Where: Front steps of the castle
When: Morning
What: A tour 'round the castle.
Spencer clutched the large cup of coffee to his chest a little possessively and sat down on the third step from the giant doors. He'd Owled Jon Walker last night suggesting meeting after breakfast outside, and now he was occupied trying to remember at what time the rest of the castle ate. Spencer hadn't gone down to the Great Hall for breakfast -- it had been strange enough last night with shadows taking up a good portion of the corners, and Spencer didn't think he was quite ready to see exactly how empty it was in the full light of day. A trip to the kitchens for coffee and out there on the steps left him, he hoped, sufficiently awake.
He wasn't sure how they'd been selected for the tours, although he guessed that his appointment made sense. He'd spent most of the summer prowling the grounds, looking out first for the (many) hidden traps and dangers that had been planted generously through Hogwarts, and then hunting for supplies for the depleted greenhouses. He'd found plenty of both, and had the odd advantage of knowing the school grounds like the back of his palm by now. So, okay, the appointments had made sense. Mostly, Spencer was just glad that -- anyway. He wasn't going to think about this evening. He was going to make nice to Jon, and then go and hide in Greenhouse #4, the one hidden halfway into the Forbidden Forest, for the rest of the day.
The clock in the castle rang out nine o'clock, and Spencer stood up, hunching his shoulders against the cool breeze and blinking into the morning sun.
