Great, Dramma Queen Potter to stand now, his thoughts whinned. Why didn't he stayed in the shadows enough for the people to ignore him?

He stepped out from the corner he had recently 'disappeared from' and stared, not looking particularly concerned. "You are talking to me, Potter, though I don't remember talking to you."

Not up have another round of pitiful accussations thrown at him, Nott turnd and without another world did indeed disappear from the place, down the dungeons and to the Commons. He had to retrieve his things before History of Magic.


ooc: remember - Potion and CoMC is double with Gryffindors+Slytherin, Herbology is Gryffindor+Hufflepuffs, DADA is double too but I don't know with whom, so we are saying its with Ravenclaw. The rest, you can invent. (HoM probably NOT G+S...)

Nott looked everywhere inside the commons, in his room, everywhere! He had managed to take all of his things but he still missed the most important item...

Where in Grindewald's name was his wand!

He pratically trashed the Commons in search for said item, maddening for him. Finally putting the couch pillow down again, he stopped. And breathed. And raged and punched the pillow. Great, just great! Now it was going around the place without a wand. Again, where in the name was it! It couldn't have *walked* alone, sure thing.

Shaking his head he razoned that it was not possible and looking, for the 5th time, undre the same couch. He also considered that it was History of Magic first, that which he needed no wand. Pausing and later sighing loudly, he stood, took her books and fled from the place, to HoM.


ooc: I want to make an acclaration seeing I could have been not too clear on it: You can use every other character which is not currently being played/used by another RPGer. Hence me using, say, Dumbledore and Fudge and Nott. You can use Dumbly and Fudge too Only obvious observation is not to contradict ourselves so not to cause fights (=P) but other than that, do use all of the characters that you deem needed to perform your little subplot of the RPG (your personal mystery)

Ron simply stared at Harry, at a loss as to what to do. He hadn't been right since the end of last term, but nobody, not even Ron or Hermione, were about to approach him on it. Hermione said it was best to let Harry bring it up first, and not to press him for information. Ron ended up sitting on the floor next to Harry, legs crossed.

"I donno, Harry...I guess it's all up to instinct. If it'll cheer you up tho', Malfoy's been kidnapped, so he can't cause any grief until anyone figures out why. Wish Dumbledore would've said something..."

"Oi, watch it," Gideon grunted after being plowed into once again by Nott. "'ey, you're that same bloke who crashed into me in the Sytherin common!"

Gideon had absolutely nothing to do with the aformentioned 'scene', but there was already a crowd gathering. He'd just returned from being throughly chewed up by Professor McGonagall, in better humour actually than before. He eyed Nott cautiously, with a mischevious grin on his face.

ooc: sure^^ After Draco's disappearance (a.k.a. attack in the Slytherin Commons, there are three witness with very different recounts of facts, the place is croweded by Aurors and at the Great Hall Dumbledore refuses to aknowledge there's something wrong going on), Dumbledore closes himself in his office to talk with Fudge, Destiny just outside; Gideon makes a raquet in the GreatHall; Marissa and Nott atempts a conversation and fail; Harry and Ron are planning to sneak into the Slytherin Commons and ask Hermione for help; Gideon is pulling Nott somewhere... (Re-reading the thread: "blinking bludgers"... hilarious)
Blast it we don't have separated threads for the different places, hehe.


"- you understand, that with the elections nearing."

Once the door has closed, the rest of the conversation was indeed, private. When Dumbledore and Fudge finally left the office, both were surprised to find the girl, Destiny, had not left. Fudge looked to be mutely asking for some kind of explanation with his gestures while Dumbledore, if only momentarily, had this spark in his eyes.

"Destiny," he called, leaning over as if to shake the girl awake, not that was needed, and smiled almost humored. "I must thank your patience to attend me and appologize for my delay - Fudge, if you're so kind to wait for me, I will escort you to the Entrance once I meet my appointment with Miss Melantha. I am sure you understand I cannot make her wait further and you can show the same kind of patience Destiny has shown, can you?"

Without further saying, Fudge gaping like a fish out of water, Dumbledore lead Tiny to the interior of his office before the Minister could attempt a complain. Left with nothing to do but wait, awkwardly, Fudge sat in the same couch Tiny had been minutes before, and, of course, waited.


Still rubbing his head, Nott raised one eyebrow to the Ravenclaw student and turned to where he was looking, "What's what?" he asked and before even getting an answer he was dragged by the arm and over this place -

"What --No, wait, I have classes, I can't stay--" he tried to stop the over-enthusiastic Ravenclaw but only stumbled on his own feet and reached, without a say on it, where the crowd was gathering.

When reaching this end it was quite plain what was happening. Only the Aurors telling students off because of something, they would do good not to get in the middle. On the other hand, what about? The Entrance of the Castle was being closed by a couple of busy aurors while a third waves a piece of parchement in his hand while yelling on random students. Some of the students outside were being pushed inside by said aurors and, alas, the last to come out was no other than a ruffled looking Gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid. If there was anything particularly strange in him was that Hagrid was not looking particularly offended by the Auror's rude ways. He seemed troubled by his own mind.

In other part of the castle, the Aurors were too guarding Moaning Myrtle's toilet, to the later's frutration.

