Cleaning at the orphanage was quick; the children tidied up every morning, and the corners were always spotless. After finishing her share of the chores, Quinlan stayed in the headmistress's office to organize the archives from previous years. When she still lived at the orphanage, she had always handled this during winter and summer breaks, but she hadn’t had the chance since moving out.
Quinlan sat at the mahogany desk, where a dozen sheets of paper, yellowed with age, lay spread out. The first name on every single sheet was the same: White Daffodil. He was the person she had met at the first Hogwarts Culinary Competition. He did not look particularly old; surely, he couldn't have been sending money here since he was eleven or twelve. The year the donations to Wool's Orphanage had first begun happened to be Aisha’s first year as headmistress.
"Mr. White, right this way... I never expected you to be so young," Headmistress Aisha’s voice drifted in from the hallway. "This is your first time visiting our orphanage. Thank you so much for all the help you’ve given the children over the years."
