"Joy, now I don't need to do maths." Lainey replied, shrugging and finishing the toast. Watching everyone, she grinned. "Who do you think's going next? I'd say... Maybe..." Her eyes scanned the staff table, glitter eyeliner sparkling in the dim light as she checked, "The potions master?" she suggested, reaching for a glass of orange juice without looking.

"Oh, 'interact' we sure have learned well," smirked Vianna before picking up her fork and knife for a second attempt at eating peacefully before something went and ruined her appetite once more. "You have a free period now, don't you?" she suddenly asked, turning to her brother.

Vince gave his sister a knowing look. "No. I don't."

Vianna rolled her eyes. "Yes you do, and I'm skipping Potions with you whether you like it or not. We could try stalking a teacher and see how they get kidnapped."

"Oh yes, Vianna, because I'm just dying to waste my time stalking teachers," replied Vince sarcastically. "Sorry, but I've got better things to do."

"Snogging, pranking, or broom-racing are not 'better things to do,'" said Vianna, shooting her brother a narrow-eyed look. "Well, maybe that last one is... I haven't had a good race in a while..."

Peter looked over to Elijah. he could see that this either upset him or something which was to be expected seeing as how it really wasn't good news. "Thats what I've heard. Hopefully he'll turn up though" Peter said with a soft shrug.

He then turned to lainey. "I'm not sure. Why is that like your least favorite subject or something" He said with a smile. She seemed not to be too worried about this at all. Most everyone else sure did though. Then again this was Lainey. "Oh and before I forget, tomorrow you owe me piece of toast" He said with a small laugh and looked back to her.

"All of those things sound much better than following a teacher around," said Brant. "They're so boring. All they ever do is . . . grade papers and think of ways to make us miserable. I don't need to follow them." Nor was Brant the most graceful of human beings.

"Not that she invited you to go around and stalk the professors," said Raquel. "I don't think she was talking to you."

Vianna shrugged. "If he wanted to come that'd be all right, I guess," she said. A smirk suddenly curved the corners of her lips as she dropped her fork for the third time that morning and asked, "Do you guys like broom-racing?"

"All right, I'm in," said Vince suddenly at what he considered a proposal to a race. Addicts, those Vincenzis were.

"If I win the race, we'll go with my plan. If I lose, then... we'll do whatever the winner wants to do," said Vianna.

Mids shook her head, smiling softly. “Ah, sometimes I wonder if anyone was ever in the right universe to begin with.” She glanced over at Lainey with a smirk. Hearing all the talk of disappearing teachers only led to the smirk growing as she thought about it. What fun! She settled back into her seat, listening quietly.

Lainey giggled. "Not really. I just don't like the guy." She replied, smudging her glitter-liner so the glitter and the shiny-ness transferred to her eyelids, making her black eyeslook even jet-blacker. The neon eyeshadow made the glitter look colorful and now her eyes looked really black. Very dramatic. When he noted that he owed him toast, she laughed. Sticking a piece of toast in her mouth, she managed to say, "Dare oo- to a gam o- 'eat fasthr'." She giggled, trying not to spray crumbs.

Elijah relaxed a bit hearing Peter's reply. The teacher's disappearance hadn't been confirmed yet; it was still just rumored at this point. At least Peter seemed hopeful that he might show up. He'd have to keep an eye out for him. As Elijah glanced around at the others he couldn't help but notice how nearly everyone else seemed to shrug off this news. He rolled his eyes and turned back to his book, carefully listening in on nearby conversation, hoping to hear something of use to him.

"I'll join," said Raquel with a grin. She loved Quidditch just as much as the next person. Probably even more. Quidditch was the one thing that was hers. In her family of ten brothers and sisters, she had finally found something only she could do better than all the others.

Brant, meanwhile, had been contemplating the offer. His aunt and uncle had banned him from ever touching a broom since a little mishap that happened when he was twelve. They had immediately contacted the school and made sure all the professors and staff would keep an eye on Brant and not let him ride a broom. But of course things were different now. The professors were going missing. They wouldn't have to worry about Brant.

