Default Portraits


The walls in the first-floor corridor are covered in tapestries and, hung over them, are portraits of numerous wizards and wizards. Whether you are trying to get to class or are just browsing around, the portraits here will try to start up a conversation with you. If you manage to get on their good side, they'll be willing to reveal secret passageways, share the latest school gossip, and more.

If you have time to spare, definitely go on a brief tangent from whatever it is you are doing. Google Stump is your man to go to if you're looking for answers about the mysteries of the castle; Beaumont Marjoribanks can tell you everything there is to know about gillyweed; and Elizabeth Burke ... well, it would be best to just avoid her for reasons that will be obvious should you strike up a discussion with her about magical blood status. There are other portraits here as well, each with their own unique personalities, and figures from other portraits happen to invade their frames from time to time.

OOC: Please do not role-play for the Portraits.

Bernie had a LOT of questions about the mysteries of the castle, starting with where did the founders' portraits go from last year? She'd heard there was a portrait here who knew everything about anything, and so she was trailing along the wall, one hand drifting on and off the frames that she could touch as she looked for him.

"Google? Google Stump? OK, Google, where are youuuuuuuuu?"

The last time Aboli had trekked this way, she had been verbally assaulted by SOME rude portrait or another, and she since had avoided it. But there was no way to avoid it just now, and so here she was.... trying not to make eye contact with any rude looking portrait.

Why was someone calling for Google???? "You know there's no Google here, right?" she said, thinking the girl was talking about GOOGLE INTERNET GOOGLE.

Was she daft?

"Um, yes there is," Bernie replied confidently to the older girl passing by, not taking her eyes off the portraits yet. They were all acting like they were busy doing other things right now instead of speaking to her?!?! COME ONNNNNNN.

Gooooooooogle? Bernie mouthed it under her breath this time. Then, louder, she addressed a woman pretending to peel a grapefruit: "Madame, puhlease. Which portrait belongs to Google Stump?" She'd show this girl. "I've heard Google, er, Mr. Stump knows everything?"

.... "They've really got Google here? In the paintings?" Aboli almost pressed her nose to one of them before stepping back, realizing she might offend an occupant with her nose. Even if it was a cute nose.

...."Google Stump?" Aboli was still SO confused. "Is Google the name of a portrait?" CLICK. She suddenly began to LAUGH almost MADLY. THAT. WAS. SO. FUNNY. "AND he knows everything?!" Is that where the internet GOOGLE got its name from?! Had a wizard invented Google, then?!

"..........."

Now Bernie knew what it was like to be one of the many, many adults she spoke to on a regular basis.

"Yes, ya silly goose, Google Stump is a portrait." She said this LOUDER than usual to see if the others DID HEAR HER FRUSTRATION and WERE just ignoring her?! She was SURE this Google Stump knows everything was what she'd heard through the grapevine. SURE. OF. IT.

So sure, in fact, that now she whipped her wand out of her boot and pointed it to the lady with the pomelo. What spell was she going to use? Well, she'd decide that later. "WHERE'S GOOGLE? WHERE IS HE?"

Oi, girl over there laughing about nothing. Bernie made bug eyes at her and tilted her head toward the portraits, like, a little help here???

Aboli nodded. Okay.....she understood. And now she was curious to meet this guy. A man named GOOGLE. It was just so weird! "I..wouldn't threaten the paintings. Some of them can be rude." She said gently. "Nor would I send a hex their way...you might get in trouble," she warned the younger girl.

Is this why people disliked Gryffindors? Merlin. Aboli's best friend was one, but she could see why everyone found them so ANNOYING. The red and gold of the girl's tie....Aboli just shoook her head. "There is a time and place to threaten...you don't want to threaten people if what you seek is not worth the price," she said gently. Wise words from Aboli Song. Which brought her to... "So what do you need from this Google anyway?"

...oh, could they? Ha. Ha. Ha. What a joke, considering the portraits she was looking for. Bernie scoffed a bit, though she didn't wave her wand at any of the portraits YET. The word 'trouble' meant something to her after all that had happened last year.

Speaking of threatening portraits and what she wanted from them... Bernie tilted her head at the Slytherin. "Alright, maybe you know then." Or maybe not. "I want to know where the portraits of Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, and all those other troublemakers went." She waved her hand that wasn't holding her wand; this hand wave stood in for the names of the other two founders. "They were VERY annoying last year but now they seem to have disappeared!"

