Craig had felt embarrassed the previous morning when he'd come into his first class ten minutes late, having to explain that he'd been lost. Again. Some of the other students looked sympathetic to his plight, others snickered at him. He'd hoped that in a week's time, he'd be feeling more familiar with the place, but it just wasn't so. The school had an odd sort of magic to it, like it had a mind of it's own. Craig would go the same way to a class, but it would look different to him somehow, or he would somehow go through a door and he would end up in a different room than he expected to be. Even the buildings themselves looked a lot smaller on the outside than they actually were once inside them. It was all a bit disorienting to Craig.
When he mentioned his concerns to his teacher, the man laughed and said that was normal. He offered to set Craig up with a student who could give him a tour, and he gratefully agreed. The next day, Craig left his own dorm, Sphinx, and walked from the cliffside building toward the woods, near which was House Ladon, where his tourguide had arranged to meet him. Craig waited outside the old building, looking at the dead garden with the old well that was beside the dorm, fidgeting his fingers against his leg three taps at a time as he tended to do.
