I was listening to the radio, most definitely not procrastinating, and Shenandoah's Ghost in This House came on. Lo and behold, the plot bunnies attacked. I hope you enjoy!
As usual, many thanks to my partner-in-crime Cawel for betaing this for me.
Please review! Virtual neckerchiefs to all!

Merlin glided through the halls, his footsteps as silent as ever. He had remained in the castle since Arthur died at Camlann. About a hundred years after Arthur died, four magic users had unknowingly discovered the crumbling remains of Camelot. They had rebuilt it and turned it into a school for magic. Merlin smiled sadly, Uther would be rolling over in his grave to know that his castle which had persecuted magic users was now a safe-hold. Nobody knew of the castle's history though, that had been lost to time.
Merlin watched the students bustling to and fro, running from class to class. His mind drifted back to a different time, where servants hurried back and forth rather than students. One day that time would come again, one day his king would return.
