It seemed like his little stop caused him to lose Destiny. He walked in the direction where he last heard her loud footsteps and heavy breathing. Soon he arrived at the humpback statue.
She wouldn't be hiding here, would she? This was an actual hiding spot. She had to be somewhere else...
Like behind a tapestry with her feet completely visible at the bottom.
But then....
He smelled chocolate!
That had to be Destiny. Who else would have chocolate by a statue?
"I can smell you." he announced. Which, admittedly, was a bit creepy.
With the chocolate frog unwrapped, Destiny was just about to shove it into her mouth when she heard the voice of Carter. What the!? She thought it was a GREAT hiding spot, and she never thought he would find her. And so quickly! How in the name of Merlin did he smell her?
It was kind of creepy.
Shoving the frog into her mouth, and swallowing quickly, she pressed herself even closer to the statue. What was it a statue of anyway? She didn't know, but as long as the Gryffindor didn't move closer, she would stay hidden. And if he did move closer, she would just stick her foot out and trip him. That would give her time to run, most likely, up to the fourth floor.
Clearing her throat, she deepened her voice.
"I'm a statue. I don't smell." Just like statues don't talk..
