Professor Kazimeriz entered his office, leading the way for his first visitors. The fireplace was already lit and casting a warm glow in the room. He tapped the teapot with his wand to bring it into service, and it set about preparing tea for Kazimeriz and his visitors.

Kazimeriz shuffled to his leather chair behind his desk, glancing through some papers and notes for a moment before addressing the students. "Please be seated. Sunrider, I know why you are here, and we will speak privately in a moment. Miss Wright, Mr. Upstead- what brings you to my office today?" Despite the long walk into the damp dungeon, he was still in a surprisingly chipper mood thanks to his altercation with the school nurse.

For the moment, anyway.
