A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
Dorian ran behind Maddie and Trinetta to the location of the treasure. He still had no clue what the inferi had mean by treasure and the fact that these students knew what it was made him even more confused.
But he knew the moment they entered the room where the exhibit was held and he gapsed in understanding. The treasure was the coins they had found in a cave in the lake! A place the Ravenclaw had NOT been in to because he was one of the only ones who actually listened to the prefects when they said to stay away.
He was about to laugh that this hadn't been his fault when Maddie suddenly flew back. He looked at her with a worried expression but Nettie was already helping her up so he put his thoughts on how they could remove the protective charms.
As he thought, one of his hands went in to his robe pocket and he paced back and forth in the room. He was still holding on to his wand of course and his other hand in his pocket touched..... A coin...
Dorian froze for a split second, barely even noticable if one hadn't been paying attention to him. He had kept one of the coins he had found near the entrance gate. He thought that he could have exchanged it in to real money at Gringrotts but the guilt had been too strong after a while that he had went and find a staff member to give it to.
Sadly, he had chosen today to do this and naturally he wasn't able to because...well, inferi were kinda attacking them all..
Dorian bit his lower lip as he thought. Maybe he could throw the coin on the treasure the moment Professor Kennedy lifted the protective charms? Yes. Perfect plan!
