The forbidden corridor

Soon after, Adara and Aliana met Birdy

Birdy grinned, almost wickedly, "So, the forbidden corridor," she hissed, "Fun, eh?" she changed her voice a bit to a lighter, more playful Birdy, "Don't suppose you've read the gossips this week? Rather hilarious stuff you know..."

She pulled out a bit of the newspaper from that morning and read, "'It was recently rumored that Birdy, who is said to be in the Silver Dragon house, was seen hanging out with "Death Eaters", the supposed servants of You-Know-Who. This reporter thinks that this "Birdy" should be put under a truth potion and questioned about this. People who hang out with Death Eaters are nothing but troubled and should be expelled from school!' Ha!" she laughed, "hanging out with death eaters? what do they think I'm doing, having tea with the Malfoys? going for breakie with the Goyles?" she shook her head. "Oh well," she laughed and stuffed the paper back into her jeans pocket, "Oh yeah, and if you wanna read anymore of that gibberish, it's under 'Rumors with Rudy'..."

Birdy grinned maliciously, "So, let's go..." they rounded into the forbidden corridor, and her eyes widened, smiling, she turned to the others, "So... Let's go!"

Aliana followed the girls, trying not to look so confused. She smiled at the rumor Birdy read out. 'Has there been trouble lately with Death Eaters?' She asked, curious.

As the girls, Birdy, Aliana and Adara walked the corridors leading to the forbidden corridor, they giggled and laughed about the paper and all the silly rumors flying around, the girls themselves began to jump to conclusions and new rumors began to form amongst them.


Finally they got to the big oak door that lead to the forbidden corridor, there sat a brown cat, he mowed at them. "Typical" said Birdy, "caught by a cat".

Then they heard professor like footsteps coming up the stairs behind them, any moment they'd be caught, they were trapped, couldn't go backwards, couldn't go forwards.... or could they?

"Even more typical!" Birdy whispered, "Caught by a Proffesor too! unless..." she opened the large door and slipped inside, as did the others.

"Hurry up and get inside you guys! Close the door." Adara looked around at the dark corridor. "I wonder why this corridor is forbidden..."

"I dunno," Birdy whispered, "But there must be a reason... because if it's forbidden there's something back here. And I intend to find out exactly what that is! I also intend to find out what's under Professor Chateaunoir's hat!" she smiled, "Not to be nosey, but it's my nature!"
