Kamille looked confused for a moment, as she lead him outside and into the gardens.
"Oh? Don't get ahead of yourself just yet...... You said you didn't want to use your magic inside because you were afraid to make a mess. Well. You can do it here. I'm sure no one will mind."
Even the gardens were a bit more agitated than regular, as they could spot in the distance a big boulder that felt very unnatural against the neatly cut lawn and gardens... Some students giggled and seemed to try to approach the giant boulder to touch it, until it started moving and making it clear it wasn't actually some kind of stone: the black drake raised his head in annoyance, growling softly as a young student managed to touch his tail, glaring at the kid... but ultimately too lazy to get angry enough. The black drake let out a puff of smoke from its nostrils, blinking slowly, sleepy, before hiding his head beneath his wings once again.
Kamille didn't even look like she acknowledged its presence.
"Elder Agnew told me some good things about you, but I would like to see it for myself, if you would. Don't worry, I'm not here to test you. A stone wall sounds good enough."
While she did say it wasn't a test, it sure felt like it. As the other students swarmed the tiefling to congratulate him on his own abilities, Kamille made a mental note to learn more about him later on. Maybe he was in need of help too, but she didn't want to assume.

Edward nods and prepares to cast stone wall but gasps. He watches as the drake slept in the corner, being doted on by the younger students and runs over. Pulling out a notebook, he immediately beguins sketching.
"My stars, a black drake. Its magnificent, the perfect balance of ferocity and majesty. That smoke tells me he's a fire breather, oh this is the best day of my life! Finding a dragon, a tamed dragon at that, here in the school. My fortune continues to astound me"
A student looks over at Edward and giggles "You use a lot of big words talking about a funny old dragon."
Edward chuckles and rubs the back of his head "Side effect of spending most of my time in books. Still, I wonder where he came fro-Right! The test!" Edward quickly shuts the book and spins around. Edward does a short sprint before stomping his foot, simultaneously raising his arms up and summoning a large stone slab of bedrock in an explosion of dirt and grass.
To his suprise, he actually gained the attention of a few students himself.
"Nice job! I'm still learning that spell, only can get the rock to come up about waste high."
"You're studying the earth domain too! Awesome! Lets trade notes sometime, I got a lot of the minor spells down if you need some pointers."
"Hey! You know stone shape? Maybe we can make a statue of the dragon over there!"
Edward blinks, face growing pink. He was unused to such attention from others. It was...nice.

Harlequin comes outside to get out of the crowd and sees Edward surrounded by people he then looks next to Edward and sees the stone wall and immediately understands the situation, he happily walks over to Edward and says “good job you did something, you do have magic” he then goes over to kamille passing the wall he casts ice over and freezes the wall then elbows it breaking it into pieces, he then asks kamille “when are we doing the exam”

The drake raised its head again once Edward approached, blinking lazily to him, but otherwise not showing any signs of aggression. Upon mentioning he was a "tamed dragon", he did puff a bit of black smoke towards his face, apparently annoyed. His eyes were red and luminescent, each one of his scales polished like a black mirror. For a second he turned his head towards the Witch, with a soft, low growl. Kamille chuckled.
"No, none of these are my hatchlings..."
But once Edward turned to cast his spell, Kamille flashed a gentle smile. Yes, that is what Elder Agnew had told her, that Edward knew a bit of the Earth Domain magic, in hopes that it would get to her heart to stretch her hand towards him. The Elded didn't have to make such a point, but still. And, as far as she could see, he was gonna get along with the other students as well. She probably wouldn't have anything to worry about, just occasionally checking up on him.
Then, Harlequin came in to see what it was all about. Harlequin seemed a bit more confident and in control of his abilities - as he would show it time and time again, freezing Edward's wall of stone. She would probably get to know a bit more of him through Sor'Adien's secretary in a moment.
"You two should probably head inside once again and talk to the person on the balcony about it. They will be able to direct you accordingly. I have no actual ties to the Academy itself, so I will not be able to guide you around."
It's been a long time since she visited the Academy, and although it didn't look like it changed much, her eyes saw it differently. It's been a long time indeed....
Kamille offered them both a gentle smile, guiding them both back to the main hall.
"I will hear more about you both, in time. But for now... Take care."
While she directed them back to the balcony, Kamille took the lead of the angry halfling that was waiting impatiently for her, following along one of the halls and barely keeping up with her hasted steps.
[Exit]

