"Leif? What are you doing here?"
It was already 10 pm on Friday and I was already in bed, reading when Sebastian's owl landed by the dormitory's window.
Remember the swimsuit I told you to pack?
Tomorrow is the day.
Meet me at the Clagmar Castle Floo Station tomorrow, 7:30 am sharp.

7:30 am?? Bloody hell. It better be worth it.

It was still dark when I arrived at the location by the ruins overlooking the sea. The air was chiller than expected at that hour, because of the sea breeze.
I remember this place, I thought to myself. Down there by the shore is where I captured the Graphorn for the last trial of the Keepers.
"Up here!" I heard him in the distance. Sebastian had already arrived, and was uphill by the ledge of the cliffs.
"If I wasn't acquainted with your owl, I wouldn't have dared to come here at this hour, Sebastian," I spoke first as I met him up the hillside. "Luckily I had some time to quickly stop by the Great Hall for some breakfast... Mind explaining why we couldn't have met here on a lovely afternoon instead??"
"Good morning to you as well, Carolyn," He smirked and crossed his arms in front of his body. "There is a reason for such an early encounter, I promise."
He took a seat on the grass, leaning his back on a large rock. He then patted the ground for me to sit next to him.
The cold ground and the sea breeze made me shiver a little.
"Are you cold?" He asked with concern, motioning to remove his cloak. "Please, let me-"
"No, don't worry Sebastian, it is okay, I promise." I cast an appearance spell to change my velvet cloak into a wool robe, then used it as a blanket to cover myself.
"Impressive," He commented. "I always forget how you master those advanced charms."
Sebastian started explaining. "As you probably already know, the sun sets west, which is up north of Hogwarts. So it would be useless to come here in the afternoon. We are here for the sunrise."
