Greetings, fanpeoples. This will most likely be the last chapter of the week, so enjoy!
As they climbed the (thankfully) last level of stairs to enter the commons, they noticed that the pictures hanging on the walls were not pictures, but were alive! "Will," Nico muttered. "I think the pictures are staring at me."
"Death boy, I thi-" Will was interrupted by one of the paintings yelling at him.
"What are you looking at, boy? Can't a painting read in peace?"
"Sorry, Sir" Will apologized. "C'mon, Death Boy. Let's get to the commons" They finally got to the door of the commons, which appeared to be another painting.
"Password?" she sung (she was very off key). Will realized that he had not thought to ask anyone what the password was.
"Sorry, Ma'am, I don't know the password."
"Oh! Are you two the exchange students from America? You don't look familiar, and that accent is anything but British."
"Yes, we are"
"Then I'll let you through. It's not your fault you don't know how things work around here." With that, she swung forward; revealing a door to what Will assumed was the commons. They stepped inside to see a large room filled with worn chairs and tables, with a window covering one side, and a fireplace on the other. There were two staircases labeled Witches and Wizards. Students were spread out around the room.
"Oi! Will! Nico! Over here!" they heard Ron shout from across the room. They came over to where Ron was sitting, and noticed there were two other people sitting by him. "Nico, Will, this is Hermione, and this is Harry." He looked to Will and Nico, expecting some sort of reaction.
"Hello Hermione, hello Harry. I'm Will" Harry looked relived, like he was expecting them to react in a negative way to him. Ron gave him a weird look, but soon returned to normal. Suddenly, a ghost drifted through the wall and paused in the room. It stared at Nico, a look of shock on its face, then quickly drifted out of the room
"Wha-" Ron began.
"Well its getting late, I'm going to bed. Bye!" Nico said, running to the room they'd be sleeping in.
"Nico's right. With the time change, it's going to be hard to get up in the morning." Will mumbled. "I'm going to hit the sack."
There we go! Sorry for the delay in the update, I've been busy. Bye for now!
