Hide and seek, or any game for that matter, wasn't exactly E's 'thing'. He would much rather be planning his next protest or circulating a petition. Unfortunately, with the castle under such tight security, his normal past times were much harder to accomplish. So instead he had somehow been convinced by some Hufflepuff, to take part in their giant game of hide and seek. E had even tried to find Grantaire to join him, but as had become usual over the last few days, he was nowhere to be found.
E was sure he knew a good place to hide, a corner that he had often ducked into before to avoid getting caught out after hours. He quickly took the stairs two at a time, landing solidly on the floor, before he ran down the hall and around the corner of the staircase. Nearly out of breath, he slipped into the shadow below the stairs.
"R?" he whispered loudly, with a smile.
"Mon coeur, I didn't know you were playing? Shall we be a team?"