Unfortunately, Aboli wasn't all that up on the details of what had happened last term, only whatever had been released in the Prophet. "I...I don't know because I wasn't here last year. I'm...new, you know," she said with a bit of an uncomfortable shrug. This one...was one Gryffindor she had seem in some of their mixed classes who was...er...

Rambunctious, to say the least.

And apparently not that good of friends with Odaline. "Hey...you're the one Odaline hit in the head," she said with an eyebrow raise. "How is your head?" she asked, only slightly concerned. If anything, it only knocked a FEW loose brain cells loose. The girl had seemed fine in class.

"Oh." Was all Bernadette had to say to that. She felt bad for the girl; she'd missed an exciting year at Hogwarts. But also, "Where did you go before this?" Now Bernie was curious and had decided to put her wand back into her boot. SEE, PORTRAITS? No threats here.

For now.

Ooooooooh yeah, mentioning that made her head hurt again. Bernie reached up and tenderly rubbed the nubbin on her skull that was courtesy of Odaline. "It'll recover," she sniffed imperiously. "I'm Bernadette, by the way. I have a name. Not just 'the one Odaline hit in the head.'" She stared intensely at the older girl to give the OpPorTuNiTy to state her name also.

It was good that the girl had put her wand away. Aboli felt safer. She didn't trust A. Gryffindors or B. younger students with their wands, so...the other girl had a double-whammy of distrust from Aboli in regard to her magic use. "I was home-schooled. I had a private tutor," she said simply. "It's my OWL year so...I wanted to be in SCHOOL for it. Not to mention being veeeeeery lonely without many people my age to hang out with," she shruuuugged. Made that seem like the SECONDARY reason, when really it was probably the MAIN reason. But she just didn't want people to know that. Aboli Song? Pfft. she wasn't LONELY or desperate for friends or anything.

Bernadette. "I think I've heard people say your name in classes...Bernadette. Got it. I'm Aboli," she nodded, keeping her hands behind her back as she merely smiled at the girl. "Why do you want to find those paintings anyway? They caused a LOT of trouble last term...right?"

It seemed.......like Bernadette was ASKING for trouble.

It seemed.......like Bernadette was ASKING for trouble.
Wow, fancy, a homeschooler with a private tutor!!! "So are your whole family wizards then?" Bernadette blurted, as she often did. This was one of her favorite questions. The way some wizards studied Muggles, she studied wizard families, since she didn't have any wizards in her family and wanted to know more about them very very much.

Oh...... did they say her name a lot? Bernie kinda wrinkled her nose at that. It wasn't like she TRIED to get in trouble. It just FOUND her. "Hi Aboli," she repeated the Slytherin's name to committ it to memory. Hmm hmm she'd definitely seen the older girl around this year, maybe at the Slytherin vs. Gryffindor thing? Hmhmhmhm.

The paintings... ah. Bernie looked down at the ground because she couldn't help it, she felt like Aboli was being Lukas or Carsyn or something. "Yeaaaaaah," she replied. "But I also," miss them? "wanted to ask them a few things." Like did they miss walking around? And did they miss her the students? And the classes? And what did they think of the weather this year?

Important stuff. Obviously.

Aboli nodded. "Mhmm. Well. We're not 100% sure because my mum was adopted. But as far as we know...yes. Especially since my grandparents are magical and obviously raised my mum...who is also magical," she shrugged. "Is your family not magical?" Ooooh was she a MUGGLE BORN? Aboli had lots of muggle friends. But she didn't know any muggleborns well!

"Sometimes when people know me real well, they say Boli, but you're not allowed to yet. So don't try it." She warned her. Boli-boo was reserved for her mum and dad ONLY, and usually Tony didn't even use with her often. And the Slytherin STILL did not think finding those portraits was a good idea. "You could ask Headmaster Trent out of curiosity. He seems reasonable enough that he would't be mean about a simple question." From what she could see currently anyway!

"Unless...you're scared of him." SMIRK SMIRK.

