Flyte paced the fifth floor hall, she was early meeting Oryn and she hoped he would get here soon. She had a lot to talk to him about today - hopefully he would understand what she had to say.
She had dressed very casually in a vintage Popeye t-shirt and denim skirt, she had also paid an homage to her home by wearing a long pair of feathered earrings her mother had given her. She had been feeling kind of homesick this morning and had been distracting herself by thinking of all the possible reactions Oryn could have to her news.
From Psychotic killing spree to casual indifference... it had been very entertaining.

Oryn entered the fifth floor corridor just a few minutes after Flyte arrived to start pacing. He wore rather casual robes, and had his swim trunks on underneath, in case they actually found the room they were looking for. He had a good idea what they could do to figure out where it was, but it would still be time consuming.
He smiled when he saw her waiting for him, and with a casual flick of his wand, a small parcel, which he'd picked up in Hogsmeade after his drink with Drake, appeared in his hand as he came up behind her. "I got these for you," he said quietly once he'd come up behind her, holding the roses in front of him.

Flyte turned with a curse word, totally surprised. Then blushed over the curse word and further still at the roses.
'Oh Oryn, those are gorgeous!' Flyte beamed. 'I hope that they didn't cost you very much..' She toke them from him and inhaled the perfume, smiling happily. 'Thank you.' She kissed his cheek and took his hand.
'So where too now, oh fearless leader?' she giggled.

Oryn grinned, squeezing her hand. "It's on this floor somewhere. I can't find anything that says where, but I have a few guesses. It ought to be in a part of the floor where people wouldn't usually walk, so that not so many people would see anyone entering it. We can also probably find a wide gap between the walls of classrooms where a hidden room could be, if we can look carefully enough." he looked around, then pointed down a hall. "The major classrooms are here by the stairs, so I think we should start down here."

Flyte nodded, entirely willing to follow Oryn's lead, what he had said made sense to her.
'So I'm guessing we can rule out the immediate vicinity of the staircases..' she mused. 'Maybe there would be different panelling on the walls near it - a sort of subtle sign its not an ordinary room - like in our room.'
Flyte quickly looked down at her feet.
Our room?! You idiot! Inwardly she groaned and kicked herself in the butt.

Oryn, however, just smiled a little at her slip, and filed it away for later. He started looking down halls, noting that they all seemed to be evenly spaced apart, with the doors in them occurring just as regularly. "Not these," he muttered.
THe next hall, though, looked much more promising. This was evidently a little-used main hall of the school, with statues and paintings decorating it. Even better, the doors were much more sporadic and widely spaced. "I think we have a winner here. We need to start looking for wide spaces where there doesn't seem to be a room," he said, peeking in the closest door and seeing that the room clearly took up all the space between it and the room at the next doorway.

Flyte pushed open a door and found herself face-to-face with hundreds of faceless mannequins dressed in different types of underwear. She giggled and pulled Oryn over to look.
'What the...' she disolved into giggles again.

Oryn walked over, looked through the door, and blinked. "What the hell..."
He smirked, then reexamined the manequins. He nodded toward a rather racy set on a female mannequin. "You could take that set and save it for later, I don't think the current wearer will notice it's gone," he teased.

'Well maybe I will,' Flyte replied saucily pulling her wand out and performing a quick spell. The underwear landed in a neatly folded pile in front of her and she scooped it up with a smile.
'Do you think it will fit you though?' she teased.
Backing out of the room Flyte waited for Oryn to open the next door - ready for whatever they would find next, an excited smile on her face.

Oryn smirked as they exited the room, giving her a playful swat on the behind for her smart mouth. He opened the next room and found a classroom that didn't have any surprising dimensions.
The next room, however, was filled with pixies. Oryn slammed the door before the tiny blue imps could fly through and escape, and was rewarded with a sound like a hundred tennis balls thumping against the door. "Well. Someone in this school certainly has a sense of humor."

She jumped at the swat and giggled out loud, jumping in surprise at the pixie invasion.
'Shouldn't someone know they are there and kind of.. dispose of them or whatever?' Flyte puzzled. 'It kinda seems like cruelty or something to leave them there like that...'
She hesitated in front of the next door, it had a large green serpent figure carved around the door handle and she hesitantly turned it, praying that it wasn't a literal sign. It didn't budge and she grabbed Oryn's hand, placing it on the door handle and pushing it before he had a chance to react.
The door swung easily open and revealed a large study, complete with desk and globe.

Oryn looked around, curious. "That's odd," he said. "I wonder what this is supposed to be, because I know that our head of house's office is somewhere else."

Flyte shrugged, she didn't care what it was for, it was kinda cool and a little scary at the same time.
'This place gives me the heebiejeebies, feels all ominious and stuff. Reminds me that I am hanging around with a Slytherin lad.' She shivered a little.
'Next?'

Oryn chuckled, then led her to the next door, the last in the hall, though their was a wide stretch of hall before it dead ended at the wall. Oryn opened the door, expecting a wide auditorium, but found only a broom closet.
He grinned at her. "I think we're in luck. Start tapping the wall with your wand, I'll start at the wall and work my way back to you," he said. He whispered the password to her, then hurried down to start trying to open it.

Flyte took out her wand again and began tapping parts of the wall. She tapped high and low, whispering the password as she went along, hoping that something would happen. She would love to have slipped inside and closed the door behind her leaving Oryn to find the entrance for himself.
She paused for a moment, watching Oryn at work - focused on the task at hand. He seemed to be able to cover more area due to the extra height he had but she figured that if it was a prefect bathroom it would need to be accessible to short people too.
'Maybe its a piece of the floor..' she looked over at Oryn.
