Peter looked over to Lainey. "No i'm good right now" he said with a smile. He was already full and didn't need a contest right at the moment. He then turned to Elijah and noticed that what he said had made him feel slightly better or at least he hoped so.

Kenlee finnished her food and decided to get some fresh air. SHe walked out onto the grounds and walked over by the lake. As she sat down on the grass she closed her eyes and just relaxed.

Gabe was gettting bored with the great hall so he decided to leave. Since he had already gone outside some today he decided to just roam the halls for right now. Just take a break from everything.

"What I do or don't do to or with Airi is really none of your concern, Raquel," replied Vince with a small smile, sounding positively devious as was usual of him. "And I don't think it's fair you get angry at me because you think you're not pretty. Not that you aren't, but you know."

Please delete

"I didn't get angry with you because I'm not pretty," she said rolling her eyes. "I don't care if I'm pretty or not. I don't care what you think either." Really, she could care less about looks. "I'm merely defending a friend. Is that so wrong? I mean, wouldn't you defend a friend of yours if they were being hounded on by someone else?"

Jenilynn met up with her brother in the common room. When they'd first got here, it was nice to have family with her. Now though, she had friends, but it was still nice to have her brother.
"Are you going to the Great Hall, Justin?" she asked. He nodded so they continued down to eat breakfast.

"Yes, I would," replied Vince, now getting somewhat tired of the whole subject of the conversation. He mounted his broom properly and replied, "But Airi sure doesn't seem to mind my behavior as much as you do, and she's the 'victim'." He then flew off and joined his sister up in the air.

Vianna stopped and hovered in the air as her brother joined her side. She looked down at the others and called out, "So we're racing, then? Or would Vince and Raquel prefer a quick boxing match, since you two apparently prefer fighting over flying?"

Vince shoved his sister gently, not really finding her words the least bit amusing. "Let's all just agree into doing something we will all enjoy?"

Raquel rolled her eyes and mounted her broom as well. It was lucky she was so short and thin because that allowed for easier and faster flight on her part. She rose high into the air. "We can just race around for kicks," she shrugged ignoring the boxing match comment. Although there may have been some truth to that--Raquel could argue all day if you let her. "Then again we could fly around in circles."

The Vincenzis sighed, the lack of excitement clear on their faces. "All right, let's race then," said Vince after a moment of silence. "Same as last time - from here to the owlery, first one back wins." He took position on his broom, then turned to his sister who looked completely dazed as she stared down at the castle. "Vianna?"

"Did you see that?!" gasped Vianna suddenly, turning to the others with wide eyes.

"No," said Brant who was still drifting on his broom aimlessly. "What didn't I see?" he asked rising to level with the other three.

"What'd you see?" asked Raquel. She glanced at the spot Vianna had been concentrated on and turn back to her. She leaned forward on her broom wondering what she could have possibly seen.

"That-- that person!" said Vianna pointing clumsily at the spot she had been staring at.

Vince narrowed his eyes as he tried to get a clearer view, but saw nothing more than wandering students and the castle walls. "That's a bit vague, Vi."

"Some kid!" replied Vianna almost wildly and nearly falling off her broom as she waved her hands in the air hysterically. "Some kid was passing by, and some... well, some thing sucked him into the wall!"

Vince stared at his sister blankly. He always did believe she was crazy but that was just going way too far. "Come with me, we'll go visit the nurse," he said, taking her arm.

Vianna snatched her arm back roughly. "I'm not crazy, Vince! I understand it might be a little hard to believe," she said, understanding that perhaps she wasn't acting like the most sane person in the world with her wild hand-waving, "But I really did honest-to-heart see some kid just disappear into the wall. Kind of like we do on platform nine and three quarters, except he didn't do it willingly."

"So, someone grabbed him and pulled him into the wall?" asked Brant for clarification. "Wicked," he grinned. "Let's go investigate. Maybe they'll suck us into the wall as well." He then began flying over to the spot Vianna had indicated where the boy had disappeared.

Raquel wasn't sure whether she should believe her or not. But crazier had things had happened and teachers were disappearing, so maybe Vianna had seen something. "I suppose we could check it out," she said with a nod.

Vince raised an eyebrow slightly at his sister; she simply stared at him blankly. They watched the other two go and followed rather unethusiastically. Vianna still in shock of what she had seen, and Vince wishing he could be off somewhere else doing things he actually enjoys, not examining mysterious walls.

"What if Hogwarts is the kidnapper?! The castle itself is eating people!" gasped Vianna as they headed closer to the spot where the young student had disappeared.

"Don't be absurd," replied Vince dully. "Perhaps it was something like the room of requirement..."

"The what room?"

"Nothing."

OOC: Sorry guy's I was busy all day and couldn't get back on till just now.

Airi had been standing close by watching her freinds argue over how Vince treated her and said nothing. The whole time her blood had been boiling over, not because of Vince's off handed remarks, but,, because Raquel felt the need to protect her from the Gryffindor boy.

It wasn't Raquel's fault Airi was so meek, it just kind of came with the territory. She could be the most outgoing person in the whole world... When she was with her brothers, without them, she turned into quiet little Airi.

