It was actually before his time too, so he only knew what was written about it. And even if they hadn't gone to school here at that time, they might know something related to it anyway.

Well... good was more of a relative term here and he hesitated before he answered. "The tapestry wasn't sentient, so it was neither good nor bad, just doing what it was tasked to do." He tried to think of another example he could use. "Are you familiar with Harry Potter's time at Hogwarts?" Many people knew the story fairly well. "When he went to look for the Philosopher's Stone, there were many challenges put in front of it to keep people away and act as a guard. The tapestry was doing the same for the Book of Mysteria."

And speaking of that book, he should probably explain about it since it seemed that Kitty didn't know much about it. "The Book of Mysteria is an extremely powerful book and a dark wizard named Voltemortist was trying to get it for himself. He imperiused and killed several people in the process." Hopefully that didn't frighten her or anything but it was a part of history and he didn't want to omit it. "I'm not completely sure why that room was closed off afterwards," he shrugged. Maybe it wasn't that important once the book was moved. "No, I don't think so..." He knew a lot of the secret passages when he was a student here and from what he remembered, they weren't connected.
Kitty nodded when he asked her if she read about Harry Potter. "I've read all of Harry's adventures. So the Tapestry was kind of like the challenges that were protecting the stone." Kitty got it now. "The charm was probably taken off the Tapestry when the Book was removed because I've touched the Tapestry many times - gently of course, and I never froze."

"Voltemortist sounds like Voldemort. Was he a Death Eater who decided to become the next Voldemort?" And Kitty had one more question for the moment that she could think of. "And was the Book ever destroyed?"
