And even though it probably was her own fault that she was hopelessly lost, she wasn't owning up to that either. There was probably a flaw in the system somewhere before her. Maybe it was the founders' faults for making the school so big. Or maybe it was the headmistress' fault for not handing out maps to the tiny first years to help navigate through the huge school. Yep, definitely not her fault.
Somewhere (hopefully close to her common room) Hayden stumbled across a wall lined with portraits. They looked nice? (Hopefully) Maybe one of them could help point her in the right direction? (Hopefully)
"Um...excuse me." Her voice came out tentative, but she cleared her throat and tried again because only the few portraits closest to her would have been able to hear, and her results would be more accurate if she had a larger sample. "Will anyone tell me where I am? And, um, how to get to my common room." Hopefully someone had heard her. If not a portrait, at least an older student walking by who would be willing to help her out of her current predicament. (Hopefully) Leah turned around a corner and stopped dead. Apparently she had walked the wrong way, because she was supposed to be heading down towards her common room. She wandered around with her eyes half-closed nowadays anyway, it was no surprise she landed up in the completely wrong place.
The second year was about to stroll out when she heard a voice. She turned and saw a younger girl, probably a first year, talking to her... no the portraits. She would have thought that peculiar if there were no talking boring portraits all around them. Leah thought that not many of them would be able to tell the girl how to get to the common room, and approached her.
"Hello there, you a Hufflepuff?" she asked, spotting the yellow and black uniform. "My name is Leah, second year, and I was on my way back to the common room, would you like me to escort you?" she smiled at the girl. |
