How...disappointing.

Spike had grown over the summer. Lots. He actually looked like he'd caught up with his age at last.

He sighed, and gave the polished metal a pout. No more using this suit of armour for hiding behind. Or in, for that matter. He really did want to try on a Hogwarts suit of armour before he left, and maybe scare some firsties along the way.

Maybe if he breathed in and crouched down a bit it'd work?
Max very, very rarely stopped off on the second floor. He hated Arithmancy and never had a relationship with Tate, so he never had much of a reason to visit this floor. Today, though, he had heard that the seventh year book of memories was in Truebridge's office, and Max hoped she wouldn't mind if he took a peek. It was the beginning of his last term and he needed to make sure he went about it properly. So, of course, he wanted to see if there was any advice from previous students on how to handle one's last term at Hogwarts. And he needed inspiration so he could start thinking about what he would write at the end of the term.

As Max made his way through the halls of the unfamiliar floor, he passed several paintings whose inhabitants got a smile and a nod from the seventh year. He wondered what Ellie was doing right now, and then... he stopped.

Quite a way down the corridor, he saw movement by a suit of armor on the opposite side of the hallway. He couldn't see behind it, but... did the suit ITSELF move? Or was it just be a first year playing around? Hmm. He moved a little closer and... saw someone behind it. If it was a first year preparing to throw dungbombs or something of the sort, Max wasn't going to walk right into that. So, just in case, Max removed a single Bertie Bott's bean from his pocket(don't ask) and threw it at the armor in an attempt to scare the person out of hiding. If there WAS someone with menacing intentions, he was ready to run.
