	Karen climbed off the boat, her excitement matching, even surpassing the kids around her. For the others, this was the start of days of adventure, for Karen, this was the true beginning of her vow. Here, she would learn what she needed to continue her parents work, and carve out a legacy worthy of the gift they left behind. Two lifetimes of research had yielded an incredible treasure with no likeness or comparison.

	She walked with the others to the castle, her mind so filled with thoughts of her future that only later did she realize that she had been separated from Bishop. Once inside the castle where the others were waiting to be sorted, an agitated Karen looked around for her companion. As her first friend, she felt a kind of attachment to him and was not keen on losing sight of him so early on.

	After a minute of looking over several other students, she finally caught sight of him, in the company of other kids who where discussing Hogwarts and its many fascinations. Bishop was behind them, and Karen was unable to approach him without interrupting the others so she waved at him, hoping she'd get his attention.
