Sorry for taking so long, but I'm in a stable enough position to start writing again but expect chapters to take longer. They should hopefully be higher quality though:)

As Noswyl was still building his workshop, Gregory wakes up and within a moment he realizes Noswyl is gone. (Gregory also does a sweep of his surroundings with his eye whenever he wakes up) "Well… that's weird but I doubt the kid ran off." Gregory gets out of bed and walks over to the bed Noswyl used to look at it more closely. "Based on the concentration of the magical residue the kid left a couple hours ago. Hmm there isn't a sign of struggle so he wasn't taken, nor is there any spell residue here either…"

Gregory sighs and goes over to Bartholmew and kicks the bed he's sleeping on, knowing he's a deep sleeper. Bartholomew wakes up and looks around "What, did something happen?!" He asks in a mild panic. Gregory shakes his head "Not really but Noswyl isn't here, seems he left of his own volition." Bartholomew looks at Gregory in annoyance "Then why did you wake me up?"

"Because I am not sure why he left, I'm not good with people stuff and you know him better." Gregory says awkwardly, as Bartholomew deadpans at him "Why are you worried? It's not like he'd abandon us this early, if he was going to abandon us then he would do so once we get to magical society… probably" Gregory snorts "Yeah you are probably right, anyway what do you think we should do? We can't leave until he gets back."

About thirty minutes later…

Bartholomew is looking at the coffee machine curiously, "Muggles have such weird stuff." Gregory looks over to Bartholomew having been reading the room service manual "Well they don't have magic so they have to compensate somehow. Besides that I've been reading this pamphlet and it looks we can order things to our room, It's like house elfs I suppose…" he says thoughtfully

Bartholomew walks over to Gregory "What kind of things?" Gregory hands him the pamphlet "Food mostly, anything stick out to you?" Bartholomew quickly reads it, pausing on coffee "This 'coffee' stuff I remember one of the muggle born juniors drinking, I think we should try it."

Gregory looks at the menu as well "I've heard of it before, I remember one of my co-workers drinking some while we were undercover."

Five minutes later…

Bartholomew answers the door and takes the coffee, while Gregory stays out of sight to not alarm the muggle. Bartholomew walks back over and hands Gregory a cup "You think it'll be any good?" Gregory snorts "It has to be otherwise no one would drink it." Bartholomew nods, takes a sips immediately burning his tongue "Ha-hoo, that's hotter than I thought it would be!" Gregory looks at him with an amused smirk "Heh figures you would do something like that." He says blowing on his drink to cool it down before taking a sip "Hmm, didn't expect it to be bitter. I like it"

They both finish their coffee and sit down to chat with each other, a couple hours later…

Gregory looks out the window "it's past midday, what is the kid doing?" Bartholomew sits up having been lounging on the bed "I don't know, probably exploring, but I don't think we should be worried yet" At that moment Gregory spots Noswyl running towards the hotel with his eye "Well we can just ask him, he'll be here soon."

Noswyl pants heavily as he finally sees the hotel. I didn't think I would get that lost, I just hope that they aren't too pissed. Noswyl finally reaches the hotel lobby and makes his way up to his room, he enters the room nervously. Gregory's eye immediately swivels to him "Welcome back, where were you?" Uhh am I missing something? He is surprisingly calm. "I was just out exploring the city and lost track of time, I also got lost on the way back." Gregory nods, and Bartholomew speaks up "So what's the plan? Are we staying here or what?"

Noswyl goes over and sits on the armchair in the corner. "Well I was thinking we should stay here for now, but we should probably check out the magical society here today." Gregory nods "Alright did you find anything while you were out?" Noswyl nods "Yeah there is a pub with anti-muggle wards on it called the leaky cauldron" Bartholomew stands up and stretches a bit "Seems like a good place to start then, let's get going before it gets to late."

The group arrives at the leaky cauldron…

Bartholomew looks at the building "It looks decrepit." Gregory and Noswyl shrug in unison, before walking up to the entrance with Bartholomew bringing up the rear.

Ok, a bit of a chill chapter to get back into the swing of things. Sorry again for the wait, I hope you enjoyed it.

In other news I am thinking of writing a Naruto fanfic whenever I have writer's block so I don't get rusty. What are your guys' opinions?

In other other news, I am going to make a p@treon. It won't have in advance chapters or anything and any content that I do post there will be public for free. It'll mostly be for polls for feedback and other miscellaneous things:)

I made it :)
