Deciding that before the weather got too cold, Mia headed out of the castle and onto the pathways towards the grounds to see what the groundskeeper had set up for them this year.

Her face winced a little when she thought about what she and Evelyn had done to the treehouse last term. Well technically Evelyn had set the thing on fire, she had just made it worse by trying to put it out and making the flames bigger instead. They really should have told someone about that.

Walking slowly and breathing in the fresh air, Mia looked up at the trees as she passed them by. Summer was her favourite season but autumn did have some breathtaking colours.
