" 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.
Sir Bloodiness was proud, yes. His pride continued to play a huge role in his striking personality. The Baron did not mind the topic of Helena was glossed over; over the years, it had become a sore spot of his.
“This is true. I attended Hogwarts in the eleventh century. Did you know that Hogwarts four founders were alive at the time? I had the privilege of knowing them.” His Ghostliness drew himself up importantly.
Ah.
“Do you not want to be called Mister? I might be able to improvise and call you by your first name alone.” Maybe.
“Unfortunately you will. Yet you are off to a right start by starting your little expedition so soon after arriving at Hogwarts. Have you made any grand discoveries as yet?”
Sir Bloodiness could not say that he understood what it was like to not have anyone to talk to. Conversation was always readily available to him. Whenever he was in the mood and allowed it of course.
“Aren’t you a kind young man? I think it is a good idea though you will have to put your best foot forward. Languages can be particularly difficult.”
