| | |  Tapestry Room
The tapestry room is empty save for a plush carpet underfoot and a large tapestry which hangs across the entire length of one wall which depicts wood nymphs celebrating and frolicking in a beautiful forest. Every time you look at the tapestry it seems there's something else to notice - is that a tadfoal peeking out of the pond? Do you see the anti-gravity tree? There is also of course, the lovely lilting dulcet sound of singing wood nymphs which makes quite a lovely ambient sound for those who might like to use this as a study or meditation space.
The tapestry is animated and it takes over an hour for the entire scene to run to completion. In the daylight it simply resets to the beginning of the celebration, but unfortunately if you happen to be observing the tapestry at night you will find that the true end of the scene is a grisly one, the wood nymphs are attacked by Tarasque - a mythical French hybrid-dragon creature, which tears many of the wood nymphs limb from limb while the others flee in fear, their screams echoing around the room until finally there is silence.... and the tapestry resets itself once more.

It took nearly an hour for Phoebe to find a chair that was small enough to carry but big enough to princess in and then to drag it all the way to this very empty room with the very large tapestry. Like, it was so pretty and Phoebe was sure it was telling her a story, imparting all the secrets of the mansion to her.
If only she'd brought some snacks. Some tea, even. If only she'd brought a blanket and her slippers and a book. This would be a very nice place, especially since no one else had even wandered by since she'd settled into her chair and started investigating the tapestry.

Most days, Octavia worked hard to abide by all of the rules the French school had so she didn’t make any enemies or disappoint her new headmaster, but today she wasn’t in class and so didn’t much care. She wanted to be Octavia, so she wore a skater skirt with designer knee high socks and an old wizwrock shirt. It wasn’t very put together for what the host school liked, but it was what she liked.
She had also been doing whatever her heart desired all day, which wasn’t much of too many things. Breakfast with Flynn, time out in the gardens, and now? Now she was following her calico cat around, letting her decide their next adventure. It was fitting that they came across Phoebe.
”Hey, Fi.” Tavie was light on her feet, trailing Coral who had already made her way over to the blonde for attention. ”What are you doing in here?” Looking around, the first year couldn’t find much interesting about it.

Yoyo spent a lot of her time in this school looking around. If what other kids said was true they wouldn't be here forever and the Hufflepuff wanted to soak every bit of the mansion and all it's wonders in. She'd been in the dance studio- which explained her pink leotard, and sneakers- practicing a contemporary routine she hoped to show Flynn, but now? she was just wandering around, peeking into empty rooms, grinning at passing students (Beauxbaton and Hogwarts alike) and genuinely enjoying her time off from school work.
some noises- a low but enthusiastic cheering had taken Yoyo to the giant chess room where a match between two seventh years had captivated her attention for a solid 30 minutes- and might have kept it up if the stewards of the match hadn't ushered her out after she whooped with glee when the golden-haired student had taken out the brunette's rook in a dazzling move.
She giggled all the way out, unbothered and unembarrassed but sad because she'd never see the end- that was okay, tho- she could make it up later before bed, and then it would be even better because it would be an ending that only belonged to Yoyo.
Humming to herself, the first year once more found herself meandering through the hallway., unaware her friends were just on the other side of that door.

"What if this tapestry tells us how to find the Great Treasure of French Fries? It's a potato box full of rubies, guarded by garden gnomes and... wood nymphs." Phoebe traced a few mysterious shapes on the tapestry with her fingertips. She could make a really good adventure out of this tapestry, but only if Tavie was game for it.
"Also I think we should invite everyone down here and have them bring food and pillows and we can make a nest. No one even uses this room."

Finneas liked popping into the tapestry room every now and again as he made way to his broom cupboard office. It was a fun little game. Thankfully his lack of any coherent routine allowed him to catch the tapestry at a different moment each time he saw it. He hadn't ever managed to find it at it's end though, which was very sad.
There was nothing ordinary about this visit to the room. Just a brief little pop in! Just a quick peek at his favorite lil--Uh. That was strange. Doors didn't have the tendency to just shut on their own... No matter! Finneas was ready to head out anyway, he didn't need an angry door to scare him off.
But... When he went to open said door... It wouldn't budge? So he tugged at the knob a little harder.... And then harder.... Harder, even...... And POP goes the door knob!
This is................. unfortunate.

It wasn’t often that Ewan roamed the castle. Not that he wasn’t the type to explore, no, it was just this place held no interest for him. Sure, it was beautiful it its own unique way but it just wasn’t what he’d grown accustom to love. It was strange what you missed when you could no longer do something. One thing was for certain, he missed actually knowing where he was going.
What was it with this place and being so dang hard to navigate? Shaking his head, he looked around the corridor for something that he recognised but what was there? Nothing. Not a single thing except for a door without a door knob. “Huh. Strange” he murmured as he walked a little closer to the door, his interest piqued now as the door shook as if someone were inside trying to get out. “Uhhhh hello?”.

“Uhhhh hello?”. Very, very unfortunate. He had a lesson to teach in approximately twenty-seven minutes. This was not ideal!
Finneas tried shaking the doorknobless door a bit more, hoping that he could get it open on his own. Though it wasn't working. Not. One. Bit. It was very lucky that he happened to hear the voice on the other side, as the shaking was causing such a ruckus. It was his SAVIOR! Hopefully not in the form of the Headmistress because that would certainly cause an even bigger issue than this one.
"Er, yes, hello!" He could have summoned a patronus too, but of course the one time he happened to forget his wand on a trip to the loo. Why did disaster seem to follow him everywhere in this castle? "Who's there?"
He ought to have started with knock-knock.

He ought to have started with knock-knock. Several thoughts ran through his mind briefly as the voice inside asked who’s there. What if it was some type of creature trying to break out? What if someone was locked in there for a reason? What if it was one of those pink fluffballs? Then again, that was all at Hogwarts and not here, surely? “Uhh it’s Ewan, who’s this?” curiosity getting the better of him now as he looked at the door only to see the lack of a door knob there. Why was it that strange things always followed him? It didn’t make a difference what country he was in or what school. He could be living in an igloo in the Antarctic and some type of man eating penguin the size of a giant would most likely find him.

Thank Merlin, this hero on the other side of the door would surely help him out of this predicament. There was a possibility that his hero would be in the form of someone who... It would not be ideal to find in this circumstance, but at this point Finneas would take ANYONE.
EWAN! Fantastic! Absolutely and utterly fantastic!
"Errrrr... It's me," he smiled awkwardly on the other side of the door. "Professor Schmoe!" Yes this was great. Incredible. "It appears as if... The knob... came loose."
