It happened on the first day of the week, they were having History class by 11—Allowing them enough time to do whatever they wanted before then.
When everyone had settled in class, Professor Norvic strolled in through his teacher's compartment. There were speculations about where that door led since it wasn't featured on the map, leaving them wondering if there were other compartments within the castle walls they had no idea of, and might never do so.
"Before we begin for today, class. There is someone special who will be joining your midst. You all are special, but for a couple of other reasons this individual carries even more merit amid you guys," Sir Norvic announced rather casually, catching them by surprise.
It had been weeks since he mentioned they would have others join them but none had come. They had naturally forgotten about his statement, but now it was back in their faces. Everyone kept quiet in anticipation.
