| | Talking to the Portraits
The first floor is full of portraits who would gladly lend an ear if you wish to tell of your woe. Most would be even more glad to talk your ear off about themselves... ooc: We do not have anyone to RP the portraits at this time so, feel free to make some up. |

Bodicea walked slowly down the hall, marveling at all the detail. She had heard Beauxbatons was fancier, but she liked Hogwarts all the same. Noticing the portraits on the walls, she smiled at them, and watched the ones she passed look at her out of the corners of their eyes, pretending they were normal pictures.
Suddenly she spoke in rapid Gaelic, watching some of their eyes widen. She laughed, and did it again. It was a relatively harmless sentence, along the lines of: "I can see you all watching me, all of you living paintings!" but it startled them nonetheless.
Some of them began to murmur, wondering if she was insulting them, and she cheerily told them she was not--but in Gaelic of course. They all gasped and stared. Then she smiled, winked, waved, told them good bye in perfectly unaccented English, and skipped off down the hall again. Sometimes she was a little rude like that--leaving them wondering--but not always. She would see them again, and tell them what she was saying....just not yet.

Adam was walking around the leveled floor-also the 1st floor, near the portraits."OI...May you do me a favor dear?" Adam looked around, expecting to find a weak old lady, with wispy wiry hair. "Up here, darling... Adam looked up. "I didn't know portraits could talk, yes?" "Can you find me my precious cat, Prince...He seems to have gotten himself lost in his girlfriends Portrait and can't find his way back..." Even the Portriats animals were in relationships, this school was crazy about that.
"I guess, any clue where it is?"
"Why won't you check the lion portrait right behind you, sweetheart."

"Why won't you check the lion portrait right behind you, sweetheart." Edmond had taken some time off his homework to walk around the castle. It was so big and yet, he's had no chance to explore it. As he walked with his hands in his trouser pockets he heard some voices. It was Adam...talking to a portrait. "Hey, Adam." Ed greeted as he approached the young guy.

"Hey Ed.."Adam said, slapping his hand as a way of greeting him..."Hey, by any chance -have you seen a cat hanging around a Lion's Portrait , this young lady
" Thank you for that dear."The lady interjected
"Seems to have lost her cat Prince...Mind helping me out with it..?"Adam asked. He thought Ed would have good eyes, he seemed good at finding hidden things.

"Sure," Edmond agreed to help Adam and the portrait lady find the cat, Prince. Edmond slightly frowned in concentration and looked around, where was that cat? It was around a Lion's portrait...hmm. He turned around and saw a...ooh a Lion's portrait. "Could he be in there," Ed pointed at the portrait with the lion, "the one with the lion." it would be easier if he knew how the cat looked.

"Excuse me, do you happen to have a cat in your portrait?"Adam asked a worker in raggid brown clothes, he was shoveling dirt. "A cat, with the nametag of Prince, on it?"the man asked them
"Yes. That's the one- nice job Ed- can you tell the cat to go back to his Owner?"
" Cat's fast asleep...Good luck..."
"Ed, got any ideas on how to wake up a cat without being able to physically carry it?"

"Ed, got any ideas on how to wake up a cat without being able to physically carry it?" Ed was glad that it was the right cat. Now, waking it up and getting it to it's owner without carrying it. Hmm, tricky. "Well, cats are scared of dogs right? What if we made barking sounds so it'll wake up and go to it's owner." he knew that was a silly idea, but that's all he had.

OOC:JUst pretend we found a dog portrait...Adam wants to use Ed's idea

OOC: okay

OOC: okay "Surely , it looks like a scary dog..."Adam took in a deep breath and roared all his air out from his stomach- he literally sounded like a Lion screaming...The dog got up and looked confused...
The cat in the other portrait, woke up right away, it's ears angled, trying to locate where the sound had come from. Already the Shiba Inu was scampering off to it's portrait on the left- the cat, ran for it..."Ed scream, so that the cat still thinks it's in danger..."Adam said running , following the chase.

It all happened so fast, Adam roared, the dog got up, the cat started running and so did Adam. Edmond followed suit and did as he was told. "Okay." he wasn't sure of to exactly do but Ed roared loud hoping that would do the trick. His throat ached a little, but it had been fun.

"Nice...It's almost there..Come on Prince- run for your life."Adam egged it on. The cat was one portrait away when the dog gave up chasing it, the dog did seem old in age. "we've hit a road bump...You stay here and make sure if the dog and cat get up, take it to the portrait..."Adam dashed up 7 stair flights, manuvered around them, up to his dormitory and yanked out some cat nip...Ran back down, breathing hard...He gace it to Ed. "Walk to the Portrait while shaking it, the cat will follow you, and it's not as hurtful to your throat.."Adam was giving Ed the chance to do the work, becaause he knew Adam had to be nice to Ed...He hadn't shown him much respect lately.

