While the original charms corridor is a few twists and turns away, the new Charms Corridor is right here and Professor Schirmer has charmed it in a thousand and one interesting ways. For starters the walls change colour if you breathe on them (or burp or sneeze or sigh or expel warm air on them in any other way). On Thursdays, you can only walk down the Charms Corridor backwards, no matter what direction you are trying to go in. Sometimes it seems like the corridor forgets to put the doors in the right place, and it feels a bit like you're walking forever and never getting anywhere. If it is a full moon, the corridor fills with an anti-gravity mist which makes it rather difficult to get from place to place unless you have mastered the art of omnidirectional floating.

There are various flying objects out of reach above your head; these are things that got lost on their way somewhere. If a student within Hogwarts banished something or summoned something but it never reached its intended destination, chances are it has found its way here and floats near the ceiling with other lost things; an eclectic collection, keeping itself company. Many of these 'en route to nowhere' things now sport cute little wings to help them stay in the air. From eight AM, and for nine minutes every morning, the Corridor seems to forget that it is a corridor, and behaves like a staircase. It feels like you're going up or down, and so you lift your legs and bend your knees, but alas, it remains a corridor. If you trip on the stone work, it says sorry. Yes, that's right, a disembodied voice comes from the stone, apologising for getting under your feet.

Of course this means that Thursday mornings from eight until nine minutes past, if it happens to be a full moon, you'll find yourself walking backwards up or down non-existent stairs whilst floating through the air with the possibility of no doors to escape through.

Sounds like the perfect opportunity to try to catch a lonely lost thing with no place to go!

This is where you'll find the mailbox, as well as the doors (sometimes) to the charms classroom and Professor Schirmer's office. If you are waiting to see her you can sit on the floor by the Charms Office door (if its there). Don't worry, you won't get piles, that patch of stone sports a rather cosy cushioning charm!

You are more than welcome to create your own RP here. If you are waiting for class to start, or to see the Professor, your character can wait here until called upon. Have fun and remember, Professor Schirmer isn't too far away.

It took her quite a lot to control her facial muscles from laughing. First off, she could not believe that she was taking the risk of coming ahead and just knock on Schrimer's office. Everybody knew that the professor had her rules about people getting into her office. However, Louisa's purpose of walking down the corridor was completely different... and approved by.. someone else.

Ahem.

With a parchment folded neatly in her hand, the fifteen years old knocked on the door and took a step backward waiting for a reply.

...hopefully this wouldn't cause her to lose any more points.

... and another knock? Althea eyed the door and then opened it, going over there and looking out into the corridor.

"Oh. Miss Carter. Come in."

... she didn't have an appointment. Better be good. The professor held the door open expectantly.

In or out, Ravenclaw.

Althea shut the door again once Louisa entered.

It was a full moon, and Willy found himself wandering the halls of Hogwarts instead of hanging out in his hut. He always found the hut rather constricting at night anyway, and besides, his fingers were practically twitching out of boredom.

He had originally thought of going to Oliver's just to prank him in his sleep, but instead, the young Care of Magical Creatures professor found himself stepping into the corridor outside the Charms office and suddenly.... he was floating. Floating down the corridor on his belly, his arms out wide and his wand in his hand.

Wow. This place was.... this place was trippin'! Did Althea do this? William was IMPRESSED.

But that didn't mean it was safe from his pranking. Mwahaha. Willy smirked as he moved his arms in a swimming motion, making his way up to the ceiling slowly but surely. He flicked his wand then, causing a nice, lovely stream of white toilet tissue to come springing forth from its end. It attached itself to the walls with a parasitic-like venom, hanging down from the ceiling like streamers and floating out from the walls like it had a life of its own.

Willy started humming then, an old Muggle tune called something like.... "Ode to Joy." Heh. Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dunnnn......! More toilet paper, that's all this hallway needed, a good papering! Hehee.

Breeeeeeeeeaaaath out.

