Default Prefects' Bathroom


As you walk along the fifth-floor corridor and pass by a statue of a man with his gloves on the wrong hands, you see a series of identical-looking doors. The fourth door to the left of the statue looks no different from the rest. However, those that try it will find that they cannot open the door. A simple Alohomora will not make the door budge, so carry on with the rest of your day ... unless you happen to know the password, of course.

Only prefects and Quidditch captains know the password (Squeaky Clean) to get this door to creak open and reveal a shiny marble-floored bathroom. Toilet stalls and a shelf containing towels and swimwear take up one side of the room whereas the other contains a set of couches, a coffee table, and a wizarding wireless. Many, however, often find themselves heading straight for the enormous, swimming pool-like tub in the centre of the room. The large tub fills up remarkably fast due to the many taps surrounding it. If you plan on staying here for a while, you might as well add some bubbles.

Don't mind the portrait of the mermaid -- she just likes showing off and flirting with the boys.

Oh, how we drift away from our friends. And the ones back home play remember when

Daisy was mentally chastising herself and she made her way to the Prefect's Bathroom and quietly spoke the password. She entered the bathroom and began to wring her hands together. How she wished that she could go back in time and act differently to how she did in Charms. She honestly thought that the abundance of Cardens was part of the lesson, to begin with.

She paced around the bathroom as she awaited her fellow Prefects and the Headmaster to arrive. She loved being a Prefect and didn't want to lose her badge. Daisy shuddered as she imagined the look of hurt and disappointment on her mother and aunt's faces.

After what had happened in class earlier that week with the polyjuice potion, Jackson was not in the least bit surprised that some kind of action was being taken. He arrived at the Prefect's bathroom... since apparently, that was the best place to meet. As he entered the room, he saw Daisy had already arrived. "Hey," he greeted her with a smile. He didn't know her too well, but they had had plenty of Prefect meetings and patrols.

Daisy was looking around when she spotted Jackson making his way inside. She gave him a small smile and spoke, "Hey, Jackson. I wonder when everyone else will show up." She sighed in nervousness. "I'm sure it will be in next to no time."

Max was a huge fan of the Prefect's bathroom, it was a great place to go and hide out and make epic bubble beards. In fact, apart from being able to confiscate chocolate from little kids in the corridors, it was one of the only good things about owning the Prefect badge.

It was a GREAT bathroom, okay?

It was also a really weird place to hold a meeting.

Weird but also kind of convenient and when Max turned up, he came with a fluffy towel slung over one shoulder.

Five floors meant a lot of stairs so despite the bizarre location, it was kind of a win-win. Hopefully, this'd be fast.

Natalie entered the room, looking a little glum. She had a few reasons behind it, but most of all, she was disappointed that one of the first times she got to use the Prefect's Bathroom was because they were all being summoned to a meeting by the Headmaster that would undoubtedly be a chastising party.

Honestly she was kind of scared for Max, though. Would he get in the most trouble? It really didn't seem like he was a part of it... She was curious to see how Derf looked, though, since he was the one who went and tattled informed the Headmaster.

Arms crossed, Natalie stood by Max, noticing his towel. "Really?" she asked, in her usual tone. The one that Max didn't like because she was ruining his fun (as usual).

astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf

S I G H.

It felt like the entire school hated him and it hurt, you know? But as the seventh year dragged his feet towards the Prefects' Bathroom he couldn't help but wonder if it made him a bad person in that he didn't feel bad about the act itself of informing the Headmaster. All actions had consequences, it was like Muggle physics in that sense, and he knew that. He knew getting people in trouble would earn him glares - though he had not counted on Zoryn completely killing him off in her mind. But the thing was, or maybe it was what he told himself to sleep at night, that Zoryn and the other made the choice to do this. To rob Maxton of his own body, you know? And that...as Derf had learned properly thanks to Levi Kenning...was a truly heinous offense.

Not to mention somewhat unwittingly taking advantage of Professor Dopple who had been utterly oblivious despite Derf's blatantly inquiring.

Derf had hated polyjuice potion since his third year. Last term and this term only engraved this emotion further into his heart.

So, there was a bit of confidence about him as he entered despite the solemn look on his face. Moral high horse or not, Derf was not ashamed of his choice and would do it again in a hummingbird's heartbeat if another situation like it arose again.

