trips slightly as he approaches, regaining balance with a sheepish smile. "Er, h-hi there! You come here often?"
"Yes, I do. It's... calm here." gestures at the still water
tilts his head, intrigued "Hmm, calm, huh? I never really noticed that before. Mind if I join you?"
quickly sits next to SnowflakeAlchemy, his eyes darting around the lake "So, what brings you to this place? Are you a student at Hogwarts?"
nods, his scar twitching slightly "Ah, so we're both students then. Have you heard any rumors about the latest adventures happening in the castle?
"You mean the 'Chamber of Secrets'?"
leans in closer, his voice dropping to a whisper "Yeah, that's the one! Have you heard anything about it?
"I heard that someone opened it."
grabs SnowflakeAlchemy's arm excitedly "No way! Really? Do you know who it was?"
laughs nervously "Well, shucks! You're as clueless as I am then!" pauses, thinking "But hey, maybe we can figure it out together!
leans back, tapping his chin thoughtfully "Well, we could start by asking around. Maybe some of the other students have heard something.
stands up abruptly, determination in his eyes "Alright, let's get started! We'll question everyone we meet and see what information we can gather."
pulls out a map of the castle and starts pointing at different areas "Okay, first, we need to cover the main corridors.
flips through his map, his index finger dancing across the pages "Alright, let's start with the Gryffindor common room.
excitedly grabs SnowflakeAlchemy's hand "Great! Let's hurry then! We can't waste any time!" starts running towards the Gryffindor common room
stops abruptly, turning to face SnowflakeAlchemy "What? What's wrong?"
"Can't we just apparate there?"
laughs nervously "Apparation isn't allowed for first years, remember? We have to take the stairs."
grins mischievously "Well, maybe there's a shortcut we can take. Follow me!" leads SnowflakeAlchemy through a maze of hidden passages and secret staircases
