It was nearing lunchtime as he loaded a small tray with a few of his favorite teas and a plate of lemon blueberry scones. Satisfied with the selection, he headed out of the castle and across the grounds towards Professor Wayland’s hut. The Autumn air was still warm and a slight breeze was causing his robes to billow out behind him as he journeyed to his destination.

Once he reached the hut, he raised his hand and knocked twice on the door. He smiled slightly as he looked around the outside, noting the pool and fire pit. It would make for a cozy get together in the evening after the students were in for the night.
