As if on command, the staircase groaned, shifted then started moving.

The only problem was, Aggie wasn’t there yet. “No wait – for – me!” she huffed loudly. “Arrrggg!”

And with a final oomph she launched herself at the staircase, catching it just as it shifted two feet away from the hallway.

“Ha!Ha!” she exclaimed landing on the top step. Then she stumbled awkwardly and had to cling to the railing as her purple shod feet slipped out from under her. She landed a couple of stairs further down on her bum. “Ouch….”

Tobi had seen the stairs start their shift from way behind Aggie so he had had to double back in he wanted to catch up to her before next Thursday. Ruddy staircases. Luckily, several years of exploring the castle with Evelyn had gotten him rather familiar with various secret passages.

The downside was that he had to go back and tap the suit of armour he had just offended on the head with his wand.

That went over well... yeah, not so much. It had taken several extra, rather sharp, taps to get the angry suit of armour to step aside (it took a swing at him when it did, narrowly missing a good heavy blow to his jaw) at which point Tobi had to all but fly down the narrow stone staircase, jumping a trick step, and burst through a tapestry right next to the Prefects bathroom which was not far from the moving staircase, he bolted down the hall to meet it when it came to a stop bearing Aggie.
