Tell Them I'm Trapped in an Oil Painting

Was that directed at him? What on earth could have have done deserve that noise. Expecting it to be the care taker complains about dirty shoes or something Blake looked up and noticed that it was a portrait making all that noise.

Jeez... "Do you need help with something?" He asked, clearly the portrait was after something.... after the rumors Blake heard about Helga and Godgric roaming the halls.... Blake shuddered at the thought of her walking straight out of her frame. He took a step back just in case she did just that.

Can't really start the way with proper exercise and some yummy breakfast... mostly the breakfast part she barely does any yoga anyway.

She has a bit of time to spare so she made a detour toward the first floor and into the portraits. There were a lot of portraits in this area- it was just a place that she doesn't normally loiter around since then. She then found one of the Slytherins looking up at a particular painting. Walking towards him and smiled "Hello there!" she greeted the second year first trying to remember his name. He's quite familiar.... Hmmmm… Oh riiight! "Blake Ryan" she added. Before she could ask him what he was doing, her eyes glanced over to the painting.

Ahhh yes, Roberta. She looks upset? Perhaps bored? Her sulking does indicate this. "Good day. Are you okay?" she asks.
Roberta looked at the boy who approached her frame, eager at first to have a conversation with him. Then, he went and said THAT, and he sounded...annoyed with her? She was doing NOTHING annoying of the sort! She was just minding her own business in the frame!

"I'm TRYING to be entertained here and quite frankly, you Hogwarts students are failing to do so. Miserably,"
she told him, flipping her blonde curls over her shoulder.

She looked at the newcomer, who at least had the decency to ask how she was doing today. "Thank you for asking! No one ever asks!" Roberta said dramatically, leaning against her frame and touching her hand to her forehead for added emphasis on how exhausting this all was.

Then, suddenly, in a bright flash of light enveloped the corridor, and when it faded seconds later - Roberta was standing in the corridor, in front of her frame, looking around in confusion.

As for the boy and girl? They were BOTH currently inhabiting her painting - standing right there, in front of her English cottage, utterly trapped by the canvas.
