But then he heard the Goblin say the Portrait will be fine. But why was she taking it in the first place?
"It's my job," Tumplin answered yet another nosy child. You know, they really were hindering her job here.

She was their captain, and was also related to Clark, from the Board.

Yes, Erik knew things. He did not yet know why the goblin was removing the portraits, however, as it was refusing to answer any questions.

"Pardon me," he said smoothly, taking a step closer to the creature and away from the red-faced little girls, "but vot exactly is your job? You are removing vhe portraits...for vot reason?"

Couldn't the goblin at least stifle them before she tossed them into her carpet bag? They were rather noisy, you know.
She sighed. They finally hit the question in a way where she had to tell them. "I'm from Gringotts. We were sent to take back a few items Hogwarts doesn't rightfully own." Was that good enough for him? For all of them?

"Now if you'll excuse me..." Tumplin was only doing her job, see? And they were making it rather difficult. There were many more portraits to collect. Did they see all the portraits?

Mehhh. Whatever.

Probably not important.


Turning back to Jory, the seventh year wanted to add something, but then she heard the portraits say something. She then eyed the people who had just appeared. Other students... A Professor...

And a goblin.

Just... what was going on?

Where did the goblin intend to take the portraits? And more importantly WHY?! ‘You can’t just take the portraits’ Weren’t those the school’s property?
"Actually, Miss, I can. Excuse me." She hurried her pace, treating the portraits less kindly and simply snatching them off the wall and dropping them into her bag. She just wanted to get it over with, get out of here, and stop being interrogated.