Edmond sighed when the dog seemed to slow down. That was just great, but soo Adam came up with another idea and apparently dashed to his dorm. When he came back Ed guessed it was the cat nip he had been talking about. Ed took the cat nip and stared at it curiously. Hopefully it'll work. He shook the bag, just like Adam had said to do and walked towards the portrait of the lady. Luckily the cat followed until it was back to it's rightfull owner. "Finally." Ed said breathing a sigh of relief. "Good idea, the cat nip." he complimented.

"That was fun, like a little adventure and mystery." Thank you very much dears. I will ask for your help whenever I need it."
"No problem."Adam waved to the old lady.

"No problem."Adam waved to the old lady. Ed wouldn't know about how cats reacted, he's never had a pet before...well except for his owl. Edmond smiled at portrait lady and said, "You're welcome." he liked helping people. "Fun and adventure is what I need." Edmond chuckled. Merlin knew he needed more of that instead of drama.

Figuring that it would be safe enough to not be in some random dark passageway or a room where there were whispers of someone killing her, the Slytherin thought being surrounded by portraits who could easily shout out the presence of another person would be good.
And talkative...they were.
Rolling her eyes at some of them, she was beginning to rethink her theory on this corridor being a good spot. Did they ever shut up?
Leaning against a rather empty part of a wall, surprisingly, the Slytherin tossed the toy in front of her, letting it lay against the floor in a small heap. Meep! Spider, prepare to be conquered! AGAIN! Figuring that it was safe enough at the moment, since there was no one but pesky portraits around, Evelyn raised her wand once more and created a figure eight in the air while saying, "Arania Exumai!"
DESTROOOYYY!!!!
Satisfied as the fluffy monster of death flew back and hit the ball behind it instead of rolling to the side like last time, Evelyn moved forward and set the thing back into place before going back to her original spot. Think her fear of spiders was improving?!
Perhaps.

Perhaps. Destiny didn't think Evelyn was ever going to stop walking. Creeping in the shadows without shoes on was not as fun as she had thought it would be. She was in the dorm and under her own bed! Why didn't she grab her other shoes?
Now she thinks about it. She could have run back to get them, but by the time she did all that, Evelyn would have moved on and Merlin knew where her next destination would be. No, it was fine without shoe. As long as she didn't step on anything.
Peeking around the corner, she had to shush a few of the portraits. Maybe threaten them with a fist..which only made them talk and scoff more. "Will you shut up!? I am on a mission here!" A very important and highly dangerous mission at that. Can't be disturbed.
At least Evelyn shouldn't be that suspicious with her talking now, right? She wasn't the only one speaking this time.
Glaaaaaare.

Glaaaaaare. Leaning back against the wall across from the stuffed…creature… Evelyn raised her wand once more, creating another figure eight, and being a bit more confident in destroying the spider the spell.
Actually it wasn’t really the spell that was the problem, it was the thing she was supposed to be casting the spell on. Perhaps she was becoming a bit more confident…in the toy? Did that even make sense? "Arania Exumai!" she said once more, seeing the light hit the spider and fling it against the wall opposite her.
Smiling, Evelyn danced her way towards the toy monster spider, being in a rather good mood at the moment...except now. What was with all the annoying talking. "Oh shut up will you! All of you!" These portraits! SO ANNOYING! To think they have better things to do like go bother someone ELSE then her. Unless that's the reason they were talking in the first place because no one ever comes down here.
She could just imagine why! Ugh. She was leaving. Someplace quiet. Where no one could disturb her. And she knew the perfect place. Mwaha! Grabbing her stuffed creature spider monster thing, the Slytherin scowled at each and every portrait before making her way back to the ground level.
Pfft. Portraits.

Pfft. Portraits. Oh. No. He. Did. Not. Just. Say. That!
Turning to glaaaare at the portrait that just said those HORRIBLE words, Destiny gave a flick of her wrist and held her wand up towards him. "Take. That. Back! I do NOT look like my Grandmother!" The woman was old and decrepit and really, they had different hair color. It was an insult to be told she looked like her.
Wondering if she could take the portrait off the wall without getting caught, she heard Evelyn tell everyone to shut up and she peeked around the corner. Well, at least she wasn't caught spying..the portraits seemed to do a good job covering up her voice. Gah! Now Evelyn was leaving..again!
Re-holstering her wand, Destiny shot the portrait man a glare and shook her fist at him. He got off easy this time, and next time, she would not be so nice. She really would unhinge him from the wall.
Now..where was Evelyn going?
Tip-toe, tip-toe.
