Tell Them I'm Trapped in an Oil Painting

"Thanks," he said, still smiling away. "And don't worry, you said nothing wrong. The opposite in fact." Yeah. She'd been quite correct. And... Merlin, what time was it now? Toby predicted (oh ho ho) that they'd been finishing up very soon. He addressed the portrait again. "Sorry, but... what's your name?" Whether or not he had the gift, this was something he was pretty sure he couldn't divine. Maybe once he knew it he'd go look her up in the library, just for something to do.
She was glad she didn't offend the boy, his eyes showed so many things, so many deep things. Sybill liked talking to this one. He was very interesting as well as kind. "Oh my dearest boy, I am being rude. My name is Sybill Trelawney. I was the divination professor here at Hogwarts for many years." Her time at Hogwarts was very important to her and this tower was just home even as just a portrait. Hearing the Professor she looked at the boy, was their time up already? It seemed to go way too quickly.

"So do I. I don't see why some think they shouldn't get along." Hady responded with a shrug. People should be able to be friends with whomever they choose. Glancing from the book to Greta again she smiled. "It says here in the book that people with blue eyes tend to have these traits... forthrightness, gentleness, generosity, loyalty, modesty, and forgiveness. What do you think about that?"

As Hady was talking she heard Professor Morgan announcing that the meeting was over. She smiled slightly closing her book but didn't leave from in front of the portrait yet. She was still interested in hearing what Greta had to say.
"It is! It's a wonderful charm. Especially when you had dorm mates that didn't like to clean." Her friends were wonderful, but they had been messy. It was a good charm to know. The professor saying the meeting was over, wasn't something Greta was ready for. She would be put back in the corridor she had left, but she liked having students talk to her. "Exactly! All houses can get along just fine if they want to." So Slytherin and Gryffindor were just as well being friends. "Those traits sound very nice to have. I think this stuff could be right." This stuff meaning the Divination subject. She liked it, but wasn't fully believing it either.

Hopefully you’ll get out of storage if not your old spot back.’’ It felt great to help someone today even if it was an occupant of a portrait. Also, Edgar seemed to be warming up to him. " You’re very welcome." But it was time to be going? Already? Time really did zoom by when you’re having fun. As for cookies and brownies, Adi thought he had enough. No need to go get all greedy. Hehe.

"It’s a great thing. Did you ever have any more ideas of stuff you wanted to invent? Or did you ever start working on inventions that you never got to complete?” The latter would be unfortunate but if Edgar had any other inventions even if they were not so popular, Adi would be all interested to hear about them.

And as for leaving since the meeting was over, he decided he would stick around just a little longer. Mr Edgar was so much interesting.
Wonderful, just wonderful. Edgar let a smile cross his portrait face. "Thank you Professor and thank you again Adi, this will be a great move to get out of that dusty closet." He really didn't like the dust. "I had many ideas, but many that failed." He scratched his head a moment, "There should be a journal of my plans and ideas floating around somewhere still. It would have been in my vault when I passed." Though he wasn't sure who would have ended up with it so many years later. "I tried to invent many magical security items for a home." He had his reason for doing such things, but he did succeed on a few.
