Of course, it had been there long before even he was a student here and working on the first floor he felt he got somewhat used to its appearance. And its smell. Sensory deprivation, he supposed. He just hoped the aroma hadn't wafted down to his classroom and he just didn't notice because of that.

He caught a movement out of the corner of his eye as he walked past and he stopped to turn that way. That wasn't a student crawling back in there, was it? Some of these kids, he wouldn't be surprised really, but as he peered closer he could see that it was a large cat exploring through the marshy plant life. Okay then.

He'd have let the cat be a curious thing and be on his way if it weren't for the plaintive mewing that followed. Was the poor kitty stuck? That'd be his luck. "Come on, kitty," he called. "That's no place for you to be.." And when the coaxing only increased the pathetic sounding cries for help, he decided against his best interest to wade into the swamp after it. Once he cast impervious to his shoes and clothing of course.

Torrance had not been this way too often, considering it was always mostly out of his way unless he was headed to class on this floor. None-The-Less the young lion was down here. For reasons unknown to even him at the moment too. Perhaps he just felt the need to explore the Castle. Maybe today he felt like Bugging his cousin Benton if he found him in the Kitchen.

Of course this was on put on Halt when he came across the Weasley's Swamp. He stood and peered out at the swamp always at awe from it. That's when he heard a Cat, and then a man....wait was that Mister Professor History of Magic Guy?

Torrance edged closer to the swamp and stopped just short of the beginning of it. He wanted to see if the Man was gone to go find the source of the Cat's Meow.

Not wanting to distract him, the Charms Professor's nephew took off his school robe, shoes, and socks. Rolled up his pant legs, then removed his tie. Tossing them all to the side and away the bog. He readied himself to jump. Not to far from the start was a log. If he could make that in a leap he wouldn't get too messy...yet.

He took a few steps back then ran. Making a running jump for the log and missed it, actually leaping over the log and making a loud SPLASH into the Swampy Waters.
