Default Moving Staircases


The most logical way for you to get from one part of the castle to the next, from down to the dungeons all the way up to the seventh floor, is making use of the staircases. Even though using them is logical, that does not mean it is going to provide the easiest route from Point A to Point B. The staircases in this tower are notorious for moving without warning whether you are walking on them or not. Hopefully luck is on your side today.

Covering the walls from the bottom of the tower to the top are hundreds of portraits. While they may be intriguing, it is important that you stay focused on the task at hand: getting from one flight of stairs to the next. If you're not paying attention, the staircase you are on will move and you'll have to maneuver your way back down or up again or wind up sinking through one of the trick steps. Under no circumstances should you be sliding down the banisters -- doing so will put your life at risk and, if you live to tell the tale, cost you two week's worth of detention.

She was finally getting used to navigating the castle. But, of course, one challenge she was still facing were the moving staircases. Cornelia honestly could not understand why the people who built the place didn't make them stationary, or at least be able to instantly know when someone want to use them. More often than not, they always moved when she needed to use them. One time she even was stuck standing on one as it moved from one landing to the next. It was all very annoying and not a fun time.

Today was no different as she was fighting with them once again. But she had a plan. If she acted like she wasn't going to step on it and instead make it look like she was going the other direction, maybe she could trick it and step on at the last second before it decided to move again.

The first year needed to get up to the sixth floor for Transfiguration from the dungeons, so she was dashing left and right. So far her strategy was working, and she was quite pleased with herself. Determined as she was at outsmarting the stairs, she was not expecting to fall victim to one of the trick steps.

"AHH!" she screamed as her foot unexpectedly sunk through one of the steps. Soon enough her entire leg was in there. "HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME!" She was almost on the verge of tears. Was this really how she was going to die?

There was one positive thing about the Hoods roaming the castle. And that was that Minjae actually left his common room in time to get to classes instead of waiting for the last minute and having to run up the stairs. That was it. That was the only positive thing.

The next lesson he had happened to be in one of the towers so the Hufflepuff had taken a shortcut to the moving staircases. He waited till a younger student passed by him on the stairs, trying not to laugh at the sight of her dashing left and right . Looking at her curiously because he had no clue what she was doing, the seventh year chose to ignore it because he had his own class he needed to get to.

He followed after the girl, his hands deep in his pocket as he secretly held his Alder wand in his hand. Just in case those Hoods decided to go all ‘attack all unsuspecting muggleborns’. If that time ever came he was not just going to stand there and do nothing.

Jumping over the fake step and passing the girl on the stairs , she did realize that she was much slower by dashing left to right ? Minjae was about to climb on to another staircase that happened to move when he heard the scream. He froze for a second or two, silently hating himself for doing that instead of being cool and turning around with his wand at the ready.

Looking behind him and seeing the young girl’s leg stuck in the fake stair, he sighed. How many times had that happened to him when he was a first year ? Too many times…. ”Calm down, calm down” he said as he walked back downstairs, looking pretty bored until he was two steps above her and held out his hand. ”They really need to fix those bloody steps” he said more to himself than to her. ”Here, grab my hand , i’ll pull you out”

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

The loud shouting brought Claudine in the opposite direction from which she had been going. Even before she got there, the girl knew why the voice needed help. What was even more, the voice sounded familiar. Arriving at the scene, Claudine knew immediately why the voice was familiar. It belonged to a baby Snakette. Cornelia, if she remembered correctly.

“Rich boy’s right,’’ the fifth year spoke up, coming closer to the duo. “Panic will get you nowhere.’’ Why was it that Minjae sounded so unconcerned? Was Claudine even concerned? Not really, but that was usually a personality trait for her. But she certainly was calm. “Grab my hand too.’’ Two hands were better than one, right?

In a matter of seconds, Cornelia was ready to accept that this was how she was going to die. Death by stairs. It really was disappointing, wasn't it? As she continued sink, all eleven years of her life flashed before her. She was so young and had so much life left in her. There were still many questions she thought she had time to get answered. What did Polyjuice taste like? Did the phoenix come first or the flame? What was it like kissing a boy? What was for pudding that evening for supper? All important things she would never know.

But then voices brought her back to reality. Though she was still slowly sinking, she wasn't as far in as she had thought. Not to mention that there were not one, but two, older students there to rescue her was reassuring, and they didn't seem at all concerned. It helped calm her down, but only a little.

Two hands were held out to her. Cornelia looked at them both. She instantly latched onto Claudine's since she knew her. The other hand that belonged to the Hufflepuff, however, was not one she grabbed right away. The first year was a bit apprehensive. He was a Hufflepuff, she didn't know him, and the way Claudine said 'rich boy' gave off a certain vibe.

She did eventually grab onto it, though. Claudine did say to grab on to hers as well as the older boy's, so she was going to trust her housemate here. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" she told them both.

Rich boy....

Minjae gave the Slytherin next to him a sideways glare."Stop calling me that, Blaze" He had never liked that nickname. In fact, he disliked all nicknames for him. Irithel had at least stopped calling him Minnie after he had asked her to. It was better than being called Mudblood. BUT STILL!

"I have a name and you know bloody well what it is. So use it." the events of the year had made the Hufflepuff on edge and he had been prone to losing his temper over the smallest things these day. He lacked sleep, he was irritable, he was anxious and constantly afraid he would be tortured or killed just for the fact that he was Muggleborn. Claudine Blaze calling him by that nickname was truthfully the least of his worries but it somehow annoyed him even more.

