The castle that was Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was quite the sight to behold, especially by the boats that the Devil known as Enuma Gremory assumed (correctly) was the traditional presentation of the castle for the first years. The King was amongst the many first years that looked at the castle with awe in her violet eyes, albeit not to the same extent as two of her boatmates, Hermione Granger and a fellow redhead (albeit a male one) by the name of Ronald Weasley. Shalltear, the fourth and final one in the boat, on the other hand didn't look particularly impressed, evidenced by the Vampire's deadpan expression.
"Meh. I've seen better." Stated Shalltear flatly, drawing the attention of the others, earning looks of confusion from Hermione and Ronald and a raised eyebrow from her King.
"Castle Bloodfallen?" Wondered Enuma, wanting to confirm whether her suspicion regarding where her Queen drew the comparison was true or not.
"That and the various estates back home."
"Ah. That makes sense."
"What are you two talking about?" Asked Ronald, making his fellow redhead frown and scoot away from him slightly. It wasn't because of what he said, but rather because, in the words of a certain website, he needed a breath mint.
"Okay. One. Two words buddy: breath mint. Two. It seems that Shalltear here isn't particularly impressed by the sight of Hogwarts." Enuma's comment prompted the only male in the boat to release a breath on his hand and take a sniff, while also making the others scoot away from him.
"Breath mints? Here's a better suggestion. Mouthwash." Said Hermione while looking rather disgusted.
"Forget that. Use soap. I smell it from here!" Replied Shalltear in a tone that made her disgust known, who was covering her nose with her sleeve. "And three. That's not any of your business-"
"Shalltear. Don't."
"Fine."
"So uh, what were you two talking about?" Asked Hermione, trying to be polite about the inquiry and hoping that it'd be enough for her new friends(?) to answer her question. Only for the inquiry to remain unanswered as the boat was closing in on the dock, which meant that it was soon time to get off the boat.
