For Lottie <3 Yeahhh, Mr White! Yeah science! Y'know when you've consumed a whole bag full of candy floss and drunk a whole two litre bottle of full sugar Coca-cola? That buzz you get? The excitement that seems to swell from the pit of your stomach and spreads up to your eyeballs and gives everything a little bit of a haze? Well... that was the feeling Sam had as he took an unguided excursion through the castle. CASTLE. Like, a proper, full scale, not-even-a HINT-of-ruin-fairy-CASTLE. With bells and knobs on!
It was a marvel to behold. A beautiful piece of architecture outside and in.. And, living in a castle wasn't even the best part about being here. Nope. The best part about all this, was the magic part. UNBELIEVABLY, Samson T. Blake, an unremarkable boy from an unremarkable town up North, was a wizard.
Wizard Sammy was making his way slowly up to the seventh floor where he was going to attempt to visit his cousin in her common room when he'd finished his tour. The Snake one had a password to get in which seemed bizarre to Sam that the school would go to such an extent to keep the houses apart. Still, it added to the air of mystery of magical-Hogwarts..
His tour, however, came to a standstill on the fourth floor.. as did Sammy very suddenly as the staircase he'd just stepped onto decided to MOVE without warning under his feet. “Wooh! Woooooaaaah!”
Arms spinning in an attempt to keep his balance, he ran up a few steps so that he was in the middle and away from the edge. Face flushed, excited, nervous laughter erupted from his throat. He'd read about the moving stairs! Health and safety would have a field day in a state school with this!
His heart pounded as he clung onto the banister for dear life while hoping no one had seen that.
He finally let go and raised his camera to take a picture of the drop where he'd just been standing moments ago, deciding it was probably best not to show his mam this particular shot.
Now.. it'd be real neece if you stopped movin' soon, stairs..
