The constant walking on tip toes, the constant adding of new rules. This was a school, they were supposed to learn in a fun enviroment but these days Hogwarts had felt more like a prison. "I can't believe they fired Professor Stewart and replaced her with that...that..." he huffed loudly, indicating that he was not pleased with the newly appointed Ravenclaw Head of House. "Did you know that he replaced the comic books in our common room with boring encyclopedias? I mean, if he had just added them to the collection we'd have no problem but noooo" he exaggerated the O. "He had to take away a simple joy such as comic books" he shook his head in disbelief. "My dad also used to send my candy from Sugarplums but with them checking our owl posts i haven't received a single one"only the letters that his father had written with no candy.

But despite being frustrated, the Ravenclaw did laugh at the Gryffindor's choice of words. "Did you just use a spell as a pun?" he asked. Gosh, he couldn't remember when it had been the last time since he had laughed. Probably, two weeks ago? And the fourth year used to laugh all the time. Ugh, the Headmaster and his henchmen were sucking all the fun out of everything!

Moving away from the wall, Dorian stood in front of the mirror now as well and peered inside it with a slight frown on his face. He had no idea where Versaille was as he had never been to France before and quite frankly he did not care either. But the room itself intrigued his interest. "Maybe the room can only be found at certain times of the day?" he said, taking a step closer to see if he could find anything that sparked his memory and as he looked, a shadow darted from the right corner and vanished. "Did you see that?!" he asked as he looked behind him and down the corridor to see if anyone else was there but it was just them so far.

He looked back at the mirror but saw no shadow anymore. "Ah, nevermind, i think i'm just tired..."
"Ogre?" offered Chase with a small smile. He, too, couldn't believe that they had gotten rid of Professor Stewart. She had been at the school for such a long time and had always been friendly to students regardless of their house. He remained silent, listening to Dorian describe the abomination that occurred in their common room. His face twisted from unamused to absolutely horrified. Replacing their fun comic books with encyclopedias?! What kind of monster had Scrimmy brought into the school? "NO! That's awful," he said. "As I said in Herbology, this new Headmaster's personality is akin to Venomous Tentacula." He was going to stand by it. Chase was one to speak the truth. Not say lies. He was a horrible liar. But he would have to work on this skill to better survive this new Hogwarts. Chase frowned even more when the Ravenclaw informed him that he wasn't given any of the treats that his father had sent him. And the mate probably couldn't owl back to his father and explain what was happening. "It's as if we're prisoners of the school... There must be something we can do to overcome this all...."

Just exactly what would be the question. He sighed. "In the meantime, I think we all need to stick together through this... I'm Chase by the way. Chang-Woo Spenley formally but my mates call me Chase," he added.

Chase couldn't help but smile when he heard the Ravenclaw's laugh. Laughter in such an open place seemed like a dangerous notion but instead of being uncomfortable about it all, Chase just smiled. "I did... It's weird to laugh now, isn't it?" he spoke and shook his head, glancing at his feet momentarily before up at the Ravenclaw. "That's not right."

He turned his gaze back to the mirror as the Ravenclaw said that perhaps the room that was pictured in the mirror could only be seen at certain times of the day. Huh..... Now that was an intriguing thought. He paused and was about to look away when he saw something move. HUH? Then the Raven said that he was wrong. "WAIT. I saw it too," began Chase. "It was a figure... In the left hand corner. A dark figure as if he or she were hooded...." His eyes remained on the painting. "There! It happened again. Did you see it?"
