But we got no choice but to turn this bitch sideways
I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT IT’S FREAKY FRIDAY

This castle really was crazy. Desiree had heard tales about it during her time at Ilvermorny, but at the time it sounded like a load of bull. Ghosts? Moving stair cases? She hadn't believed a single word of it. That is until she saw it for herself. At first it was pretty cool, after all it was a legit castle! She had never been in a castle. In Chicago the closest thing they had was the Willis Tower, also known as the old Sear's tower. That wasn't exactly a castle... more of a high rise. But those were America's castles. This...this was nuts! And the stairs really did move here! How cool is that?! Des will tell you, not cool at all.
The first time that it had happened to her she nearly had a heart attack. She had been on the damn things when they dislodged from the wall and swung another direction. There is no amount of preparation one can do to brace for something such as that for the first time, no matter anticipated their movements were, the shock was still there. Now after months of dealing with them she sort of expected them to change on her. If they didn't she labeled herself lucky. Lord knows it was too much of a luxury around here to know where the actual hell you were going to end up.
This time she wasn't lucky. Desiree was nearly to the top of the steps too as they changed, jolting her to the left instead of the right. Where the hell were they taking her now?! They creaked slowly over to the new entrance and she hurried to get off before they changed their minds, ending up somewhere she hadn't expected at all. She was shaking slightly from the fright of them changing when she had been so sure they wouldn't. Desiree clutched the books firmly against her Slytherin robes as if they would anchor her to the ground. At least the corridors didn't move!
"Oh my GODDDD!" She growled in a horror filled frustration. This was like a freaky haunted mansion that she did NOT pay to get into. It was lucky that she wasn't going to be late for class or her frustration would have amounted to much more than just a growl. She had free time, which was now un-freed up by the fact that she needed to find a new route to her destination. She clicked her nails against her book as she regained her composure. This damn castle. Where was she, anyways?
Obviously a corridor, she looked up and down the hall, one end seemed to lead toward the Owlery by the sounds of it. The other end? Well, she would find out. She began making her way down the hall, brushing a bit of hair behind her ear as she stepped. Around the corner of the doorway she saw a few students walking around, some in groups, others alone. She recognized one, Cyrus, Caerus? Shit. There were so many weird ass names around here! "Hey," Desiree called to the boy with a friendly tone. She hurried to catch up with him her wavy hair bouncing as she trotted. "Cyrus, right? Is this the...fourth floor?" Yes, the fourth floor had the owlery....right? She hated to sound dumb about it but she was still figuring out this damn place. She sighed with a little laugh, "These stairs, amiright?" She joked, trying to hint to his stupidity.
