Adjacent to the Trophy Room is a long corridor where numerous polished suits of armour are on exhibit. This collection of armour has been through a lot over the centuries that the school has been in existence, granted they don't look like it for not a single scratch can be found. If you know your history well enough, you'll be able to easily imagine the circumstances that these suits endured. The weapons they are holding say enough.

Should you decide that you want to examine the armour closely, please do so with caution. Yes, being able to see your reflection in them can come in handy from time to time. Nevertheless, they are known to move because someone's cat has managed to climb inside or, even worse, Peeves has decided to play a practical prank on anyone who happens to walk by and will chase after them, swords and spiked balls on chains swinging. Other than that, the clanky metal should remain quite stationary until they are summoned for battle in a time when Hogwarts is in need of additional protection.

Juliette liked to visit the trophy room at least once each term. It was nice to see her mum's name on the head girl plaque... when she could find it at least. Otherwise it was nice to just look at all of them. She wondered if maybe she ought to venture to the library and try to find the old yearbooks her mum & aunt were in... nah. That place was full of dusty, smelly, old books.

But this? This hallway was filled with nice, shiny, old armour. Juliette wondered what she would look like with some of that spiffy armour on. Probably taller. Walking up to one she fixed her hair in the reflection of the suit of armour. It did make a decent mirror.

"Armour, armour, on the wall, who's the most awesometastical of them all?"

Was she really waiting for a response? Well maybe. After all, portraits could sing, talk and move. Candles floated in the air and they all had a wand. She wouldn't be surprised at ALL if the armour said something.

Noah had been walking back from a meet up with Kimmie when he spotted someone in the Armour Gallery. Hmm... He could have sworn that from behind, she looked like his sister. Just a taller version of his younger sister? The boy unsure if his eyes were playing a game on him decided to venture forward to investigate. Maybe she was just a figment of his imagination. "Quietus," he whispered, pointing to his feet so that he could tip toe further. Hmm... Time to tip toe.

He made his way behind the nearest suit of armor, making sure he was well hidden behind a suit. Noah paused. Okay, def, not his sister. He was about to sneak away when he heard her response. Awesometastical? he thought. That wasn't even a word! He paused. Well again.... Maybe that was the whole point of it. Maybe it was similar to supercalifragilisticespialadocious or however that was spelt? A made up word or a word that was really two words put together. He smirked. Noah couldn't resists answering, wondering how she would react. "Thou art young lioness... Fairest of all the land, my lady," he spoke, intentionally making his voice deeper and tried to sound more British. Umm.. How did Aboli sound? He thought quite similar to that.

Juliette was quite ready to move on from one suit of armour to the next. After all, a girl couldn't wait all day for a fella to respond... unless... this was a female suit of armour? Regardless, she couldn't wait for her either. Muttering a few things along the line of 'this is a waste of time', Juliette straightened her clothes out and stuck one foot out before hearing... the suit of armour respond.

Wh-- Quickly, she turned back to look at the suit of armour. All these years here and never had she heard it say a peep. And now it was telling her she was the fairest of them all? Was she Snow White? Next thing you know, she was going to be able to sing to fwoopers and have nifflers do her chores. What was one supposed to say to a suit of armour after a reply like that though? She wondered where the armour was from too because the accent was... off?

"Armour, armour, on the wall....... do you like to talk often?" She then proceeded to sit in front of the armour, completely oblivious to the upperclassman who was hiding behind a suit of armour not too far away. "Cause I didn't know you could do that but I think you'd be a good keeper of secrets. Since you're a knight and all and you're supposed to protect things." That reasoning made plenty of sense to her. "And do you eat? Like real food? Like can I pour things in your helmet or do you just like to be polished and oiled?"

Juliette had some serious questions that needed answering.

He was expecting the young girl to walk away. So his pranking was done; however, she stayed and sat in front of the armor. Intriguing, thought Noah. He remained silent as he listened to her question. "Talk often? Once a week, I suppose," he offered, nonchalantly. He paused, remaining quiet when she asked more questions. Noah smirked, wondering what other questions she would ask, but then realized he should perhaps answer her questions that she had posed.

"I will protect all my ladies' secrets," he said, standing taller, pretending that would affect the suit in armour in front of him. Alas it did not. "I just prefer to be oiled and polished..." Though the sound of food did sound good. "However, I won't ever say no to deliciously baked snickerdoodle cookies."

Did that satisfy her questions?

Once a week. That made sense why she had never heard a peep from the armour till today. She simply hadn't been there at the right time. Honestly, why hadn't anyone told her about talking armour? Juliette was already in her third year. All the things she could've told the armour since he said he would protect all of her secrets. Not that she had any ~~she'd like to share~~.

