The Baron crossed his arms over his bloody chest as he gave Nicholas looks as the ghost floated even closer to the love of his life. 'Keep it up Nicholas and you and I will be having words later.' That's what he would have said if the ghost hadn't started blathering on about the Spirit Room and his blasted Deathday celebration.

"No one cares about your deathday and how dead you are you almost headless fool." Yes, he was a fool for thinking he could steal the beautiful Helena away from the Baron. "What is important here is those blasted talking portraits all over the school. In particular that loud mouth Elizabeth Burke in the dungeon corridor." Who was the fool to put that hideous looking thing back up in HIS corridor? "Do you know what that woman has been doing?" No? "She has been HARASSING everyone that walks past her DEMANDING they give her a password to be in the dungeons!" He floated so he was right in front of the headmistress now. "What are YOU going to do about this?" He wanted answers and he wanted them NOW!
