"I know it sounds crazy." Simon had never had a stair move on him yet, but these had seriously done it. "But I was heading off towards the common room, when suddenly they moved." He stopped to get his breath back before adding. "Seriously, I'm not making it up."

The stairs. They move.

Tenacius looked intently at the young Gryffindor, waiting for him to add more to his description.... and that was pretty much it. It moves. And the Firstie was scared witless. Well at least the stairs didnt turn into a slide and harmed this young one ~~it just harms older ones yarrr~~

"Right... yes I totally believe you're not making it up." the Prefect nodded and placed a reassuring hand on the boy's shoulder... or maybe it was more of an arm-hug, because he's not that much taller anyway. "The main staircase here in Hogwarts..... its normal for them to move...." he broke the news gently "....think of it as an escalator-- except the whole thing moves and not the steps."

"Which in itself presents an extra challenge-- they pivot between floors, between other staircases, so you've really gotta observe and time it." Pause "Also sometimes it likes to mess with ya.... like if you're running a little late, it would suddenly move away. Or just stop mid swing. Or connect to another staircase instead of a floor. Or just stop on a blank wall." he added, a teasing grin started to tug at his lips. "So yeah... good luck with that Simon!" Pat pat griiiiiiin.