"I don't have any snickerdoodle cookies but I have an apple," Juliette said as she reached into her messenger bag. She dug past all the old chocolate and candy wrappers and pulled out a single apple. "I don't love them but my mum told me an apple a day keeps the healers away." She wondered if she was supposed to put the apple in the armour's mouth... or throw it at it? How did they eat....?

She placed the apple on the floor front of her. "If you want the apple, you can get it." Because maybe the armour could move since it could speak. Then she grabbed a small bag of fruit rocks from her trusty bag and started to pop a few in her mouth. Juliette could honestly have a conversation with the armour all day if it could move.

Watson · 05-23-2020, 12:35 AM

She didn't have any snickerdoodle cookies? That was ... unfortunate, he supposed. Was an apple a worthy substitution? The boy was about to refuse it but the girl offered it towards him. He chuckled when the girl admitted what her mother had told her. An apple a day keeps the healers away. "Very smart of your mother..."

He paused when the girl just placed the apple on the floor and challenged him to go get it. What? How as Noah going to pick up the apple as the suit of armor. Could he make it levitate? AH! He could use the Locomotion Charm. Then he'd just have to come up with some reason for a suit of armor being able to use it. "I would move forward to pick it up but I haven't oiled my joints in a while..." explained Noah lamely as he pulled out his wand and nonverbally cast the Locomotion charm at the apple.

Raising his wand a little, Noah guided the apple over towards the suit of armor before trying to land it in his armored hand. Instead the apple ended up being pierced by the spear the suit of armor held in his left hand. Well that was good enough. "Young lady.. Can you help me... I'm unfortunately a little rusty.." he tried with a smirk.

iBeJenn · 05-23-2020, 01:49 AM

She supposed her mum was very smart. After all, her mum was head girl a bazillion years ago. "Well, I don't think mum knew that you could talk so maybe she wasn't that smart when she was in school," she said. "Hey armour, you've probably been here a billion years, so maybe you knew her. But what's your name? My name is Juliette." She should probably get to know the name of the armour she was speaking to. It was only manners and her mum had taught her them.

Juliette was starting to get a little suspicious of the armour when he wouldn't simply reach over and pick up the apple. Joints not oiled? One eyebrow slowly raised as she watched the apple float off of the floor.... and right onto the spear. So... did the armour know magic? She stood and pulled the apple off of the spear. "You have apple all over the spear. It'll get sticky, y'know?" she said and grabbed a handkerchief out of the front pocket of her bag. She wiped it clean - last thing she wanted was to get in trouble for messing up a suit of armour.

"I didn't know suits of armour knew magic," she said, standing on her tiptoes and opening the front flap of the helmet. Hmm... no one in there. "Do you maybe have a leader?" Because she'd like a word with the leader of the suits of armour. "I'd like to make an alliance." To destroy all those who got in her way. An army of armour that knew how to cast spells? She'd be invincible.

Watson · 05-23-2020, 04:07 AM

Her name was Juliette? "I'm Romeo," added Noah, scrambling for something that sounded ancient and old. So a character from old Bill Shakespeare plays seemed to work to him. "What was your mother's name, young Juliette?" he asked. Noah deemed that he must appear all wise and knowledgable. He needed Juliette to believe in the farce for a little more.

"Thank you, my lady," said Noah, still pretending to be an armor. He wasn't sure how long this ruse would last now. He had to think of another option perhaps?

"A Leader?" he repeated as he heard the girl look into the suit of armor. He hid in the corner waiting for her to move away from this particular suit. "I cannot speak of my leader with mere mortals..."

iBeJenn · 05-23-2020, 04:33 PM

The knight's name was Romeo? "Well promise me you won't kill yourself just cause I was taking a nap," Juliette said, amused. She was sure the armour couldn't die. It was an object but she'd play along since she doubted his name was Romeo. "My mum's name was Selena Zabini-Riddle." And Juliette missed her terribly as she often did for the first quarter of the term. She straightened up a bit. "She was head girl, y'know?" And probably super cool. "And in Slytherin... but I ended up in Gryffindor, which is fine but Slytherin would've been preferred..." It was closer to the kitchen and everything but not Hufflepuff. She was no badger.

Who was the armour calling... a mere mortal?

"First of all, I'm a witch," Juliette huffed. "Second of all, I can hex you if you don't let me speak to your leader." Which she wouldn't do because she didn't want to explode the suit by accident... but she could if needed. "Why are you the only one who can talk anyways?" She moved over to a second suit of armour. "Are YOU the leader? Slay Romeo."

