Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

[Bachi234]

"Hey, welcome to our little midnight rendevous." Elizabeth smiled and waved the girl down towards Grail and herself.

 

[Grail378]

Grail grins at the girl. "Don't worry I don't bite."

 

[Bachi234]

Grail grins at the girl. "Don't worry I don't bite."

"Well, at least so far he hasn't," Elizabeth said with a grin as big as Grail's.

 

[Ainuhina]

Aileen, still unsure about what to do, went down the stairs and sat down in one of the chairs at the fire....

 

[Phoenixtears1]

"Ahem!" Shouted a balding man from the corner of room. He watched as all three of the students jumped and turned their heads toward the mysterious voice.

"There may not be anyone else in here, but we are trying to sleep!" The old, crinkly man was painting a picture of the portrait he, himself, was in. "The rest of us," he motioned towards all of the other pictures, most containing people with angered faces, "are very tired, and would like a bit of peace! So, if you don't mind, would you please take this little party to another part of the castle!" He pointed out of the common room with his left hand, the hand without the paintbrush.

"Oh, also, you! The brown-haired one," he shot a furious finger at Grail, "I think we would all appreciate it if you would stop taking midnight strolls in our homes!" The man whipped around and continued the portrait of himself.

 

[Bachi234]

"Sorry," Elizabeth apologized to the old man. "So, you two, what do you think. Should we go to sleep and try to meet up later to continue this little discussion," she said, "or, should we go out on a little midnight stroll around the castle?" A hint of a mischeivous smile played at her lips as she gave each of her fellow peers a questioning look. Both has it's plus sides and negative sides, she thought, but I guess I could use some fresh air... as well as some sleep. I wonder what they'll say...

 

[Ainuhina]

Aileen gave Elizabeth a rather frightened look when she suggested going for a night stroll through the castle...getting to the ravenclaw rooms had been adventure enough for her since it was only the second time she was in the wizarding world....not wanting the others to think she was frightened she didn't say a thing.....

 

[Grail378]

Grail smiles softly. "Need you ask? I'm always up for anything any time." Slowly he turns to the painting. "I don't remember you complaining when I brought you fresh paints."

 

[Phoenixtears1]

"Ha!" Yelled the man back. "That was ages ago! Now get going before I hex you right out of the room!"

 

[Ainuhina]

Aileen gathered all her courage and said " Uhm...wouldn't it be better if we all went to bed???????"

 

[Grail378]

Grail smiles. "No-one makes anyone do anything they don't want to okay and no-one will think less of you. it canbe this way when you first come into the wizardry world but you soon stop being starled by anything magical." Grail turns to the painting again. "Let me guess you want more paint then?"

Swiftly he moves next to the painting he camem through and the door.

 

[Bachi234]

Elizabeth turned to Aileen and said, "Oh, come on! This could be your first real adventure at Hogwarts! Though," she said, tilting her head in thought, "I guess it is a bit early in the school year. Wait, no, I am definetely going. I can't miss out on a midnight stroll! Sorry, I'm talking to myself. So, Aileen, are you coming?" She was grinning and then turned and went to stand next to Grail who was waiting expectantly.

 

[Phoenixtears1]

"No!" Thundered the man again, "I DO NOT want more paint! Stop being so arrogant boy! I just want some PEACE....AND....QUIET! Now get out! This is the last time. If you do not vacate the area, I will run straight over to Professor Flitwick, and then we'll see who will have a smart mouth!" The painter pointed towards the door as he gave his loud speech. "Hmph!" He said as he spun around, once again focused on his masterpiece.

 

[Grail378]

"Hey chill alright I'm ready to go either way." He glares at the paintng then shrugs and turns to the others watching elizabeth walk towards him.

 

[Ainuhina]

"I think I'll go to bed," Aileen says..."It's no good getting yourself into trouble right away in your first night here."

 

[Bachi234]

"Suit yourself," Elizabeth said with a smile, "but you are probably right about the whole 'it's not good to get into trouble right at the start of the school year' thing. But, that's never stopped me in the past." She smiled again and then turned to Grail and pointed her hand to the door, "after you, Grail." She smiled at him and waited for him to walk out of the common room.

 

[Grail378]

Grail grins and walks out the common room thn turns to wait for Elizabeth to follow, suddenly he hears footsteps and hides as a perfect walks down the hall. That was to close, He thinks.

 

[Bachi234]

Elizabeth peeks out from the door that she had been hiding behind and says, "Whew! I guess we better watch ourselves or else we'll get caught. So, where will we be heading tonight?" She asks with a anxious smile.

 

[Grail378]

Grail grins. "I've had closer before, hmm I would say the willow but the moons too bright tonight so we would be seen. How about a tour of the school secrets?" He tickles a gargoyles chin then laughing it sinks into the floor revealing a passage behind it.

 

[Bachi234]

Elizabeth stands still, stunned by what had just happened. She then smiles and says, "Well, I guess you know exactly what you're doing and where you're going. You lead the way and I'll follow, oh master of secrets." She then extends her arm once again and waits for Grail to take the lead.
