One minute Curt had picked up his pumpkin juice from the table, the next his arm had brushed against the gold and black, and then after that there was some strange room in front of him. He couldn't explain how it happened, his mind was on too many things. Frederic Krum being one of them, he had infuriated Curt. Shoving the thoughts off his mind, Curt stepped into the empty room and saw a mirror, or wait, was it a window?
The panel slid shut behind him and he walked closer, a gasp escaped his mouth. That was Shackleton! Curts eyes widened as he stood closer to the class, and touched the cold surface with his hand. "What in the--?" He muttered, as he looked behind him. Going back out the way he came to find Vannah and the rest seemed like a logical idea, but then again, what if there was no time to lose? Vannah could have been anywhere in the castle, and if could very likely take hours to find her.
Curt sighed, and looked back into the sinister mirror where it looked like Shackleton was trapped. "Professor?" He called out, a tad stupidly, and as he figured there was no response. Bullocks, Curt knew what he had to do. The other door was the option, where did it lead? Danger seemed to loom, but Curt was of age and quite talented. At least he wasn't going to pose completely hopeless. Taking out his wand, Curt pushed open the other door that lead to a dark, mysterious room.
He couldn't see anything, but he definitely heard voices. With the firm flick of his wand and a non-verbal incantation, Curts wand tip ignited and shone on all the other occupants in the room. The first person he noticed was teammate, and fourth year Hufflepuff Dominic Denton. Surrounding him were fellow Hufflepuffs, Curt knew all of them by face, but not exactly by name. He'd seen them in and out of the common room more often than not. Walking over to them, Curt furrowed his brow and paused for a moment.
"So, apparently the castle has a lot more secrets than I thought. And I thought I knew most of them." Curt said to the group, shining his wandlight around the room but it only kept finding more darkness. He had gotten a good look at all of them, he was definitely the oldest by at least two years. Curt couldn't help but feel responsibilities seep into his mind, nobody is going to get hurt, he kept reminding himself. Turning to Dom, Curt shrugged slightly. "I guess we should just keep walking on eh? You all saw Shackleton too right? I'm not just going crazy?" Curt had to make sure, that was far too strange.
