Which reminded him that he wanted to do that sometimes. hehe.

"HOW do we start a search mission if we don't even know WHO Sebby is." he asked. Not to mention he didn't even know what he looked like. "And uh, these daughters, are they pretty?" trying not to grin was really difficult right now. whaaaat? He would still go to the rescue mission though.... hopefully they were gonna get attacked by a troll again!

NO. King Botros' eyes lit with anger at the young man's hint about his precious daughters. "No merman is worthy of the beauty of the sea's princesses!" He spoke firmly, pointing his magical trident towards the boy. "I, hereby, forbid you from approaching my daughters un-escorted." WHERE WAS SEBASTIAN to arrest this commoner? This was a matter of life or death!

ACTUALLY. "NO ONE is allowed to approach my daughters without permission!" He stared at the general male occupants of his ~~classroom~~ castle. "Violators will be punished!" A small thunder sprang out from his trident and his the ceiling with an echoing sound. It wasn't alarming or that scary, though, just some crackling.

If only his flute was working properly! But, just maybe...

Flute in hand, The Piped Piper kicked off from the wall and swam to the throne. With an exaggerated bow, he floated in front of the man.

"I am the Pied Piper of Hamlin," he said, straightening. "My flute is at your service to lure your lost servant out of hiding. All I shall require is an engraving or charm, from such a wizard as yourself, to enhance the flute's power."

The man did claim to be not only a king, but a wizard. Certainly there was a rune that would restore the flute so he could once again charm those who listened.

Oh, Pied Piper of Hamlin! "I welcome you, a mundane visitor in our humble castle and I thank you for your kind offer for help. My trident and my magic shall aid you in the way that you wish to." Botros floated skillfully, looking nothing like the merman king he thought he was with his suit and cloak.

"If I may." He extended his trident towards the flute and started chanting loudly. "Intaglio wunjo!" A spell shot out of one of the forked end hitting the float in a small burst of magical sparkle. "wunjo wunjo wunjo, wu wa wi we wo, wun wan win wen won, wo we wi wa wu, w w w u u u n n n." As soon as he was finished, the flute was glowing fiercely, almost as much as the proud king's face.

"Uh, ..." He started and then figured maybe this was a test. Were they supposed to be like that Muggle story? Oh! He could be that guy with the black hair! What was that King's name? Maybe he should call te Professor his name.

"I, King, will find your Sebastian for you!" Chance said, 'swimming' to the .... King. He held his chest out proudly. "I am Chance.... Um... " What was a good last name for a merman? "Chance Seaweed!" Chance said proudly. "I am at your service Pro... Your Heiness!" There! Bet he would get a good grade for that brilliant role playing!

A highly mannered boy then approached the kind, and Botros stood still to listen to him. "Young sir Chance Seaweed, it is a pleasure to have you in the search party. I announce you the head of the party! My dedicated servant, Sebastian, is missing. He is about this size--" He cupped his big hand to indicate the size. "Red colored with an awfully babbling nature." That was definitely helpful. "You will be rewarded handsomely if you lead the others efficiently today." The king extended his hand to shake on it.

Apparently not all of those were from his kingdom since some of them didn't even know what Sebastian looked like. "EVERYONE PAY ATTENTION! Sebastian is my loyal servant! He's the size of your hand and red!" The fact that he was a crab should be known, the king thought. "THE PERSON TO FIND HIM WILL BE REWARDED."

Pause.

Pause.

Paaaaaause.

"WITH A DATE WITH ONE OF MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS!" There. He said it. He'd send Sebastian to spy on them, of course, but no one needed to know that yet.

SPOILER!!: Search party! :D

...........................
DORMOUSE?

Adi knew Mad Benny had been going on about him meeting the Dormouse but what he did not know was his own TOADY was the creature. Could this new Benny not see this was their and Conrad's pal? Adi EYED his bestie in the funny hat and returned the wave half heartedly. Hopefully whatever weird um, epidemic had gripped Benny would leave him soon. In the meanwhile, he trusted the boy would take care of his pet. Benny was the the most trusted person on his list. No matter if he was a bit off...
............................

WHAT? Ariel was his daughter? Did this mean he was King Triton? And Sebastian was a teeny red crab? Apparently Alexa and Kace had seen him. So did that mean they just had to recuse Sebastian from the reeds? Because he was not up for brushing anyone's hair.

"Yes, I shall look for Sebastian…" she said, just so she didn't get thrown into a Boo Box or whatever. She floated around some more. Was it too much to go get Tinkerbell/Pebbles and say that was the crab?

He clapped excitedly at the idea before grabbing a hold of the Mouse/Toad again as he threatened to drift away. Yes...yes...Dormouse was good at singing nursery rhymes. Maybe he could sing for the older man. The one who wasn't having an un-birthday yet had a very pretty seat AND making more appear out of nowhere. Maybe he could rate one when they moved around during the course of the gathering. Floating was fun...but a good, comfy seat was a nice choice alongside the floating.

"Yes....YES! It has to be SOMEONE's un-birthday!!" he exclaimed as he spun around awkwardly in the zero-gravity. The man's gaze flittered around as it tried to pick out the possible celebratory guests. But then his happy look turned shocked as the older man told news of a lost person.

Oh dear...dear me. Dear...dear...me.

"Maybe he went THIS way..." he suggested pointing one way looking at the group.

"Or THAT way..." he added pointing in the other direction with his arms crossed mixed up.

"Oh really the Cheshire Cat is much better with directions."

With some degree of difficulty Adi grabbed onto the rock in front of him and propelled himself off of it in the direction of Benny. Eeeep! This floating was so cool! Aaaah! Maybe it was too cool! He had push off the rock with a little too much strength and now he was gonna...

COLLIDE with Hatter Benny.

"Sorry, Benny.'' Gripping the other boy's shoulder, the Hufflepuff used it as leverage to straighten himself. His own shoulder sort of hurt since that was what he had crashed into Benny with directly.

