random Manor drabble from this month's HPDrabbletree
Devilishly frustrating, it was. You'd think that getting into a wing of your own home wouldn't be complicated, that you'd just open a door and there it was. But in a house soaked so full of magic for so long that it had developed sentience, any door could lead anywhere. Granted, most rooms didn't move around much in the South Wing, but that was only because the Manor didn't like to frustrate its owners. He leaned his head against yet another doorway that failed him.
"I just want to make sure the roof isn't leaking!" He yelled into the hallway. Hopefully the Manor would catch his intent, even if it couldn't understand his words.
