A thoroughly lost Professor Bontecou finally found the room he was looking for. "What are you all sitting around in the dark for?" he asked the room dotted with the occasion lit wand tip. He laughed and flicked his own wand, lighting the lamps and a fire in the grate. "There, now that it's much more cheerful in here and we can see past our noses, I want to apologize for my tardiness. it's a good thing you didn't abide by the ten minute rule," he added with a wink.

"Now, did anyone start class without me? Want to catch me up?" he chuckled again, good naturedly.
