Sherri felt discouraged. Perhaps being a newcomer had its disadvantages as she hadn't known where doors led and where each of her classes had actually been. The boy was looking for the greenhouses. The only things she could figure out were the seventh floor and which staircases had led to the ground floor. Sherri wasn't too familiar with much. "Sorry, I'm only a first year. I would only suppose the entrance," Sherri answered, a small thumb pointing in its direction.

"Bah I say! But not to you dear, to this whole institution! It's a sturdy old thing and the dark atmosphere is romantic in itself, but blast it all why, tell me, WHY does no one think of a map? A pamphlet? Maybe the occasional exit sign? Anything!" Chaucer's old school was only constructed in the early 1900's and was quite modern as far as wizard academies went. While the idea of living in an ancient laberinthine castle initially roused his imagination, now it seemed to be a right bother to merely navigate from one floor to another.

And would it have been such a sin to label the broom closet more appropriately? Who in history had mistaken such a thing for an actual door before?

"Well there are only two ways out of a maze: one is to have the foresight to bring along a piece of thread, but since I am lacking there, I must instead follow alongside a wall until an exit presents itself." He made a melodramatic sigh; at this rate, it would be dark before they reached the Greenhouse.