He turned his gaze back to the youngest Slytherin and watched as she took Claudine's hand without hesitation. His hand was lingering in the air for a second or two before he felt her hand in his as well and he braced himself to pull her back up. "Is your leg ok?" He asked after her thank you' s. His tone was more softer and caring now than when he spoke to Claudine. "Do you need to see Healer Recard?" he hoped not though, the woman had enough to do these days and a couple of scratches would heal on its own anyways.

Claudine smirked. Whereas Minjae always got worked up and fretted about her because of the nickname, it always made her amused. You could say that the Hufflepuff was a source of amusement to her. What wasn’t amusing, however, was his temper tantrum; he’d never reacted that particular way before. It sort of wiped the smirk off her face. Maybe there were personal issues going on with him or maybe it was the issues at the School taking a toll on him. Whatever. Claudine reminded herself that she needed to be a little more considerate. “Sorry,’’ she mumbled. Claudine Blaze did not usually go around apologising to anyone. Let’s just say that she was starting to be nicer to almost everyone.

Anyway.

There was a little Snakette that needed rescuing. The fifth year didn’t even have the time to be surprised that Cornelia chose to grab ahold of her first. She always thought that anyone would choose someone else over her. Ah, well. Claudine grabbed a hold and helped to heave the smaller Slytherin out of her trap. In addition to the concern for the girl’s foot, there was some about the older students hurting Cornelia’s hands.

“You’re welcome, Cornelia. And… what Minjae asked.’’ If Reccard was needed, Claudine was prepared to escort Cornelia to the Hospital Wing.

The vibe only continued the more the Hufflepuff boy spoke. Cornelia really didn't like his tone, and she found it a bit odd that he was being kind of rude to Claudine one moment and then the next he was being really nice to her. Her brow furrowed a fit. Huh. Older kids were weird and so emotional.

Her thoughts were soon shifted to her leg. Her face winced a bit. She had been so busy getting over the shock of falling through the staircase and being thankful that she didn't die prematurely. To top it all off, she was also trying to figure out why the boy was being so mean and nice at the same time.

Originally she hadn't noticed any pain coming from her ankle. Now, though, she felt something. It wasn't too bad though. She wasn't crying like she almost had been just moments ago. But, then again, what if it being hurt meant she got to be carried around the castle? It was something worth considering... It would be oh-so very convenient... And, if it was an older student, they could chat on their way to whenever she wanted to go and she could get all those questions she had answered...

But she didn't want Rich Boy carrying her around. "I think," she started, looking from one older student to the next for a bit before her gaze settled on Claudine, "I'm alright. I think I just need a minute." She let go of their hands and made an attempt to stand without any support, which only caused Cornelia to wince again.

Her little ‘sorry’ was not good enough. He was tired of the nickname and he wished she would just stop and call him by his proper name. ”If you’re truly sorry then stop calling me ‘Rich Boy’ whenever we meet. ” surely she could do that right?! Minjae doubted it though. ”I mean it, i’m tired of it. Call me by my real name”

His attention went back to the little first year girl as she suddenly spoke and he saw her look from him to Claudine . It was obvious she chose the older Slytherin over him since they were in the same House. It didn’t even bother him. He had enough trouble to deal with anyway than a little first year picking sides.

He watched as the girl attempted to stand on her own without their support and he was about to turn away and leave for class when he heard the wince. ”That didn’t sound ‘alright’ ” he said as he looked at Claudine. ”Maybe she sprained her ankle when she fell” he looked down at the little first year. ”Is it okay if she checks?” he asked, gesturing to the older Slytherin.

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

Claudine would have laughed out loud had she known what Cornelia was thinking. Wait until you grow up, little Snakette. Fellow students like Minjae are going to be so much fun to tease. She also wanted to laugh at Minjae admonishing her. Her lips actually twitched upwards before she got herself under control. “Or else what?’’ the fifth year asked, completely unconcerned.

But there were more pressing issues at hand. Claudine’s attention, for the moment, was fixed on Cornelia’s ankle. She half expected to see bruising or swelling. Did the stair even cause that? She wouldn’t know as she’d always been careful enough to avoid that particular one. Wasn’t Cornelia the brave one though? The older Slytherin tilted her head as Cornelia tried to go solo by testing out her foot. The wince said it all. “Why don’t you sit for a few minutes? Maybe you can try massaging your ankle.” If that didn’t help, Claudine would definitely be escorting her to their Head of House. “Or one of us can check as Rich… Minjae suggested.’’

She tried to distract herself from the occasional throb of pain that she could feel around her ankle. Fortunately for her, this drama between Rich Boy and Claudine was enough to do so. There banter though was quite a mystery to her, more so the words coming from the Hufflepuff. He didn't want to be called Rich Boy? Why? She had well-off parents and, well, that was a good thing to her. Older boys were extra weird.

Cornelia's blue eyes darted back and forth between the pair of older students. She almost didn't notice herself wincing again because she was so caught up in whatever was going on between them. She waited, wondering how the boy would respond to Claudine's 'Or else what?' question.

But, of course, the tension had to be sidelined as attention when back to her. Wince. Sigh. The first year was still standing, determined not the believe anything was wrong with her. But her ankle just didn't feel right for some reason. The older students knew it too, since they already were telling her what to do.

Without saying anything, she sat down on the floor, wincing as she went, and then raised her little leg in the air as high as she could. "Check for me, Claudine, please," she spoke. Her gaze then shifted over to Rich Boy Minjae. "So what's wrong with being called 'Rich Boy'?"
