He took a quick sip of his ho chocolate as he scanned the room. There she was! “Excuse me, Professor. Could Mr Edgar’s portrait h ere go back to being hung on the sixth floor corridor? He doesn’t like being in storage.’’ Who would be?

Ah. Enemies. Adi couldn’t imagine having those. He could deal with persons disliking or hating him but having enemies? There was enough violence and revenge seeking in the world as it is. “That’s bad about the students ripping at your portrait but something good did come out of having enemies since you were able to invent the sneakoscope.” This boy and finding the bright side of dull situations… he supposed it was a good trait of his. “If you get hung somewhere around the school, I’ll come visit you and you can tell me more about your life.’’ Adi was very sure this meeting would be ending soon.

Feeling mighty pleased he had been able to hit the nail on the head in terms of speculating on Edgar’s life, Adi added, “It’s safe to say that there’s another reason why you look at us suspiciously. It’s because of what those past students did to your portrait.’’ So, technically it was his foes during his actual life and the treatment he received by students here as a portrait that made Edgar so suspicious.

He was asking the professor to leave Edgar up. This one was someone he could trust. He was finding that out quickly. Relaxing in his portrait a bit more, he gave the boy a smile. "Thank you." Getting out of storage would be nice. "Yes, but kids will be kids and they wanted to sneak out more then they cared about my portrait." He was all fixed up and the professor even cleaned his frame, so it was fine now. Now the boy was saying he'd come visit, well that was very nice. "My inventions were a great success, so I would say it was a good thing." He was proud of all his inventions even if some didn't get a good name like others.

What's your favorite charm that you learned back in school?" The second year agreed flipping the pages of the book she had opened in her hands. Eyes going from Greta to the page as she searched for the proper eye color written in the book. Blue eyes. Hady had realized that in her moment of assessment of the portrait while she was talking to her.

According to the book blue eyed people tended to be generous, loyal, gentle, forgiving and several other traits. It seemed like it could be right...the brunette lifted her eyes from the book to look towards Greta once more. Gryffindor huh? They were usually very loyal people. "My best friend is in Gryffindor", she replied grinning for a moment.

Not sure what to really ask she focused on Greta's eyes like she was supposed to. They were bright and shinny speaking of happiness or at least that's what Hady got out of it. It seemed right really as Greta was very talkative, happy and excited which made this a lot easier.

She was listening and excited that the girl would go take out her book and read it. "All charms are fun, but my favorite has to be charming brooms to sweep for you. I always hated to clean." Watching as she flipped through her book, Greta wondered what she was finding, "Well I think Slytherin and Gryffindor complement each other well." She had arguments with classmates over this back in her time, but she still stood by that.

Quickly she glanced at the page in her book that dealt with eye colours. "The book says that this means 'forthrightness, gentleness, generosity, loyalty, modesty, and forgiveness'." She wondered if this was true for Greta but she would wait a little longer and see for sure.

Wanting to keep the conversation going, Lux decided to ask a few questions. "What House were you in when you went to Hogwarts? And what was your best subject?" It was interesting talking to portraits and she wanted to learn a lot about them.

She watched the girl eagerly, this was fun! "Oh you are fine, I know what your trying to do. Your professor told us ahead of time." The SNACinators is what the professor called them, which was really interesting. Listening to what Lux had to say she thought a moment, "Well those are very nice things. I would hope that I could be all of them." Or that her actual self was those at one point. "I was a Gryffindor." Seeing her robes she knew Lux was a Hufflepuff, it was fun to meet all the house students.

Wanted to make it an easy job for her, seeing as she was taking an interest.

Divination was strange in that it always gave Toby that weird spine-tingling feeling. He didn't know if it was because of the attention he was given when someone did a reading for him, or because it could be so accurate it was sort of weird (good weird). Either way, it was happening now. He nodded at the portrait, his own eyes wide. Loyal, yeah? That was good. He prided himself on being loyal. Hardships was about right too.

"Yeah..." Toby replied, almost absentmindedly as he thought about it. "... Yeah." Yeah.

Wait. Waaiiiit. He needed to do the reading too, awesome though it was to have the portrait read HIS eyes. But this way it sort of worked as a trade-off.

"And you," he piped up suddenly, stepping just that bit closer to the portrait and peering up at the woman, then at his book, then back again a few times. "Your eyes are saying that..." Uhhh... "That you're truthful, 'cause of the brown. But they're also kinda hazel, which means you're sincere... which both go together pretty well. And you're intelligent too, I can tell-" mainly because of the conclusions about Toby she'd come to "-and friendly too." Based on the evidence.

Whether any of this registered to the woman, Toby didn't know. But Professor Morgan might have heard him, at least. And it was good to have the practice, even if no-onehad heard. He would have liked to go into more detail about the eyes, like... the size. But the woman in the portrait wore glasses that made her eyes look massive anyway (which was how he could see them so well), so he couldn't be certain.

Sybill watched the boy some more. Her round glasses slipped to the edge of her nose again. He seemed distracted by what she said, "Did I say something wrong my boy?" She didn't think she did, but maybe something about it upset him. Then he started on her eyes, listening her smile growing hearing his words. "Very good, I think you have the gift. YOu have the talent that will get you very far in divination." She was truly sure wit this one.

Portraits Always the Tone of Surprise Streeler Join Date: Aug 2012 Posts: 248	Tell Them I'm Trapped in an Oil Painting Quote: Originally Posted by FearlessLeader19 SPOILER!!: Edgar! ^_^ "I am out now and I'm hoping your professor will find a nice place for me, maybe the sixth floor again. I so enjoyed that corridor." He just wanted to be hung again to watch the students. It was always quiet fun. Listening as he spoke, even Edgar as suspicious of this subject as he was couldn't look over the fact the boy had just described him pretty well. "I have had enemies in my past Mr. Adi, so it was very important to invent my sneakoscope against them, plus the students all they ever wanted was the passageway and they were never afraid to rip my portrait to get to it." Though doing that made it impossible to open the secret passage. "But all in all I'd say you nailed it pretty good." Good job fellow Hufflepuff on knowing who he was based on an eye color. “I’ll ask her also,’’ Adi told Edgar cheerfully. Professor Cassie was nice and he knew she would do the best she could. Speaking of the woman, where was she? He took a quick sip of his ho chocolate as he scanned the room. There she was! “Excuse me, Professor.
