 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Yeah…
Jude was having mixed feelings about this: to explore or to simply bow out while they were all in one piece. Apparently this was his thing lately, being on the fence while his feelings went in opposite directions. But this wasn’t the time nor place for that sort of thinking. He stayed right where he was, wand held out even as he heard Serena call out to them. He hadn’t heard Lisa’s voice, otherwise he’d have shouted to her to stay outside. Jude even stayed silent as Arden shouted a reply to those waiting outside. All the while, he was observing the strange place after taking a few steps closer to the scenery. It at once hit him that the strange environment was magicked to sit within Hogwarts. What also hit him was the bit of heat radiating from the environment; this could mean that it was a lot hotter on the inside.
The Hufflepuff looked around at the small group which had come to explore; he was the oldest here so if anything untoward happened, there was not much he could expect from the younger ones in terms of defending themselves. But he also remembered something Kazmi said at the start of term feast. “Explanations will come in due course. Do you guys recall the Headmaster saying that about this room at the Feast?’’ he asked. “If the staff is planning to tell us about it, does it mean this place is harmless??’’ Listen, Jude was thinking everything through carefully, okay? One didn't attend Hogwarts for a fifth year without knowing a thing or two about the dangers that lurked here. He wasn’t going to risk his neck doing anything stupid; there was a particular messy haired Muggle boy he would like to see again during the next holiday break, thank you very much. "If that's the case, then I don't see why we shouldn't explore." He was just going to give the others a moment to weigh in their thoughts.
