Harry Potter thought Draco Malfoy failing his date was the funniest thing to happen all year. Well, the second funniest thing apart from Moody turning Malfoy into a ferret.
Ron and Hermione thought the same thing, the three of them giggling about it as Isabelle and Clementine passed by.
The golden trio did not even notice as two Ravenclaws briskly walked past them.
"Isabelle, what happened?" Clementine asked her quietly as the corridors got quieter the closer they got to Ravenclaw Tower.
About half the students were still hanging around the Great Hall despite dinner starting over an hour ago. The other half hung around various parts of Hogwarts.
"A vision..." Isabelle whispered back, still trying to wrap her mind around this new skill as they climbed the many steps that led to the tower.
Thankfully, the moving staircases did not shift while they were on them making their trek to the common room that much quicker. And now, as they walked up the dark spiraling stairs dimly lit by candles, Isabelle shivered.
She felt rather exhausted — that vision had taken much energy from her. Especially seeing as it was already the end of the day.
"A vision?" Clementine spluttered. "Lik-like of the future?!"
Isabelle only nodded in response. "It was not bad, as it would turn out Anthony and Padma eventually do get together..." she murmured.
Clementine's eyes widened, but she smiled slightly.
"I knew it!" She cheered. "They're always stealing glances at each other and talking! How far into the future was it?"
Isabelle shrugged. "I couldn't be sure, but if I had to guess probably around eight maybe ten years..."
Clementine's eyes widened. "Oh wow — so they were grown. How delightful!"
Isabelle grumbled as her head pounded. "Yeah, but it'd be more delightful if my head was not absolutely killing me now..." she sighed as they got to the top of the staircase and stood in front of the entrance.
Rowena Ravenclaw sculpted a large wooden door with a shiny golden eagle knocker. The knocker was enchanted by her magic — magic so powerful that the charm has not so much as wained after all these years.
Upon sensing the two students, a deep voice echoed from the knocker.
"Seas with no water. Hills with no Earth. Pathways never stepped on. What am I?"
To always need to answer a riddle to enter the Ravenclaw common room was rather tedious. But it kept the mind thinking and allowed creativity to flourish. After all, to answer a Ravenclaw riddle: one must know how to think outside the box.
And no one was better at such a concept than Clementine Goldstein
"As clever as that is — I can still technically step on a map!" Clementine answered breezily, the girl rarely having issues with the knocker's riddles.
