Abraham was wandering the halls, taking in the familiar sights of the building. How happy he was to be back here. Though, he did miss home. Specifically his best friend, Marley, who was at home. He sighed, reaching for the key, attached to his neck by a chain. He would see her again, during Christmas break. She had to focus on her studies, just as he did.
'Perhaps I'll write her a letter, letting her know I've arrived safely. I assume Todd's been safely put up in the owlery, if I hurry now, I can slip away without anyone knowing.'
Without another thought, Abraham spun around, away from the Great Hall, and headed in the opposite direction, towards the stairs leading to the owlery. As he spun a corner, he spotted two people standing there. Taken aback, he almost fell over in surprise. He managed to keep his balance and slip away the other way, heading up the enchanted staircases.
