We walked out of the Slytherin Common Room through the enchanted bare stone wall in the dungeon.
If Professor Snape taught Potions IN the Dungeon, then it should only be a few steps away..right?
Wrong-i-ty.
I didn't take into consideration how large Hogwarts was, and how large the entire underside would be.
Addeline and I walked down the empty corridor upon corridor until we came to a fork.
"Right or Left Addeline?" I asked calmly.
"I......I really don't know Taylor.." Addeline replied.
There was silence for a second, and suddenly there was a crash to our left.
One of the ornamental vases had fallen from its stand, and there was a semi-transparent little body floating over the rubble.
The ghost then looked up at us with a huge grin on his face.
"Oyy it 'eems we ave some ickle first yearrs!!! WHAT FUNN! Are you lost ickle little firsties?? Can Peeves help ze widdle firsties?"
"Yes, hi..Peeves..? We're needing to go to Professor Snape's Potions class, can you show us the way?" Addeline asked with hope.
"But of COURSE Peeves-i can show you the way, Peeves would LOVE to show ze firsties the way to Potions with Professor Snape." he sang.
"Oh thank you so much Peeves!" replied Addeline.
"Just dis way..." he said floating off to the left corridor.
We followed.
We walked down the hall, then turned a left, and then another left. We walked for a good fifteen minutes. Potions couldn't really be THIS far away could it? After walking a little more. Our ghost-y friend stopped.
"What's wrong Peeves?" I asked.
"The Baron.." he twitched.
"Wha..?" I tried.
"..he's coming...ohh NOOOOS-IES!! He's going to kills Peeves-ies!! The Bloody Baron is coming! Peeves-ies must gooooo!"
and like that, our ghostly guide floated away.
"I don't know why he's so terrified. It's just the Bloody Baron." yawned Addeline.
"Who...is the Bloody Baron?" I asked.
"He's the Slythern House ghost. He's called the Bloody Baron because back in the day or something, after graduating Hogwarts, he fell in love with Helena Ravenclaw, but she didnt like him back and later on her mom sent the Baron to go find her in Albania. She refused to go with him so understandably enough he killed her, and then killed himself.."
"How romantic.." I carelessly responded. "How do they expect us to know where anything is in this school...this is ridiculous. Let's just walk back to our dormitories Addeline..or at least find a prefect or something.."
"Yeah..alright.." she replied.
As we started walking back, we spotted a cat prancing towards us.
"Aww, hello there Mrs. Norris," said Addeline bending down to pet her, "awww,such a beautiful kitty.. Here, pet her Taylor, she's really sweet.."
She was. Mrs. Norris wrapped around my leg and purred loudly with affection. She then looked up at me and meowed.
"What is it Mrs. Norris?" asked Addeline.
Mrs. Norris nudged her head a few times to the right, and meowed once more.
"I think she's going to show us where Potions is Taylor!"
We followed her all the way back towards the Dungeon entrance and made it to the door marked 'Potions'.
We hesitated..then walked inside...
