This was it. It had been only a day since the night before yesterday, when beloved 7th Year Ria Pocomtuc had sent the school in a nervous frenzy. Morri remembers exactly what she was doing that night. Staring. Just staring out of the window into the beautifully lit night sky. The head of her roommate and close friend Kat resting on her lap. They'd spent most the night deciding who to take to the Twin Academy Dance coming up, or if they should just go themselves. Kat had fallen asleep, and Morri was well on her way to doing the very same thing.
[36 hours ago]
The school rumbled. Ilvermorny shook. Morri remembered Horned Serpent dorm doors opening and the paddling of feet rush past her room, as she grabbed her wand and opened the door, waking Kat up in the process. She slipped on her house robes and peeked her head outside to see all of her housemates running to the edge of the tower windows to see flashing. Morri quickly joins in and sees a beautiful yet terrible spectacle. Thunderbird House was lighting up like lightning. She could see the glass fall from a window near the top floors down into the darkness of Mt. Greylock. The murmurs and shutters of her housemates begin to trickle into her ear like a fearful and foul disease. Some of the 7th year Serpents started to keep everyone calm, as the 1st and 2nd years begin to back away in fear. Morri takes a breath, exorcising the fear in her heart for what has hit Ilvermorny.
"Sasha, take the 3rd years and below and house them in the Serpent lobby. 4th and 5th years, stay here and guard this tower, if ANYONE or ANYTHING comes through these doors that aren't student, staff, family, or registered MACUSA blast them to Azkaban. 6th and 7th years, let's go!"
Sasha, a Serpent prefect speaks up in rival of Morri.
Sasha: "Who made you leader, I'm the prefect here I--"
"Do you want to tell the Headmaster you risked danger over your ego?? Suck it up and get it done!"

Morri follows behind the 7th years as she grips her wand with force. She could also see faculty in the halls, telling students from the other three houses to calm down. Everyone was murmuring about and on edge. House Serpent tried to move through the crowd, but was stopped by teachers. The Dark Arts Teacher Mr. Samson keeps everyone at bay, blocking off entrances to Thunderbird House as the rest of the faculty checks out the scene, wands equipped.
Samson: "Remain calm! Just a little tremor, nothing to freak out about. Go back to your rooms we are not under attack. Relax guys it's fine."
Students go quiet when they see a stretcher roll around the hall to Thunderbird Tower. From it, was Ria laying down. The entirety of the crowd went death silent as she rolled by, a part in the crowd providing a path for the girl to get to the infirmary. She wasn't unconscious, but her eyes...they simply stared so blankly. She was breathing, she was functional, but her eyes were so lost. The Headmaster, Agilbert Fontaine stumbles from around the corner, almost dazed and confused. Faculty immediately rush to help him, as he looks disoriented back into the eyes of his colleagues. Morri watched her friend Ria pass by her. Unlike Hogwarts, Ilvermorny wasn't elitist, it wasn't about pure blood of half or none. Here in America it was all about potential, what you choose to be. It was here that the Horned Serpent felt pure sadness and worry for the downed Thunderbird going past her. "Ria! Ria...." Morri spoke, but all she got in return was a stare. And Morri didn't see a person looking back at her, all she saw was a shell. Ria is carted into the infirmary, as the Headmaster speaks up, fixing himself.
Headmaster Fontaine: "I-- E-Everyone back to your rooms. Now! Ria had an episode, that's all. Everything will be alright. Get some rest."
He says nothing more and walks off to his quarters. Students were left baffled and stunned at the events, as the three houses looked into the eyes and emotions of every Thunderbird inhabitant, and they did not get the vibe that 'everything was alright'. Ilvermorny changed that night.
[Now]
This was it. Two nights ago when the incident happened. Rumors spread quickly, about Ria having a suicidal episode. How the blast of force came from nowhere. How her eyes turned black as space. Morri didn't believe it, just stupid Thunderbirds making up shit to be melodramatic and cope with the situation. Maybe Ria did have en episode, but the stresses of school, magic school no less can strike anyone with anger or depression. Ria's just probably having a hard time. Despite how popular and loved she is, though she seems invincible the girl is still human, like everyone. Morri was going to bring flowers by her station in the infirmary, but she wasn't there. Her bed was empty, instead replaced with more flowers than the school greenhouse. She had went to class, like a true Thunderbird. Even with her shit, she pressed on. Some say she ditched to get some air. Either way, Morri understood, she just wished she could do something more, that Ria would've been comfortable enough to talk to her if she was feeling so troubled. But now, now was a time for being a teenager. Ria would probably be doing the same thing if she were right beside Morri, and that is watching a daring, stupidly wild Horned Serpent by the name of Katalina Romanov try yet again to climb the Snakewood Tree. How many times she's tried, how many times she gets kinda high, only to fail and bust her ass. How many times Morri cries in tears of laughter at her roommate. Oh, but according to Kat, today was the day. Morri has made a thing of it, spreading the news all over school secretly to those who wanted to see the girl try the impossible. Faculty was kept well hidden from the fact, as students of various houses come and gawk upon the Katastrophic Katalina. Morri shields her eyes in the bask of a golden sun and high ass tree altitude, and looks back at Kat.
Morri: "You know you're going to get in trouble regardless right? Sure you wanna do this??"
Morri saw Kat's expression. There was no stopping the girl on becoming the first student ever to conquer the Snakewood Tree. Ilvermorny wasn't a school of world conformity and social trends. In a society of Trump, texting, and social media, The American magical academy stood apart from it all, they were their own beacon and system. Who needs phones when you have a reality such as this? At the anticipation of the viewers, Morri looks around to see the coast is clear, giving the nod to Kat to start climbing as she provides cover so teachers don't detect their schemes.
Morri: "Fumos!!!"
A wisp of her wand and smoke and mist shroud the base of the tree, providing cover for Kat. Morri smirks as the day starts up, and everyone who knows about this watched with a smirk.
