Middle FloorsThe central floors of the castle contain several classrooms, the headmaster's office, and numerous nooks and crannies to explore. Be careful around the portraits, they are not known to be the best at keeping gossip to a minimum.
Connected to the Armour Gallery, the Trophy Room is where all awards, trophies, cups, plates, shields, statues, and medals are put on display behind crystal glass. Dating back centuries are the numerous achievements that have been made by those who've walked within these walls. When the sunlight shines through the windows and hits the glass just right, the items and names within glimmer and shine oh so bright.
Hundreds of names can be read here, ranging from the great Harry Potter, teachers and ministers of the past, many of today's famous Quidditch players, and more. Carefully looking at all of the names on each individual nameplate, some of you just might even find your parents' names here. Feel free to admire and strive to get your name listed somewhere in this room before you graduate. Just don't press your fingers against the glass or think about having a late-night duel here. You will be sitting here every night for detention until each trophy and plaque in sight is polished to perfection if you do.

For some reason, Ary hadn’t spent a lot of time in the Trophy Room in his single visit there previously. That’s right, folks! For some reason, the place hadn’t really appealed to him. Not until Dy had encouraged him to try out for the Slytherin Gobstones team, pointing out that though Ary didn’t fancy himself the games-y/sports-y person, he could still be an asset to the team since he received training from two talented Gobstones players. Dy herself, who was on the Junior Hippogriffs team, and their dad - seasoned pro player Aditya. After Ary had been reluctant to take her advice, his sister had suggested a trip to this Room to draw motivation from their dad.
So, here the fourth year was and with Bry at his side as usual. “Did Aunty Hady enjoy being a prefect?” Ary asked her curiously. “I know dad enjoyed it though he didn’t really like being bossy to the other students.” That must have been tough.

Nothing against this room, but it had never really appealed much to her before. Why, that was, really she wasn't completely sure. Shiny trophies were very pretty to look at but well... These weren't hers. Perhaps that was the issue. Either way, Bry knew that both of her parents had at least a plaque or something somewhere in this room with their names on it. Sure she was proud of them both.. but.. her parents were fantastic so looking at a trophy just didn't do much for her.
So why was she in here? Because Aryan was. Duh. "Mama was the Head Girl.. but papa got to be a Prefect and Head Boy." No, she wasn't correcting him, simply reminding him. "Uh-huh, she said she it wasn't as terrible as she thought it would be, most students were respectful and she really liked helping the younger ones." Her mama always had the helper mentality within her or at least that's what her grandpoppy told her. "I think she was more shocked about papa getting to be a Prefect." She giggled.

Shinies were for Nifflers anyway, and Bry was no Niffler. So there was also that reason why she wouldn’t have been interested in the Trophy Room. Ary totally would have understood his girlfriend’s feelings towards her parents and their plaques. Frankie and Hady Paton were quite remarkable. As were his own dads, of course, but Ary felt like he was more like Dad Adi. For one thing, the man was competitive and he himself was a bit like that.
“Oh yeah. It’s difficult to keep track sometimes.” He wondered if Bry felt any pressure about being as outstanding as her parents were {and still are}. Then again, Ary thought she was quite remarkable in her own way. As for him? He was quite content with being just himself. “Mhmm, that sounds like Aunty Hady.” The boy still hadn’t forgotten how helpful the woman was for as long as he had known her - which was all his life. “She’s great with offering advice too,’’ he continued as he crossed the room to the Student Leaders section. “Really?” Ary laughed, looking over at Bry. “Why? Was he as mischievous as Logan?”

No, no Nifflers here. Buuuuuut she did like Nifflers so that had to count for something, right? Ary was always spectacular in the ways that he understand how she felt about things. They were, weren't they? Remarkable parents. Remarkable siblings. How lucky were they both?
"It is," The blonde agreed, nodding her head slightly. Absolutely. Not only from her parents but she was the baby, her siblings were all doing amazing things and if anyone took a look at the rest of her family, aunts, uncles and cousins.. all of them were so talented and had insane careers. But no, she never let it show that she worried about any of that. Her boyfriend though, Merlin no one could say a thing wrong about him. He was perfect in everywhere. So good on him for never feeling the pressure! "Uh-huh, mama is super helpful." She should know, she went to her all the time for advice on ALL the things. "Yep!" Bry giggled. "Of course! Where do you think he learned it all from?" Papa was teaching them to be little pranksters from the time they could walk.

