Gwen eyed the portraits curiously for a moment, but frowned as she heard one of them talk. Hmph. That mocking tone made her dislike the portraits even more. This one, at least. The fifth year was drawing her attention back to Alexa, willing to say something, but another person caught her eye. Who was that? Another girl was walking towards the place where the two of them were standing. ‘Hello’, she greeted the other student, but she had no idea who that was. Hmm. She did look familiar, though.
After a moment, the fifteen-year-old looked at Alexa. The reaction of the firstie made her smirk. Hehe. The facial expression of the kid was simply… priceless. And she seemed very enthusiastic. Even though the Gryffindor was becoming rather hyperactive, Gwendolyn didn’t mind.

But back to Glanmore now.

‘Fine, Captain’, she said simply. ‘I’ll help you look for the serpent as well’ There. Gwen didn’t really know why she accepted but mehh. Just as she was examining one of the other portraits, the Ravenclaw heard Captain Glanmore say something. The serpent AND the boat were gone? See. So it couldn’t have been them. They had been standing right in front of him the whole time. At least he couldn’t accuse them of stealing the boat.