OooooOOOOOOoooooh interesting. Bernie's blue eyes widened to take all this information in, even as she leaned up against a portrait who started squawking at her. Shush, you. She was studying a ~wizard~ in the ~wild~ here. "So did your grandparents go to Hogwarts? Bet they have a lot of good stories." Like, did they know Nicholas Flamel? Bernie was pretty sure wizards lived longer than Muggles, but HOW LONG did they live? She didn't know. As for her? "Oh, yeah, they're all plebs." Bernie shrugged to irritate the portrait she was leaning on all the more. "Boring boring boring." Her tone said let's not talk about me, let's talk about YOU!

And clearly the girl was into talking about herself hehe. Bernie put her hands on her hips to imitate Aboli-NOT-Boli. "Well sometimes when people know ME real well, they say Bernie, but you're not allowed to yet. So don't try it." If she weren't like thirteen years old and WAY above sticking her tongue out, she would have.

Bernie wondered if the Slytherin was playing a prank on her now, mentioning the Headmaster out of the blue. Way to ruin a perfectly good day, ABOLI-NOT-BOLI. "I think the Headmaster is probably tired of my simple questions," she replied honestly, if not a little cryptically. Unless....... she narrowed her eyes at that Slytherin smirk. How many times HAD Aboli heard Bernie's name mentioned, even in passing?

"I'm not scared of HIM." Paaaaaaaaause. This was true. She liked dear ol' grumpygills Headmaster Trent very VERY much. "I'm scared of him EXPELLING me, like he's been threatening for the last however long." Six, seven months at least. Bernie waved a hand. "It doesn't matter. Point is, he doesn't wanna hear from me, he doesn't wanna see me in detention anymore, and he DEFINITELY doesn't want me bringing up Godric Gryffindor's name to him."

She was the one smirking now. "But you, on the other hand......" Well, Aboli was the NEW GIRL in town, so SHE could get away with annoying Kale's dad.... probably.

Aboli.....nodded awkwardly, eyeing Bernadette like she was.....weird. Which Aboli had a lot of nerve doing, by the way. "My grandparents did, but my mother did not. She was homeschooled as well," she shrugged. "Not nice to call your family plebs. They're probably interesting in their own way. Muggles are weird, too," she said. "Some of my good mates are muggles." Former snog-buddy, more like. Bernadette didn't need to know all that, though.

"Got it...Bernadette." Although...Aboli would have to try the Bernie next time they had a joint class together. She wouldn't be able to pass up bothering someone, especially a YOUNGER student. BUT SHE BETTER NOT RETALIATE AND CALL HER BOLI BACK.

The fifth year wondered what on Earth Bernadette had done to be threatened with expulsion O_O She wondered if she should even continue TALKING to her because Aboli was a rule-follower - well, for now she was. She was TRYING right now to follow rules. "Um......how close are you to getting to expelled, then?" she cocked an eyebrow. "You want me to ask? I can. I don't mind. But it'll cost you," she shruggggged casually.

Bernie was NOT the weird one here. OBVIOUSLY Aboli was. What the heck kind of a name was Aboli Boli anyway? She sounded like a type of spaghetti noodle sauce. And also? Everyone knew that homeschooled kids lacked social skills, thus PROVING that Aboli was weird. "Yeah so?" So? Who cared about being NICE? Cue a big eyeroll from Bernie. It was easy for this girl to profess that her quote-unquote good mates were Muggles. But would she live as one? Doubtful. Bernie sincerely did not believe her.

Bernie shrugged again but this time pushed off the portrait and started walking down the hallway toward the stairs to the Headmaster's office. A shrug, yes, that was her answer for now. "I DOOOOOOOOOOOooooo want you to ask," she turned the topic to the girl, still smirking a bit herself. "Okay, I don't mind owing you one. But I'll state that, for the record, I'm poor, and my parents don't have any galleons or sickles or knuts, and I'm sure they wouldn't be willing to pay any kind of ransom if you try kidnapping me."

Just saying. She side-eyed the girl anyway because she looked like the type to do extortion on the DL. Slytherins, smh.

Aboli would have agreed, had she been any sort of gifted legilimens, that she was very weird, yes. But she wouldn't agree ALOUD. She was right about the social skills thing >.> Ahem. "I'm just SAYING don't judge people by the abilities they can't control." That just seemed unfair! "Do you lord your magic over all your family members????"

