Leah nodded encouragingly, she wanted Hayden to be enthusiastic. "Yeah, maybe they are asleep and don't want us to interrupt." She hated people waking her up, even for her own benefit. And she started to lead the way. The second year felt that she had to say something, just so that the walk back to the common room would not be awkward. Ah, Hayden had something to say!
Ooh, she needed a HUGE paper. Being a big girl, Leah probably needed a wise and reasonable answer, but... "No I'm sorry. I guess you could buy loads of parchments and stick them together with a charm..." she did not even know what the spell was! It was a suggestion, though. "Do you mind if I ask what it is for?" Leah could go ask for help if needed.
"Oh, I hadn't thought of that." Hayden glanced up at the portraits again to try and determine if Leah was right. She sure hoped she hadn't bothered them if they were asleep or doing something important. She would feel bad.
Hayden considered Leah's answer to her paper problem.
"That sounds like a good idea," she said thoughtfully.
"But I don't know many charms. Do you know one that could do that?" Leah was a whole year older than her, so she was probably much smarter and knew a lot more spells than Hayden did.
"I want to make a map," Hayden explained.
"A giant map, or maybe several small maps. Of Hogwarts. You know, so I don't get lost." Or for other people too, the map didn't have to be just for her. It might benefit other first years, or even older kids, as well.