"I'm in," he said with an air of finality in his voice. He needed this. He needed to fly on a broom. It would be the first time in five years.

Vianna squealed in joy with a quick, short clap of her slender hands. She was an avid broom-racing fan, but only really had her brothers to compete against since most girls were terrified of flying and most guys didn't want to "feel guilty about beating a girl." "Finally!" she grinned. "You have no idea how long I've been waiting for a chance to race someone outside of the Vincenzi family."

Vince, on the other hand, didn't seem as excited. Sure, he loved a good broom-race but finding a good opponent wasn't as difficult for him as it was for his sister, hence the whole idea wasn't that out of the ordinary. "It's settled, then. Guess we won't be following any teachers today."

"Oh we'll see about that!" replied Vianna with a smirk.

Serena woke up from where she had fallen asleep the night before. The owlery, she had been writing down all the previous disappearnces that had occured within the last days.

S got up and shook all of the dirt and filth off of her robes and headed down to get something to eat before classes. She mentally started ticking off which teachers were left and trying to find a pattern within the ones who were already missing.

"And if you win?" Raquel asked with a look at Vince. "What'll you do then? Something much more exciting, I dare say." Raquel stood up tucked her hair behind her ear to keep it from her face.

"Alright, let's go," grinned Brant rather excited to be riding a broom once more.

Airlia Mondai quietly stepped into the great hall, hosting her bag more carefully on her shoulder and manageing not to trip or hit anyone even when she was so engrossed in her reading. The fact that most of the teachers had vanished did not stop Airi from learning as much as she could.
Airi put her book down for a second and then with a small start, noticed that she had very nearly walked into the Gryffindor table, she blinked slightly in surprise and then frowned as she saw who was sitting infront of her. it was Brant, Raquel, Vince and Vianna.

Airi smiled and placed her book back into her bag before turning her attention back to the group.

"Good morning... And how is the Gryffindor lot doing today?"

"Well, first thing would be getting away from you lot," replied Vince, then standing to join the others on their feet.

Vianna rolled her eyes. "You know you love my company," she said with a faint smirk. "Besides, playing 'pretty boy' with your buddies or snogging the nearest Slytherin shameless witch is something you can do any day, so there's no point on racing us for it."

That's when Airlia suddenly stepped into the scene. Vianna turned to her with the politest of smiles, "We're great, off to a broom-race. How're you?"

Raquel rolled her eyes at Vince. Not that she expected anything different from him. Most guys were like that after all. Why should he be any different? "Hey, Airlia," said Raquel with a smile as she noticed the girl come their way.

Brant was already making his way outside. Whether the others were coming or not, he was getting on a broom. A new passion had been lit inside of him and he needed to quench it now and fast.

"So far? Bored, terribly, terribly, bored" Airi said, sighing slightly as she did, Airi took out a clip and quickly tied up her long black hair into a ponytail, her dark eye's were half lidded and she looked as if she'd been awake all night, but, Airi didn't complain infact she was constantly staying up late. She smiled at Raquel, "Hey Rae"

After all she was trying to become an Unspeakble and you certainly don't get there without study and hard work. Airlia smiled gently at the foursome and wondered if it would be to much to ask to come along, at the moment the Ravenclaw had a whole free period to herself and didn't feel like reading anymore.

"Mind if I tag along then? Or is this a Lion thing only?" Airi said with a smirk. "Brant really doesn't do this often does he?"

Vianna watched Brant go, then turned back to Airlia with an apologizing look on her face. "I'm sorry to hear that. And of course you can come! The more players the better!" she said with a grin.

Vince snorted. "This should be good," he muttered under his breath. Somehow he couldn't imagine Airlia on a broom, much less racing against fanatics like them.

"Then what are we waiting around here for?" Raquel asked. "By now, Brant's probably flown around the pitch five times. Let's get going." She waited for everyone to get a move on.

"Excuse me? What was that Vince? What exactly are you trying to suggest?" Airlia asked. Her eyebrow raised in mock surprise as she placed her heavy book bag back onto her shoulder and started walking out of the Great hall, Her expression between amusement and annoyance.

