They're all harmless of course, and as the castle tends to do, its sort of embraced them and put its own spin on things. I think its been a while since the corridors have been charmed in such ways. It used to be more common, as a security measure, and a teaching tool, and in some cases in order to prevent use of certain areas. So I have a question for you in return. Do you know what a ward is?"
Arya listened too and tried to picture it, the castle full of corridors similar to this new one, and the mental images alone were distracting. She would never make it to a lesson if even a few others were charmed in such fascinating ways. Nodding her head at the question thrown back at her, she shifted in her seat.
"It's a form of protection. There a few magical ones placed on the castle."