Airi listened in awe as Vianna desribed what she had seen and when Vince mentioned the ROR, she felt excitement and fear rush through her vein.

"Maybe... Or perhaps the kidnapper is useing the Room of Requirment to abduct his victims? It's enterially possible that the room would have a feature that would enable you to become part of the castle itself" Airi said, flying around in a circle before turning to her peers,
"We should go there.. Right now to the Room of Requirment, even if the Kidnapper isn't there, we might be able to find some clue or something there"

Raquel followed the others as they began to move towards the post Vianna had indicated. She suddenly wished she could be doing more exciting thing but what else was there to do? Not much else.

Aliana was getting up, tired of salad and life until she bumped into... What'shisface? Gabe. Tipping over (almost falling. not quite.), she grasped his shoulder before falling backwards or something. "Watch where you're going..." She muttered in her slight french accent, fixing her sunglasses carefully.

Lainey rolled her eyes. Dropping the toast from her mouth, she replied, "Moron." He obviously didn't get what she really wanted. Nor would he ever... Right? OBVIOUSLY, her brain told her, PETER DOESN'T LIKE YOU IN THAT WAY. DUH. She told her brain to shut up in that corner and shrugged, reaching for some jam or something.

"I don't think I like this" Airi said in an undertone to Brant and Raquel as she walked alongside them, "We have no idea what this could be and right now we're walking right to it... Maybe that's what it wants us to do"

"Odd... Very Odd" Airi murmered as she landed near the wall and approached it with a careful demeanor.

Although she didn't sound fearful or excited, she certainly felt both emotions, her voice was subdued and thoughtful as she looked at the castle wall. Strange very strange, the wall was completely like every other one next to it and yet, Vianna seemed sure about what she saw. "Are you absolutly sure that's what you saw Vi?" asked her freind and glancing toward Raquel with a look of disbelife on her face.

"Maybe, we should just go back to the Quidditch patch... " Airi added boredum already pulsing through her, she was still closely examining the wall though for any signs of... Something.

Mids watched Lainey and Peter fight for a while, spacing out as she poked at some toast. She still felt very tired. She occupied herself by pulling out a coin and spinning it on the table, watching as it fell to the surface. She was really, really not ready to be awake just yet.

"Yeah, this is boring," sighed Brant rather disappointed that they had found nothing exciting. It was probably just Vianna trying to pull their legs anyway. Maybe this was her way of amusing herself. Even if it wasn't, there was clearly no one trying to pull people through walls.

Raquel had also been examining the wall but found nothing. Not that she expected to find anything, but still. It was a bit of a letdown.

Airi was about to turn and leave when she suddenly felt an kind of blemish under her fingers, it ward very hard and was shaped in an octogon.
"What's that?" Airi said, looking closer and seeing the shape itself, it was the exact same color as the wall and stuck out of it like a pimple on a teenager. It was about three inches long and six inches wide,

"Come look at this!!" Airi stated to her freinds taking her hand away from the Octogon, "It... Kind've resembles a doornob, doesn't it?"

Elijah had looked up as a handful of people got up to go racing and saw that girl from Durmstrang, what was her name.. Serena?, come into the Great Hall. She looked deep in thought and he beckoned her to join him and the others at their table. He leaned forward and spoke to the others in a hushed voice, "Listen, maybe if we make a list of all the professors who have gone missing, maybe we could see some kind of similarities between them. Maybe that would give us a clue to what's going on."

He turned to Peter. "You seem to be up on all the latest news. Can you come up with a list for us?"

Raquel leaned over to see what Airi was talking about. "Wow, you're right," she muttered under her breath. "How odd. Do you think we should . . . try to open it?" She looked up at Airi for her opinion on the matter.

"I think we should give it a go," said Brant putting his hand over the octagon-shaped knob.

S looked at Elijah and wondered exactly who he was. S hadn't really gotten to know all of the people from the other two schools. She took a chance and sat down beside. "That's a good idea. Let's see, I heard coming down that something happened to the libraian."

The siblings remained quiet, watching as the others examined the mysterious octagon. Vianna felt a rush of fear and excitement as they approached the strange shape. "Wicked," she muttered under her breath. "I'm sure it has something to do with that kid's disappearance! Tap it with your wand or something!"

Vince simply looked around, watching people come and go, completely bored out of his mind. He hadn't noticed their recent discovery yet and if it wasn't for Vianna elbowing his ribs, he would have nearly forgotten the situation they were stuck in. "What? Oh yeah, cool... thing."

"You can leave," said Raquel to Vince. "No one's forcing you to stay here, I think." She wasn't sure if he was still here because of his sister or because of . . . something else. She looked at him expectantly with her small, brown eyes.

"... Yeah.. Go fot it Brant," Airi said, clutching at Raquel's shirt sleeve in apprehension. Her heart was hammer in her chest and if it hadn't been for the brave Gryffindor's around her she proably would have gone back up to her Dorm.

"I'd really hate dying today." Airi said with a little laugh, she swallowed hard and then grinned nervously at the others, "Just thought I'd mention that before stepping into the unknown and all,"
