"Well, last time I think I ventured somewhere I wasn't supposed to be," she said, kind of embarrassed but also thick-skinned enough to admit it. "I was honestly just checking out the barrels on the Kitchen Level Corridor, and I got sprayed with vinegar." RUDE. Kate kind of understood the whole protective barrier thing, though. "As far as this level, I was wondering if we might get to see your office?" Better yet, Kate wanted to emerge in grand-entrance style just like the Headmistress did.

And staying away from any group with Professors Airey and Quigley. Just in case. "Professor Quigley went cat and jumped on Professor Flamsteed's shoulder to avoid the water and Professor Flamsteed flipped out and ended up falling into it and splashing everyone." She really rather would've been sprayed by vinegar than swamp water.
Also, a camera might prove useful, just in case something like that happened again.

"My office," the Headmistress replied to Kate, stroking her chin as though she needed to decide on this. "Well," the redhead glanced over her shoulder at the still-parted guardian gargoyles, "it looks like there's a way up. And where there's a will, there's a way. So.... everyone to my office! It's a place to explore and map, and hopefully most of you have not been up there before."
Once they were up there, she could split them up into smaller groups to do the rest of this floor. "Everybody up, let's go." Annie whirled on her heel and led the charge back past the stone gargoyles and onto her revolving, spiral escalator.
"
Greetings, Miss Addison!" Tiara thought it was good to see the first year here. After all, what better way could there be for new students to learn their way around the castle? "
Sprayed with.. vinegar?" Where were th-- oh yes, kitchen level. Barrels. One of her friends had actually had a run-in with those during her time here as a student. "
Yes, let's try to avoid that today, shall we?"
As for the girl's answer to the Headmistress, Tiara was actually a bit intrigued. She wasn't quite sure how Anastasia would respond to that. Students were invited to the office for disciplinary reasons, certainly, but did their dear Head let students in otherwise? But this train of thought was interrupted by what the Gryffindor,
Heather, was saying about Flamsteed and Quigley. How had she missed hearing about that?!?! Seriously?? Oh, that would have made for quite a good laugh, too! The professor barely contained a chuckle, but said, "
Good news! No swamps up here. I think you'll stay dry." Again, she held back a giggle.
And now it was up to the Head's office, so that answered the question she'd had earlier. Tiara found herself close to the stairs and therefore was in the front of the pack. "
Here we go!"
