A staircase near the bottom.

"Sure, okay, then! I'm Farley. But call me Frank, because at least it's not some 1800's name."

"Farley's a pretty cool name, though! Thanks, see you later then!" Olivia ran back down the stairs, stuck her tongue out at Amanda, and headed for Potions.

[o-o this oughta be interesting.]

Olivia stood here, looking up the staircase. "... Why first thing in the morning? Why not after lunch or something?"

Amanda appeared, huffing a little from the wasted walk to Herbology. Someone had told her there was one of her books in there, that is why she went, but there wasn't. Amanda stood next to Olivia. "Mornin~!"

"Mind link! Total mind link!"

"What do you mean?"

Olivia blinked. "Never mind."

Amanda began walking up the stairs. "You know what helps doing these stairs in the early morning? Not thinking about it. Carry a conversation the entire way up and it's easy! Much better than doing all the stairs right after lunch because you feel full and a bit tired!"

Olivia followed Amanda. "Okay, what do you wanna talk about then?"

"I met some guy the other day."

"Ooooh, you met a guyyyyy." Olivia skipped over a few stairs to catch up.

"Yeah. He's really dramatic though... But he can pull off a dramatic sparkle scene like in anime."

"... He sparkles?"

"Well he blabbered on about how hard it is for a dark wizard and that's why he reads about them, because he can understand, then her ran to a sparkly window, so yeah. He can..." Amanda stopped for a moment.

"I don't think I like 'im."

"... He understands dark wizards ... what."

"Or something like great minds of wizards thought of odd, something!"

"... That's not weird at all."

Amanda laughed. "Exactly!"

"So, who is he?"

"Wallace Ferdinand Vainglory .... the third." Amanda said third all stuffy and odd.

"Theeeee... thuuuuuurd... I think I've heard of him."

Amanda shrugged. "Half way there."

"... My heart rate is up."

"... SO"
