Even though Carwyn hadn’t stopped looking around for frames, his eyes had admittedly been mostly on Helga Hufflepuff and her …. rather incessant need to hand out … cupcakes??? How was that even a thing that he had just thought?? Merlin, help him.

One foot had moved in the direction of the ‘woman’ before he heard Ignatius’ voice coming from his side. This time, he didn’t even hide the fact he was watching the Founder. ”No.” He said instantly. ”I don’t.” He paused, eyes flicking towards the Potions Master. ”And I definitely don’t trust her.”

He paused, looking around and doing a quick head count. ”We need to get her away from that door way-” He motioned towards her, Miss Blaze, Miss Renaldi and Mr Rasting. ”I think this chamber extends further and I’d be willing to stake a chance of finding something worthwhile there if she is adamant at distracting us.” He looked towards his fellow Professor and nodded. ”You take as many of the students as possible, search that corridor and whichever rooms lie beyond it.”

He nodded before moving towards where Eiji, Missa and Claudine were attempting to get past the Founder. Stopping four or five paces short on purpose, Carwyn slid a smile onto his face and motioned to Helga Hufflepuff. ”I would love a cupcake, if I may?” He didn’t move any closer however, hoping that she would come to him with that sugary goodness. He hadn’t really wanted to have a cupcake, but he would do anything to hold her back as needed.

Here was hoping that they found what they were looking for, and quickly.
