Default Portraits


The walls in the first-floor corridor are covered in tapestries and, hung over them, are portraits of numerous wizards and wizards. Whether you are trying to get to class or are just browsing around, the portraits here will try to start up a conversation with you. If you manage to get on their good side, they'll be willing to reveal secret passageways, share the latest school gossip, and more.

If you have time to spare, definitely go on a brief tangent from whatever it is you are doing. Google Stump is your man to go to if you're looking for answers about the mysteries of the castle; Beaumont Marjoribanks can tell you everything there is to know about gillyweed; and Elizabeth Burke ... well, it would be best to just avoid her for reasons that will be obvious should you strike up a discussion with her about magical blood status. There are other portraits here as well, each with their own unique personalities, and figures from other portraits happen to invade their frames from time to time.

OOC: Please do not role-play for the Portraits.

Slate wandered the castle with his hands in his pockets. He had a few hours to burn before dinner and a nice stroll around the castle seemed like a good idea. Despite the castle being older than time itself, there usually were changes from year to year.

The portrait gallery was not new. But perhaps there was a new portrait hanging up.

He stopped in the middle of the hall and looked around.

Sylvie was bored. Tayo was doing Quidditch things, Zoryn was doing Quidditch things, she couldn't even find Faith so she was probably doing something as well, and all Sylvie had to do was homework.

She was obviously not going to do homework.

Taking the scenic route to the kitchens where she could annoy the elves into giving her cake, the fourth year walked down the first floor corridor and spotted someone from her class just standing there. Blinking, Sylvie joined him and look where he was looking, but couldn't find anything interesting in the area. It's just the portraits.

"What are you looking at?" Sylvie asked, turning to him with an eager grin.

Slate glanced over when a girl addressed him. He'd seen her around, of course. They even had a few overlapping friends. (Friends? Was that presumptuous?)

"Trying to figure out if any are new." he said before surveying the wall again. "I don't think I ever bothered checking if any of these are changed out every year." He paused for a moment. "Think there's a rotation system? Like you're only allowed out in the castle every decade if you're not an important painting?"

He looked around again. Was there a painting class system? He knew that, for instance, there were some in permanent places of honor, like that weird one of the Lady on the top floor. But what about the others? There were thousands and thousands of years of magical history. Not every painting could be displayed all the time. That wasn't possible. Not even in a castle like Hogwarts.

...
...
...

He probably also shouldn't be saying things that might be considered offensive to the portraits while he was standing there... there right in front of the portraits.

Sylvie blinked at him, then at the portraits, and then back at him. "I.. I guess I never really thought about it?" she said as she looked at the portraits with slightly wider eyes. What did it even feel like to be a portrait? What if you weren't entertaining enough and Hogwarts kicked you out?! And... and what do they do to portraits who are kicked out? O.O If portraits aren't hanging on walls and doing things... then...?

Does Hogwarts murder portraits???

"I don't think Hogwarts throws out paintings," Sylvie said firmly, turning to, uh, him, whatever his name was. It then occurred to her that perhaps he meant in storage. Which was still sort of terrible in Sylvie's book but definitely better than being destroyed. "We could ask them," she added with a scratch of her head, nodding towards the one next to the Elizabeth Burke painting who she fought with when she was a second year and never wants to speak to again. She'll ask any other portrait but her.
Stupid old witch.

Stupid old witch.
Slate was glad he wasn't the only one who hadn't really thought about this. But it also made him feel more guilty. What a sad existence for those poor portraits.

He blinked several times. He hadn't even considered things being thrown out. He just meant storage.

He looked around and nodded after a minute.

"You don't think we'd offend anyone by asking, do you?" Could portraits even do anything if they were?

Sylvie pulled at her tie and shrugged. "I don't think so? At least we'd be talking to them you know?" she said, and looked at said portraits. "They probably wait for students to talk to them, because they've been here for forever and probably totally sick of each other."

Sylvie couldn't imagine spending years in the same place with the same people. It seemed terribly boring and she wondered if perhaps being thrown out is better. At least they could see the snow! Or something.

... Yeah no perhaps not, perhaps it's better to be stuck at Hogwarts avoiding poltergeists and making fun of the Fat Lady's terrible singing voice. Mmhm.

"If that was the case, you'd think they'd be continually shouting at us to stop for a chat." Slate said looking around. They didn't seem particularly chatty. He glanced at her before looking at the paintings again.

"It would suck to be in the same place all the time though."

One thing Théodore liked to do when he was free from working out or practicing or general anything school related was come down to the portraits and talk with them or just argue with them. Like what was the best pizza topping which truth be told was a hotly debated topic in general.

It did get boring after a while

But hey most of the time these portraits had fun things to say or if not he could always make it outside and find something else to do.

Like ok maybe that was a bad example. He would go back to the dorm and lie on his bed and stare at the ceiling until some idea hit him. Like maybe finally making a beach ball.

That would be awesome sauce.