"Hey," he offered the room at large with a small wave and violent ruffle of the hair before swiftly making his way over to the couch, slightly away from the other four, and then...leaned against the arm. He didn't too much feel like sitting.

Charms had been… if she was completely honest with herself, Stasya wasn’t sure what the lesson had been like. Between the heat, the obvious question as to how aware the professor was about what was happening in her own classroom, Zoryn’s little Polyjuice stunt and the obvious animosity towards Derf now. When her own opinion was that he’d done what he ought to have done, and she also was concerned about what Max’s feelings over the whole situation were. It had to have been even weirder for him to see clones of himself than it had been for her to witness. Either way, she didn’t blame the headmaster one bit for wanting to talk to them all.

Except for the fact she clearly remembered the notebooks being left for them in the very same prefect’s bathroom last term and she really didn’t want to go back to that whole situation.

She was trying to stay positive, though, as she’d slipped inside the room shortly after Derf. Giving a smile toward the others already gathered, she headed over to a seat on the couch. “Hi everyone.” Solidarity. Mhm.

Here was an ethical dilemma for a girl like Chloe Kettleburn. She hated to disagree when it was easier to agree. She preferred obeying authority and respecting her elders. And yet the Headmaster (and Derf) were being totally unreasonable. So where was the line between civil disobedience and straight up disobedience? And was the prefect bath the place for either?

All questions were moot when Chloe saw the LOOK on Derfy's face, and she gave him a playful eyeroll as she opted to seat herself on the couch beside Stas. "Stay frosty, Derfy. You're the only one he likes today." And frankly, Chloe wasn't interested in losing her badge over a prank, so maybe shutting up and taking the punishment was the order of the day. She scratched the inside of her elbow vigorously and turned her face to the door, ready for whatever it was that the Headman was going to say. Readyish, at least.

Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

It'd been nearly a week of searching and he still couldn't find the package from his wife. It was driving him wild. Perhaps it wouldn't be this maddening if he'd gotten to open and get a look at things inside. Now he'd never know what Tally and the kids had sent. He supposed he could ask via the mirror but he wanted to keep searching a bit longer before going that route.

Right now he had prefects to straighten out, and potentially replace. It was on them really, he was only here to ensure everyone was on the same page. That Charms lesson had caused him to believe otherwise, all except the Head Boy.

Barely in the room and his brows were already rising at Tree Boy's towel. Merlin's beard was there nothing this boy took seriously? Nothing at all?

"Stow the towel til we're done, Carden." This was a place of leisure but it wasn't the occasion.

"Now I wanted to...." Huh? "You alright Kettleburn?" She was...itching up a storm over there and it was starting to make him feel itchy. Did she need to be excused and was this contagious? The man wasn't...trying...to get kid germs.....sorry. Um. Right. Meeting.

"I'm sure you've all been briefed on what's expected as a student leader and, to at least a small extent, know what you're meant to be doing. No need to go over that bit. I'd like each of you to tell me why it wasn't okay to sit through the lesson and let the chaos go unreported." Head Boy too. He could tell them all why he did.

Daisy took a few moments to collect her thoughts and then spoke. "I showed lack of responsibility and that is something I shouldn't have done. I should have remembered when a Death Eater disguised himself as a Hogwarts professor using a Polyjuice Potion many, many years ago. The outcome of the chaos that occurred in the Charms lesson could have been...dangerous. Potentially risking the lives of my classmates, Professor Dopple and yourself, Headmaster was something I deeply regret."

She paused a gave the Headmaster an apologetic look, her face crestfallen.

...... what?

Max pulled a face at Natalie and was about to offer her some kind of smart alec response (as usual) but Headmaster Trent interrupted before he had the chance. He had the feeling the new bloke in charge didn't like him very much but had no clue as to WHY. He hadn't done anything wrong. He'd been the VICTIM here!

And now they had to stand through a whole lecture about responsibility and expectations and leadership and ughhh, sorry Derf, but this was all your fault. Max didn't begrudge the Hufflepuff for grassing on everyone, he was just annoyed that it had resulted in THIS.