"Do they have clearance for that?" Gideon asked nobody in particular. "Wha's this about now, Sirius Black or those Death Eaters on th' loose again?


Ron was steering Harry back into the Great Hall to aske Hermione about the Polyjuice Potion--actually he doubted it would work, and already he saw Hermione saying something like "honestly, it takes time!"--when he noticed Hagrid at the entrance of the castle, not to mention a good number of curious students and several harrassed Aurors.

"What now?" Ron muttered, and in a louder voice, "Hagrid! Hey, Hagrid! What's going on?"

"Do they have what?" Nott asked half heartly. He wasn't paying attention but trying to get a glimpace on the parchment on this auror's hand. When the words actually sank, Theo forgot the parchment momentarily and turned to Gideon. "Uh, I suppose so." What else was to say? He turned back at the crowd considering his second question, "I'd bet my galleons it is not Death Eaters - hey, you!"

He was calling for a random student in the crowd. He wouldn't, as would no other student for that matter, hear so Theo started towards the crowd. He tapped on this person's shoulder and asked again, "Hey, what's happening?"

The boy retreated first as if scared of Theo, then looked sideways and said, "They don't let us get out and are taking everyone at break inside again. I also heard they are closing the windows with repelling charms, it's so weird! "

Another kid, a girl, was being interrogated by her friends just besides them. "It was so scary! And what's more, there was some beast's howling in the forbiden forest, you could hear it from the Quidditch Pitch. Something big was moving the threes, I think it was trolls!"


"Eh?" Hadrid turned around to find Harry and Ron approcing him, "Oh, hi, Ron - Harry." Upon hearing Ron's question, Hagrid's bettle-like eyes opened cartoon-like and soon added, "Nothing!" He said a little too suddenly. He turned back at the tumoult and with the clear mess added, "Uh, what, this? Oh, no, don't worry. Nothing to worry... nothing is going on."

He said this but even as he continuously looked back at the Entrance, Hagrid looked nervous (and the recounts coming from the girl a couple of meters ago did not help his story). He tried smiling reassuringly at the young boys but even as he did, the so-to-be smile looked more like a grimace of pain though the thick beard, and quickly looked back at the Entrance again.


The Headmaster watched and listened to young Tiny recount her story, obviously very nervous. She still hadn't given a reason to explain her patrolling. It was true, she was made a prefect, but as such she had as much responsibilities as any other student and was not to stay out of the Common Rooms if it was not her assigned date for patrolling. But then the girl had collapsed on the chair before his and Dumbledore quieted his thought to hear. It was intriguing, this girl's actions, and so Dumbledore let several seconds pass before finally addressing the girl,

"Destiny, I would like to hear your story if you can continue, furthermore I will have to ask you to. Any information can come in handy in these times of needs, I am sure you know. I am glad you came to me to inform me better. Now please continue and I promise to listen attentively."

"Howling?" Gideon asked with interest. "Something big, eh? Repelling charms..." The boy fell into a thoughtful frown, eyebrows raised. The Ravenclaw part of his brain was beginning to turn, expecially because Hagrid looked worried--how can the same gamekeeper who made them look at Blast Ended Skewts and like them possibly be worried? Was some pinky fuzzy ball of doom threatening Hogwarts then? All the Aurors were acting up too...

"Time to use some of the ol' Gideon charm," he murmured to himself, pressing forward in the crowd to the Auror who was waving the parchment around. "'Scuze me sir, it's my cat, he's wandrin' around outside and I've got to get 'im, please let me out," Gideon said with genuine desperation written on his puppy-eyed face, and when the Auror yelled at him to get back, he flung himself onto the front of the Auror's robes. "Pleeese, I can't leave 'im outside! He's only a baby! He'll diiie!" He bawled loudly, completely without self-control, whist the students stared at him.

"Nothing eh, Hagrid?" Ron said, knowing Hagrid well enough to see through his cover up, and hearing a girl nearby dish out some gossip added, "what's howling in the forest? Is it Fluffy, maybe?" Well it sure as heck wasn't, but if Ron was right, then whatever he saw last night was still in the Forbidden Forest...wasn't Hermione coming out? She should be able to figure out head and tail of Hagrid's claim.

Just then a Ravenclaw boy threw himself on the Auror with the parchment in his (her?) hand, bawling someting about his cat. "What the--" Ron muttered in astonishment.

I think I shall take this moment to jump back into the RP ^.^

Hermione finally ambled out of the Girls Dorm, dressed in her school robes. It'd taken her a bit to find them, she realized that they'd been packed away in the back of her dressar. So much for organizational Hermione....

She strolled down the halls of the school, not feeling particularly hungry, but even so, ducking into the Great Hall. She scanned the Gryffindor Table and as she approached it, saw that neither Ron nor Harry was there. Grabbing a bagel, she asked one of the fourth year girls if she'd seen the boys.

"I believe I saw Weasley heading out side," she replied with a helpless shrug. "Don't know if Potter was with him or not."

Hermione nodded and headed back for the doors of the Great Hall, and out the Entrance of the school. Hagrid's hut. If they were anywhere, thats where they'd be.
