And then she realized someone else had decided to use the staircase as amusement, but she was going so fast she coudln't quite tell who. It wasn't glowy!orange!Huffie, cause she figured she was getting ready to use the railing slide as well. Or had possibly already jumped on, but she figured she was going fast enough that it wouldn't be an issue. Using Glisseo made this whole thing even better.
But as she heard her name yelled out, she blinked mid-giggle to realize the new person at the staircase had been Salander. And his weird black!glowiness, which now that she thought about it was probably why she hadn't figured out who it was before. Speed, exhilaration and her own glowiness. And now she was almost at the bottom of the railing, and her green eyes widened. Now would be a good time to figure out how she was supposed to stop . . . She wasn't coming up with anything, and Salander still seemed to be standing down there, with his air guitar and everything. Spastically flailing her wand at the railing again, she said "Finite!," hoping ending the glisseo charm would slow her down before mass chaos happened. Wasn't working to well. "Watch out!!!!!," she yelled at Salander as she semi-launched off the railing. Oh please, oh please, oh please, she kept repeating in her head, wishing desperately that somehow she wouldn't get slammed into the wall or something and massively hurt. Even as the influence of the potion kept telling her the whole thing had been awesomely fun.
And here comes zooooooming down the banister-- the flying Grayson...
"YEAH GRAYSON GOOOOOOO!!!" Salander yelled clapping and cackling at his Ravenclaw friend....
... until she seemed to be taking the whole Fly like an Eagle a little too literally.
Grayson soared over Salander's head as he turns, then quickly realized that she was gonna hit the wall....
She's gonna hit the wall!!!
In a split second decision he grabbed his wand from his back pocket and cast a spell to levitate her......
"Wingardium Leviosa!!"
... of course that was the wrong spell. This is Salander after all.
The spell hit a very large moving portrait, sending its inhabitants screaming for safety. The now empty canvas lifted out of the wall and flew forward...
.... smack into the flying Grayson.
The impact sent the portrait's frame grinding onto the floor, with Grayson partly punctured through it. As it ground to a halt it stood as if trying to decide which way it would fall, then sloooowly leaned towards the wall from which it came.
Well at least it was a soft landing. Sorta.
