A shortcut? She raised her eyebrows, intrigued that there was a shortcut around here. The only times that she had been to the dungeons was for Potions classroom and the occasional visit to see some friends but she had never ventured too far. Vi had absolutely no clue where they were going. It was kind of hard to see down here. A little bit too much doom and gloom for her? But the dark aspect of it seemed intrigue the Gryffindor. Adventures to be had especially with a special person like Tenacius. Besides accompanying him gave them a good chunk of time to just talk about things and enjoy each other's company. And there was something on her mind... but she would get to that later as they were trying to find a shortcut.

Vi glanced up at the curly haired Prefect when he pointed to the stairs and then followed his pointing to the staircase. He had known where it was. Wow. What a nifty short cut for sure. But as Ace began walking towards the staircase, Olivia couldn't help but notice something shimmering on the floor ahead of them. It looked like a puddle or something..? "So where does that staircase lea---" she stopped halfway through that statement and grabbed his arm to pull him back before stepping on the slithering shimmering surface. Something was moving but she couldn't tell what it was. Though it didn't seem like it should be there. "Watch out!" Olivia said, hoping that she could stop him; however, she wasn't sure if she could as she didn't have that much upper body strength. "There's something on the ground... Something shimmering or slithering..." What was there?