"You look a little lost.'' Just look at him with his arms all crossed and that confused look on his face. "Let's go that way, yeah?'' Adi pointed straight ahead. Anyway was a good place to start. At least it would save the Lion from being lost. And hopefully stop the shouts about UnBirthdays. "Keep an eye on your dormouse.'' With that, he started towards the direction he had indicated.

Oh noooooooooooooooooooooooo. Botros is not going bonkers like Airey did yesterday, yes? Oh please, he can’t handle…what…princess? Lex? Ethan wanted to laugh real hard, because Lex isn’t the princess kind, but whatever. The Slytherin giggled as he started to ‘swim’ around the classroom pretending to look for Sebastian.

“SEBAAAAAAAAAAASTTIIIAAAAAAAAAANNN!” he said in a sing-song voice. Botros said he’s a servant so shouting his name could scare the poor thing away, because he’d know he’s in trouble, right? So yes, “SEBAAAASSTTIIIIAAAANNNN!”

Swim.Swim.Swim.

“Lex! Princess Lex? Your highness? Whatever.” He called out and sat beside her pretending to brush her hair… “What is going on? I thought Flamsteed was normal yesterday, but Botros…he’s really not okay.” And was Lex aware that he threatened Botros back in the Great Hall? He was having his dinner with Kace that time…

Oh Merlin, how embarrassing...

He'd have to look into that later. For now...he had things to do.

"SEBASTIANNNN! Where are youuuu?" he called, wondering who the heck Sebastian was and what they were going to actually end up doing in this lesson...

Frankly neither seemed appealing. Could he not just float here clinging to his rock? Please?

Of course, rock clinging was hardly the pinnacle of fun either, so perhaps he ought to... go along with this, thing that was posing as a lesson. They wouldn't be learning much about runes today, would they? This was going to be a lot like Astronomy.

...

Considering Astronomy was FUN, there was still hope that this lesson wouldn't be a waste.

"SEBASTIANNNNNN.... SEBASTIAAAAAAAAAAANNNN! WHERE AREEEE YOUUUUU?! THE PROFESSOR PERSON IS LOOKING FOR YOUUUU." He started calling out as he finally let go of the rock and uhhh.. went where the 'current' took him.

"Hey! Someone help me over look over here?!"

First off, who the heck was Sebastian and second off... If he was hiding he was probably afraid of the water or something so he probably wouldn't be here in the first place. Just saying. It was logic.

"Awesome!" he grinned at Zander. Cool Lion Dude yeah!

But their mission was still unclear. Sebastian was an unknown identity.

"So... do you know Sebastian?" he asked his accomplice. Cause frankly it was hard to SEARCH for someone you didn't know. Unless he was wearing a name badge? Or.. something? Was he just stupid and not clued into who was popular at the school?

...

SOOOOO many questions.

"SEBASTIAN!!!!"

Maybe if she helped him he would point her in the direction of the yellow brick road! She looked down at her empty basket with a smile and said, "C'mon, Toto," before drifting in the direction of a small cave and sticking her head in. "Sebastian? Aunty Em? Toto? Sebastian? Hello?" With no answer from anyone she was searching for, she drifted off to the next rock and peered under it. "Sebastian? Aunty Em? Totooooo? Sebastion?" Who was this Sebastian anyway? A good witch or a bad witch?

They really didn't need another Professor thinking he was a fairytale character though. Sure it made classes interesting and all but seriously when was it all going to stop? Hopefully no one would get hurt or anything. However at least this time it was harmless right? How much trouble could they get into looking for a crab? Or combing someones hair, not that she wanted to do that one. She'd much rather look for a crab that wasn't there.

Since she was already hanging onto one of the alcove's that just made her job a bit easier. Maybe she'd get lucky and actually find something interesting inside. Peering into the small cove thing she checked around to see if she could actually see inside of it. Sadly it was actually a bit dark and she wasn't able to see all that much... maybe someone could help her?

Was the little bugger hiding in there? Scared? What did it even have to be scared of? They were in a CLASS. And this was a BOTROS class. HELLO?!

Also. These freaking robes were starting to weigh him down. Not cool.

"Maybe if we could get some light in there we might find something." Hady suggested tilting her head at the older boy. "Do you know how to do that?" If he did know a spell or something maybe he'd be nice enough to teach it to her. A way to light up the dark was always a good thing in her opinion. It wasn't like they would actually find the crab since he was from a movie and such but it could be fun 'trying'.

AJ made a mental note not to drink from any glasses that had been left unattended. Thankfully her sister still seemed to be sane. They would just have to stick together.

It seemed that the professor was not at all worried about ancient runes, instead he wanted them to find somebody named Sebastian. Who was that? Did they get to see a picture or something? No? Okay, fine. AJ would go right on along with the weirdness. Nothing was surprising when it came to Hogwarts anymore. All she knew for sure was that she wasn't going to brush anyone's hair if she could avoid it. On that note...

"Here Sebastian, Sebastian, Sebastian..." Whoever you are. This was nuts, but the atmosphere was rocking so she would just continue to pretend as if this was all normal. For Hogwarts standards, this was pretty normal.

Do you know how hard it is to try to balance a school bag while trying to keep a skirt from rising from the lack of gravity?

Beverly didn't let that dampen her spirit. She's been on a good role ever since.....stuff happened. Instead, she took in a deep breath and decided to enjoy the lesson. Yes, this Wayne was taking the positive route.

Upon hearing the same name repeated over and over, Beverly raked her eyes around her surroundings. Who was this Sebastian? Oh, and apparently he was lost and the king--

Wait. While Professor Botros was an amazing teacher he was no king, LOL. Beverly's amusement quickly vanished. He...actually thought he was...oh no. Was that thing happening to him too? That was it. She was done with Hogwarts. She needed to talk to someone. Someone who had their marbles in order and not...not scattered.

Now they had to search for this Sebastian? BAH.