Edward coughed as the dragon blew smoke in its face then looked between Kamille and the dragon. Edward bowed his head "Sorry, I thought you were with her. I meant no offense to you..."
The dragon snorts and goes back to sleep, clearly done with the sudden noise around it. As it did, Edward heard a loud crash and saw Harlequin break the tablet, causing debris to rain down on the scattering students.
"Woah woah woah! Watch it! You're gonna hurt someone doing that stuff!" Edward shouts, running over. As he did though, student's flocked to Harlequin in a similar manner to himself.
"Hahahaha, that was awesome! It was all BSSSSSHHHH! Ahhh! Run! Great job man!"
"Yeah, causing the natural cracks in the stone to expand with the ice, not to mention the sudden shift in temperature was very smart. You're gonna do well around here."
"Indeed! Both of them will!"
Looking up, Edward and Harlequin would see a tall, radiant Elven woman in wizards robes standing on a balcony over the gardens.
"I'm Ellowyn Thistlegrove, part of the staff. I've heard you two are here for entry?"

The elf waves at them and Edward re-enters the building, letting his new acquaintances know to find him later. As he once again found himself in the large hall, he was greeted by the Elf and the Halfling that brought them inside.
"Welcome, both of you. I'm sorry it's taken so long to get to you Mr.Harlequin, we're a bit busy at the moment. Seems there's a magical disturbance that's causing us a bit of havoc."
Edward opened his mouth but Ellowyn raised her hand "Our staff of tenured wizards are already working on it Mr.Thane, there's little you can do they can't do upside down and backwards. For now Ms.Mullberry here will show you to your dorm. It's not every day a student is sponcered by one of the most magical people in Charon."
Edward blushes and looks at his feet as he follows Ms.Mullberry down the hall. He really hoped he lived up to the expectations being Kamille's hopeful brought. He was eager to try but...he was just Edward.
Ellowyn looks back over at Harlequin and nods "Follow me. We'll start with your basic studies exam. This will see what your level of education is." she says, leading him further into the building

“Finally” harlequin says he fallows the teacher to do his exams as Edward goes to his dorm harlequin starts the writing section of the exam jealous of Edward being able to bypass doing the exam.
Harlequin worked so hard to get to this point, he learn magic since he was 5 learning all the magic he could as well as learning the stealth of an assassin, his parents payed insane amounts of money to get him here and he wanted to make them proud so he studied for this exam day and night but all this seem worthless when Edward just strolled in with a sponsor by just being talented, this made harlequin angry but focused on passing the exam to show up Edward.

