#13 Another day another key

Even as a second year, Toby was forever amazed at how much of Hogwarts remained to be discovered. Every day he seemed to come across something else that he'd been unaware of and it excited him to think of the possibilities - what was out there? Just waiting to be discovered.

Sometimes it was fun to imagine that he was an adventurer, tasked with discovering the castles hidden secrets and conquering the villain... Of which was yet to be named (or thought of). It would be much more fun with his friends in tow, but Joe and Ryan both had their own stuff to keep them busy.

Exam preparation no doubt, ugh.

He'd study tonight. Right now was the time for exploration.

Climbing the stairs of the spiral tower, his sleepiness from that morning well and truly forgotten, Toby passed by many doors and waited... What was he looking for? He didn't know, he just didn't think any of those doors felt right.

As he passed by another inconspicuous door (they all looked the same!), the boy paused and stroked an invisible goatee in a moment of rarity (Tobias Twiggs was actually thinking!)

"This one" he muttered, pulling out a bronze keep and pushing it into the lock. If the key worked, he was sure there would be something exciting within.
