A Reluctant Sorceress

The next day just before lunchtime, Timothy met Sam outside the entrance to the Kennicot common room.

Sam had her lunch in hand and she was getting ready to enter the Kennicot common room to spend some time with some of her house mates.

"Hey, Sam," Timothy said. "Amy needs us at her apartment for protector business."

"I can't today, Timothy," Sam said. "I need to talk with Aileen, Valentina, Lisa, and Lily in the Kennicot common room so that we may plan a welcome celebration for the new girl that will be coming to Hexley Hall in September."

"Aww, Sam," Timothy advised. "it's still May, don't rush things! You have plenty of time! And besides, what if the new girl doesn't get sorted into Kennicot?"

"Better Kennicot than Stryker." Sam said to Timothy.

"Right," Timothy agreed. "She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was sorted into Stryker House let's not forget."

"Yes, and her first ever murder was that of Hexley Hall Waldgrave student," Sam said to Timothy. "Hideaki Reed... just before his sixteenth birthday."

"How do you know that?" Timothy asked Sam.

"I have been reading his diary," Sam answered Timothy. "remember?"

"That's right," Timothy recalled. "I forgot."

"Anyway, I have to meet my Kennicot sisters," Sam said to Timothy. "I'll see you and Professor O'Toole later."

"See you later then, Sam." Timothy sighed.

Timothy went to Amy's apartment while Sam took her lunch into the Kennicot common room.