Breathe, Wayne, breathe.

Okay, okay, she was good.

Since Beverly wasn't a fan of touching, less brushing someone else's hair, she opted to look for this lost Sebastian.... Now, if only her skirt would keep from drifting different directions...

-_________-

Awkwardly maneuvering herself from one rock to another, she called out. "Sebastian! Sebaaastiiian!"

Dammit, Sebastian! Where the hell are you?

Good, good, he was satisfied to see most people floating away and calling out for Sebastian. Botros floated there, next to his throne and his princesses, watching the search. "Perhaps if you use extra light and guidance from the runes' magic!" He offered, raising his trident up in the ~~air~~ water and started chanting so that the carvings on the far walls of the ~~room~~ castle glowed with magic. "jera jera jera, j j j e e e r r r a a a, j j j j j j j j j, ju ja ji je jo, (jur jar jir jer jor), j j j e e e r r r a a a "

SPOILER!!: Princess Lex & her 'maid' :D

There was no need for him to go all out, she'd take it back if he liked so long as he stopped calling for Sebastian and...and....Princess? Show? Sisters? Sweet Merlin Lex didn't even want the one back home and he was giving her MOAR????? Nope. No. Alexa Cambridge had one sister and she was only a half sister that didn't count. No.

Quite awkwardly (thanks to the lack of gravity) Alexa made her way to one of the shells. If she'd learned one thing from the Captain Hook experience, it was that it was sometimes easier to go with it than to try convincing them they were possessed by a giggling book. It was just no use--

Hang on--delusional old man say what? Brushing their hair? Stop. The Gryffindor hardly brushed her own hair. It was a delicate balance of knots and Merlin knows what else and she didn't think she wanted anyone yanking away at her hair til it got smooth. "Maybe I can help lead the search for Sebastian." Lex offered, taking the seat directly next to him. This was hers. Yes. With any luck she could lead a group of them out here. The Kitchen was a brilliant place to be to wait out things when they went bad. "I saw him earlier...he might have gotten tied up in the reeds." Plainly, she didn't want to sit here while some idiot messed with her hair, thanks.

It looked like Lex was one of the King's 'daughters' in need of hair brushing. Letting go of the rock, she floated over to Lex. "I'll brush your hair! ...Do you have a hairbrush?" Penelope needed to talk to Lex about the people getting possessed, and also about some fliers that she had seen the headmistress taking down. "Lex, I need to talk to you after class, somewhere without possessed professors. I promise I won't brush your hair if you don't want me to." Lex would know something about all of these people who were possessed, and she could help Lex in return. Not only did Penelope know something about where Lex's wand might be, but Lex could benefit from Penelope's dislike of chocolate and love of baking things for other people. It was a win-win situation. She just had to find a time to talk to Lex when there weren't any possessed professors around. Meanwhile, Penelope was going to at least pretend to be attempting to brush Lex's hair.

No telling just yet and Lex watched the girl approach with more than a pinch of suspicion. The Gryffindor was not a dolly who needed her hair brushed, Merlin she was still trying to push pass the 'Princess' thing.

"I do not have a brush--I don't take those things around with me..." But her words trickled to a halt at the whispered explanation. There would be no Second Year--Ravenclaw at that--students messing around in her hair.

"Talking's fine. Somewhere on the grounds maybe? We'll be less likely to run into any of them." Pretty sure the king of the ocean wouldn't wanna leave his underwater dome any time soon.

Lex cleared her throat, eyeing the Professor for a moment. "No hair brushing is needed. We can search for Sebastian together." Meaning getting further from the king to avoid this tedious whispering stuff.

Ethan caught her attention with his loud shouts for the non-existent crab. She watched him flutter about in the 'water' as convincing as he could be and it actually took an extra moment to realize he was headed toward her and Penelope.

She scowled noticeably at the titles he used. "Lex. Just Lex." If she hardly wanted Head Girl, what made them think she wanted the whole frickin' nine yards? And whoa whoa whoa! Hands off the hair, pretend or not! Lex twisted in her seat to stare at him, casually pulling her hair away because no thank you. "Botros probably found this book that's been going around. You'd think people would know by now not to open it but I guess not?" She couldn't be sure. Had she known the book was pure evil--more evil than normal books, she'd have walked away.

"He'll be fine in a few days. Least he's not Hook looking to throw kids off the Astro Tower." This possessing was harmless. Luckily.

Of course, Ariel was the one to protest. Botros floated closer to her, trying to intimidate her with how big his shadow was. "No. We have sir Chance Seaweed and his search party's responsibility. You stay right here, let this lovely girl tend to your... look." He gestured to all of her with as much oppressed disgust as possible. She wasn't at all looking like King Trident's daughter. Not in this state. "You will be rewarded generously if you manage to untangle this one's hair." He smiled at the young maid warmly.

SPOILER!!: CB & her maid :D

.........

.......................

. . . . . . . .

Had he just....?

She gave Gabe a bewildered look. What was she supposed to do? Aquata was not her name, but he was definitely looking and gesturing at her; she was no princess either. Although, she couldn't say she minded being called princess. But it was definitely strange coming from the professor...

Swallowing hard, she gave Gabe another helpless look and let go of the rock. She wasn't about to defy him, no way. So she really... had no choice.

AWFUL TIMING, PROFESSOR.

Doing her little awkward doggy paddle of a swim movement, she inched toward the shell. Upon reaching it however, the girl let out a major sigh of relief as she was not sitting like there was gravity and that was very appreciated. Maybe pretending to be this Aquata girl for the time being wouldn't be so bad.

And what was this about hair brushing???

"Can't I brush my own hair?"

Merlin. Soph tried to meet Toby's gaze, her expression regretful and all sorts of concerned, and... turned her attention back to the WHOLE situation at hand. Floating. Daughters... Sebastian... shells...

Botros TOTALLY thought he was Ariel's dad, didn't he? Soph didn't remember his name at the moment, but she could PICTURE the guy's cartoon perfectly, and... pooooor, poor Botros.

