Charlie has been walking for quite some time when she came across what was apparently a statue muttering in a strange language.

Huh? She furrowed her brow and walked towards it to get a better look (or listen) but did not here another peep; however, it did sit by a room which, when looking from a distance at the different board games and whatnot in it, matched the description of the antechamber. With a triumphant smirk, Charlie stride into the room, itching to buy some property and pass go a number of times.

Imagine her disappointment when she saw that all of the games were wizard games. Her smirk turned into a frown as she came to the realization that this room was of No Use To Her, seeing as she had no idea how to play any of them.

Maybe the boy sitting in one of the chairs and reading a book could help her out — he looked wizardly.

Plopping down into the chair next to his, she waited until he appeared to reach a stopping point and asked, “Do you know how to play any of these games? Cos I have no idea.”

Or maybe she could read a book, too....

Maxie was much more into this book than he'd expected to be. There was something very... satisfying about solving these puzzles, and even just going over the ones he couldn't make a lick of sense out of was fun. Cuddled up like a cat, Maxie didn't even feel the smile that had worked it's way across his face let alone the presence of another human-being.

If he had noticed he would have sat up straighter- or even dumped the book - or even just tried to vanish into the air. Actually, probably, definitely the last one. He licked his thumb and flicked to the next page, his grey eyes peering through the runic letters with hungry interest. Maybe he'd ask that guy, the Head-Puff-Guy about Runes later.

Uhm. Wait. Hold Up, rewind. Uhm.

That was a person, right? Maxie's eyes flickered up quick to meet the face belonging to the voice. He didn't say a word. He was doing that thing. The-trying-to-vanish-thing.
Was it working? Maxie still felt resolutely solid. "Uhm." He began. "I, uh... " These games? He knew them very well, unfortunately. The hufflepuff nodded, still curled up and showing no signs of life other than his large blinking eyes and the steady rise and fall of his chest.