He had a very valid reason for staying quiet during the whole Charms debacle though and Max waved an arm in the air, fumbling and dropping his towel in the process. Did that count as stowed?

"I thought it was all in my imagination, sir." It was partly true at least. Because he had at first.....

Default let me just pretend Abra was already here whoops
Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight

Abra was uncomfortable. Physically, emotionally, generally. He didn't want to be here, but he had to be, obviously. It was taking a lot of his willpower not to hold his hand over his prefect badge as though to guard it from being taken away.

And, actually, Abra wasn't even mad at Derf for getting them into this situation. Maybe a little upset, sure, but that was natural. Mostly he was mad at the people who had pulled such a prank right in front of him and the other prefects, so nobody had any excuse for not reporting it. Abra had to be honest, if, in the future, it came down to either ruining someone's fun or losing his badge (assuming he kept his badge today), then he was going to be chief killjoy.

"Because it was clearly polyjuice potion, and it's mega dangerous for that to be hanging around the castle," Abra chimed in. It didn't take much thought to provide an answer; he'd been thinking about it since the actual Charms class. "And there's all kinds of moral implications of using it too, aside from it being against school rules." He did consider, just for a moment, pointing out that he hadn't wanted to undermine a professor's authority by leaving the class to fetch the headmaster, but given Dopple had so clearly not realised what was going on, Abra decided it was probably best to stay quiet on that one.

astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf

...stay frosty?

Derf didn't even have time to process what that could possibly mean when Chloe spoke to him. "....it's not about being liked..." he mumbled to himself while scratching the back of his hand. It was...but it wasn't. And it wasn't about buttering up and brown nosing to the new headmaster, though he was certain some must have assumed that was what he was doing.

Though the seventh year almost felt his breath catch in his chest when the headmaster made his entrance. At least this was getting started so that it could be over.

Maxton's response didn't surprise him too much. It had been very apparent that the Slytherin had no idea what was going on. Daisy's was...surprisingly dark - and people called him the conspiracy theorist! - though still played to the dangers of polyjuice potion. And love potions, for that matter. Abey was touching on things he had been feeling too...and things he would elaborate on. Not...to defend his decision, per say.

Always caught up on precise language, Derf wasn't entirely sure whether or not he was meant to answer since, er, he hadn't sat there and had gotten up to leave...but also just sitting here in silence was uncomfortable. So...speaking it was.

So..um...up went his hand? Yes. And, as always, the Hufflepuff was going to be a bit long winded.

"....I used polyjuice potion once. Tricked my dad into helping me brew it my third year and used it to change into an older student because...well...no. The because doesn't really matter because I shouldn't have do it anyway..." He began, prefacing his explanation with a story that he wasn't ashamed to share. Not now anyway. He wasn't that same kid anymore. So people could understand there was more to this than just some bloke trying to crush people's so-called fun and be a stickler for rules. "...while I was polyjuiced as them...things happened. An older girl who fancied the bloke I was walking around as kissed me. I did things out of character for the person I was pretending to be...and then they found out. And they were furious...it was...a terrifying experience having them talk to me about why..." Derf, when he reflected on this later, would be proud of himself for speaking in such a steady tone. "Consent. That was the lesson I learned that day. For, what I thought was a little bit of fun, I had robbed someone else of their own body...stolen their identity...stolen their free will...and that's all I could see happening in Charms class. Not once...but several times...and people finding that amusing..." He swallowed somewhat thickly. "Professor Dopple...didn't even seem to notice things...not even after I asked her directly. Maxton...clearly was not in the know...there was no way I could just sit through class like that. On top of polyjuice potion morals...it was distracting having multiple Maxtons...attentions everywhere divided...which is also disrespectful to Professor Dopple who is trying to instruct us..."

Aaaaaaaaand he was going to stop talking now. Yes.

She did have a problem, yes, and all Chloe could do was sit on her hands in order to give the Headmaster the attention he deserved. But her arm suddenly felt like FIRE and she wondered if she was allergic to one of the soaps in here. First the hay, and now the soap? Merlin, she was falling apart.

