Huh. So apparently the Tapestry was bad? At first she figured she had missed out on the story because it was in Hogwarts, a History - a book that she hadn't opened once in her time at the school - but apparently it actually lay in newspapers. "I wonder who put them in there," she mused as she looked among some benches and didn't see anything that looked like a clue.

"Maybe there is a way to get past the barrier..." What it could be besides a nice explosion was lost on Esme. The thought of damaging a part of Hogwarts wasn't one that she wanted to dwell on; detention was bad enough but this would also earn her a Howler from home. She frowned at the thought before glancing at Kitty. "This is a great guess but I don't see anything. Maybe we should try the seventh floor."

It was only down from here after all.

She followed Esme back down into the towers and out of the patch, glad to be out of the freezing cold. While walking she continued to talk about the Tapestry. "I was wondering the exact same thing! Whoever put those papers there might know the whole story behind the Tapestry. I mean, unless they were just using them as bookmarks - but that would be so lame. Mase and I are planning to sneak into the Forbidden Section of the library to find clues."

Kitty froze and paled as she realized what she had just done. It had been so exciting talking about the Tapestry that she hadn't stopped to consider that Esme might tattle on them. "But you won't tell anyone, will you? We aren't going to damage anything, we're just curious. Please don't tell anyone." If she wasn't curious then she wouldn't have been placed in Ravenclaw. Kitty looked at Esme pleadingly, begging her to understand.