Watson · 05-28-2020, 01:32 AM

Noah burst into laughter. "I can't die. I'm an inaminate object!" he quickly retorted, raising his eyebrow, but... Juliette couldn't see cause he was supposed to be a suit of armour. Right... Selena Zabini-Riddle? Zabini-Riddle? Sounded kinda ominous to him. Def.. evil. Def would have to hang out with Malfoy and Peeves. "Head Girl? Brilliant. She's probably very proud of you to live out her legacy..."He paused when she admitted that she was a Gryffindor. Wait- maybe Noah had seen her in the Common Room before. He was almost about to break character when he heard her huff.

That was too cute. Why did this little girl remind him of his siblings?

He cackled an evil laugh, having WAY too much fun with all of this acting. Heh. "Oh, I'm so scared. You're a witch." He smirked and paused, listening to her request - no, demand, to meet with his leader. "My leader? Hold on one minute."

Noah paused, letting silence hang in the air before. "Ring. Ring..." he sang, pretending to be the phone. Now mimicking picking up said phone, he did so behind the suit of armour before grinning. "Yes, hello Romeo speaking. I am the leader. Who do I have the absolute pleasure of addressing?"

iBeJenn · 05-29-2020, 04:14 AM

Juliette frowned. That was indeed a good point. A suit of armour couldn't possibly die. But if the armour laughed, wouldn't it move? Juliette knew she did when she laughed, especially when something was hilarious. "Well, I'll melt you down then!" Which was still a good insult for this hunk of metal. Truth be told, Juliette was getting a little bit suspicious of this suit of armour. "She likes that I'm at Hogwarts... I think if I ever made head girl, she'd be over the moon," Juliette mused.

POUT. "You really ought to be scared. I could explode you to pieces," Juliette lied. She didn't know how to do that. She had come across the spell once or twice but didn't recall the wand movement. Which was LUCKY for the armour really because this hunk of metal was mocking her. She would definitely need to speak to the ~~manager~~ leader.

.... Ring ring...? What kind of sound was that? Was he mimicking a bird? Or an owl? They went Brrr brr or cooo coooo or... hoot hoot.

"Romeo. I'm going to melt you down for real," she said seriously. "You said you couldn't speak of your leader but if you are the leader, you're a liar." She left out the bit about the mortal thing for now. She'd remind him again later. "I should run you through with your own spear," Juliette muttered under her breath. She stuck her tongue out at the shiny suit of armour for good measure. Because she was sooooooo mature. "You're such a... TOAD." Yeah. FEEL INSULTED.

Watson · 06-02-2020, 02:34 AM

"Melt me down? Young girl, did your mother teach you any manners?" huffed Noah pretending to be Romeo, the leader of all Suits of Armor at their fair school of Hogwarts. Heh. He was having too much fun. "How dare you say that you'll melt me. Do you know who I am?"

He should be scared? Explode him into pieces...? "Explode me... Young miss, forgive my offense." he sighed. "I am but a humble suit of armor..."

Run him through with his own spear? He smirked. "I'd like to see you try, little one." Yes, that was a challenge - Romeo wasn't afraid but boy Noah would be if she ACTUALLY managed to grab a spear. Sheesh. Intimidating little thing. That's what this Lioness was. Her insult made him BURST into laughter and he rolled to the floor, losing his disguise and all of his cool. "That's the CUTEST insult I've heard all day." Brb. Noah Nam was dying. His stomach was hurting from how much he was laughing. Def an ab workout.

iBeJenn · 06-14-2020, 03:15 AM

Juliette let out a little huff right back. "Do you know who I am?" She had just met this old suit of armour and the charm of speaking to him was wearing off fast. "I am Juliette Zabini-Riddle. Daughter of Selena Zabini-Riddle, niece to Emma Malfoy and I will melt you down and turn you into a tiara!" Y'know... if she were actually any good at transfiguration but the armour didn't need to know that.

"Humble suit of armour.... my--" Juliette stopped her muttering and rolled her eyes. She did not forgive the armour at ALL. With that, Juliette reached for the spear. She wasn't sure how she was going to pull it out. What if the whole suit collapsed when she did it?

But right after she had called the suit of armour a toad... a taller guy had stumbled out from behind a suit of armour... and called her insult... cute? Juliette vaguely recognized the boy from the common room. They must be in the same house. But who on earth was he to call the insult cute?!

She frowned and nudged him with a foot - she was tempted to kick him but didn't actually want to hurt him. "Toads are SO not cute! They're bumpy and warty and they smell!" And he probably smelled too. "Romeo, you are so not cute as a person. Turn back into a suit of armour." She was lying. He was semi-attractive. But she was also quite infuriated at that moment. And how long had that boy been there PLAYING HER?!
