"There's an exposed brick here, be careful not to trip on it." She felt along the exposed edge with her cane, then stepped over it and kept going. At step thirty-three, she whispered up to Eli, "Mister Jarod?," she called, smiling widely, "You do know that all we have to do is ask, right?" She compulsively touched her glasses closer to her eyes, mentally counting the steps as she spoke. "I mean, the House Elves will give you pretty much anything you want...not to burst your bubble or anything." She laughed quietly.
"Shhhh!" Eli cautioned her, pulling the girl aside so they could be out of earshot of the others. He whispered to the glasses-clad girl. "We could get in trouble for nicking stuff from the kitchens, technically. But it's important we make the attempt." He spoke at levels so the rest of the students in the hall could hear, but kept his voice low so it would seem like he was trying to speak only to Ari. "There's something you should know... This isn't just some cupcake caper. I'm something of a secret agent, you see."

He kept his voice just loud enough for the other students to overhear. "I probably shouldn't be telling you this until you've proven yourselves... But I'm part of a crack team of agents that have been sent in to investigate all the mysterious goings on at this school. Killings and the like, in recent years, you know. I've been de-aged so that I can blend in, undercover-like." He glanced around shiftily... No professors. Good. "We're part of a secret department of aurors called the Dark Arts Defenstration Alliance: DADA for short. There are several of us, here, at the school. And we're looking for real-life students to help us to get rid of the enemy and save the school. We have agents in every house, recruiting the best and the brightest for our covert operations." He looked at the students soberly. "It's not cupcakes we're after. It's much more dangerous than that."