And then, she scoffed. "I don't want your money. I'm well off, thank you," she waved the girl away. "I want something substantial, though. I guess I CAN get back to you - are we going NOW?" she asked as she suddenly went to catch up to Bernadette. "I don't know where the Headmaster's office is!" So she hoped the Gryffindor girl did. "I would never kidnap someone...I have way too much going for me currently. I can't spend that amount of time in Azkaban!" she exclaimed, shocked. Merlin!

And surely the Headmaster wouldn't know her. She was nEW, one of the MANY new people here. Though.........he did keep telling her to loosen up, so maybe there was recognition there. Hmm. It would be awkward if he was just, like, "and who r u" ugh.

Noah had yet to spend much time in this particular part of the castle since the beginning of the term so he was pleasantly surprised when his wanderings took him here. Huh. Cool. That was simply all he thought as he wandered down this particular corridor, admiring all the portraits as he went. He had no destination or at least one that he remembered so he was content to just be and wander. Noah was fairly certain that he had no prior commitments; however, last time, he had felt this way, he had almost missed Defense Against the Dark arts class. Thank Merlin, he saw Islay headed to class so he had followed her.

Perhaps the Portraits had a few answers to what he should be doing at this precise moment.

Maybe there was something else he could have been doing? Was he missing an important hang out with friends... or worse the girlfriend? Would Aboli give him the cold shoulder???! ?! :'( *LEGULP* Or would Ronan force him into another penguin/unicorn suit with Matty's help? Was he missing a very special date with Kimmie?

UGH. MEMORY PROBLEMS WERE ROUGH.

UGH. MEMORY PROBLEMS WERE ROUGH.
Not only was he dealing with memory problems, but he also had to deal with the lack of magic around the place, including the house elves' ability to do their job right. By the looks of it, the younger Gryffindor had made his way down to the Great Hall to get some breakfast, only to be served in a manner he did not expect. At all.

He'd been looking forward to eating his full English breakfast in all its glory, only to have it magically appear above him and dumped on his head. He was shocked, and almost...almost burst into tears because it was such a waste of glorious food. Instinctively, he got up from his seat, made his way upwards again to get washed for the day.

Along the way, he bumped into an older boy from his house, and was instantly distracted by what he was doing...or lack of whatever he was supposed to be doing. Noah also forgot at this point why he was making his way up again from the Great Hall. With baked beans dripping from his head, and a perfect sunny side-up egg on his shoulder, he sidled up next to the boy and started a perfectly normal conversation. "You should look for Google Stump if I were you." he said, motioning his hand with a blood sausage towards the portraits. "Can I interest you with a full English breakfast in these trying times?" he asked offering him the other sausage dangling from his head. "It's super good." he continued taking a huge bite from the one he was holding.

Trying times indeed.

Noah heard a voice next to him and glanced down to find a younger Gryffindor lad beside him covered in breakfast. Oh. Well this was surely a sight, thought Noah as he eyed the boy who had baked beans covering his head and was that an egg on his shoulder. Had there been a food fight in the Great Hall? wondered Noah.

"Google Stump? Google as in the web browser?" asked the fifteen year old with both eyebrows raised. He hadn't remembered someone being called Google at least in his History of Magic book but then again maybe he hadn't gotten that far. Noah had to do a double take because ... Was that a blood sausage that he was holding? Noah had liked the delicacy until he found out what it was and had, for now own, vowed never to eat a blood sausage ever again. These Brits and their weird customs. He missed normal breakfasts, such as oatmeal, or his family breakfasts which consisted of radish strip kimchi, short ribs, and cold cucumber soup. That was home for him.

And now the younger year was offering the blood sausage from his head. Noah tried his hardest not to curl his nose when he saw it. It smelled delicious but ..... He felt his stomach gurgle uneasily. "Smells good... but... I... I think I'll pass thanks. Food fight in the Great Hall?" he asked, trying to look down the corridor that lead to the Great Hall. He hadn't heard a commotion but wouldn't be surprised if there had been one. There had been several at Illvermorny during his time but Noah had managed to avoid it. If the boy hadn't have been in a food fight then Noah's next guess was that someone either dared him to wear his breakfast or accidentally dropped it on him.

Interesting times they lived in where students donned their breakfast as... accessories?