"Ether that or he's flown the coop" Airi laughed. shaking slightly with surpressed mirth, her long raven hair swinging back and forth as she walked.
Airi had never really gotten along with most girls (or even people) at school.

It was mostly due to her strange beliefs and her quiet nature, but, somehow she had managed to fit in seamlessly with these few Gryffindors... So much so that sometimes she wondered if the Sorting hat hadn't made a mistake by placing her in Ravenclaw.

Vince laughed lightly. "Nothing, nothing at all," he replied with a grin. "You plan on flying with those books on you, too?" Oh how he loved pushing her buttons, maybe he'd get lucky and make her snap.

Vianna shot her brother a death glare as they headed out of the Hall. "Drop it. Airi, ignore him, he's just sour because he knows he's going to lose," she said. "I mean, you'd think he'd be used to it by now, but I suppose he wants a little more suffering before the message gets through."

Vince laughed but didn't bother fighting back, it would be pointless to try to convince his sister he was the better racer (or so he thought) with her stubborn personality. It wasn't long until he reached the Quidditch field, Vianna speed-walking behind him; it was always a challenge following him around when he was over a head taller than her and his legs could manage two of her steps in one of his own.

"You know, you're all talk but can you actually fly decently?" Raquel asked Vince. "I mean honestly, you're not all that good looking for one. I don't see how any girl ends up snogging you. You must feed them some sort of potion, I suppose." Really, did boys think of nothing but themselves? "I've got five galleons you'll come in last place, you will." Raquel was not the type to be easily impressed.

Brant had already managed to steal a broom from the broom cupboard and was indeed flying around the pitch. "About time the lot of you showed up," said Brant as he flew towards the ground where the group was walking. "I was beginning to think you'd all forgotten."

ooc: Gotta go! See you!

Airlia laughed outright at Vince's next words, she was far to clever to fall into that trap... Now she was anyway, a few years back she would have gladly taken the bait and argued with him long into the day. Airi gave the young man a quick fleeting smile and then turned to his sister.

"Oh don't worry about me Vianna, I can handle Vince just fine" Airi said, as she dropped her bag to the ground near the stands and then striding over to the broom cupboard proceeded to take out one broom for each of them. Airi smirked as the other two girls crowded up on Vince and gave Brant a withering glance before turning back to the whole group.

"So who's on which team then?

OOC: Bye!! See you later

Vince laughed heartily, actually quite pleased with Raquel's reaction, it wasn't everyday that a girl insulted him. Somehow, it felt good. "If you say so, Raquel, though personally I think you're on denial. Either that, or too shy to admit the truth. But I'll gladly take your bet."

"Well, if you ever need any help I'd be more than happy to hex him for you," said Vianna with a smile, taking the broom Airlia offered her. She then turned to Raquel and Vince, "All right you two, leave it for the race," she said, rolling her eyes at them before mounting her broom and joining Brant up in the air. "Well, we were originally planning to do this individually," she said, turning back to Airlia. "But if you'd like to play in teams, you're welcome to join me!"

ooc: Bye, hpangel!
Just you and me now, Culprit.

"I really don't mind ether way" Airlia shouted up to Vianna. suddenly feeling nervous she mounted her broom and attempted to kick off, but, only managed to stay up two feet in the air for a few mintutes before the broom fell back to the ground with a thud.

Airi was now laying on her face eating mud and laughing so hard she could barely breath. "Owwwww" Airi said lefting her head slight and pushing back her hair which had almost come out of it clip.

The young Ravenclaw grinned slightly and rolled onto her back letting herself get over the slight pain she felt in her arm.

"That was gnarly"

OOC: I bet you planned it like this you filthy stalker.

"Merlin's beard! Are you all right?!" gasped Vianna, leading her broom over to the fallen girl and jumping off, extending a hand out to help Airlia back up to her feet.

Vince was already on his broom, but still low and close enough to the ground to get front-row seats to Airlia's show. He laughed heartily before finally speaking, "Nice one, Airi. Broom too big for you?" he teased before flying away after his sister gave him a warning look.
