It bothered Alice that so many other people were here. Why WERE they here? Clutching tightly to the first clue from the trophy room, she gravitated to her other Gryffindors. Lex had one clue and Melanie had the other, right? "Why are there others here?" She glanced around in confusion, her eyes flicked to each face before landing on her lions again. "OUR clue lead to here. Maybe they're all lost." They could help point them in the right direction, maybe, but it was the GRYFFINDORS who were supposed to be there.

Right?

".. what if they took our next clue?" THOSE THIEVING SLYTHERINS. Hadn't it been a Slytherin that stole Selina's bat? Or the Hufflepuffs! It was THEM. "Why are you all here?" There were Puffers and Slytherins.. even a handful of Ravenclaws. She didn't know WHY, though.
