With that thought, Dallin mentally told himself to be quieter. So he sneaked behind Ivory, stopping only when she did. At her question he took a big whiff of air. His nose wrinkled. "Ew." That kind of summed it up. It was like... burnt. Frowning, he went closer to the pear painting. Then he saw the note. "Ivory," he said quietly, "Look at this!" Ew was right. The acrid smell wafting from the direction of the pear painting was...intriguing to say the least. A smell that made her wonder what breakfast would be like in the morning.
Resisting the urge to hold her nose with her fingertips, Ivory stepped forward to examine the front of the painting. A note? "No students?" she read aloud her voice incredulous. "What in the world?" Sharing her look of disbelief with Dallin, the prefect crossed her arms. "This just gets stranger and stranger. Now we'll never know if they're okay or in the midst of punishing themselves." With a small growl of frustration, she tried to think of what to do next. Counting off possible ideas with her fingers, she went over their options. "We could stake out the entrance and see what happens...or perhaps go question Tate and see what he knows about this....or maybe even," Her face turned into a grimace as she mentioned her next idea. "Well, this might sound weird, but we could make a mess...a slight mess in the common room and hide. Wait at night to see when the house elves show up and maybe...question them?" Saying it aloud, sounded a lot different than in her head.
