Secret passages, short cuts, back entrances to classrooms and professor quarters, you name it." He paused for a short second looking squarely at the arrogant young man, smile still in place before his eyes light up in excitement once more. "Now it's time for my new robe fitting. Don't be so serious all the time pumpkin bread, you'll get wrinkles." He scooped the rats up off the floor and strolled jauntily to the door.
