Wait a minute, that wasn't the edge... it looked more like a hinge. This girl was smart, she had to be if she noticed that as fast as Alice. But maybe she was mental and just liked poking things.
Ooh, lookit. A person. Gaby turned and gave her a bright smile, watching the other girl survey the hinge on the mirror.
'There's a passageway beind, but it's closed in,' she informed her in her Southern drawl.
'I read about it in Hogwarts; A History,' she added, and then cocked her head to the side. She hadn't thought that anyone else would be out this late.
'Say, why are you out so late?' Gaby asked her curiously.
'I honestly thought every other sensible person would have gone to bed by now... although, maybe you just... ain't sensible,' she joked, grinning again.
