A black cat came bounding down the hallway as it was roaming around the school. When it reached the suit of armor, thinking it wasn't real, the cat rubbed between it legs trying to hide as best as possible from it's owner who was chasing after it.
"Xander! Come back here maintenant!" Gregoire said as he came running down the hallway after his dreaded cat that had somehow gotten out of it's bag back in the common room, and made it all the way up here. If his shouting wasn't obvious, his loud footsteps were. This was a big deal to him. If he lost his cat, that would basically be like losing a family member. This cat meant the world to him! After days of searching, he had finally found him, but Xander just kept on running. Thankfully he noticed the cat stopped...right in between a suit of armor that was...
O-O
Off of it's pedestal!? What was with it and this school! Was everything alive here? There was a nearly ballistic- on second thought- TOTALLY ballistic tree outside in the grounds of the school! The portraits could talk and walk into the other portraits around it! Now there was an animated suit of armor!? That's when he noticed there was a first year, and what seemed to be someone not to older than him, maybe a fifth year, there as well. This could then just be a pair of practical jokesters messing with the suits of armor, or messing with transfiguration magic. Though...that would be something, most likely even seventh years would have trouble with, let alone a single first and possible fifth year.
Coming to a halt at the statue and the two people Gregoire stated in an authoritive tone "What is le sens de cette?" Flicking his wrist he corrected himself. "I meant to say what is the meaning of this?" With a very heavy French accent. A dead give away that he was from the City of Lights, not love, Paris! The accent wasn't like a Canadian or New Orleans type of accent. It was as if he came straight from the city where romance basically started. The sights and sounds of the city were adored by tourists coming from all around the globe! It was quite a remarkable place! Thinking about it brought back so many memories! Like the time him and Giovanni went down the River Sienne. How they explored the bell towers of Notre Dame. When they went biking underneath the Arc de Triumphe. Visited the real Mona Lisa in The Louvre! Even dared the dark, deep, and dank depths of the catacombs underneath the very streets of Paris! Ahhh. Those were good times.
