CHAPTER FORTY-ONE

Front Step, Glenbogle Manor, Scottish Highlands, Scotland

Ahead of Paris a few yards away, a portal opened, shimmering bright blue. Paris squinted from the light but saw the expert potions maker step through from Roya Lane to the highlands of Scotland.

Bep, the owner of the Rose Apothecary potions shop in London, wore a long black traveling cloak and a disappointed expression as she took in the large manor. “I heard that I won an all-inclusive trip to Disney World. Is that Epcot Center?”

Paris glanced at the huge mansion and shook her head. “No, that’s round, and this is a house in Scotland. You did portal here, remember?”

Bep waved her off, closing the portal. “How can I? That was so long ago.”

“Riiiiiight. Well, thanks for joining us. We thought it would be nice to have your company during the weekend.” Also, Paris knew that Bep despised Ramy, so she was a natural choice.

“I don’t want anyone to talk to me,” Bep said at once. “I’ll be reading my books, enjoying peace and quiet, and expecting all my meals delivered to my room.”

“We have dinner in the formal dining room,” Paris corrected. This would only work if she forced people to spend time together and therefore get on each other’s nerves and kill Ramy.

“Fine, I’ll have dinner with the others, but that’s it.”

“Also, we have a few activities planned for the weekend, and all supervised by experts. I think you’ll enjoy them…”

Bep narrowed her eyes at Paris, pulling down the hood of her cloak and fluffing her short curls. “I don’t enjoy things. I tolerate them. I allow you all to interact with me. But I never have and will never be the one having a jolly time during a weekend at the Magic Castle.” She pointed at Glenbogle at Paris’ back.

“That’s a house, and again, this isn’t Disney World.”

“Fine, you settled for Disneyland.” Bep sighed. “I’ll put it in my Yelp review.”

“I don’t have a Yelp…I’m not running a business.” Paris glanced around. “Do you have any bags?”

“No, I planned for you to provide all my clothes and toiletries this weekend.”

“Too bad I didn’t plan for that. I’m sure we can round up some wellies and other things for your journey through the moor.”

“I expect so.” Bep picked up the hem of her cloak and marched up the stairs into the manor.

Paris sighed, turning her attention to welcome the next guest. To her shock, he was already standing squarely in front of her, although a head or two below her gaze.