Louisa closed the door of the office behind her as soon as her foot hit the floor, "That was nerveracking to say the least," murmuring to herself with a nervous/amused smile. One step further than the door, she saw something white falling over from the ceiling. It was hard to identify among all the other floating stuff but this thing could get people tripping or something.

Louisa walked further into the corridor to investigate the- WHAO, her feet no longer touched the floor and she was floating few inches away the floor, with a low squeal, she held on to the wall to prevent herself from flipping over... wearing a skirt and all that.

"Professor Williamson?" Yep, definitely the person flying higher than herself, "Uh... what.. are you doing up there, sir?" And why was he playing with toilet paper? The girl couldn't help a chuckle as she said that.

Something sprang from over her shoulder that was so close to the wall, and she yelped before recognizing MORE toiler paper. Louisa chuckled again, amused by the silliness of the situation and its lack of logic. Well, she could use some after the risk task she'd just succeeded doing. WHO would agree to deliver a love letter to Schirmer? Someone definitely needed fun in their life. Heh.

"I'm...." Ohhhhhh shooooooot, shoot, studentsies were catching him in action! Darn! He had to turn this around fast and come with a cover story right now. Right. What WAS he doing up here? Something...professory? Willy stopped whistling the Ode to Joy right away and frowned.

"I'm.... well I'm redecorating, obviously," he answered the Ravenclaw very matter of factly, shooting some toilet paper in her direction. "What are YOU doing up here? Care to help?"

Maybe he'd sweeten the deal with a few points. Heh.

Louisa raised her eyebrows at the hesitant reply. Decorating. With toilet paper. She quickly dodged his shoot, though, caught it in one hand and felt it up. It wasn't weird, magical kind of paper, right? "Well, I was in professor Schirmer's office. A while ago actually." She let go of the paper he'd thrown, it went rolling down making curvy long path. The girl then pushed herself up, using the wall behind her as support not to flip over. Maybe she should've just wore her jeans before the delivery?

"Y-yeah," help a professor. That was being mature and professional, right? Louisa liked to do professional stuff. She sprung away from the wall higher toward the man. "Are we really decorating, though, sir? With toilet paper?" She raised an eyebrow at him, catching the closest floating paper and lifting it. She wasn't that stupid.

...waaaait a minute! Wasn't he involved in the rumored prank at the opening feast?

What, what was that look for??? "This is a very.... specialized task, Ms...." shoot he did NOT know this girl's name, "Ravenclaw." Yes, call all the blue people the name of their House ghost. Why not. "I'm not sure if you have the qualifications to be an interior decorator."

Oh oh, she was in Schirmer's office? Did that mean Schirmer was in said office as well? Willy kicked off the nearest wall and bounced from wall to wall like a ping pong ball until he was closer to the ground. Heh. "What were you doing in her office? She's er...... occupied with other students now though, right?"

He sure didn't want to have to modify this girl's memory for catching him red-handed.... or did he...?

"Yes, we ARE really decorating." Willy turned up his nose and pushed off the floor to start floating and decorating again. "And you're going to help. Hogwarts is having a small budget crisis. We went all out for that Centennial Celebrationy Mabob. So. Hence the toilet paper instead of crepe paper."

Williamson snickered softly to himself and continued decorating, floating further down the hall where his 'Ode to Joy' was less likely to be overheard.

Ms. Ravenclaw? Seriously? Louisa refrained from rolling her eyes ~~and losing few points~~ and uttered, "Louisa Carter." And did he just say that she did NOT have qualification for something? Holy moley. The girl pouted and grabbed a stream of toilet paper, "I do not wish to be an interior designer anyway." It wasn't a professional serious career to the bookworm.

What was she doing in Schirmer's office? Louisa's eyebrows quickly shot up defensively, "Nothing!" she blurt out before managing a nervous smile, "I mean, I was.." she used the floating tools around them to move away from the man and toward a wall where she stayed there idly, not entirely sure what to do with the paper in hand. "..delivering a letter to the professor. S-s-someone asked me to."

