let's go on a fox hunt

Gryffindor: Guys, I have a great idea.

Hufflepuff: We’re not capturing the giant squid to see if it’s friendly.

Gryffindor: Picture this: moving staircases.

Slytherin: That seems highly impractical.

Gryffindor: The whole castle becomes a giant adventure! Forces students to explore! Stretch their nerve, take some leaps of faith!

Hufflepuff: Not literally, I hope.

Slytherin: And how do they get to their classes?

Ravenclaw: Actually, it would force the students to pay attention to their surroundings and challenge their intellect in a variety of ways.

Gryffindor: Oo! Oo! And we could put in trick steps! Steps that you fall through and get stuck unless you swing yourself over!

Hufflepuff: We are not forcing 11 year olds to migrate through a potential death trap.

Gryffindor: And we could have doors that only pretend to be doors.

Slytherin: This is senseless bravado, Godric.

Ravenclaw: Intriguing. Or maybe they only lead to the right places at certain times of the day.

Hufflepuff: Rowena, be sensible…

Gryffindor: Walls that pretend to be doors! Doors that yell at you for trying to open them! Dead ends! Secret passage ways!

Ravenclaw: We could make it a class project for students to locate and circumvent any potential obstacles in their way.

Gryffindor: A competition!

Ravenclaw: We could do the same with the rooms themselves, as well.

Gryffindor: *high fives Ravenclaw*
