Quickly, Connor whipped up his best stuffed nose and scratchy throat imitation he could muster - "Ob couse I'b sick," he began, "Can't you hear it? By fwiend is taking be to the - ack, ack Hospital Wing!!" Hopefully, with the inserts of coughs and clearing his throat, the painting would be convinced, for they quickly left and didn't say much back to the painting, in fear of waking all the other paintings up. They walked quickly on the padded carpets, and wind was blowing through some of the open windows in the walls of Hogwarts. Chills sent their familiar tingling down Connor's spine as he put more force in his walking, trying to warm himself up.
"So, how close are we to the Entrance Hall?" he whispered when they were nearing the end of the corridor. What was their destination really going to be at the Entrance Hall?

But, he'd find out when they got to their destination exactly what it was they were going to be doing. Nothing more really got in there way as they sailed silently through each corridor.