"I'll brush your hair, CB," Soph offered with a cheeky grin, SO amused that her best friend had been dubbed a PRINCESS and was already floating over to her. She was gonna do it whether you liked it or not, CB. Best friend duties - it was Soph's JOB to tease her when things got weird like this. Hehe.

Oh for Posiedon's sake! Botros floated closer to Aquata's shell with a firm, disapproving look on his face. "Absolutely not, why do we have all those helpers for, then?" He gestured randomly around them. Oh look, a young girl volunteered to deal with his other difficult daughter, splendid! "Many thanks to you, maiden." He bowed, not at all bothered by the floating.

SPOILER!!: Lux & her boy-maid :D (no hairbrushes yet!)

The only problem was she wasn't sure HOW to sit on the shell because the lack of gravity kept her in the air. Biting her lip, she tried to think of something she could do with magic, but short of turning her legs into stones, she was fresh out of ideas. Since that was obviously a no go, she settled for swimming towards the seat and grabbing onto the edge of it before doing some quick manoeuvres to get herself in a sitting position while floating in the air OVER the shell. Using all of her strength and keeping her hands dug into the edge, she managed to pull herself down. Now all the had to do was keep holding on and she'd be seated.

Catching her breath, she kept hearing Professor Botros mention a Sebastian. Did this mean what she thought it meant? Was Botros King Triton?

OOOOOOH, she got to have her hair brushed. Looking around, she spotted Kace nearby. "Kace, come brush my hair. Please?" Probably was best to be polite about it. And where was Bay? She wanted her boyfriend to brush her hair too.

One of the two. She needed him to brush her hair? Right because she was one of the King's daughters. He sighed and smiled and replied, "Of course.." He floated close to her and saw her hair was a bit tangly. "Your hair does look a bit tangly.." he joked with her. "But nothing a nice hairbrush can fix.." he noticed the hairbrush was next to her and he took it. He held it and then softly began brushing her hair.

[QUOTE=Squishy;11674421]As interesting as the search for the missing Sebastian was, Lux had to admit that it was pretty nice to watch the others work from her seat on the shell. As fun as activities could be, she was feeling rather tired at the moment. Maybe she could have a nap; 'King Triton' probably wouldn't mind in the least and he didn't make her feel scared the way that 'Captian Hook' had.

Kace was brushing her hair; he was such a good friend to her. "Thank you." She did appreciate his help when he probably would much rather join in the hunt. "Have you seen Bay?" She hadn't seen him come into the class, but then so much had been happening. With people exploring everywhere he might have been in the reeds the whole time.

Oh phew! At least one of his daughters didn't throw a fuss about some hairbrushing, though he eyed the boy whom she chose to help her with her girl duties. Should he be concerned? Botros stared at them for a moment longer before he realized they had a hairbrush dilemma. "Why, you need to find a good shell to comb her hair, of course. I suggest you look over there, the sea's ground's full of useful shells." Nodnodnod. Go.

Princess?
Justine only really tolerated that nickname from Jun, and that was a very special case... She was almost about to turn tail and slip out of class, but then again, Trident's class was much calmer than Hooksteed, and the idea of playing around didn't sound so awful. Justine shrugged, how bad could it be?

Gracefully, she floated through the air toward the shell nearest Trident/Bostros and just managed to press her back into the chair enough to somewhat seem like she was sitting. Oh hey, Lux.

"Bonjour Mademoiselle Lux," Justine said, smiling at the younger girl. "This lesson is right up your alley," grin. After all, Lux was mad about The Little Mermaid.

What was that? Brush her hair? Was someone actually going to brush her hair? She wasn't sure if she liked the idea, on one hand she loved someone playing with her hair, on the other she hated most of these people, how cumbersome.

She cleared her throat. "Sire.. " - She was so not calling him daddy - "Might I brush my own hair? Some of these humans have filthy hands... " No need to use the accent, Bostros wouldn't remember any of this anyway.

Sire...? King Botros chuckled at his daughter's sense of humor-- or manners, for that matter. "Absolutely not! You bring a good point, though. May I suggest you inspecting their hands before they touch your hair? I can give them NEW HANDS if needed." He shook his trident effectively, completely serious.

SPOILER!!: Lux & Nicole ;)

"Dear Arista," He called ~~Lux~~ his daughter. "Remain seated at your shell, I'm quite sure your hair still needs more tending to. Your sister shall have her own helper." Princesses simply did not need to do any work at all. Not HIS daughters, at least, they were to sit and relax and enjoy the hair brushing.

Unless they had exams for food fighting and underwater swimming, she was going to be in serious trouble.

With a sigh, Jasmine floated over to the princess shell and sat down. Amazingly she could sit without floating away. She figured that she would just go with the flow, as long as things didn't get too crazy. Since about half the class was crazy too, what else could she do? Jasmine just sat sat back and waited to see what insanity would happen next.

“Lux, your shell is beautiful” she smiled over to her friend and winked as she knew that her friend obviously wanted to be Ariel.

She needed someone to brush her hair right? Professor Botros had said she needed her hair brushed. Wait…Coral-Bay was Aquata? Who was she then. When she heard Botros exclaim that Sebastian was missing she put on her best shocked act. “No! Sebastian? Where could he be” her hand flew over her heart as she feared he was hurt. “Father should I try and help to find him…could he be in a cave?”

“someone should brush my hair” she pouted and almost couldn’t hold back her laughter.

"WE'RE STILL SHORT THREE HELPERS OVER HERE!" He bellowed out to the general crowd. "PLEASE COME FORWARD NOW, YOUR PRINCESSES NEED YOU." They weren't less important than Sebastian, come come, people.

ooc: - Search Party: keep posting your characters looking for Sebastian (you need 5 posts for max credit), I will slip in his name in one of the posts in this thread at some time; The first person who finds him will be the winner!
- Hair Brushing: 'Princesses & Maids' should achieve at least 5 posts in order to get full credit for this lesson, have some fun and get creative, you have the liberty to do as you please, really.
- Winner of Search Part will get to date one of the 'princesses' as Botros indicated (xD), but everyone will be rewarded with house points depending on how well they interact with everyone in class and come up with ways to deal with King Botros.
- I will post again as soon as I'm needed.

