Portrait Hunting

[Aeon Summers]

Aeon stepped out from the Gryffindor Common Room and made his way down to the Seventh Floor Corridor. His hair was messy as usual and his puffskeins bounded behind him happily humming to themselves.

It was late and there was hardly anyone in the corridors except the few odd people standing around. Aeon shoved his hand into his pockets and leaned back on the wall, covering a portrait who started cursing loudly. "Shut up!" Aeon snapped, turning to face the portrait. He was sick of the way they acted, Rude things they were.

Aeon remembered helping his friends scrub paint from this floor and the portraits yelling at them, Then realized he hadn't spoken to any of them since, Except for Tala who was his roomie so he saw him every night, But Tala was asleep by the time he got there. Aeon loved wandering around during the night.

 

[Vivienne Esquire]

Vivienne was on her way down from the owlery when she heard yelling down the other end of the corridor. It was getting dark, and she didn't know if they were dangerous or not, but her curiousity got the better of her. As she walked towards the noise, she recognised one of the voices. It was her friend, Aeon.

"Aeon? What are you doing? Lumos," she said firmly. With the light from her wand, she could see that Aeon was having an argument with a portrait.

 

[Arisa Havishmen]

Arisa decided to go for a walk with Glitter. For some reason she went to the 7th floor. Once she was up there she saw Viv and Aeon she decided to wait in the shadows for something to happen.

(( hehe i is spying on you guys ))

 

[Aeon Summers]

"Oh, Hi Viv, Just yelling at a portrait, You?" Aeon replied, forcing himself the smile and trying to ignore the cursing from the portraits. Suddenly Deo and Canice started jumping around like crazy and bouncing towards where Arisa was hiding. "What's up guys? What's wrong?" Aeon asked, he felt a bit worried, He didn't know they could sense Glitter there.

 

[Arisa Havishmen]

Arisa stuffed glitter in her pocket when the two little fluff balls came up. She gave a treat to all three of the puffskeins hoping to shut them up.

 

[Aeon Summers]

Aeon looked over to the spot where the puffskeins were, He could hear them munching on something and let out a sigh. "Probably just hunting spiders." He muttered to himself, Hearing another swear from the portrait. "Oh my god! I'm sick of these things!" Aeon shouted, removing the large portrait from the wall and throwing it to the floor, muffling the shouts from the painted figures. Aeon clapped his hand and looked back at the wall to see a huge hole in the wall, It seemed to lead to a few places. "Woah.." He mumbled, peering into the passage.

 

[Vivienne Esquire]

Vivienne spun around when she heard a noise coming from the directions of the puffskeins. "Yeah.. spiders," she laughed nervously. She felt like they were being watched, but didn't want to tell Aeon.

As he threw a portrait to the ground, Vivienne gasped. There were several passages twisting in different directions. "Wow, Aeon! What is this? Woah that is cool. We've gotta try these out! Which one do you want to go in first?!" she rambled. "Oh wait, I'm a goody-good. I shouldn't be saying this!"

 

[Aeon Summers]

Aeon had his mouth open in shock, He didn't known what to say. Eventually he found his speech again. "The..The first one." He said slowly, beginning to crawl into the hole. He could hear his puffskeins bouncing back and felt them jump on him.
"Come on." He said, crawling into the nearest passage.

 

[Vivienne Esquire]

"The first one, right. Wow this looks so cool!" Vivienne laughed, for once she was acting braver than a Gryffindor. She bent down and crawled in after him, pleased that she wasn't wearing her good clothes today.

 

[Arisa Havishmen]

Arisa watched them crawl into the hole in the wall. She decided to walk over and look in. Once they were both a little ways in she decided to follow them.

 

[Taylor Marino]

Taylor was spending another night studying, she couldn't get to sleep. Studying didn't sound good right now. Tay wasn't the slightest bit tired, and she was bored. Very bored, and very alert. And she knew students shouldn't be ouside their common rooms.
And so, she was a little surprised when she saw a blonde boy leaving the common room.

Taylor, being a curious type of person, set off after him. Then she noticed her shoelace was untied. As a general rule, she never wore shoes with laces, as she had never learnt how to tie them up. She went back into the common room, and got a pair of velcro snearers instead.

She didn't know which way the boy had gone, but saw him and another girl, looking at something in the wall. She waited, and Taylor Marino saw them climb into the hole. Another girl followed them, she hadn't seen this third girl before. Tay wasn't the sort to be left out, so she crawled in after them. "What are you lot doing?" she asked quietly, knowing full well people were not supposed to be in the walls.

 

[Aeon Summers]

Aeon turned his head when he heard an unknown voice from behind. He saw Arisa there and another girl a short way behind her. "What are you doing Arisa? And who are you?" He said to Arisa and the other girl. "I thought I could feel someone watching us.."

 

[Arisa Havishmen]

Arisa smiled shyly "spying" Arisa said simply.

 

[Taylor Marino]

Taylor Marino made a mental note to remember Arisa's name. She looked at the boy, and raised an eyebrow. "Tay." she said, not bothering with her usual introduction, involving stuff about 'the annoying Marino twin' and such. "What are you lot doing in here?" she asked again.

 

[Vivienne Esquire]

Vivienne jumped when she heard a voice behind her. Please don't be a Professor, please don't be a Professor, she chanted in her head. She turned around slowly to see Arisa a few steps behind them, with another girl a bit after her.

"Arisa! I knew someone was spying," she laughed, poking out her tongue. "Umm.. who's your friend?" she asked, indicating to the girl behind her. She would have smiled, but for all she knew this girl had been following them too.

 

[Aeon Summers]

Aeon thought it was best to ignore them and continue on, They'd make too much noise and he didn't want to get into trouble. After crawling away, Aeon came to the back of another portrait and pushed it aside to see himself in another corridor.
"Oh, Wow." He said, crawling back and putting the portrait into place. "Guys! These lead to different parts of the school!" He called back

 

[Vivienne Esquire]

Vivienne crawled up to where Aeon was, and peered out into the corridor. "Woah! Now that is cool. What corridor is this?" she wondered, thinking if these would be good for getting to classes quicker. "Should we go back and try some of the other passages? They might take us to secret rooms!"

 

[Aeon Summers]

"It looks like the Sixth Floor Corridor" Aeon said crawling into another passage and trying to find another portrait. "We can use these as shortcuts." He continued, smiling happily

 

[Arisa Havishmen]

Arisa smiled "Im fine with that less stairs to climb to astronomy" Arisa said with a laugh

 

[Taylor Marino]

Taylor Marino followed the others, glad she was at the back, She hated being in the middle. Tay wondered where she was, she had always been rather bad at directons.

(I have to go now, feel free to god-modd Tay following you lot )

 

[Sern Summers]

Sern was awake, as usual, and walking through the school. He walked with long silent stride down along until he reached the 7th corridor. He made his way down along before he heard noises further ahead. He moved more slowly as he moved. He saw a hole in the wall and raised his eyebrow. The noise was coming from inside.

He made his way in to find a group of students. Sern stopped just behind them and said, "Is it just me or does this group seem to get into the most mischief?"

 

[Aeon Summers]

Aeon turned in surprise to see Sern behind them. "What are you doing in here?" He asked, knowing that they might not be allowed here also.

 

[Vivienne Esquire]

- IGNORE -

 

[Sern Summers]

"Brother... Im making sure you don't do something utterly stupid, as per usual" Sern said this in a serious voice though a smile started to spread across his face.

 

[Arisa Havishmen]

"Hey Sern" Arisa said looking at Sern smile. She hardly ever saw that. "Were not getting into trouble, were exploring"
