Charlie quickly made her way up the stairs. Or tried to. Halfway up a shuddering took place as the stairs started to move. "Oh come on! I'm already late." Charlie was irritated. And I mean irritated. She was so going to be late for her class. I'm going to lose so many points. She had been held back because of a portrait one floor down. She couldn't escape till now, the ranting portrait threatening her with going to her head of house with lies.

Shudder.

Charlie looked to the top of the stairs as she began to move up. Her foot stalled in the air. "Oh no."

The stair had stopped midway between platforms. Not only that, but the bottom half had begun to move as well. This had never happened that she was aware of.

Charlie was effectively stuck levitating three floors from the ground.

"Help," she squeaked.
