"Thanks?…" "you can speak Parseltongue?" " stop talking, stop talking now, you'll just make it more awkward"

Scipio nodded. "I don't do it in front of other people very often, since obviously it makes me 'evil' if I can talk to snakes. I figured you didn't really care about the stereotypes."

"Of course i didnt.." "My dad used to speak Parseltongue. Before he went to azkaban… I mean, what? n-no.. ugh…"

So I'm not the only one with a father in Azkaban? Scipio glanced back at Phoenix, but didn't mention it. "I've learned to speak it fluently, so that I can communicate with Ombra."

"i never had any pets… Dad was allergic, and well my mom passed away, so I lived at a friends house… Never a chance. But dont feel weird that im talking about my parents, even if my mom is dead. They werent nice people…" Phoenix sighs and wipes rest of the blood off her hands.

"Where the hell are we?.."

"I have no clue whether my father's alive or not, to be honest… if he is he's gone mad; not that he wasn't already." Scipio looked around the hall. "And I'm not really sure where we are. It appears to be some sort of labyrinth of secret corridors hidden beneath the school."

"Huh… never thought about the fact that my father could be dead. Not that i care…" She looks at the dust flying around the..Hall?

"By the way, sorry about the fact that im talking that much. only happens when im nervous…"

"Mm… it's not like he paid me much mind when he was home either." Ombra slithered up beside them, hissing softly. "Anyways, we're looking for whoever fell down here, right?"

"Oh, yeah. i guess.."

"Well? Know any helpful spells? You're older than I am, after all, whether I've learned higher level spells or not."

"See? in moments like these i wish i wouldve paid attention in charms… Okay let me think…" She stops and mumbles to herself.
"Honestly, i dont know what spell do we need… I think at this point its easier to yell, and see if anyone answers"

"Alright, then. Hello? Is anyone in here?" Scipio called out, his smooth voice echoing and bouncing off of the cold, stone walls.

She softly sighs and closes her eyes for a second.
"Stay calm, you're good… Everything is fiinee. sort of."
She quickly opens her eyes and takes a sniff.
"Do you smell that? Smells like blood… And it's not mine" she quickly adds.

"Yeah… might be from the rat?" Scipio offered weakly. He knew it was a lie. He of all people knew the difference between human and animal blood.

"Trust me… The thing i'm least scared of is blood…" she grins weakly.
"Should we follow the smell or… Our intuition?" Phoenix said the last word slowly.

(Yeah… we need Astra to be back)
"Well, being a Slytherin, intuition is one of the things I'm best at." Scipio muttered, looking around. After casting 'Homenum Revelio' again, he set off down the nearest corridor on their right.

After wondering the tunnels, Astra saw some light ahead and walked towards it to see a clear crystal blue lake with ice forming around the edges and crystals everywhere. "Woah." She whispered to herself, it was gorgeous.