Which reminded him that he wanted to do that sometimes. hehe. "HOW do we start a search mission if we don't even know WHO Sebby is." he asked. Not to mention he didn't even know what he looked like. "And uh, these daughters, are they pretty?" trying not to grin was really difficult right now. whaaaat? He would still go to the rescue mission though.... hopefully they were gonna get attacked by a troll again! NO. King Botros' eyes lit with anger at the young man's hint about his precious daughters. "No merman is worthy of the beauty of the sea's princesses!" He spoke firmly, pointing his magical trident towards the boy. "I, hereby, forbid you from approaching my daughters un-escorted." WHERE WAS SEBASTIAN to arrest this commoner? This was a matter of life or death! ACTUALLY. "NO ONE is allowed to approach my daughters without permission!" He stared at the general male occupants of his ~~classroom~~ castle. "Violators will be punished!" A small thunder sprang out from his trident and his the ceiling with an echoing sound. It wasn't alarming or that scary, though, just some crackling. Quote: Originally Posted by AmbiguouslyMe The Piper had ceased his playing at the applause of the old man. A King, it seemed.

Flute in hand, The Piped Piper kicked off from the wall and swam to the throne. With an exaggerated bow, he floated in front of the man. "I am the Pied Piper of Hamlin," he said, straightening. "My flute is at your service to lure your lost servant out of hiding. All I shall require is an engraving or charm, from such a wizard as yourself, to enhance the flute's power." The man did claim to be not only a king, but a wizard. Certainly there was a rune that would restore the flute so he could once again charm those who listened. Oh, Pied Piper of Hamlin! "I welcome you, a mundane visitor in our humble castle and I thank you for your kind offer for help. My trident and my magic shall aid you in the way that you wish to." Botros floated skillfully, looking nothing like the merman king he thought he was with his suit and cloak. "If I may." He extended his trident towards the flute and started chanting loudly. "Intaglio wunjo!" A spell shot out of one of the forked end hitting the float in a small burst of magical sparkle. "wunjo wunjo wunjo, wu wa wi we wo, wun wan win wen won, wo we wi wa wu, w w w u u u n n n." As soon as he was finished, the flute was glowing fiercely, almost as much as the proud king's face.

He could be that guy with the black hair! What was that King's name? Maybe he should call te Professor his name. "I, King, will find your Sebastian for you!" Chance said, 'swimming' to the .... King. He held his chest out proudly. "I am Chance.... Um... " What was a good last name for a merman? "Chance Seaweed!" Chance said proudly. "I am at your service Pro... Your Heiness!" There! Bet he would get a good grade for that brilliant role playing! A highly mannered boy then approached the kind, and Botros stood still to listen to him. "Young sir Chance Seaweed, it is a pleasure to have you in the search party. I announce you the head of the party! My dedicated servant, Sebastian, is missing. He is about this size--" He cupped his big hand to indicate the size. "Red colored with an awfully babbling nature." That was definitely helpful. "You will be rewarded handsomely if you lead the others efficiently today." The king extended his hand to shake on it.

He's the size of your hand and red!" The fact that he was a crab should be known, the king thought. "THE PERSON TO FIND HIM WILL BE REWARDED." Pause. Pause. Paaaaaause. "WITH A DATE WITH ONE OF MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS!" There. He said it. He'd send Sebastian to spy on them, of course, but no one needed to know that yet.

Adi knew Mad Benny had been going on about him meeting the Dormouse but what he did not know was his own TOADY was the creature. Could this new Benny not see this was their and Conrad's pal? Adi EYED his bestie in the funny hat and returned the wave half heartedly. Hopefully whatever weird um, epidemic had gripped Benny would leave him soon. In the meanwhile, he trusted the boy would take care of his pet. Benny was the the most trusted person on his list. No matter if he was a bit off... ............................ WHAT? Ariel was his daughter? Did this mean he was King Triton? And Sebastian was a teeny red crab? Apparently Alexa and Kace had seen him. So did that mean they just had to recuse Sebastian from the reeds? Because he was not up for brushing anyone's hair. Quote: Originally Posted by Harry174 Angel was totally confused about what was going on here she was a bit scared now Ben had gone mad and it seemed a few more students had already gone mad which was very bad now though she had to get into a group with some people but she had no idea who to trust this was very scary... she would normally ask Ben but she didn't want to with him acting weird.

Was it too much to go get Tinkerbell/Pebbles and say that was the crab? Quote: Originally Posted by Ginevra Not another possessed professor.

Maybe he could sing for the older man. The one who wasn't having an un-birthday yet had a very pretty seat AND making more appear out of nowhere. Maybe he could rate one when they moved around during the course of the gathering. Floating was fun...but a good, comfy seat was a nice choice alongside the floating. "Yes....YES! It has to be SOMEONE's un-birthday!!" he exclaimed as he spun around awkwardly in the zero-gravity. The man's gaze flittered around as it tried to pick out the possible celebratory guests. But then his happy look turned shocked as the older man told news of a lost person. Oh dear...dear me. Dear...dear...me. "Maybe he went THIS way..." he suggested pointing one way looking at the group. "Or THAT way..." he added pointing in the other direction with his arms crossed mixed up. "Oh really the Cheshire Cat is much better with directions." Quote: Originally Posted by FearlessLeader19 "Benny! Gus is-'' Oh goody. Benny had snatched up Guster before he could escape again. See?

