Several monthes ago Seth had heard a rumor from a very realiable source that there was a secret passageway that led from the empty corridor on the fifth floor down to the kitchens. He knew a lot of the passage ways and secret tunnels in Hogwarts, because when he was younger he had used to sneak out a lot. He still did, just not as frequently as he used to, because the fun had been sucked out of it a couple years ago when he realized how easy it was. He had never been caught before because he really knew his way around the castle. That was one of the benefits about secret passage ways, they provided a fast escape route when it was necessary late at night with one obscure member of Hogwart's staff hot on your heels after sneaking out. As he reached the hall way that the supposed was located in, he immediately became skeptical of it's exsistance. The whole hall way looked devoid of any secret panels. There weren't any statues down it ... or portraits for that manner. So where would the panel be that led into the whole? It had to be somewhere located in a stray brick that didn't quite fit the mold. Seth decided that since he had nothing better to do than he'd just try to look for it.
He reached a pale hand out towards the nearest stone brick located in the wall, it seemed lodged snuggly between two others and wedged between a third and a fourth. He pushed his extended palm hard into the center of it. Nothing. He tried again, still nothing. He moved onto the next and repeated the motion, still nothing. He laughed outloud looking down the wall realizing how much work this would easily be for him. He would be up to it all night. Now he just hoped that he would find it soon before anyone came along because he would look very funny pushing against the wall like he was.

The common room being filled with people chatting about something or another. Gemini decided that it was a good day to avoid going into there. At least for another few hours. It was one thing to be amonst the group of people that was chatting about something, and another thing to get caught in the cross fire. That was never good, trying to get yourself not involved was harder then anyone thought. She knew, it had happened to her a few times. Gemini had learnt from her previous experience.
Instead Gemini took to roaming the halls. There were a lot of people that would be out and about and she needed to find some dirt on them. Whether it was to laugh at them for getting slimed, or blackmail them in the furture. The thought of blackmail cause a devious smirk to form on her face. This was going to be fun, she thought to herself as she turned the corner. So far the hallways were fairly deserted. She had encountered a few first years running from Peeves a few floors back. Other then that no one was around.
Until now, as she turned the corner Gemini spotted Seth. She knotted her brows and walked closer to him. Her shoes had a silenceing spell on them so no one would hear her coming. With his back turned to her, it was easier for Gemini to sneek up on him. Coming as close as she could, it was a wonder he still hadn't noticed her. Looking over his shoulder, she found out why. He was trying to pull bricks out of the wall. That was a bit strange, she thought raising an eyebrow. She tilted her head forward more making it go slightly past his shoulder. "Find anything?" she asked him still looking at the wall. She wanted to see how he would react to her suddenly showing up.

Seth's stomach lurched forward as he felt someone immediately by his side. He had been so worked up in looking through the bricks on the wall and focusing his attention on other things that he forgot one of the most important things, what was happening in the present. He fell aside in utter surprise and fright. If he had eaten or drinken anything today than his stomach would have porribly ensured the quick flight of the process of digestion by now, but his stomach was empty. There was a shadowed feeling of needing to vomit when he saw that it was only Gemini who had scared him and not someone else. A wave of relief spread mildly over him, but it didn't do anything to help stop his racing heartbeat. Seth ran a hand through his black hair, moving the tuft that lay over his left eye momentarily before letting it fall back into place. "You just scared the shit out of me... almost." Seth informed her shaking his head, seeing that he was in no immediate danger. He was now sitting on the floor looking up towards Gemini, his hand resting on his neck a moment as he gathered his breath but not his strength. He felt like he needed to sit down for a few minutes until his heartbeat slowed back to normal. Seth shook his head at Gemini staring at her coldly for a second, an expression that seemed to demand more of why she had snuck up on him like that rather than of hate. "Don't ever do that again." Seth added threateningly, he glared at her as he pushed himself off the ground using the wall to brace himself as he got up.

Gemini couldn’t help but smirk deviously at his reaction. It was fun scaring people and the fact that she could scare Seth like that was a bonus. He was the type of person that never really scared that easily. He was always on guard. Today however had seemed he had been off guard for she was able to scare him. She watched as he slide to the ground looking like he was about to puke on her shoes. She stepped back slightly just to be on the safe side. Raising an eyebrow she looked down at him and started to sway back and forth on the bottom of her heels. “Really this is a moment that I must note.” She told him before pulling out a dark red notebook she carried with her. If anyone found this book she would have to kill them of herself. It contained everything about her, her deepest and darkest secrets. That is mainly why she always had it with her. Pulling out a self ink quill she opened it and jotted down the date, time and location of this incident. “I have to try doing that more often. Maybe next time I will succeed fully.” She added shoving the notebook back into her pocket. A frown crossed her features when he told her to never do that again. “But Sethy, that’s not fair, I want to fully scare the crap out of you.” She told him still pouting with puppy dog eyes. She did that a lot when she wanted something. It always went well with her father. He didn’t seem to be able to resist that from her.

As Seth slinked his hand up the wall pushing himself upward his hand fell on a peculiar looking stone. He didn't see it at first because he was too far focused on what Gemini had just said to really look at it. Seth's weight was still being pushed against the ground because he had yet to really stand up. "You really don't want to do that." Seth replied bitterly as he tried to reach for the notebook but missed. His hand swipped the air between him and Gemini she had moved further away from him when he looked as if he needed to puke and he had recognized it. He glared at her through the corner of his eyes, her next remark and look nearly made him emit a cold laugh. He was upset at being scared, but his calm nature was quick to return because that was just the way he was. "Only in your..." Seth begun to reply but he never finished his sentence because at that moment he had placed all his weight on the single weird-looking brick which had given way into the wall creating a loud creaking noise. The wall beside the brick went in and slide aside. Seth blinked, half his arm devoured in a hole that he couldn't believe exsisted. He had almost cried out in surprise, but he had been able to hold his tongue.
Seth glared at Gemini for a moment wide-eyed before examining the passage. "Wholy shit." He said quickly. He had found it, so it had been true. And all thanks to Gemini, he still wanted to kill her finding the passage hadn't really changed anything. Maybe killing her was going a little overboard, but he wanted to hurt her. It was a pity that he didn't hit girls, she would probably be his first target. Seth removed his arm from the brick which was now slowly popping back up in the wall emitting a large amount of dust and ground stone into the air.

Gemini moved back when he tried to grab her notebook. He was the only person so far that knew she had one. He didn't know what was in it except for documented proof that she had scared Seth. This was one of those moments that someone would remember for a long time. She was glad she had documented it. After pocketing her notebook she continued to smile at Seth, knowing how much it was killing him to know she had been able to scare him. She was about to say something when a weird noice behind Seth distracted her. Looking behind him she saw that his hand was pushed in through a hole. She wondered where that had come from. "Umm Seth, mind if I ask whats that?" she asked pointing to the hole and his hand.
