There was even a high tone of pride in his voice when he spoke next which overrode the original boredom. “I expect she would have told you the entire sad story about my love for Helena Ravenclaw?” Of all the stories that had made up Sir Bloodiness’s life that remained the most popular.
“I shall call you Master Sohrin. It just feels right. As for discovering all of Hogwarts’s secrets I’m afraid you might spend all of your seven years hunting them out and will still be unable to find them all.’’ That was another fact Master Sohrin. “Why? Is it because he’s muttering to himself? I think he lost his mind after decades of not having anyone much to talk to.”
Sohrin had noticed a change in the Baron's tone of voice, which bothered him. If he had known what the topics were and by listening to his words a second later he did, the Ravenclaw would have assumed that he would sound that prideful.
" She mentioned a thing or two" he said, nodding his head. But discussing depressing events from the FAR past was not his cup of tea. He had a castle to discover!
"Were you actually in Slytherin House when you were a student here? How many secrets have you discovered?" "Master Soh...." Sohrin looked crestfallen. Every professor addressed him as such; it was a common title in a school setting. It was almost disappointing.
"Well, if that's true, I guess I need to change my words?" he sighed. Instead of finding all of Hogwarts secrets, he would work on finding most of the school's secrets.
As the statue began to mumble in Latin, the Ravenclaw turned his head to look at it again. He was suspicious of the statue precisely because it was talking to itself. But the Baron's words caused him to reconsider yet again.
"That's...sad" he concluded. He enjoyed interacting with others and found some conversations interesting, but not all.
"No one should have no one to talk to for so many years," he said, frowning.
"I should ask Professor Liu if I can sign up for Latin classes, maybe one day I'll be able to speak with this statue!" Perhaps his intuition was correct, and the statue did contain a secret. He could obviously ask the Baron about some of the secrets but he wanted to try and find them by himself at first.