He had push off the rock with a little too much strength and now he was gonna... COLLIDE with Hatter Benny. "Sorry, Benny.'' Gripping the other boy's shoulder, the Hufflepuff used it as leverage to straighten himself. His own shoulder sort of hurt since that was what he had crashed into Benny with directly. "You look a little lost.'' Just look at him with his arms all crossed and that confused look on his face. "Let's go that way, yeah?'' Adi pointed straight ahead. Anyway was a good place to start. At least it would save the Lion from being lost. And hopefully stop the shouts about UnBirthdays. "Keep an eye on your dormouse.'' With that, he started towards the direction he had indicated.

The Slytherin giggled as he started to ‘swim’ around the classroom pretending to look for Sebastian. “SEBAAAAAAAAAAASTTIIIAAAAAAAAAANNN!” he said in a sing-song voice. Botros said he’s a servant so shouting his name could scare the poor thing away, because he’d know he’s in trouble, right? So yes, “SEBAAAASSTTIIIIAAAANNNN!” Swim.Swim.Swim. “Lex! Princess Lex? Your highness? Whatever.” He called out and sat beside her pretending to brush her hair… “What is going on?

Oh Merlin, how embarrassing... He'd have to look into that later. For now...he had things to do. "SEBASTIANNNN! Where are youuuu?" he called, wondering who the heck Sebastian was and what they were going to actually end up doing in this lesson... Quote: Originally Posted by Hera Uuuhhh.... okay.

Of course, rock clinging was hardly the pinnacle of fun either, so perhaps he ought to... go along with this, thing that was posing as a lesson. They wouldn't be learning much about runes today, would they? This was going to be a lot like Astronomy. ... Considering Astronomy was FUN, there was still hope that this lesson wouldn't be a waste. "SEBASTIANNNNNN.... SEBASTIAAAAAAAAAAANNNN! WHERE AREEEE YOUUUUU?! THE PROFESSOR PERSON IS LOOKING FOR YOUUUU."

Maybe if she helped him he would point her in the direction of the yellow brick road! She looked down at her empty basket with a smile and said, "C'mon, Toto," before drifting in the direction of a small cave and sticking her head in. "Sebastian? Aunty Em? Toto? Sebastian? Hello?" With no answer from anyone she was searching for, she drifted off to the next rock and peered under it. "Sebastian? Aunty Em? Totooooo? Sebastion?" Who was this Sebastian anyway? A good witch or a bad witch? Quote: Originally Posted by SpiritWolfe Malfoy Blink. Blink. Blink.

Sure it made classes interesting and all but seriously when was it all going to stop? Hopefully no one would get hurt or anything. However at least this time it was harmless right? How much trouble could they get into looking for a crab? Or combing someones hair, not that she wanted to do that one. She'd much rather look for a crab that wasn't there. Since she was already hanging onto one of the alcove's that just made her job a bit easier. Maybe she'd get lucky and actually find something interesting inside. Peering into the small cove thing she checked around to see if she could actually see inside of it. Sadly it was actually a bit dark and she wasn't able to see all that much... maybe someone could help her? Quote: Originally Posted by hermionesclone ................ Oh? This one looked like she knew what he was doing so, Grayson swam right over towards her. "Spot anything interesting in there?" he asked, trying to peer around her at the alcove inside. Was the little bugger hiding in there? Scared? What did it even have to be scared of? They were in a CLASS. And this was a BOTROS class. HELLO?! Also. These freaking robes were starting to weigh him down. Not cool. Quote: Originally Posted by SpiritWolfe Malfoy "I'm not sure, it's kinda dark in there." She admitted moving back from the cave thing enough to see whom it was she was even speaking to. It was an older boy from her house. At least they were sticking together right? "Maybe if we could get some light in there we might find something." Hady suggested tilting her head at the older boy. "Do you know how to do that?" If he did know a spell or something maybe he'd be nice enough to teach it to her. A way to light up the dark was always a good thing in her opinion. It wasn't like they would actually find the crab since he was from a movie and such but it could be fun 'trying'. Quote: Originally Posted by PhoenixStar So apparently Benny acting weird during breakfast wasn't a one time thing. The lion was still not himself, but he waved at AJ, so AJ returned the wave. There wasn't any time to worry about his madness because it seemed like the professor was losing it too. Was there something in the pumpkin juice? AJ made a mental note not to drink from any glasses that had been left unattended. Thankfully her sister still seemed to be sane. They would just have to stick together. It seemed that the professor was not at all worried about ancient runes, instead he wanted them to find somebody named Sebastian. Who was that? Did they get to see a picture or something? No? Okay, fine. AJ would go right on along with the weirdness. Nothing was surprising when it came to Hogwarts anymore. All she knew for sure was that she wasn't going to brush anyone's hair if she could avoid it. On that note... "Here Sebastian, Sebastian, Sebastian..." Whoever you are. This was nuts, but the atmosphere was rocking so she would just continue to pretend as if this was all normal. For Hogwarts standards, this was pretty normal.

She's been on a good role ever since.....stuff happened. Instead, she took in a deep breath and decided to enjoy the lesson. Yes, this Wayne was taking the positive route. Upon hearing the same name repeated over and over, Beverly raked her eyes around her surroundings. Who was this Sebastian? Oh, and apparently he was lost and the king-- Wait. While Professor Botros was an amazing teacher he was no king, LOL. Beverly's amusement quickly vanished. He...actually thought he was...oh no. Was that thing happening to him too? That was it. She was done with Hogwarts. She needed to talk to someone. Someone who had their marbles in order and not...not scattered. Now they had to search for this Sebastian? BAH. Breathe, Wayne, breathe. Okay, okay, she was good. Since Beverly wasn't a fan of touching, less brushing someone else's hair, she opted to look for this lost Sebastian....

Dammit, Sebastian! Where the hell are you? Good, good, he was satisfied to see most people floating away and calling out for Sebastian. Botros floated there, next to his throne and his princesses, watching the search. "Perhaps if you use extra light and guidance from the runes' magic!" He offered, raising his trident up in the ~~air~~ water and started chanting so that the carvings on the far walls of the ~~room~~ castle glowed with magic.