But sitting on her hands meant she couldn't cross her arms and look belligerent, which was a point in her favor at this moment. It helped to hear what Derf had to say, to understand his perspective, but it would have been better to have heard from the Headmaster. His perspective. At the start of term. Because that was the problem here, they were three Heads into their school careers and the carpet was constantly being pulled from under their feet. What was acceptable. What was expected. It was a mess.

"Sir. I take full responsibility for not taking the situation at face value and seeking help. I acknowledge that I was too quick to believe that Professor Dopple had the situation in hand and I didn't want to offend her. And, I don't want to make excuses, because I was definitely in the wrong, but I think we're all suffering a little from PTSD after last term. It's hard to know when we're meant to be quiet and when we're meant to follow rules that we don't even know we're not following. Everything feels like a trap." She shuddered, freeing up a hand that began to scratch at her neck, leaving red fingernail impressions. "I appreciate you telling us where you stand like this. It honestly makes things a lot easier."

Everything since that disastrous lesson had just made Stasya feel like she was letting people down. She was letting Professor Wayland down, Professor Marchand, former Headmistress Hawthorne…it was obvious the headmaster felt like they had all let him down. She hadn’t even needed to hear the tone of his voice as he’d brought the meeting to a start to understand that. All 6that was left was for her to not let herself end up back in the mindset she had been in during nearly all of last term. Terrified of breathing wrong, let alone all the other situations she’d felt wrong about back then. There was some sort of irony in the fact she hadn’t actually been worried that she’d lose her badge until now. There had to be. She’d survived last term, and now her distraction and near heatstroke from Charms was threatening to do what Scrimgeour hadn’t.

On that note, she hadn’t felt guilty over letting several of the others answer before her, as it had given her the chance to try and decide on how exactly she ought to respond. Plus, listening to the others had clarified several things. Max honestly hadn’t been aware of the whole thing, and Derf really did have his reasons for being the only one of them who had left. She had been right in that regard, anyway. And also, Chloe had pointed out the other reason she had balked.

“It wasn’t right because it’s our job to make sure that things like that aren't happening. Violating people’s identity, breaking rules that have been around for a long time… all of that, and especially when the violated person in question was right there and unable to do anything about it either. Because it’s obvious now it was some sort of prank, and there’s no part of that that’s right. In all honesty, I hadn’t acted at first because I wasn’t sure if Professor Dopple was aware of the situation so I sort of expected her to say something, and I was more concerned with not dying from heatstroke,” but since it had been apparent that the Charms professor hadn’t thought that they all had been miserable in the heat, it was just as obvious expecting her to have noticed the Polyjuiced people wasn’t an excuse, “but also, like Chloe said, after last term it’s hard to exactly know anything. Sometimes last term it felt like we were expected to make offenses appear out of nowhere just to make the headmaster happy, and sometimes things we hadn’t thought were offenses before last term suddenly were?”

She paused for a moment, knowing the last part hadn’t sounded nearly as confident as the first words she had said. “I do feel better knowing where we stand. And I hope that I’ll be given the chance to show I mean that.” Preferably without having to carry around a charmed notebook strictly to write offenses into.

Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

...

....

Wow he regretted that question. Wow he shouldn't have asked. Wow this taught him a lot more about his student leaders than he'd known when he walked in and now he didn't know where to start. Tree Boy....he didn't bother trying to understand. The boy didn't seem observant, he didn't seem bright and he lacked initiative. The man wondered who'd given him a badge but this was not the time.

Then there were the Hufflepuffs...Merlin's beard they both rambled, with Swann taking on a whole other level of worst case scenario. It wasn't bad per say, it was good she was thinking and realized how much this could spiral. On that note, it was good Ashburry-Hawthorne and Botros understood the dangers, and good that Kettleburn was taking responsibility for her actions or lack there of.

He supposed overall, he couldn't complain about the responses he'd gotten. They'd just taken him a little off guard--some of them. "You're all more or less correct in saying it was obvious rule breaking and that needs to be addressed. It's an important point we'll circle back to while I further get us on the same page like Kettleburn has aske--no really, are you okay?" She looked....almost uncomfortable. "Perhaps a trip to the healer at some point?"

