Oh?
We can't deny that's actually clever, "That wouldn't really solve the issue, would it? I'd rather have a more permanent solution." Considering one of the portraits inhabitants was threatening to take this to the Headmistress if harm was done to it. Jon was doing no harm at all, how dramatic this portrait was. "Have you ever tried to silence them?" Again, not entirely permanent, since all spells wear off, but it was a bit more permanent than tilting their frame.
"Jon, is it?" His name. It is Jon, right? She tilted her head to one side awaiting confirmation.
Jun shook his head.
"Sadly it won't. Taking them off the walls would just get us expelled and such," Because Truebridge was a crazy one. He had heard she was a bit crazy while teaching herbology too. In her younger years. Those are long passed her now. Tried silencing them? Maybe.
"Tried, but the silencing charm is tricky if it isn't on people or creatures. So walking by them fast helps a smidge," Because in his opinion, he'd try setting them on fire and cramp into another portrait.
Jon? With an O? Like the English version 'John'?
Uh, no.
"Jun, like the month," Without the E, because some Asian names were just strange.
"You're Lotus, right? Or preferably Lottie?"
