Ian returned from his tour of the castle after having visited his classrooms for the year and reading their rules. He was a bit tired. He'd gotten mis-directed a couple times (stupid shifting staircases) and run into a couple of the more interesting occupants of the castle. He was surprised how few opportunities he'd had to encounter the house elves which serviced this massive operation.

He found a nice comfortable place to fall and leaned back as he would at home before landing on a soft cushioned pillow on the floor.
