 Melanie :)
The event taking place on Merlin's Pride had guaranteed one thing: the Beetle was empty. This seemed like the best place to have a small conversation that wasn't likely to be overheard by any nosy eavesdroppers. However, that didn't stop Duncan from checking each and every hallway he marched through. The labyrinthine hallways were proving to be useful, after all.
It wasn't until he was along the fourth hallway, round a corner and down another few conjoining hallways that he stopped and turned to Melanie. The spell Muffliato was nonverbally cast to shield them from any nosy students who happened to be nearby.
"So, it's arrived? The present?" The French slipped out almost automatically but this was a situation that called for it.
