The ceremony was about to start—the yearly ceremony for new students... The Housewardens all sat in their respective positions, other than Malleus, who hadn't been invited.

Crowley stood on the stage speaking to the students, holding the microphone in his hand.

Night Raven College—an all boys magic school, a top level magic school. The students all had magic, varying levels and kinds of magic. Seven dorms— Heartslabyul, Diasomnia, Savannahclaw, Ignihyde, Octavinelle, Pomefiore and Scarabia. Heartslabyul, modeled after the Queen of Heart's strictness— yada yada yada, you know the deal, all dorms have a special quality.

The Dark Mirror sat in front of a wall beside Crowley, the floating coffins either in front of it or to the side of it.

One of the coffins began to shake, startling Crowley.
