Now it was his turn to chuckle. "I figured you'd say that. Boring usually means safe though." He was just saying! Not that it would remain safe by any means once they got inside.. if they even got that far. "That's what I've heard. I'm surprised you didn't know that." Since he had found out from his own younger sister. Yeah, yeah.. not that it mattered and he hadn't bothered to ask where she had gotten her information from. "We can test it later when we get back if you want." Cue the side-eye at that almost slip up. "Vera? Yeah.. I guess we can invite her along." As of lately they'd been getting along better.

Without further ado, Vasco stepped to the side a step or two and back several paces before swinging himself up over the fence to land on the other side beside him friend. That wasn't hard at all. "Lets go before anyone sees us." A quick glance around didn't show anyone to be around but that didn't mean anyone wasn't. So before they could be spotted, Vasco trudged forward through the snow once more towards the shake this time.
"You're preaching to the frog choir, mate," the blond responded, a grin planted on his face, forever overjoyed that Vasco was not one of those Ravenclaws that thought of every minute detail and stuck to it. "That is the Gryffindor way, after all. Don't think; just do it." It was how he personally went about his life. Well, most of the time. There were certain things he either avoided altogether or actually sat and thought about.

As for the passage beneath the Whomping Willow, he had heard from one of the Gryffindors who heard from a Hufflepuff, who heard from a Slytherin, who heard from a Ravenclaw, who got the information from somewhere that there was a passage under there. He even knew how to activate said passage, though he had yet to make an attempt. What he did not know, until now, was where said passage led -- perhaps that had gotten lost in the passing of information. That much Logan would have shared, but then a certain name had been mentioned. Cue the internal panic. Uhh... uhh... uhh...

"And Sable and Enzo and Keighley and Charlie and whoever else wants to tag along," Logan added in an attempt to cover the almost slip-up that he knew his friend had noticed. "We could have a party in the shack."

Speaking of the shack, there it was in all of its glory, the fence long behind them. Logan bolted ahead, both out of excitement and to remove himself from the spot where that slip-up had occurred. "Let's walk around?" he suggested, looking at the boarded-up door and windows. "There's got to be a way in that isn't blocked off somewhere around here."
