Having wanted to see the supposed memorial to deceased professors in the north tower, Erik finally ventured there one day. He had been doing a lot of walking around the castle but had forgotten that he was wearing a certain carolina blue silk tie on this day, and this venture...

Oh well, he wasn't too concerned. The Astronomy professor didn't look like the brightest star in the Big Dipper and Erik merely wanted to stroll around the tower patch. So that is precisely what he did, hands tucked into his pockets, blue eyes on the unkempt hedges. Hmm hm had they really relied on the house elves that much here? Fascinating.
