asked. "How long do the glows last?" He held up his red arm as he continued.

"Because we are not supposed to, that way everyone could make their own choices instead of following their friend's path. The luck that you three manage to stay together is incredible. I mean look at Viktor and Alex, they are in different halls, and they are nearly inseparable. Oh, the glow goes away by the time we wake up in the morning."

A tall pale woman with red eyes came over to where we were sitting.

"Hello, which one of you is the vampire, Bram Harker?"

Bram raised his hand while we all pointed at him.

"My name is Professor Luna Bloodmoon; you are going to be required to see me every morning right before dawn."

"Uh, okay."

"Good, well here is your first meal." she gave him a large glass of blood then walked away.

"I guess no one told her that I can stand the sun and eat human food."

"You're an oddball even among the oddballs." I told him in between bites. "Congratulations."

He patted me on my head then reached over to grab a slice of red velvet cake.

"Hey Nova, who are the teachers here?" I asked.

"You met Manx, and then there is Professor Bloodmoon, and Professor Crystal." Flo told me.

I noticed that she had a sort of dreamy look when she said 'Manx'.

"My dad is one of the Magic teachers here." Bram pitched in. "He was offered to teach because of his skill."

"The other magic teacher is Professor Sage; he is also the head of the Spirit Hall."

"So, who is the head of the Body Hall?"

"My dad, who is also the P. E teacher," Nova sighed, "it makes it so hard to get in trouble."

"Just keep hanging out with Florence, she attracts trouble," I told him.

She growled at me then I growled back at her.

"Then we have a substitute this year for English, Professor Jones."
