"Think this might be a good home for old Walpurgia, if we can manage to get her off the wall?" Harry ducked out of a small storage room on the fourth floor, surfacing with a few dusty books and and a lantern that looked impossibly old. He'd been suprised, actually, that he'd been able to pick it up without it crumbling into ash. "Have to say I didn't even know this was here, despite walking past it nearly every day."
Setting the items gingerly on the floor, he glanced at the room suspiciously before sending Hermione an impish smile. Since they were finally looking into getting this place decorated differently, Harry had decided that it was as good a day as any to see what exactly they had to deal with, especially since the whole house had been stripped of any dark objects or magical booby-traps ages ago. Hermione, always curious about old things -- especially old books -- was with him, and he was glad of it.
For some of these rooms, it might be good to have someone to spot him, possibly Accio him back out if it came to it.
He chuckled as he shined his wand into the room again, finding it empty save for a few more grubby items in the corners. "Well, if it comes to it at least, here's a good place to stuff some of the old things we're replacing. I'm not altogether convinced that we'd be able to carry it out of the house completely."
