The furious chanting made Damon feel uncomfortable, sweat formed on his brow. He stopped to look around at everyone in the room raging furiously at him, then looked down to the end of the path to glance upon his friend, Graham.
He had stopped about 10 metres behind Damon. Graham seemed distressed, his face looked panicked. As if he were just a small hamster ready to be engulfed by the many hungry snakes around him. Damon couldn't take it. He couldn't have the catastrophic crowds startling his best friend. He turned and ran. He didn't want to see that. Darting towards the exit he pushed the mighty doors and pushed them as hard as he could. Graham stood there wordlessly, watching his best friend run away from him so suddenly.
He twiddled his thumbs nervously, the crowds of violent people diffused and resumed to what they were doing. Graham's eyes welled, he began to cry, he had no idea what had just happened. Nor did he know why the everyone around him were acting so ferocious and insulting towards Damon. His face warmed as a tear emptied from his eye, it fled quickly down his rosy cheeks, which were red from embarrassment. Wiping his tears he followed towards the same doors Damon barged through just 5 minutes ago, curiosity and questioning struck him. But Coxon ignored his questions and he slowly opened the doors, it revealed a glorious, rococo staircase.
The walls were varnished with renaissance oil paintings and glossy maroon wallpaper. It seemed larger on the inside of the school. There was 3 floors, each floor with many doors, that either lead to another hallway, lab or class. It was easy to stumble into the wrong place at Atlantorth. Despite the couple of kids in the corner smashing up cauldrons, this half of the school was empty.
Graham made his way through 5 hallways effortlessly in the silence before he made it to 4 familiar doors. It took him about 10 minutes, it normally does. With a bite of his lip, he stood before the doors, each one was designated a colour and a name - he made it to the dormitories. "Chiroptera, Insecta, Aves, Reptilia."
Graham opened the door labelled "Chiroptera", Damon's house dorm.
