Laylee was making her way to the staircases to travel back up to her common room when she suddenly realized that she was kind of hungry, and wanted to go get lunch, she turned around and headed the other direction.
"Do you need directions little girl?" Came a squeaky voice from beside her. Laylee turned thinking she would see a first year trying to give her directions, but she saw a little boy, about the age of 8 sitting on a hardwood floor in a painting on the wall. Laylee smiled. "Well, no, do I look like I do?" She asked the little boy. "Yes you did." He said, his painted legs lifting himself up to stand. Laylee looked at the rest of the portrait quickly, taking in painting. It was of a very beautiful library. There was a desk behind the boy. Laylee squinted to see what the plaque on the front of it said. Minister of Magic. The Minister at the time of this painting was not present.
"You stopped, looked confused and turned around to the other direction. It looked like you were lost." The boy said. Laylee's attention was brought back to him. "Oh, well, I just decided that I was hungry, thats all, so I was heading back." She said smiling at him.
"Oh, okay then." The little boy said as he turned her back to her and sat back on the wood floor, disapointment in his face.
"Whats your name?" Laylee asked him. "Thomas." He said matter of factly.
"My name is Laylee!" She said happily. "And, I was wondering, now that I think of it, I completely forgot how to get to the Great Hall!" She said, hoping this would cheer him up. The little boy looked up smiling and jumped to a standing position again. "Okay! Cuz I can help you ya know! Ive traveled through every single one of the portraits in this castle, did you know that?" The boy asked, excited he would get to help her. "No, I didnt know that! I bet that was a loooong journey! Theres a bunch of pictures in this school." She said, looking amazed. The boy puffed out his little chest in pride.
"Okay, this is how you get there. You go this way until you see a bunch of crazy moving staircases! Then you pick the one that goes down. You have to climb down quickly or you could end up somewhere you dont wanna go!" The boy said commicly, acting out a person walking down stairs with his index and middle finger. "Then you walk this way," He again motioned which way to go. "down the corridor, and about ten portraits down that way will lead you to the Great Hall!" He said smiling, proud of himself. "Thank you very much Thomas! I would have been lost without you." Laylee said smiling.
"I know." Thomas said. "But its okay, because everyone gets lost! And if you ever need directions again, you know where to find me!" The boy said. He went back to his sitting position, smiling to himself. "Goodbye Thomas, see you again soon I hope!" Laylee said smiling caringly at him.
"You too Laylee!" He said.
Laylee walked on her way...
