Edwin knew that look too well by now. While they may have hidden a few things from each other over the past thirty years this was one thing Edwin knew. Charles had a death grip on his hand and truly, it made Edwin want to run for the exit and drag Charles with him. Just like that first time from the attic.
He did feel nervous when the backpack had to stay, however, but he understood the idea of it.
"It shall be alright, Charles," Edwin whispered, hoping that his words would bring good luck at least. As they followed Lady Goode, Edwin somehow felt more eyes on them despite having seen nobody on their way.
The old witch led them to the lower, underground level of the house. It looked there were multiple rooms there too. The Lady led them to the one with an iron door... Entering it, Edwin almost huffed out loud. It looked like an old-timey dungeon, straight out of those movies Charles loved to watch. With a few bookcases around, iron chains lying in the corners, with dark, stone floors and walls. It was buzzing with magic, however.
"Oldest room in the house, perfect for strong spells like the one we are about to perform," Lady Goode smiled, almost proudly as Daphne closed the door. "Tell your Hound to get in the middle of that circle," she told Edwin.
Edwin frowned, looking around.
"What circle-" But as Edwin asked it, the circle in question started glowing in the middle of the room.
