| | Unlocked Door Not far from the Entrance Hall, down a corridor, and around a couple of corners, lies a tucked away and seldom used hallway. Though in the past this part of the castle has always been accessible - the chamber at the other end used for storage for the past several years - the door to the hallway is now shut tight and locked, and clearly marked 'DO NOT ENTER'.
Otherwise it appears to be a door like any other in the school. There is, however, a strange, faintly unsettling aura which lingers here; nothing intense, but certainly persistent.
All the same, there are no rules against loitering outside this door. Congregate here if you wish, and be prepared for the consequences if you try to force your way inside. Staff reserve the right to be highly suspicious of frequent visitors.

That was sweet of Lisa. Serena smiled a little at her response. As always, her mannerisms were cute. Her guard was still up, but not because of Lisa. This jungle thing was suspicious. She figured it was so much so that Lisa even dropped her wand. Serena summoned it to her and then offered it back to Lisa.
“I’d like to go—“ Before she could finish, Serena heard a sigh, and had it not been familiar, her crab core wand would have been ready to zap the headmaster. Oops.
He wasn’t going to stop or scold them? Serena eyed him suspiciously. Trust issues with adults, y’know? Which is also why her wand remained in her hand.
After a pause, Serena looked over at Lisa and nudged her head to follow the man. If she’d like to. Serena’s curiosity was far too powerful for her to stay back. Besides, the headmaster served at a great shield.
Once she joined the rest of the group, Serena’s lips parted in surprise. This…is not what the inside of a castle looks like. Whoever created this must be an extremely powerful being. “Headmaster,” she said after reading the scratch marks, “what lived here?” Her heart started racing. “And…are they invited to our dance?”
She didn’t like that last line. Will they be having security at the dance?

| Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight Honestly? Honestly. Kamran didn't really mind the suspicion. Though he'd have liked to know the students trusted him on some level, the fact also remained that it was often a good idea to remain on one's guard. Self-preserving.
Speaking of, he headed through the next door after his wayward (except not really) students. Though he expected and was braced for the heat, Kamran still had to tug slightly at his collar to loosen it as he stepped into the chamber, and squinted around as his eyes adjusted to the light. "Is this everyone who came in?" he asked, raising his voice slightly to reach those who had wandered, while he too joined those at...
... ah. Yes.
Kamran, for his part, appeared neither alarmed nor surprised. In fact, he allowed a half smile. "Well... it does seem eager to make itself known," he said in a measured voice, reading through the message again. "You could say that, Miss Baltazar-Dos Santos. Certainly we'll be making a small announcement that evening." No spoilers here, though their guest was apparently fond of leaving clues. "Things should become a little clearer then."

Serena was kind to offer her wand back to her. Lisa gave her a small smile as she accepted it back. “Thanks.” She nodded in return before looking to the room. She stayed a little back because she was unsure of what laid ahead of them in the room. Even if the other students were exploring, she’d prefer to wait back here and learn that it was safe to explore.
Lisa waited for the Headmaster and Serena’s direction to explore a little further into the room. She stayed behind, quiet, but always listening to the conversations.
Headmaster Kazmi’s answers were thought provoking. “Does it prefer a waltz or the foxtrot, sir?” she asked curiously. She didn’t know what it was but it sounded like it would attend an event later on in the year.

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Jude turned upon hearing Serena’s voice. She, Lisa and Headmaster Kazmi had joined them. He scanned Kazmi’s face, wondering if the group was in any sort of trouble. Apparently not? And he knew it! There had been something here that the student population would eventually find out about! So there was no need for anyone to be suspicious then? Though one could hardly blame the students given all the weird and dangerous stuff that happened at this School. “Maybe he, she, they, whomever prefers the Paso Doble or the Argentine Tango?’’ the Hufflepuff piped up excitedly, following Lisa’s lead in listing dances the stranger might prefer. Those were also two of his fave dances. |

| Baguette | there is no D in my name | TRAITORclaw | Queenie of Narnia Lydia may have gotten a little starry-eyed when Jude so casually recalled a voice recording spell and used it. It wasn't even a particularly flashy spell, but it still amazed her how easily magic came to some people. Considering she still struggled frequently with her spells in class, let alone outside of it, it made her wish that she could be that good with it. Someday, hopefully.
Leaving did seem like a good idea now though, especially since this area wasn't as big as she had thought, so there wasn't much to explore.
Except. Uh. There was the Headmaster with Serena and Lisa in tow.
Um. Lydia's mind scrambled for an excuse for why she shouldn't be in trouble, but... But the Headmaster didn't seem upset? Were they not going to be sent to detention?
Huh. Well. Good. Great! Not getting in trouble was easier than she thought.
But there was still no answer about what had been in here! Whatever it was would be at the dance, which at least implied that it (probably?) wasn't dangerous, but she still didn't want to wait that long to find out! "Is it a creature?" she asked, hoping for more hints. She wasn't a creature expert, if that was what it was, but maybe she could ask one of her smarter friends and they could figure it out.