Harlequin was taken to a small drawing room with a large desk that had the test on it. It seemed to be about five pages long containing a variety of questions on it.
"You'll have forty minutes to finish the test. If you finish early, I'll be in the next room." Ellowyn says, leaving Harlequin to his test.
Meanwhile, Edward was now inside a modestly decorated dormatory. It had two beds, two desks, a pair of wardrobes and a trunk for his belongings as well as a large comunal book case. Not only that, but while he may have skipped the actual test, Edward still had to fill out a questionnaire to determine what classes he'd go to.
"Alright, you're reading, writing and mathmatics are all good. Ms.Kamille proved you can do magic. You should get your schedule in the morning. Any questions?"
Edward nods "Where's my roomie? I'd like a chance to get to know them if at all possible"
"You lucked out. By being sponsored, you were shown to your room first, your new room mate will be along when they finish their test."
Edward nods "It's not Harlequin is it? It's not that I don't like him, it's...actually yeah, I don't really care for him. He seems to have it in for me."
Ms.Mullberry rolls her eyes "First come first serve, if he finishes his exam first, he's your room mate. And unfortunately you'll need to wait a week before requesting a room change."
Edward nods and opens his mouth, only to be interupted by the Halfling "While sleeping with the dragons in the garden isn't against the rules we request that all students please stay in their dorms."
Edward rolls his eyes "Fine. Thanks anyway mam. I'll see you around?"
The halfling shrugs "Perhaps. We'll have to wait and see."
Edward nods and starts to unpack. As he does, he opens the trunk to find a small mouse looking up at him.
"Hello there! Aren't you cute?" Edward coos, picking it up gently and rubbing it's head with his finger. It was a normal looking mouse by all accounts, beige fur, brown eyes, funny little nose. It squeaked at him a bit and Edward chuckled "Hehe, you trying to say something little guy?"
The mouse hopped off his hand and ran over to a piece of charcoal and a parchment. Edward yelped as the creature began scribbling with the chunk of coal it managed to crack off.
"What are you...oh wow." he muttered. On the parchment the Mouse managed to write him a message in rather decent common for a creature with a brain the size of a lental.
I'm a girl actually. Got any food?
Edward blinked a few times and shook his head "It's a building full of magic, of course they have magical rodents. Err, Sorry mam. As for food, I got a cracker" he says, taking out another part of his rations and giving it to the mouse, who ate it happily.
"So, wanna be my pet? Free food and attention, plus you don't have to deal with predators." Edward offered. The Door mouse responded by scurrying onto his lap and falling asleep.
Edward smiled and stroked the mouse's fur "Thanks Liz."

Harlequin finishes his exam early since he knew all the answers from studying since he was ten, he hands then booklet to the teacher, she looks over it and gives one hundred percent then she askes to see some magic so harlequin does the same trick he showed kamille and passes the test, he gets shown to his dorm and opens the door and pauses “of course this is just my luck, hello Edward it seems we’re roommates” harlequin walks in and sits down unpacking

Edward was reading a book, Liz reading on his shoulder as the two look up as they here the door open.
"Hey there! I'm Edward, it's - you isn't it? Son of, hi Harlequin. I knew, I knew my luck wasn't going to last forever damn it. Okay, clearly you don't like me, can't say I'm a fan of your attitude myself. Lets just do our best to leave each other alone and get through this with as little casualties as possible. Sound good?"

“Right sure I mean we are going to be living together for awhile so we need to a least be a bit civil” harlequin finishes unpacking and goes over to Edward to set some rules “ok here are some rules: one, no loud noises, two, no one else in this roommate without informing me beforehand, three, make sure your side is clean, four, don’t mess with my side, five, NO ANIMALS, that rat is gross.

Edward narrowed his eyes while Liz looked around confused. "One, two, three and four are absolutely fine. I'm pretty quiet myself in spite of me having a sunny disposition. Five is right out since this MOUSE is highly intelligent and gentle. Since we're dividing things anyway I don't see why it'd bother you so long as she stays on my side of the room. Hell, I can even keep her out of your direct line of sight if you want. But she's staying with me."

Harlequin thinks for a bit “Fine keep it on your side and make sure it’s quiet or It’s going out” harlequin says as he starts reading a book on magic, while he reads he continues talking “other then that do whatever I don’t care” harlequin then starts Decorating his side of the room.

Liz stuck her tongue out at him and Edmund rolled his eyes.
The rest of the day went without incident. The next morning, the pair woke up and found themselves in the same first class of the morning, Geological Calculus.
"Morning ya runts. We got new students in the classroom. This is Mr.Thane and Mr.Harlequin, they'll be joining us for our lessons."
Edward waves awkwardly. He wasn't quite sure how he got placed in this class, but he was gonna try to make the best of it.
