The Baron floated through the dark stone corridors that made up the dungeons, the space lit up intermittently with torches. It had been quiet around the castle for a while, a first in a long time and he was getting bored. An existence as a ghost could get monotonous from time to time.
He thought of entering the dorms and scaring a few students in their sleep but after that occurrence when he had come upon a student staring at a photograph of a naked young lady and his trousers around his ankles, he refrained from doing so again.
He could go find a few portraits to speak to but they were rather bores when they got started and he didn't think he had the patience for a conversation with someone like Sir Cadogan tonight.
Maybe he could find Friar or Nick to speak to. At least they would be much more entertaining to talk to than to idly float through corridors all night. But where would they be at this time of night?
He was just about to float up to the higher floor when a crash sounded from one of the closed rooms further in the darkness, followed by a delightful snicker. A few minutes later, Peeves floated through the door and looked both ways before taking off down the corridor, his mad cackling bouncing off the stones.
The Baron grinned and then followed behind the annoying blur. Though he might not like Peeves, he did make his existence interesting.