Sweet Merlin Lex didn't even want the one back home and he was giving her MOAR????? Nope. No. Alexa Cambridge had one sister and she was only a half sister that didn't count. No. Quite awkwardly (thanks to the lack of gravity) Alexa made her way to one of the shells. If she'd learned one thing from the Captain Hook experience, it was that it was sometimes easier to go with it than to try convincing them they were possessed by a giggling book. It was just no use-- Hang on--delusional old man say what? Brushing their hair? Stop. The Gryffindor hardly brushed her own hair. It was a delicate balance of knots and Merlin knows what else and she didn't think she wanted anyone yanking away at her hair til it got smooth. "Maybe I can help lead the search for Sebastian." Lex offered, taking the seat directly next to him. This was hers. Yes. With any luck she could lead a group of them out here. The Kitchen was a brilliant place to be to wait out things when they went bad. "I saw him earlier...he might have gotten tied up in the reeds." Plainly, she didn't want to sit here while some idiot messed with her hair, thanks. Quote: Originally Posted by griffin Professor Botros was either a really good actor or possessed.

It looked like Lex was one of the King's 'daughters' in need of hair brushing. Letting go of the rock, she floated over to Lex. "I'll brush your hair! ...Do you have a hairbrush?" Penelope needed to talk to Lex about the people getting possessed, and also about some fliers that she had seen the headmistress taking down. "Lex, I need to talk to you after class, somewhere without possessed professors. I promise I won't brush your hair if you don't want me to." Lex would know something about all of these people who were possessed, and she could help Lex in return. Not only did Penelope know something about where Lex's wand might be, but Lex could benefit from Penelope's dislike of chocolate and love of baking things for other people. It was a win-win situation. She just had to find a time to talk to Lex when there weren't any possessed professors around. Meanwhile, Penelope was going to at least pretend to be attempting to brush Lex's hair. Quote: Originally Posted by DaniDiNardo Her eyes widened involuntarily at the first to ask about her hair. How fast would she have been able to say 'no' and would she seriously need to hex this one away from her? No telling just yet and Lex watched the girl approach with more than a pinch of suspicion. The Gryffindor was not a dolly who needed her hair brushed, Merlin she was still trying to push pass the 'Princess' thing. "I do not have a brush--I don't take those things around with me..." But her words trickled to a halt at the whispered explanation. There would be no Second Year--Ravenclaw at that--students messing around in her hair. "Talking's fine. Somewhere on the grounds maybe? We'll be less likely to run into any of them." Pretty sure the king of the ocean wouldn't wanna leave his underwater dome any time soon. Lex cleared her throat, eyeing the Professor for a moment. "No hair brushing is needed. We can search for Sebastian together." Meaning getting further from the king to avoid this tedious whispering stuff. Ethan caught her attention with his loud shouts for the non-existent crab. She watched him flutter about in the 'water' as convincing as he could be and it actually took an extra moment to realize he was headed toward her and Penelope. She scowled noticeably at the titles he used. "Lex. Just Lex." If she hardly wanted Head Girl, what made them think she wanted the whole frickin' nine yards? And whoa whoa whoa! Hands off the hair, pretend or not! Lex twisted in her seat to stare at him, casually pulling her hair away because no thank you. "Botros probably found this book that's been going around. You'd think people would know by now not to open it but I guess not?" She couldn't be sure. Had she known the book was pure evil--more evil than normal books, she'd have walked away. "He'll be fine in a few days. Least he's not Hook looking to throw kids off the Astro Tower." This possessing was harmless. Luckily. Of course, Ariel was the one to protest. Botros floated closer to her, trying to intimidate her with how big his shadow was. "No. We have sir Chance Seaweed and his search party's responsibility. You stay right here, let this lovely girl tend to your... look." He gestured to all of her with as much oppressed disgust as possible. She wasn't at all looking like King Trident's daughter. Not in this state. "You will be rewarded generously if you manage to untangle this one's hair." He smiled at the young maid warmly.

What was she supposed to do? Aquata was not her name, but he was definitely looking and gesturing at her; she was no princess either. Although, she couldn't say she minded being called princess. But it was definitely strange coming from the professor... Swallowing hard, she gave Gabe another helpless look and let go of the rock. She wasn't about to defy him, no way. So she really... had no choice. AWFUL TIMING, PROFESSOR. Doing her little awkward doggy paddle of a swim movement, she inched toward the shell. Upon reaching it however, the girl let out a major sigh of relief as she was not sitting like there was gravity and that was very appreciated. Maybe pretending to be this Aquata girl for the time being wouldn't be so bad. And what was this about hair brushing??? "Can't I brush my own hair?"

She was gonna do it whether you liked it or not, CB. Best friend duties - it was Soph's JOB to tease her when things got weird like this. Hehe. Oh for Posiedon's sake! Botros floated closer to Aquata's shell with a firm, disapproving look on his face. "Absolutely not, why do we have all those helpers for, then?" He gestured randomly around them.

Biting her lip, she tried to think of something she could do with magic, but short of turning her legs into stones, she was fresh out of ideas. Since that was obviously a no go, she settled for swimming towards the seat and grabbing onto the edge of it before doing some quick manoeuvres to get herself in a sitting position while floating in the air OVER the shell. Using all of her strength and keeping her hands dug into the edge, she managed to pull herself down. Now all the had to do was keep holding on and she'd be seated. Catching her breath, she kept hearing Professor Botros mention a Sebastian. Did this mean what she thought it meant? Was Botros King Triton? OOOOOOH, she got to have her hair brushed. Looking around, she spotted Kace nearby. "Kace, come brush my hair. Please?" Probably was best to be polite about it. And where was Bay? She wanted her boyfriend to brush her hair too.

