Saturday. The day everybody rests from work, enjoying their day off - and I was bored out of my mind . I mean I had nothing to do , as I sit on the couch contemplating what I can do today , my mind went blank . Go to the black lake ? No it's raining . Read ? Not in the mood .
I seriously need to find new hobbies. Then an idea came to mind, how could I have not thought of it before, with the students gone , it's the perfect time to explore the castle.
I put on comfortable clothes , a warm jumper , and with a smile plastered on my face, I was off.

I decided to go to the great hall for breakfast , the students left early this morning, so it was only really the remaining staff that was here. I enter the hall and to my surprise i see Harry sitting by himself with a book in hand. I walk past him , looking at him

"Did you miss the bus" I said jokingly

He smiled "No , i didn't get my form signed , but it's no big deal " he said shrugging

"Well, that was awfully silly of you" I said , he looked at me curiously " you should've come to me , I would have had no problem in signing it for you " I tapped his shoulder

"I didn't know , but thanks , I'll remember it in future " he said with a smile

"Seeing as I've really got nothing interesting planned for the day , is there anything you need there , perhaps I can take you " I said "with permission of course "

"I don't need anything , but thanks , I think I'll keep to myself today" then he left

Strange - i thought .. Did I say something ? , well he definitely changed character throughout our conversation. I shrugged it off getting some breakfast.

Walking along passageway among passageway, I probably looked like a lost soul , wandering around the halls. I felt like a child by the maturity of the castle , it made me feel like I was so young compared to the history and the aging of it.
By this point I was on the third floor , I carried on straight from the staircase and entered a rather large hallway with many pictures on the walls. Literally from floor to ceiling was portrait pictures , mostly of men - famous wizards I presume.
On my right was a doorway, the door was open and I could hear rattling of glass coming from there. As I walked closer , it looked like a storage room of sorts. With brooms standing against the wall and cleaning detergents , lining the walls were millions of potions , all in an organized manner - name tags on each . The rattling came from non other than the potions master himself, he was on a high ladder , obviously looking for something

"Seems as though I always run into you " I said leaning against the doorframe looking up at him.

He got a massive fright , almost losing his balance, he took a while to recover " what are you doing here" he said sternly

"I was going to ask you the same thing " I said sweetly " are you looking for a potion of some sorts" desperately trying to make conversation as I had nothing else to do , but he was definitely the wrong person to talk to

He sighed " why else would I be here" he said rhetorically " if you don't mind , I'm very busy and would like to get back to work without any disruptions " going back to looking at the titles of the potions

Contemplating on whether I should leave or press the matter any further , I decided to leave - make life easier . Not too sure on what to do for the rest of the day , seeing it was only morning , but I think with an angry professor on the loose , my adventure ends for the day - i decided to go to back to my quarters , reading was in order.

I sat down on the couch , with my newly acquired book , making notes in a notebook next to me
