Natalia just couldn't stop being amused by the boy's reaction. He still believed that they had to study seven hours a day? Alright, Natalia was perfectly fine with that. Not her problem!

"Come on you're no fun!" Natalia shook her head at the boy who merely claimed that he would pretend to not have heard Natalia's comment. "You're a third year right?" She remembered the information from the boy's earlier monologue to his pet rock. "I'm a fourth year-" *BEAM* Haha, older than you! "-now, I know I haven't been at Hogwarts as long as you might have..." Since Natalia only transferred to this school the beginning of the semester. "...but have some respect for your seniors, will you?" Older than you.

Natalia had almost forgotten that the Head of House normally taught classes too. Defense Against the Dark Arts! That must have been exciting!

"What was Hogwarts like when you were teaching??" The fourth year Lioness was undoubtedly curious of everything. She leaned forward in her chair, anticipating every word from Ms. Portrait Valeria.

WAIT WHAT. A SECRET PASSAGE WAY?!

That must have meant, Valeria liked her joke!

Natalia shot a victorious glance over at the other boy. She would very much liked to have stuck her tongue out at him if Valeria wasn't watching.

When the Lioness was about to say the password, the boy beat her to it.

"GRRRR." She cast a murderous glance.
