When Adrianna and Dmitri came down to have their breakfast, they found Nate waiting for them. Adrianna smiled at him.
"I will join you," he declared.
Adrianna frowned as she couldn't understand what he meant. When she realized that he wanted to go to college with them, she laughed.
"I mentioned it to him and he insisted on wanting to come," said Dmitri while glancing at his nosy friend.
"Well, how is Ookashi?" asked Adrianna while adding marmalade to her toast.
"She is fine… doesn't like to see me, but gets angry if I don't show up often… I don't know what to do… She makes me so confused…" replied Nate. His brows knitted as he said that. He looked miserable.
Adrianna pursed her lips. She felt guilty for jeopardizing all of their relationsh.i.p.s.
"Don't blame yourself," warned Dmitri as he listened to her thoughts.
Nate waited for them as they finished breakfast. As soon as they were headed to college in Nate's car,a huge battalion of wizards and witches appeared and followed them from all sides on their brooms. Nate looked out and stopped the car. "What is going on Adrianna?" he asked, becoming worried.
"Don't worry, it is the usual drill! They just have to follow me everywhere. After the competition, Isidorus has become very finicky about my security. I think, because Fleur couldn't come this time, he added more guards than usual.
"Adrianna, if humans see them flying around like this on their brooms, they will freak out!" replied Nate as Dmitri chuckled.
"Nate, I know about the treaty. They will keep themselves invisible and only come forward if there is any danger. Currently, there is none, so nothing will happen. Okay? So drive without worry," assured Adrianna.
"Okay… if you say so…" he replied as he looked at the bumpy road ahead of them. He so wished to get it paved. To his surprise, as soon as he wished for it, the road ahead miraculously became plain and smooth. He stopped the car and scratched his head, "Did we take the right route?"
Dmitri smacked Nate's head and said, "Drive!"
Adrianna laughed.
On the way, Adrianna said, "I would also like to go and meet Ed, as well as get my bike back."
"Sure, but Ed has moved into a new cottage in an undisclosed location," replied Nate.
"What? When did this happen?" she asked, shocked for not knowing anything about it. She was angry with Dmitri for keeping it a secret. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"It was necessary Adri. Very few know about his location because he is in perpetual danger now. Cy destroyed the cottage when he couldn't find you there. Ed came to know about it later as everyone was busy with the marriage rituals. When Ed returned to this realm, the wizards had to shift him to a location unknown to all," explained Dmitri.
Adrianna's anger flared up. "Why did Cy destroy the cottage?"
"Most likely because he was tricked by Isidorus into staying there while you were to be marrying me. He probably destroyed it out of vengeance."
Adrianna narrowed her eyes and said, "I still want to visit."
"It's not safe Adri."
"I really want to Dmitri."
"Okay. We will visit on our way back."
They reached the college in the next half an hour. After parking the car in the parking area, they got out to stroll over to Adrianna's chemistry wing. She felt so happy to be there again that she left the two of them and excitedly jolted across, over the bushes, and into the garden.
All the wizards and witches were circling the area in invisible mode. When they saw their queen running around and jumping up and down like a small child, they were shocked.
She laughed like a small child and couldn't contain the excitement. All the students who saw her were surprised to see her after so long. She headed to the notice board to see her class schedule. Her next class was about to begin in ten minutes. She mentally communicated to Dmitri and Nate and she would be attending her next class despite their protests.
She went to the lecture hall and noticed that some students had already arrived. They all looked at her and greeted her curiously, as they saw her after a long time. She went to sit with them. One of them enquired, "Adrianna, where have you been all these days? It's been over a month. How will you catch up?"
Adrianna chuckled and said, "There is only one solution to this problem – Niiya!" As soon as she said that, everyone started laughing. They all knew how close the two of them were.
"I heard that you and Niiya are no longer friends," asked one of the jealous students, trying to provoke her.
Adrianna lowered her head. She didn't know how to answer the question so she ignored it.
Suddenly, someone pointed out, "See, Niiya came with his girlfriend."
