Hogwarts: Staircase, early evening

[fortunatestory.livejournal.com]

If anyone's walking around the castle in the early evening, they might come across Rhys, sitting in a lovely squishy armchair on a staircase landing and sipping a cup of tea. There's an empty portrait frame next to him- if you're fast, you might notice a flurry of movement across the other paintings nearby. The girl in the picture's shy, you see.

And you've interrupted their chat. How rude.

"It's one of those things that comes with experience. Don't do anything too stupid and I'm sure you'll be fine- you seem like a bright lad."

"I'll try not to, professor."

"Avoid stupidity. Good general rule."

"I think I can do that and I'm going to see if I can get anymore done with this essay. Thank you, professor. I hope you have more good conversations tonight,"

He stands up and gathers his books.

"Let me know how it goes, and thank you for your company. Take a cake if you want."

There's a shy blonde girl peeping around the edge of the portrait frame now, waiting for Will to leave.

Will grabs a cake and bows to the girl in the frame before heading down the stairs,

"I will, thank you again."

"Have a good night."
