"C-carving...?" Aiden responded breathlessly, looking up at Mitsuki with wide eyes. He didn't know what that meant, but he DID know that whatever it was it sounded scary. Everything was scary when you were in the hallways alone. Hogwarts had everything you could ever imagine, both good AND bad. At least he wasn't alone anymore...
Not yet anyway. But then Mitsuki began to walk towards the noises, and Aiden scurried after her. "G-go see? But Mitsuki what if..." he asked nervously, but she was going, and wherever SHE went HE was going too cause he was NOT gonna be left alone lost in the hallway again so he hurried after her. He hoped that the dust she sprinkled over him was gonna help. When they got around the corner Aiden saw another Hufflepuff boy and his friend Milo (Even if it was only Aiden who thought that they were friends, but Milo had been nice to him at Diagon Alley a year ago, and after that Aiden had decided that since he was nice they were friends even if he didn't understand him sometimes.)
He looked at the letters on the wall and held onto both Mitsuki and his bear tightly.
"Play what...?" he asked, not understanding what it all meant. He knew the first few words cause they were part of a nursery rhyme. The rest just made no sense. Maybe the words were friendly...? But what could they play? Or was it the person who had written it? Was it he who Aiden had heard?
"What's the Spirit room? Keep WHO waiting? What do they want?" Aiden asked, whimpering a little. The whole thing seemed creepy and he didn't even know why.
But if Mitsuki was going to go look, did that mean she was gonna leave Aiden all alone?
"I'm comin' too," the tiny boy insisted, pouting as he held onto Mitsuki's arm. |