He sighed and smiled and replied, "Of course.." He floated close to her and saw her hair was a bit tangly. "Your hair does look a bit tangly.." he joked with her. "But nothing a nice hairbrush can fix.." he noticed the hairbrush was next to her and he took it. He held it and then softly began brushing her hair. [QUOTE=Squishy;11674421]As interesting as the search for the missing Sebastian was, Lux had to admit that it was pretty nice to watch the others work from her seat on the shell. As fun as activities could be, she was feeling rather tired at the moment. Maybe she could have a nap; 'King Triton' probably wouldn't mind in the least and he didn't make her feel scared the way that 'Captian Hook' had. Kace was brushing her hair; he was such a good friend to her. "Thank you." She did appreciate his help when he probably would much rather join in the hunt. "Have you seen Bay?" She hadn't seen him come into the class, but then so much had been happening. With people exploring everywhere he might have been in the reeds the whole time. Oh phew! At least one of his daughters didn't throw a fuss about some hairbrushing, though he eyed the boy whom she chose to help her with her girl duties. Should he be concerned? Botros stared at them for a moment longer before he realized they had a hairbrush dilemma. "Why, you need to find a good shell to comb her hair, of course. I suggest you look over there, the sea's ground's full of useful shells." Nodnodnod. Go.

Really, were all suffering from the strange enchantment or disease? No, no it had to be an enchantment, it was always a magical mishap when Hogwarts was concerned. Princess? Justine only really tolerated that nickname from Jun, and that was a very special case... She was almost about to turn tail and slip out of class, but then again, Trident's class was much calmer than Hooksteed, and the idea of playing around didn't sound so awful. Justine shrugged, how bad could it be? Gracefully, she floated through the air toward the shell nearest Trident/Bostros and just managed to press her back into the chair enough to somewhat seem like she was sitting. Oh hey, Lux. "Bonjour Mademoiselle Lux," Justine said, smiling at the younger girl. "This lesson is right up your alley," grin. After all, Lux was mad about The Little Mermaid. What was that? Brush her hair? Was someone actually going to brush her hair? She wasn't sure if she liked the idea, on one hand she loved someone playing with her hair, on the other she hated most of these people, how cumbersome. She cleared her throat. "Sire.. " - She was so not calling him daddy - "Might I brush my own hair? Some of these humans have filthy hands... " No need to use the accent, Bostros wouldn't remember any of this anyway. Sire...? King Botros chuckled at his daughter's sense of humor-- or manners, for that matter. "Absolutely not! You bring a good point, though. May I suggest you inspecting their hands before they touch your hair? I can give them NEW HANDS if needed." He shook his trident effectively, completely serious. SPOILER!!: Lux & Nicole ;) Quote: Originally Posted by Squishy When someone took a seat by her, Lux was pleased to see that it was her friend, Justine. So they were princesses together. That was awesome in her books. "Hey, Justine! I know, I am really enjoying this. Too bad I didn't know in advance, or I would have worn my mermaid costume." She had been able to keep it after the photo shoot, but then thinking on it she realized that it was at home. Drats. The comment about dirty hands made her laugh. Justine was something else that was for sure. She'd miss her after she Graduated. "Could I brush your hair maybe?" She would do a good job. Quote: Originally Posted by nicole black Turning her attention back to the red head beside her, Justine smiled; Lux was one of the very few people Justine could honestly say she liked, which was funny considering how different their personalities were. “That is a shame, King Triton should have mentioned it in the student announcement.” Justine replied, her lips curving into a smirk. She would much rather have Lux brush her hair than any of these other messy, unpleasant people. “Would you?” What were they even supposed to use? There were no combs or brushes or anything around, did Bostros expect them to brush it with their fingers? “I don’t suppose you see any hairbrushes?” Justine joked, running a hand through her flowing hair. "Dear Arista," He called ~~Lux~~ his daughter. "Remain seated at your shell, I'm quite sure your hair still needs more tending to. Your sister shall have her own helper." Princesses simply did not need to do any work at all. Not HIS daughters, at least, they were to sit and relax and enjoy the hair brushing.

Another Professor had gone crazy and now they were in Little Mermaid-ville. Jasmine didn't know if she could take another class like Astronomy. Being a true Ravenclaw, she was a tad worried about her upcoming NEWTs. Unless they had exams for food fighting and underwater swimming, she was going to be in serious trouble. With a sigh, Jasmine floated over to the princess shell and sat down. Amazingly she could sit without floating away. She figured that she would just go with the flow, as long as things didn't get too crazy. Since about half the class was crazy too, what else could she do? Jasmine just sat sat back and waited to see what insanity would happen next.

She made her way with confidence over to the shell that he had tapped for her. “Lux, your shell is beautiful” she smiled over to her friend and winked as she knew that her friend obviously wanted to be Ariel. She needed someone to brush her hair right? Professor Botros had said she needed her hair brushed. Wait…Coral-Bay was Aquata? Who was she then. When she heard Botros exclaim that Sebastian was missing she put on her best shocked act. “No! Sebastian? Where could he be” her hand flew over her heart as she feared he was hurt. “Father should I try and help to find him…could he be in a cave?” “someone should brush my hair” she pouted and almost couldn’t hold back her laughter. "WE'RE STILL SHORT THREE HELPERS OVER HERE!" He bellowed out to the general crowd. "PLEASE COME FORWARD NOW, YOUR PRINCESSES NEED YOU." They weren't less important than Sebastian, come come, people. ooc: - Search Party: keep posting your characters looking for Sebastian (you need 5 posts for max credit), I will slip in his name in one of the posts in this thread at some time; The first person who finds him will be the winner! - Hair Brushing: 'Princesses & Maids' should achieve at least 5 posts in order to get full credit for this lesson, have some fun and get creative, you have the liberty to do as you please, really. - Winner of Search Part will get to date one of the 'princesses' as Botros indicated (xD), but everyone will be rewarded with house points depending on how well they interact with everyone in class and come up with ways to deal with King Botros. - I will post again as soon as I'm needed.
