I was still seething at the injustice of it all when I arrived once again at the door of the wine cellar. The two janitors, a white-haired man, Mr. Harrow, and his son, were delighted to have a couple of students to boss around for a change it seemed.

We walked in. The cellar looked even worse than I remembered. This would take hours. My eyes immediately flickered to the door to the adjacent room, the room in which I had hidden the key. It was closed again.

“And make sure you two clean up everything. Don’ want any of the teachers cutting themselves on shards o’ glass now, do we?” the elderly janitor said, his son sniggering in the background.

“This door’s locked,” I said, trying it.

“Tha’ one’s always locked. Nobody uses that room no more, not in years,” Mr. Harrow said.

“Why not?” I asked.

“Oh, that’s the old Alchemy storage room. This room ‘ere used to be the Alchemy classroom, as a matter o’ fact. But when they moved the department over to the East Tower, they changed this here place into a Wine Cellar.”

“So what’s all the stuff in there, then?”

“Oh, jus’ worthless leftovers, old equipment an’ the like,” he said.

“I think some wine got through the cracks at the bottom,” I said. “Could you open this door for us?”

“You do want to do a thorough job, don’ ya? No ‘arm I suppose,” he said, surprised at the enthusiasm. He produced a large bundle of keys from his pocket.

Lynn was looking at me quizzically, but I just gave her the faintest of winks.

Mr. Harrow finally found the key and opened the door.

“Jus’ make sure you leave everything as it is,” he said. “I’ll be ‘round in a couple ‘o hours to see how you’re doin’.”
