If you really want to, but I don't know that you'll find anything good up there. Dangerous, almost certainly, but otherwise not worth keeping.

Oh, dangerous I can deal with. Malfoy Manor's like a minefield. I'm just bored and nosy.

Go ahead and look. I can't guarantee that you'll find anything interesting.

*comes back sometime later, a bit dusty and beaming, carrying a battered wooden box in her hands* There are portraits up there. One of them taught me a bunch of new French curse words when I moved it. But I found this!

What is 'this,' exactly?

[platinum-witch.livejournal.com]

Um . . . A box. It looks like it started out life as a jewelry box, but it's got all sorts of other stuff in it, too.

[siriuslydementd.livejournal.com]

Have you looked in it yet? You're treating it like it's some kind of treasure or something.

I'm a girl. If it's got shiny things in it, it is treasure. And yes, I've looked in it. I brought it down because the light's better here, and the portrait was getting annoying.
