Whatever.
What he had in front of him was a dark entry that strongly reeked of rotten wood and mildew. Slowly, he pulled out his wand. Lumos! Suddenly, the interior lit up and he walked down what was a short corridor to a private bedchamber that was still untouched by teenage hands.
Another light suddenly joined his, and Vindictus turned around. "Be careful! There are OLD things. FRAGILE OLD THINGS. THINGS THAT BELONG IN MUSEUMS!" He narrowed his blue eyes on the two. "And how do you two first years even know the light spell considering it hasn't been taught yet?"
Picking his way around the debris, Salander neared the Deputy Headmaster when he felt a bump on his side by two really
really eager younguns as they went past him-- one of which he remembered just landed on his face after slipping on a canonball.
He looked to Vindictus and nodded his head silently-- right, really, really old stuff, could disintegrate at the slightest touch. Got it. He then took his wand from his pocket and uttered
Lumos as well, moving his arm slowly as his sight adjusted to the dimness of the interior chamber.
As he stepped around slowly he could hear the young Slytherin girl speaking to someone he could only guess was Vindictus. But something else has gotten this Slytherin lad's attention. An ancient looking journal lay quietly on a seat and squinted his eyes as he tried to read its scribbled front
"Captain's Log... " he glanced up at Vindictus, wodnering if the Deputy Headmaster may want to take a look at this. Salander glanced back down and tried to read the rest of the scribbles
"Captain's Log.... Dead Wizard's Trove." He glanced up puzzled.
"Dead Wizard's Trove? What is that... some kind of mission the crew had? Or is it the name of a ship?" Perhaps
this ship?
