Open RP: Silas is Looooossst.

All right, Silas was used to massive cathedrals and the rambling corridors of the Opus Dei center in New York, but Hogwarts dwarfed them all in both size and sheer confusion. He'd found Ravenclaw all right, the night before, but now that he was attemtping to go anywhere else, he found himself hopelessly lost in a corridor that looked, well, like all the other corridors he'd seen. The paintings moved, and spoke, and Silas was beginning to think that if he hadn't been crazy before, he was well on the way there now.

He'd met no one so far, for which he was almost grateful--as bizarrely kind as many people had been here, he still hadn't begun to wrap his mind around just what sort of place he'd landed in. Sooner or later he had to run into someone, though, if only so they could tell him where he was, and at least try to point him back to familiar ground.

This place needs a chapel, he thought. Likely it already had one, but yet again he had to actually find it.

"How do you navigate this place? It's so vast, and I would swear the hallways shift." Silas had no idea he was right on that score. "Does it ever get easier?"

"It does, but I'm not sure I can explain how it happens," she said as they walked. "First you get down a few good landmarks, like the Great Hall or the library or your House entrance. Then at some point you realize you're not struggling to find other things anymore. It's almost like once you and this place get used to each other, the castle starts working with you."

"The castle assists you?" Silas had encountered many things he would not have believed possible, but the idea of a sentient castle was...a bit much. "I found my way to the roof (http://community.livejournal.com/hogwarts_hocus/1260531.html#cutid1) and back, but that is all I've managed so far."

"It kind of feels that way," she said. "Or at least like it's not actively trying to get in your way. I've never been on the roof - in the Astronomy Tower, but not the roof itself. The view up there is amazing, especially at sunrise."
