This is the second time this week that his coffee has disappeared.

Professor Elm sighed and rubbed his eyes, trying to remember where he put the new ceramic mug down. He knew it was cooling by his elbow earlier, while he was on the Internet, reading a new scientific paper about evolution. He had already broken his favorite red mug with the Cyndaquil on it yesterday. He had jumped up, hearing his doorbell ring, and his lab coat had somehow caught the cup and dashed it onto the floor. Fortunately, it was mostly empty.

And, instead of the package from Silph with the Potions he had ordered, there had been a persistent door-to-door salesman who had tried to convince him he needed new window blinds.

He cannot get used to not having coffee. Perhaps he is addicted, but caffeine is a legal drug and it does help him concentrate on his studies.

He sighed, and headed to the kitchen to find another cup, pouring a fresh cup of brew. By the end of the week, every room in his house had one beverage container in it or another. While they were not the cleanest of utensils, he at least had solved the problem.
