Gwen allowed him to lead her back to the entrance hall, proud that he remembered the path they had taken to get to the kitchens. At least he now knew the way and she wouldn't have to worry about him wandering around, trying to find the right spot and get lost - forced to walk the endless corridors until something looked familiar. She had done that quite a bit when she had first arrived. (Truth be told, she still got a little turned around at times.) At least he could find the main places he would need for his time here at the castle.
"I believe that I am to go straight down to Ollivander's shop to wait for them there. The others will give them directions to find the place. I am merely there to make certain they all are supervised, as their guardians will have handed them over into our care, and to keep a tally of the purchases so that in the evening, one of the four can go down and settle the accounts." She explained, leading him out the door and into the brilliant sunshine. The birds were singing and there were naught but a few puffy clouds in the sky. There was a slight brisk wind but fortunately, her long sleeves were well insulated for the cold and thus, she didn't regret not going back for her cloak.
That was when she realized that they had been so caught up in his exciting news that she had forgotten everything she was supposed to have brought along to keep track of everything. Sighing, she looked back at the castle over her shoulder, wondering if she could keep track in her head.
No, not a chance. "Forgive me, Merrick but I need to return to the castle for but a moment. I've forgotten the parchment and my wand back in my room. If you'll wait here, it shan't take me long." She said regretfully. If he wasn't with her, she could pick up her skirts and run - which she would need to do if she did not want to be over-late.