Ary did know he was very fortunate and incredibly lucky to have been adopted by such wonderful parents. His fathers were just the best. As were his siblings. He knew Bry felt the dame about her family because Ary loved hers like his own. It helped that Aunty Hady and Dad Adi were best friends too. He bet the two didn’t know how close their respective families would become back when they were in school.
He would hope that Bry wasn't worried about having a super huge career. Though he supposed being a Ninja Warrior did come with its challenges. Ary himself was content with running the family Reserve someday in the very near future. He was already been trained on how to keep it going efficiently by his fathers. Therefore, there should be no trouble when the transition time came for new management.
“Look, there’s your mum’s name!” The guy had been peering at the plaques for the student leaders and Hady’s was the first he saw. Peering back over at Bry, he laughed. “Uncle Frankie couldn’t have been that bad otherwise he wouldn’t have gotten to be a student leader. Here’s his plaque.” He pointed it out.

Ary's dad's were the greatest too! This girl felt the exact same way, they were family to her as well. Always had been. This was the way when they had been raised as such all their lives. That.. was a great question. One the two of them should ask their parents sometime.
Becoming a Ninja Warrior was her dream. It's all she ever wanted to be. While it wasn't a traditional career like what some others were used to, even in their world, it took years and years worth of hard work and dedication. As for Ary running his family's reserve, that was something this girl could get behind! He would do brilliantly when the time came for that!
Hmm? Bryony walked over to stand at his side, peering closely at the plague. Hiya Mama's plague!," she giggled waving at it. "Mm' I don't know.. mama always says that papa and her are a great team and she helps take his crazy." The blonde smiled brightly, waving at her papa's plague. "Hi papa's plague!"

Bry was certainly correct about that! Being a Ninja Warrior was an unexpected career path and Ary remembered vividly when they were younger, he had mentioned to her that it wasn’t an actual career. Yes, he had had his doubts but as they grew older, he had simply let her be. The most important thing was that the girlfriend was happy.
Aryan laughed at that comment. “Clearly her taking away some of the crazy worked.” Because look at Uncle Frankie now! Head of the MLE Department! “And here’s my dad’s." It made Ary proud to see Adi's name there! "I doubt I would ever make a good student leader,’’ he mused. “But I don’t care about that.” Ary moved over to the section dedicated to Gobstones. “Dy says I should try out for the Slytherin Gobstones team. I’m on the fence about it but what do you think, Bry?”
Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium
Oooh, Bry sure remembered that day! Did Ary recall the fit she had thrown afterwards as she insisted that it most certainly WAS a career and that she would prove him wrong some day? It was great that he wanted her to be happy buuuuuut she hadn't forgotten sweet boyfriend, and this girl was going to show him how wrong he was someday!
"It did, didn't it? But don't think that's going to work with me, okay?" the blonde giggled, grinning widely at Ary. Flail! Bry knew this! Her papa was doing so fantastic in his own chosen career path. Same for her mama even though her mama hadn't actually ever planned to become a Hogwarts Professor. As with her own parents... Bry wiggled her fingers at uncle Adi's plague. "Hiya Uncle Adi!" Ahem. Huh? Now why would he think that? Bry tilted her head at him in clear confusion. "Why would you think that? You'd make an EPIC student leader!" And no, she wasn't just saying that because he's her boyfriend.
As Aryan moved over towards the trophy's and plagues dedicated towards go stones, she obviously moved over with him. "Gobstones? Sure. You enjoy it don't you? You always beat me. There's never any harm in trying."

