 Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight
It wasn't that Milo had not noticed the scratching noises, more that it was only one of a number of things trying to commandeer his attention, and failing to win out over the others. He came this way only on the tail of a whim, which led him straight down this corridor and directly upon...
He paused mid-step, backed up a little, and read through the words scratched upon the wall. In spite of the mention of roses and sand , Milo immediately understood that it was not a message for him; his were seldom so clear or easy to be discerned by others, and he always knew immediately even if they were. So it was here for someone else, or perhaps simply:
"Vandals."
At which point he looked towards the older students loitering before the scene. Vandalism did not concern him; the concern was what stood behind it, and, depending on the what, the who. What a coincidence that a Hufflepuff should be discovered here, taking notes. Milo did not yet know that another was nearby, apparently lurking just out of sight, nor of the individual he consorted with. The powers that be had designated that a future problem. |
