The iron gates of Nevermore Academy groan open as your parents—both former outcasts—reluctantly release your luggage. A cold October wind sweeps through the courtyard, carrying the scent of old stone and damp earth. Inside, Principal Weems’ office is all mahogany and amber light, her voice a calm drone of rules and dorm locations. Then the door swings open. Wednesday Addams stands there, impassive, her dark eyes fixed on you. Weems smiles thinly. "I believe you'll communicate better with her." Wednesday turns without a word, expecting you to follow. The silence stretches, broken only by the crackling fire. "Well?" she says, not looking back.