Ary most certainly did remember that! He also remembered feeling that he would be a terrible person if he continued to insist that being a Ninja Warrior wasn’t a real occupation so he had shut up from then on. All the Ninja training made Bry happy and who was he to make her feel otherwise?
Now that got a laugh out of Ary. “I’ve already learnt that much. You’re forever crazy.” And he meant this in the best of ways because unlike most others, he could handle Bry’s crazy. “I can hear dad saying hi back to you and inviting you to go help with the griffs.” Because Adi had deemed Ary and Bry old enough to do so now. But now the boy shrugged. “I dunno… other than to think that I wouldn’t be strict when I need to be.” Bry though… all she needed to do was unleash her crazy and any misbehaving student would pull themselves together.
“I do. Just not completely sure I’m good enough for the team even though I’ve learnt plenty from dad and Dy.” Ary studied the Gobstones Cup thoughtfully. “But you’re right; there’s no harm in trying. If I do make the team, I’ll get more practice which means I get to beat you quicker everytime we play.”

Terrible person? Certainly not. Bryony never would've thought of him as such. All she would've done was continue to throw epic fits to prove her point. That's all. It was good that Ary was much too smart to put himself through any of that and had simply let her have her way. Or, had it been?
Bry beamed brightly at him. "Forever and ever!" Her crazy was never going to fade. Ary would always be the one that calmed her crazy.. sometimes. "Any day of the week!" When it came to helping with the Griffs, she was there. The blonde shook her head. "You don't need to be strict. You're smart and calm and helpful and anyone would listen to you." Otherwise they'd have to deal with her.
Blink. Blink. "Not good enough? Of course you are. You'll be fantastic." Why he didn't see how amazing he was, was beyond her. "You're gonna make the time." Bry nudged him with her elbow. "Hey! If you weren't so cute I might take offense to that." Good thing she knew he was only teasing her.

She would never see him in a bad light because Bryony Rose Paton was utterly biased when it came to him. Not that Ary was going to complain; it was nice that she saw him in a purely positive manner. He laughed again. “The day your crazy fades away would be the end of the world.” The enthusiasm Bry had just displayed when he mentioned the griffs had him chuckling. “Not the Reserve’s griffs while you’re at Hogwarts, silly,’’ Ary remarked lightly. The School’s griffs though… that was different.
Aryan honestly hadn’t considered that bit of wisdom Bryony had just passed on to him. “I hadn’t thought of that,’’ came his reply somewhat slowly because Bry’s words were still being mulled over by his brain. By that logic, then yes. He would have made an excellent student leader. “You really think so?” Ary asked, feeling a weight lifting from his chest because he knew Bry wouldn’t lie to him. “So I should definitely try out?” He was now only asking just to be sure. “Are you flirting with me, Bry?” But indeed he was cute.
Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium
So what if she was? Bry had every single reason in the world to be bias when it came to Ary. He was purely fantastic. "You bet it will be. The world will be a boring place without me." His laughter made her smile. "Welllllll, maybe not while I'm here but whenever we're at home I'll always be ready to help." That went for the Griffs here at Hogwarts too.. of her mama needed any help with them.
He hadn't?! Bry inched herself closer to him, slinging her arm around her shoulders so she could give him a gentle squish. "Well now it's in you're head cause I've mentioned it to you." Cue a sweet smile from her. "Absolutely! I have all the faith in you, Ar. You're gonna be amazing." Nod nod. Yesssss, he should definitely try out for the team!
"What if I am?" The blonde giggled, nudging Ary playfully. "I gotta make sure you know just how much I like you." Least he ever forget!

Ary would simply leave Bry be when it came to her biasness - not because he wanted her to be that way with him but because she was just too stubborn to be reasoned with. He meant this in the best possible way. He did, however, chuckle at her words. It was true: the world would be a dreary one without her. Bry certainly added a great amount of entertainment to his life. “Dad wouldn’t refuse your offer and you know it.” Bry might have even his dad wrapped around her finger.
The girlfriend really did know how to make him feel better. Ary found himself grinning at her as she continued speaking. The arm around his shoulder was a welcomed gesture. “Aren’t you always so smart?” he teased before sobering up and nodding. “Okay. You and Dy win. I’ll give it a go. If anything, I can always quit.” It definitely would not hurt to give the sport a shot.
Ary nudged Bry back. “Do you think you’d ever let me forget it?”