For now he'd continue on. "I understand the last term was confusing, but that's about where I stop accepting that as reason to not to report. By your own words, you all understood that it was blatant rule breaking. As prefects, it's your job to put an end to it." This he directed mostly at the Gryffindor, female Prefect. He couldn't agree with what she'd said. "None of you had to make up offenses out of thin air. Polyjuice is against school rules. It's a hard rule, no compromising on it. It already exists. No one should have to tell you it's not allowed. You shouldn't sit in your seat contemplating if it was okay to have it there or not. It's not something that you didn't think was an offense and didn't know where the rules on it stand."

The previous term was hard from what he'd heard. Lots of militant crazies. It half made him wonder why ALL of them hadn't been beating down his door (figuratively) to report so they could avoid trouble. "None of you are, at the moment in trouble. It's good we're having this meeting to clear the air. Let me get to it, as I can tell Carden had other plans." Honestly, kid. "This is what I expect: I won't be, by any means, on the same level as the former Headmaster. I won't go crazy and won't have the lot of you constantly on your toes but in return, I expect you to do your jobs. This means if you see something, you think like a prefect and end it. No "well I don't wanna be that guy so I'll leave". No "it's just harmless fun, so what if a rule gets broken?" Just put an end to it. Personally, I find it irresponsible to get caught if you decide to break rules, so when you see it it shouldn't be rewarded with a blind eye. I won't force any of you to keep your badges. It's a fresh start and I want it to be the right start. My rules are simple, you know the rules, enforce them. If you don't want to, hand me your badge now and be done with it. I won't have space holder Prefects. I won't have badge hogs who keep it but don't do what's expected."

With that, he silently extended his hand to collect. "If you keep that badge, you'll have to do as I've outlined, no questions asked."

Oh, how we drift away from our friends. And the ones back home play remember when

Daisy bit her lip and listened quietly and attentively to the Headmaster's words, feeling ashamed of herself. She knew that this was her first and final warning. She was determined to prove that she would not make the same erroneous move again. When the Headmaster outstretched his hand, the Hufflepuff Prefect spoke. "Headmaster, I am going to perform my duty as Prefect as expected. Let me prove to you that I am a responsible student leader."

Abra shifted uncomfortably from foot to foot. That comment about being a badge hog was definitely bringing a little colour to his cheeks, try as he might to make it stop. He understood what the Headmaster was saying, that was what made it so difficult. It all made sense and was making him feel bad for not having done his job, for trying to think up excuses, and all the rest.

That said, he was still plenty annoyed at those who had played the prank in a classroom, of all places, but that was neither here nor there.

"I'll do my job, sir," he said quietly, in response to... all of that. Then, for about half a moment, Abra opened his mouth to ask about what-if-a-professor-is-already-there, but then decided that if such an event occurred, he'd just work out it out for himself, and closed his mouth again. Every way he thought of phrasing it sounded like he was giving attitude either to the headmaster or to Derf, and he wanted to avoid both of those things, as neither was his intention. Best to just shut up, really.

It was the SECOND time the Headmaster had asked Chloe if she was okay, and this time Max couldn't help but peek over at her. Did she have some kind of skin infection or something?? He was so busy staring at her and all her itchy business or whatever it was that he barely even registered what Trent was saying.

A whole bunch of yada yada yada it sounded like.

But ew, he hoped whatever was going on with Chloe wasn't contagious or something. He absent-mindedly scratched at the back of his own neck before bending down to retrieve his towel. Good thing he was hanging around for a bath after this, huh? Gross.

He turned his attention back to the 'meeting' just in time to hear Daisy and Abra making some sort of declaration about doing their jobs and Max nodded along, figuring that he ought to be doing the same thing.

"Yes, Sir. Me too. What they just said."

Yep yep.

Natalie had been quiet since the Headmaster had arrived. She had sort of been slightly afraid of him, but it was mostly because she didn't know HOW he was as a headmaster. If he had been anything like the previous one, she would have been quaking in her socks. Luckily, as it went on, she discovered that he was much more reasonable.

She HAD been thinking of a response to say to his initial question, but he moved on before she could add her input. She was too slow, anyway.

She did feel a little bad when he went onto chastise them. She KNEW it had been wrong, but she had been afraid to go report it. She did want to seem... "cool", after all. But now she knew it was simply unacceptable. And she wouldn't do it again.

