"Agreed." Simon nodded, sharing another grin with Lana. He couldn't help but grin at her. Not because he agreed with her but because her peppiness was just so infectious. He chuckled. "You'd hope so. Perhaps there are plenty of mysteries about this guy to be discovered," he said with another thoughtful nod.

"I think so. It's rather quiet and I don't think that too many people have discovered this place yet. Perhaps it'll become a secret hideout," he said. That would be cool. It'd be nice to have a place to get away from all the snow and some people who just confused the poor Slytherin.

So she was a second year? Yes, she wasn't that little after all. She was only a year and a half younger than him. "Nice, so you're only a year younger than me. I'm in my third year. I'm fourteen," he said with a grin. He'd be fifteen in the summer. "When's your birthday? If you don't mind me asking?"

Samantha was finding that the places that had statues covering the entrances were the perfect places to practice her work. They for some reason, provided Sam with the concentration that she needed.

Sam found an area that was away from the statue and any students that might be hanging around, tucking a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear. She found the ideal spot and aimed her wand at a relatively small area of wall.

"Caelum Saepio." Sam uttered as she did the figure eight motion with her wand. The movement and incantation was done three more times. Samantha felt warmer and pleased with herself as she headed off.

"Now onto the last place! Where to go?"

Now’s a good time to do his Charms Homework, yeah? Not just to tick another box from his ‘To-Do List’ but to keep the castle warm and all. Turns out, the task had become essential for the structure, as well as its inhabitants. Ethan started off with his favourite place in the castle. Gregory the Smarmy. Revelations happened here, as well as assurance, therefore this place would be on his top priority.

The boy got his wand out and faced the statue of Greg. Seeing that it’s still in good shape, Ethan walked further and settled for a spot just a few inches away from the statue. A sideways infinity sign wand movement and, “Caelum Saepio!” a puff of light smoke came out of the wall, indicating that he had done the spell right.

But oh. What is that piece of paper wedged in between the wall and Greg’s statue? Ethan’s curiosity got the best of him, and read the…oh hell no. Another Aparecium. The boy’s brows furrowed, and he felt his face go warm with anger. He ought to be happy because the article-slash-gossip isn’t so bad. It’s just that…MERLIN. Can’t he have any privacy in this school? Culloden and the boy discussed a sensitive subject for the Slytherin, and it was upsetting that somebody had eavesdropped on their conversation! Crumpling the article into a ball, Ethan jammed the ball of parchment inside his pocket and angrily dashed off to the next location to complete his homework. He’d definitely burn the article once he’s back in their Common Room.
