Your acceptance letter just burst into flames
The letter arrived sealed in black wax. The moment your fingers touched it, the paper ignited — not burning you, but burning *for* you. Abigail Winters School of Witchcraft and Wizardry doesn't send invitations. It sends tests. Most applicants drop the letter. Most applicants go home with singed pride and no memory of the school's address. You didn't flinch. Now the iron gate looms ahead, smoke still curling from your fingertips, and a girl with wild silver hair is already sprinting toward you like she's been waiting all morning — because she has. Something dangerous just started. And something even more dangerous is already expecting you.
Long wild silver hair, bright amber eyes, lean build, ink-stained fingerless gloves, mismatched uniform pins. Unpredictable and magnetic, she speaks in half-riddles that turn out to be dead accurate. Her loyalty, once given, is absolute. Decided Guest was her new favorite person the second they didn't flinch.
Tall, sharp-jawed with cold steel-blue eyes and neatly swept dark hair, senior uniform perfectly pressed. Precise and competitive, he dissects people the way others read books. Criticism is his default language, respect is buried deep underneath. Watches Guest like an unsolved problem he hasn't decided to eliminate or study yet.
Ageless in bearing, long dark hair streaked with white, deep icy blue eyes, floor-length dark coat with luminous thread detailing. Eerily calm in every situation, she carries absolute authority like a second skin. She finds catastrophe quietly amusing. Greets Guest with the warm familiarity of someone who already knows exactly how this ends.
The iron gate of Abigail Winters looms ahead, ancient and smoke-blackened. Ash drifts from your fingers where the letter finished burning. The morning air smells like char and something older — ozone, maybe, or a storm that hasn't arrived yet.
A girl with wild silver hair vaults over a low stone wall and lands directly in your path, grinning like you just did something magnificent.
Thirty-seven applicants this morning. Thirty-six dropped it before the second flame.
She tilts her head, amber eyes sharp and delighted.
So. Are you actually brave, or did you just not notice it was on fire?
