Hey, if anyone is up for the climb, the view from the Astronomy Tower is fantastic! You can see everything from up here... whatever this country is, it's very beautiful.

It's a very strange castle, though. I don't know if I've ever seen one that's all sprawled out like this, although there's certainly enough room to fit a lot of people if there's need. I can't see any farms or houses around either, just the Quidditch field. [pentaps] For that matter, I haven't found an armory yet, but this place is so huge I'm sure it'd be easy to miss. Most of the rooms are full of desks, like a scholar's study. I can't imagine why there need to be so many. Paladin, Reed, Spear, have you seen it yet?

Oh yeah, everyone should be careful if you pass a picture of a knight. I've had this Sir Cadogan guy following me through just about every painting I've passed offering to escort my fair maidenly self on my noble quest or something.

Has anyone been a Hufflepuff yet? I like the badger and the yellow--it's very cheery!

That doesn't surprise me, somehow. I bet you look really snazzy in it!

Too bad the robes change back to our regular clothes when we leave. I wonder if we could find... I don't know, the quartermaster's office? They have to keep spare robes somewhere.

I'm sure there must be... although I'm more interested in the broomsticks. Have you tried flying on one yet?

[ruby-nova.livejournal.com]

YES. It's AWESOME. Although I nearly fell off a few times, I think I've got the hang of it now. I wanna keep it.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Me too! I think we should take them back to the Tree with us and find out if they work there too.

[ruby-nova.livejournal.com]

Let's do it! Even if they don't work, we could at least have a few spare brooms.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Yes! It's definitely worth trying at least.
