By the time Vickers made it out of the Castle the sun has risen above the trees of the Forbidden Forest. He found a nice mound on the ground a good distance from the Whomping Willow-- which creaked and swayed as if bidding him good morning. Or don’t go near. Well heck it could be saying I-want-to-smash-your-toy and Vickers really wouldn’t be able to tell.

He could still see the North star just about to fade away in the stronger rays of the sun. He pointed the sundial’s gnomon towards it to orient the sundial properly, then peered over the device, trying to figure out what time it was reflecting…

He could see the shadow fall at the marker that says VI. So its 6 o’clock in the morning? It sure feels like it. He noted it down on his parchment, then tucked the sundial back into his bag. He will check with the clocks in the castle if he read the right thing.
