HERE IT WAS!! Looks like he still—more or less—knew his way around his former castle. This wasn’t incredibly difficult to find once he’d gotten lost or pointed in the right direction enough.. He only hoped the students he’d been fast walking with had managed to keep up. He thought he might have lost them somewhere along the walk but he couldn’t be sure. There were so many students. So many looking like they’d seen a ghost BUT HE WAS NOT DEAD. He was here in the flesh. The glorious flesh!!

Unbeknownst to the former portrait, there was a charm placed on the arena. It went unnoticed given his current make up and not...actually being any sort of being the charm would be looking for.

As a result, Godric Gryffindor paraded into the duelling arena with all the determined confidence in the world.

Now where to start?

“We’ll need to move the benches there.” He pointed to whoever would walk in, tap their name and listen. “This entire floor here will need to be raised—yes, a high duel! It will be marvellous!”