Whaaaaat what that demanding tone he used? Turning her head to look at the mischievous professor, she smirked, "I don't think they're still inside, sir, no." Actually two of them were still in when she'd left. But... she wanted to see what Williamson's reaction was to that. HEHEHE.

The girl scoffed at the budget crisis speech, "Sorry to hear that. I don't really think that professor Schirmer will appreciate the toilet paper looking plain like this." Louisa was beginning to fall into this decorating thing, apparently, "Maybe we can change their color... or even draw something on them." Who isn't qualified enough now, mister ping pong?

Half-heartedly, she tossed some paper here and there, making sure they didn't fall down to the very bottom toward the floor. Using the floating 'lost' stuff, Louisa tangled the paper and kept moving around supporting herself on the wall. The professor didn't really ask her to help rather than... just said it.

"Right, Ms. Louisa Carter," Williamson eyed the girl as he picked up on her sulky tone, "do you ever wanna throw a party? You might not wanna be an Interior Designer when you grow up, but let me tell ya: parties are FUN." This was common knowledge throughout the world. Duh. And Dub was a party expert, or didn't she know?

Nothing? Uh huh. The rapidity with which she spewed out that answer had Willy's eyebrows dancing toward the top of his head. "Nothing, huh? So you wanna grow up to me a mailwoman, is that what you're saying? Odd job for a witch...." He eyed her even MOAR suspiciously now.

"If they're not still in the office...." William murmured to himself, floating further down the hallway, "then where would they be????!" Dun dun DUNNNnn it was about time for him to make a great escape. Before Althea saw his handiwork anyway....

What was this? Ms. 'I Don't Wanna Be a Designer' was designing stuff now? "Suit yourself," William shrugged, floating almost out of sight amongst all the toilet paper crowding the ceiling now. "GREEN WOULD LOOK GOOD!"

Parties? Louisa let go of the paper she was holding, and pushed herself against the wall toward the ~~fleeing~~ professor. He was showing some serious randomness; Not the good stuff that make you smile and laugh, but weird and fishy randomness- the kind you use to distract someone from the original idea. Courtesy of 'Be A Veritaserum', Louisa's current fun-reading book.

Forcing a chuckle to lighten her mood, Louisa asked, "Sir, are you trying to..." distract or get rid of me? Instead she altered her question to, "Does professor Schirmer approve of this decoration task?" She couldn't see the woman being so happy with people messing her corridor's ceiling with toilet paper.

And since he was still jumping around throwing the papers here and there, the fifth year had to float to a lower level. She craned her neck at the man's direction to see if he was gone already.... would he notice if she just scrambled away? She stopped doing this decorating nonsense task thing by now.

Does Professor Schirmer approve of this task? Willy mocked Louisa in his head. "I don't know, does she?" he rolled his eyes and floated further down the hall, turning around in the air slowly so he could survey his completely tp'd corridor. It. Looked. AWESOME.

"Hey, keep an eye on this for me, will ya, Louisa? New school rule: no tearing down the decorations. We worked hard on this." He nodded curtly to her and then floated away further, making his way through the air to the staircase. Hopefully the floating charm of the hallway would be wearing off BEFORE he got to the stairs...

Magical Soul · 01-28-2012, 02:32 AM

GASP! Schirmer didn't know! Louisa frowned as the professor ordered her to watch over the mess and then floated away. She stayed still, hanging on what seemed like a painting floating for some weird reason.

...huh? She wasn't going to watch over anything. Pffffft. And she certainly didn't appreciate this weird act of the professor.

HOWEVER. She could write some lil something. Grabbing a random paper, tearing it away and moving closer to the wall, Louisa took her quill out of her should bag and started writing. Quickly and rather clumsily, she finished and took her wand out. Flicking her wand at the medium sized paper, it was stuck to the wall.

Smirking she made her way to the other end of the corridor getting back to her common room, satisfied.
