Mr Kitridge asked studying the students nearest to him. "I heard about the eviction from the comm room. The badgers are locked out too." Looking over at the snakes present he asked. "I persume you can't get into your dungeon common room either?"
Going up to inspect to inspect the Fat Lady's portrait he fired off a charming smile at the woman. "Good evening Mrs Fat Lady! Why are you not letting the tired lions into their common room?"
Oh, what was this? Actually,
who was this?
The Fat Lady lowered her arms from above her head and once again wiped the corner of her mouth with her hand, just in case she was drooling. Only this time it wouldn't have been because of sleep. And once she was satisfied that there was nothing wrong with her face, she put on a charming smile of her own for the librarian.
"Good evening to you!" She gave a wave of her hand towards the students around before speaking again.
"Why, Mister Kitridge! My lions know better than to say the password while snakes are around!" In case he didn't see them, she pointed at the two of them.

"You mean to tell me that you've been sleeping the whole time? Really?! Don't you know that my candy's stuck in there?!" YESSSS she was complaining mostly about her candy. Honestly, she had her wand and her kneazle, what more did she need? The books could stay in there for as loooong as they wanted and she didn't mind not being able to hand in her homework. The only thing that mattered was the sugary goodness behind the Portrait.
"Now that you're awake, can't you evict the candy too?" DETERMINED STARE.
And there was always one, wasn't there?
The Fat Lady rolled her eyes at the dramatic girl and decided not to grace her with an answer to her questions. It was obvious that she had been sleeping! She even stretched! But just in case that wasn't believable enough for everyone, she placed her hand over her mouth and yawned.
"I don't evict, I only emit." She yawned once more. This time out of boredom. All she wanted was gossip.

He shuffled a little closer to the Librarian. "Sooo...what? Something is evicting the students from their common rooms to steal their stuff?" That seemed a little drastic. Or unless whatever it was, was looking for something in particular. But then why would it bother stealing a fishing pole?
"What does the Fat Lady have to say about this?" She was the one who let them enter the room after all.
And she was sure the other portraits were going to be gossiping about her after today! Having
two men visiting her portrait at once? What was the special occasion?
The Fat Lady watched curiously as the two men spoke, leaning forward to hear what they were saying. And still, gossip that she didn't want to hear about. Thieves, ghosts! She continued to miss the entire point of students being evicted from their common rooms.
"Thieves, you say?! Don't let them take me!" She stood from her seat and cowardly hid behind her chair.
That was what she had to say.
