61 Ghostly attack (1/2)
The eagle door knocker let out its usual cool female voice.
”Is there a difference between living and existing?”
”Existence goes far beyond the extent of one lifetime.”
”Well reasoned.”
Arth entered the familiar Ravenclaw Common room. In one of the arm chairs sat a blonde haired girl with an upside down Quibbler magazine in her hands.
Arth gave a smile.
”Hey Luna, you ready to set out?”
”Oh?”
Luna looked up from the Quibbler and let out a delightful smile that caused the whole room to become a couple shades lighter.
”Well hello Arth, is it that time already?”
”Yes it is.”
”Well, shall we venture forth to seek new wonders that may be presentable in this school?”
Arth and Luna left the Ravenclaw common room side to side. Some of the older Ravenclaws whistled.
Art raised an eyebrow.
”Now why do they think that is necessary?”
”Oh don't mind it, they've been teasing me about it ever since you first came to the tower.”
”Ooh, was it rough?”
”Actually, it was quite pleasing. People would actually try to talk to me you see. Although the teases were getting a bit annoying, it was fun.”
”Hope you are enjoying life.”
”What about you? Are you enjoying life.”
”I'm doing fine.”
”Ok.”
The two of them walked around the school in silence. However, both of them were wearing bright smiles on their faces.
It was only a matter of time before they started to converse with each other once more.
”Ooh, Arth, I never saw that room before! Do you think it might be something special?”
”Ah it's nothing Luna, it's a fake wall pretending to be a room. It comes to this location a couple times during the day to trick students.”
”Fascinating. How about that one?”
”That's a closet. It's where Filch keeps his mops.”
Arth pointed at a wall in the far side.
”Do you see that wall over their?”
”Yes, what about it?”
”It's actually a fake wall. In reality, it is a big door large enough to be a wall.”
”Amazing. Where does it lead to?”
”It's a shortcut to the Great hall. Quite useful when you don't want to be stuck with the crowd.”
”I'll remember it.”