So, when he held his hand out for any badges, Natalie stood up a little straighter and left hers pinned to her sweater. "I'll do my job, sir." No doubt about it.

As Headmaster Trent had started speaking nearly moments after she’d stopped talking, Stasya had only gotten that much more self-conscious over what she’d said. Mostly, that she hadn’t made it clear that she didn’t think he was trying to convince them to imagine offenses that weren’t there. It was all that the previous headmaster had seen things that, before last term, hadn’t been offenses, like greeting the professors or having a snack in their bags for if they were hungry and couldn’t get down to the kitchens to eat there. That visiting the barns without an animal abuser present was against the rules. It wasn’t about the Polyjuice anymore in her mind.

She knew the potion was wrong. For that matter, using any potion without the approval of the Potions professor, at least, was likely frowned upon, and she felt like her and Abra were under more scrutiny than the others if her possibly crazy theory about the offenders in this case were correct and it was stressful. All she wanted was to prove herself to be deserving of what she was given. Since she’d long decided that Professor Hirsch had been correct and doing things only to make others proud wasn’t enough. She needed this for herself.

“I’ll do my job, headmaster.” She thought she’d already sort of said that, but she’d repeat it.

No. No, she was NOT okay. But yes, she could follow the Headmaster's rules and punish the rulebreakers and toe the line. It wasn't like she'd planned to actively ignore the rulebreakers, but Chloe has envisioned her Head Girl-ship as being more warm and fuzzy and helping people and making sure everyone knew they were safe enough to learn.

But she could do it this way too.

"As you say, sir. But some of us are Ravenclaws, so the 'no questions' will be particularly difficult," Chloe offered him a small smile, although she was now scratching her elbow again.

Derf couldn't help but smile over at Chloe as she spoke, particularly to the bit about feeling trapped and confused because...well...that was sort of this Hufflepuff's life story. And he wanted to elaborate on that or even ask a few questions. Questions that particularly related to polyjuice potion and accountability. But also...the seventh year knew it was not his place to ask the headmaster what was or had been done about THAT. It seemed like...everyone was being granted a clean slate of sorts - which was a thought confirmed a hot minute later by the headmaster himself. And, well, Derf supposed he could support and appreciate that.

Even if it still made him tip toe into his room overly cautiously and only change behind closed curtains.

And he wasn't sure that he needed to give the headmaster more verbal confirmation that...he would do his job. Though this instance, this polyjuice instance, badge or not...he would have reacted the same. And he got to thinking how disheartening it would have been were he a peer feeling the things he did...and to have none of the student leaders acting. How unsupported that must feel.

"....you know where I stand, headmaster," he offered firmly, still leaning against that couch with his arms folded across his chest. Feeling the complete opposite of the cool guy pose he was presently standing in.

Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

Even with the way the students had, for one reason or another, decided to shirk their duties earlier in the week, it didn't surprise him to hear that they were willing to do their job. Malachi nodded along as each confirmed, the faintest smile appearing at Kettleburn's words.

It was replaced by a slight grimace at the continued itching that turned into a full grimace at the Slytherin male prefect. Why was it always him? What was with him?

The Headmaster fixed him with an unimpressed look. "Not this time, Carden. I wanna hear you say what you intend to do, as the others have done. Are you willing to do the job the badge entails or will you hand it over to me? Will you address issues when they arise and act like a student leader is meant to or will this be your last trip to the prefect bathroom? Do you understand that you will be held accountable should you fail to do everything I outlined?"

At that he looked to Thomas. The boy had been quiet. Was he considering giving his badge back?

"This goes for all of you. Keeping those badges on your chest make you accountable. If things happen and I find out you failed to act without good reason, you'll be in hot water too. I'm not saying you'll always have the answer, but try. You know what's expected. Act within those lines then, even if you fail, at least you'll have tried."

He kept his hand extended, waiting for both the Ravenclaw and Slytherin male Prefects to give their answer. To the rest however, "Each Head of House will be needing your help. The polyjuice miscreants have been confined to their common rooms outside of classes and meals for the month. This mostly affects the Gryffindor Prefects, the Ravenclaw ones too, but you'll all be expected to ensure this is enforced. Accompany them to meals, escort them back to their common rooms. Their privileges have been revoked til the end of the month. Understood?"
