He wondered what he would have to do to get Peeves to shove a sock in her mouth.

Of course, he would have continued to IGNORE the girls if he hadn't noticed TWO MORE in HIS corridor and he quickly dropped his hands when he noticed the badges the girl's were wearing. Glanmore fixed his hat, straightened out his jacket and bent over to pick up his sword. If he was going to explain, he needed to point! "PERFECTS!" he stood, still too ANGRY to know the difference!

"THOSE THREE!" he was jabbing his sword in the direction of the Gryffindor without the badge and the two Ravenclaws. Kendall Lily Quinn received MORE jabs in her direction. HE WAS EXPLAINING! "Not only did they STEAL my SERPENT, they STOLE my BOAT! Right from my PORTRAIT!"

HIS portrait!

HIS portrait.

HIS portrait...

Glanmore lowered his hands when realization struck him. "This isn't my portrait!"

Who knew portraits could be such a good thing?

When the portrait finally seemed to calm down a bit she opted to continue offering her help when that annoying Slytherin Prefect from the feast (yes, anyone who yelled was considered annoying which made her annoying) and Kurumi, who was a bit annoying at times but wasn't so bad, walked over to the portrait as well. She decided to ignore the fact that they were there.

The 11 year old gave Kendall a look when she tried reasoning nicely with the portrait. Honestly she thought they were long pass that! He was being rude and calling them thieves!!

She shot the thing a glare when it started talking loudly and making noises but the glare disappeared and she snickered in amusement as it tried telling the prefects. Hah! One, they didn't steal anything and two, Lex didn't care what Prefects said so telling would have done him no good. This was actually quite funny--

"Whaaaaaat?!" Lex screamed when the portrait made the realization that the portrait it was in didn't belong to it. She felt her fingers twitch and a strong desire to smash the frame with him still in it. "So you mean you nearly sent us on a wild goose chase and you called us thieves for nothing?!" No! That was too much! She jumped forward and grabbed both ends of the portrait in and attempt to yank it off the wall. "When I get my hands on you you're gonna be with the other big portraits in the sky!"

Why wasn't this thing coming off the wall?!?!?

Stole something? Out of a portrait?

So what was the problem anyway? It was a portrait. Couldn't they just ignore it and move on? Sure, that was a little hard to do with the way the portrait was yelling so loudly, but hey, it could be done.

Nevertheless, Sierra found herself nodding in understanding then turning back to the portrait.

"Perfects?" Sierra asked, and a big smirk spread across her face. Of course they were perfect, well, she was, but still... Prefects, he meant.She looked from the portrait to the three supposed thieves then asked, "So did you see them take it?" she asked.

"...and wouldn't the serpent and boat still be here, in this corridor, if they had it?" she asked. Neither one of them looked capable of making a whole boat disappear...

...and then in the next second alone, recognition was dawning on him, causing Sierra to roll her eyes in disbelief. She glanced over at the Gryffindor girl who was spazzing over the latest. Again, it would be all too easy just to ignore the portrait.


It seemed like the longer they stood there dealing with Captain Glanmore Peaks and his missing ship, along with the serpent that she was pretty sure wasn't actually his, the more Kendall was just becoming convinced this was going to turn out completely stupidly. Especially since the errant and delusional captain still thought that there was some way they could have stolen said items. The serpent might be kinda cool, but the only way they could use the ship was on the lake, and she wasn't entirely certain that the ship would even be able to be used outside of said painting. She hadn't missed the little Gryffie's look at her reasoning, or Sierra's nod at the explanation, but didn't particularly react to any of it. The very fact Captain Peaks had decided that she was the one that needed the most sword jabs as he'd explained his theory about the theft to the Slytherin prefect and apparently the Gryffindor one was more important, even though she had yet to really seem willing to come over. Still seemed like a good idea, but she'd gotten into this. She was not ending up with a detention for stealing things that weren't hers.

She'd had a thought, though, as the tattling had continued. Mostly because of the fact that if the captain was really missing his ship, he ought to be awfully wet. Definitely not standing there waving his ineffectual sword at them, and she'd opened her mouth to actually point that out at the same time as the shocking admission had spilled out and proven her point. "How 'bout you just admit that you were wrong, apologize to us for yelling and saying that we stole your things, Captain, and maybe our earlier offer for help will come back," she said, a bit irritatedly. She was tempted to just let him stay there in the wrong portrait, just to teach him a lesson. "Besides, the serpent's probably better off away from you," she added under her breath, before lunging forward as the Gryffie had completely spazzed out and was trying to yank the portrait off the wall. And she'd glanced over at Sierra, who didn't seem too worried about being a prefect, before trying to pry the younger girl's fingers off the frame. "Permanent Sticking Charm, prob'ly," she said with a sigh. "What portrait is this actually?" She didn't think every painting was stuck to the wall like this, after all. So whose home did Captain Temper Tantrum invade?
