Chapter 6 - 6. Agreement with Lolita

"Yuri, where are you?" shouted Alby who was worried about Yuri's whereabouts, as well as Professor Pilius who helped Alby find the student's whereabouts. School hasn't started yet, but cases are coming to Professor Pilius' frustration. The two of them shouted throughout the very wide hall of the dormitory, several children also helped to find Yuri. However, the boy was not found either and Professor Pilius was sure that Yuri had run away from the dormitory.

"There's no point in looking for Yuri, it doesn't look like she's in this place. He has left the dormitory without permission," said Professor Pilius guessing. Alby looked at Professor Pilius with a sad face, he couldn't possibly go to this dormitory if Yuri wasn't around. Then, what about Yuri's parents who always ask Alby about the boy? This will be a burden for Alby.

"Use your magic, Professor. You should be able to find Yuri accurately," Alby suggested. The white-bearded man looked at Alby then shook his head slowly.

"I can't do that with magic. A missing person will remain a missing person and cannot be found by a Professor like me. Only the wizarding world police can use such high-level magic," said Professor Pilius who was also sad because he couldn't find Yuri with his magic.

"I thought you were great, but you're just an impromptu wizard," said Alby curtly. The kid who had a stupid face said that boldly, Professor Pilius was also annoyed with the boy who had made it difficult for him. "Hey, in the wizarding world everyone has a level just like in the human world. I am the principal, how can I match the police? Our education and magic majors are different, of course," said Professor Pilius making up stories so Alby wouldn't keep pushing him.

Alby just snorted and then left the gates of Hankey Pankey's dormitory looking for Yuri's whereabouts. It's too early to say Yuri is missing, it could be that the boy is outside the gates of Hankey Pankey. Alby guessed right, he found Yuri who was sitting near the trash can quietly with a frown on his face. "Yuri, what are you doing here? Everyone is looking for you, let's go back inside," said Alby trying to make Yuri leave the place. Yuri shook his head quickly then let go of Alby's hand, he was in a bad state.

"I'm going to sit here until my mood improves, I promised Lolita I'd start another fight with her when I learned about magic. We're going to pit magic power," Yuri said with a frustrated face because she didn't know what would happen if she lost against Lolita.

Hearing his friend's words, Alby was surprised because Yuri was desperate to make the agreement with Lolita. Everyone in the wizarding world knows that magic is very dangerous when it's done in a fight.

"Stupid! You can't just promise, your life is in danger if you fight with magic games. Our parents once said that we shouldn't learn magic just for fighting, you promised them that you won't commit crimes with magic that's why you can be in this school. Then, if you break your promise and you are in danger with that magic what should I tell your parents?" asked Alby angrily.

"But, Lolita always takes me lightly. I can't just stand still, nothing will happen to me as long as you help me. Two against one, he definitely won't win," Yuri said with a sly smile.

Alby didn't know his best friend's plan, but Alby didn't think it was a good thing. "Stand up, you don't have to listen to that little girl. She's the only girl in this dorm, maybe she just wants to be special and is looking for attention." Alby said that seriously because he knew Lolita chose this dorm only because she wanted to be special.

Yuri sighed softly, he knew that Lolita just wanted to get attention. However, he was still very annoyed with Lolita's behavior of challenging anyone without fear. "I think you're right, but he's too annoying and I'm sick of his behavior," Yuri said as she stood up and looked at Alby with a face full of anger. "Come in, it's getting dark," said Alby changing the subject. They finally returned to the dormitory with sour faces especially because they had to pass through room number thirteen. Yuri was in room number fourteen while Alby was in room number fifteen. Yuri glanced at room number thirteen with a sour face, it should belong to him not Lolita. "Leave it alone, keep going," Alby warned. Actually Yuri would be willing to give the room to Lolita, but the girl's behavior was too much. Deceive Yuri's pity for him even though it was just Lolita's trick to get a room with a beautiful view outside the window. After they arrived in front of Yuri's room, Alby waved his hand at Yuri. They split up here because in the Hankey Pankey dormitory one person has a room each, Professor Pilius plans to add more dorm rooms if the school goes well.

Arriving at the room, Yuri saw a soft bed like in his own house. He felt that he would feel at home in this hostel, even Hankey Pankey's dorm only charged their parents for food and did not receive anything other than food donations. However, just as Yuri closed her eyes she heard a loud noise coming from the room next door, room number thirteen. Yuri stood up and was curious about what had happened. "From room number thirteen? What else did that kid do to make such a loud noise?" asked Yuri who was wondering why he could invite Lolita to this dormitory because the girl could only riot in the dormitory. Even Yuri was sure that Lolita always troubled all her family until she was sent to a dorm so that her family could be more sane because Lolita was no longer in their house. With slow steps, Yuri walked down the hall of the dorm which was already dark. It was quite late and the hostel didn't allow the children to sleep after nine o'clock. Professor PIlius would throw a tantrum if they disobeyed the rules. Yuri was also afraid because if he was caught by Professor Pilius he would definitely be punished to go out at this curfew let alone go out for no reason. The boy crept up to the door of room number thirteen, aka the room where Lolita was.
