The weather was magnificent, but he was forced to wait here, in the shadow of the dining hall of Mimosa Boarding School.It was a peaceful place. From time to time a gust of wind would move the main door with a muffled creak. A young school monitor was also waiting a little further off. Apart from the two of them, the grounds were empty.
