After the Sorting Ceremony and the house meeting at Hufflepuff’s common room, Heliana Le Fey was in the right mood to explore the school, her new home for most part of the next seven years. Lena’s countless stories and book references weren’t doing justice to the castle’s magnificence. One had to walk its maze-like corridors and feel its ambiance.

Oblivious to the curfew that soon was going to be in place, she thought that telling her sister to join her was futile, while she could imagine her dressed already in pajamas, snuggling into bed with a book. Nevertheless, she decided to use the Grand Staircase and climb all the way to the towers, where she was informed that her sister’s house common room was located somewhere up there. At the same time, she considered this endeavor an opportunity to get to know her whereabouts and find out where exactly were going to take place her futures classes.

She left Hufflepuff's common room equipped with her wand that she didn’t know yet how to use but made her feel more confident. Her departure had roused her one-eyed cat’s curiosity. Teuta sneaked out of the common room in hot pursuit of the blond girl and the two of them left for the Grand Staircase.

She had no idea for how long she was staring overhead jaw-dropped but she snapped out of it when Teuta’s meowed at her foot. Stairs were moving in unpredictable manner, connecting and disconnecting floors and corridors. “Amazing!” She breathed in an attempt to discern the last floor from down where she was standing. “Come on Teuta.” She prompted her cat with a whisper and she started climbing the stairs.

A few minutes later she was completely lost. The constant changing stairs had taken her to a dark corridor with large windows that were expanding from floor to ceiling, letting the moonlight shed window-shaped, silver spotlights. Heliana realized that her cat was no longer by her side and she had to venture now on her own. Having no other choice, she proceeded to find again her way back to the Grand Staircase, floundering in the dark.
 
Jasper was on his way back to the common room- he had spent most of the day in the library, studying. He wanted to be at the top of his class, be the best first year in the school. That was going to take work and time. He was stubborn enough to get what he wanted, and he wanted this. He yawned as he trudged up the stairs. He also needed to make friends. It seemed he had overestimated his sister and his cousins- none of them had made enough of an impression on anyone in the school for him to be recognized as just another Michaels gemstone. Not that it didn't bother him anymore, because it still irritated him to no end. It just gave him more time to make himself the Michaels that everyone did notice.

His thoughts were interrupted, however, by a cat mewling at him. He furrowed his brow and looked at it. The cat seemed to want something. It started to slink off into the darkness. Jasper rolled his eyes and took off after it. As he stepped into the darkness, he pulled out his wand. "Lumos." He murmured, grinning widely when his wand lit up. The cat seemed to be waiting for him, and the two began to set off down the hall. Where the thing was going, he didn't know.
