"History." There you go, kid. History. "You'll definitely need two pillows. And wear pants." Poor Hufflepuff, kid. He'd not stand a chance.
But anyway.
"I'd leave things hidden behind a tapestry.... hidden behind a tapestry. Since I've been here, you know, for so many years," HEH, "I'd know." Just saying. "Unless it sounds like a prisoner."
Funny story, that HAD happened that one time... .

Weren't they a required part of life/school uniforms?!
His eyebrows showing a bit of surprise and intrigue at the history professor's hint -- was that a hint, that there was a prisoner behind the tapestry? -- the boy looked toward the charms teacher for guidance. "No harming in looking though, eh? What could be hidden behind an old tapestry anyways?"
Lexi gave Lainey a sort of half-confused, half-
what in Merlin's name are you doing? look. The History of Magic professor either...had one heck of an itch or was digging earwax out her ears.
Ew. Lexi hoped she didn't have an earwax problem when she got older, too. She just
eyed Lainey for a second longer then turned away.
The talked returned to history, pillows, and pants, and for the life of her, Lexi couldn't figure out why the students would need pillows and
why pants had to be specified. Didn't the second one just sort of go without saying? Lexi started to just point blank ask what the first lesson was going to be about, but then the talk and attention returned to the tapestry.
At least Prince Charming no longer looked like he wanted to use the bathroom on it.
"So there really is something hidden behind it?" she asked. ...and why hadn't she noticed it when
she was a student?
If it had even been there during that time at all. She thought about nudging the Hufflepuff boy towards the tapestry to see if he'd take the bait and peek behind it. She just
couldn't, though.
She needed to divert her own attention...elsewhere. If she didn't, the temptation to peek behind the tapestry would only grow and grow. Oddly enough, though, things seemed to get a little quiet after that. Lexi wasn't sure if it was just that she was talking to one of her former professors and current students, or that there was really just...a lack of things to talk about right now. Either way, she just sort of got quiet and waited for one of the other two to say something.
