Default Underground Chambers


Opening a well-hidden door in the dungeons allows you access to the many underground chambers beneath the castle. While this discovery may be exciting, it is important to move forward with caution -- hopefully you've come along with some friends, just in case something should go terribly wrong. No, you've thankfully not stumbled upon the Chamber of Secrets. But only Merlin knows what you'll find here.

You start off in a chamber containing a dusty table where seven bottles once rested. Whether you find that interesting or not, it is the two doors present in the room that play at your curiosity. Going through one door will take you into an antechamber that leads to a much bigger room. Here a large mirror can be found, which will reveal something interesting about yourself if you stand in front of it properly. The other door, however, stems off into a series of chambers. First you find yourself in a spacious room, though there isn't much to be seen besides a thick layer of dust (with a dash of decayed troll bone) on the floor. Carrying onward, a giant chess board is revealed (to play a life-sized game, one need only cast Reparo on the mutilated pieces) and then a room filled with an array of winged keys. Lastly is a chamber that is relatively harmless ... as long as the blue flames remain lit.

Perhaps you've learned about this place once in history class? It all seems oddly familiar. Hmm.

In hopes of not being found, because she wasn't sure if it would be allowed and if she didn't ask then she was never told no, Emmalyn crept down to the Underground Chambers. It was kind of dark and uninviting. Just the place to keep out wandering eyes.

She gently placed her oversized duffle bag, filled with a small cauldron, table cloth, and various chocolate making supplies, down on the floor and began cleaning up the area with various scouring charms. To say the chamber was simply dusty was a vast understatement. The appeared the place hadn't been cleaned in years and was in no condition to serve as a makeshift kitchen.

As she cleaned, she noticed a strange mirror off on one side. It wasn't near her chocolate making area, so she had no desire to further investigate and it was one less thing to clean. Finally satisfied with the cleanliness of her workspace, she set her items out and patiently waited for Ewan to arrive. She hoped she gave him proper directions and he wasn't lost in one of the other chambers.

Left, Right, Up, down...he really wasn’t sure where he was going. Ewan was sure he’d remembered the directions correct, surprisingly. This couldn’t be the right place, could it? With dust mites floating freely around the room, he really wasn’t sure this place was the right space to make anything, let alone chocolate. ‘Hmm.. I guess we couldn’t use the herbology rooms’.

As he walked further into the chamber, it was there that he spotted her, still tinkering with her wand. ‘Aha, she’s cleaning..with magic? Okay that’s pretty cool’. Walking towards Emmalyn now, he reached around for his rucksack and smiled at her, shaking in the air in her direction “I’ve got my books and my muggle chocolate! You’ve got to try some of this!”. Laughing now, he continued “Sorry, I mean, Hey Emmalyn. How was the rest of your holidays?”.

Looking around now, he took in his surroundings properly for the first time. She really did do an excellent job at cleaning the surrounding area where they may, or may not, be making their own chocolate! Clean stone floors lay in front of him. On these floors sat different pieces of equipment. Pulling his muggle chocolate out of his bag, along with a several muggle books on chocolate, he placed them on the floor, excitement spreading across his face.

"Great! I'd love to try some." She giggled back and greeted him "Hi back at you, Ewan. My last few weeks were great." She gestured towards all of the supplies laying neatly on the clean tablecloth. "I was able to collect a lot of things I think will help us make chocolate."

Taking a few steps to her left, she made room for Ewan to place his items on the tablecloth and free his arms of their burden. "How about you? Looks like you were able to get a lot of great stuff too." Her eyes danced with excitement and possibilities.

"Sorry about the odd location. I wasn't able to talk to Professor Myers about the greenhouses due to Daisy's father passing and all that went on after." She felt horrible for her friend, and even worse for feeling slightly annoyed by their inconvenient location because of it. "Plus, I wasn't sure how good of a mood he would be in by the time he was finished with her."

"This should work well and we shouldn't need to worry as much about other students finding us before we are ready to either sell or give away our candy." She wasn't sure if they would be allowed to sell it, at least not for a profit. They could attempt to sell it without asking anyone, but the stress of it all might be more than it's worth.

Derf had been down here many times since his first year, though all those times had been to explore mostly. Today though, today was different and he had an armful of Charms texts and one on Advance Transfiguration to prove it. Having been to just a handful of the chess club meetings, Derf could hardly say that he had taken to the game...but it HAD sparked his curiosity and want to live a part of wizarding history. And what better place to do that than at Hogwarts, right? Maybe he was feeling a little more devil may care this term that before because of what had happened in Dufftown last term - things changed and you got loads of perspective when you were under the influence of Dark magic, you know? - but he felt like if there was any time to start implementing repairs, well, better now than later?

Not to mention he reckoned it was going to take him several terms to get everything right since he had to juggle this side project with all of his other ones. And prefecting. And hopefully quidditch. And, well, the list went on and on.

Casting Lumos as he made his way through the dark corridors leading to the first chamber, Derf had NOT been expecting to hear VOICES...and for a hot second almost jumped with glee thinking the voices were coming from the pipes which CLEARLY meant that he had finally learned some parsletongue, but alas.

...........WHO ELSE IS DOWN HERE?! he called out, his voice now joining his footsteps as he approached.

As she waited for Ewan to place his things on the tablecloth next to hers, she heard footsteps again. "Shush. I hear someone coming." She very quietly whispered to Ewan. NO! She scream in her mind. She thought she had picked the perfect place to not be found, but it had taken less than an hour for another to make their way towards them.

"Maybe they will go through the other door." She whispered again. Then, she heard the all too familiar voice. Her heart did a strange thump of both excitement and fear, knowing it was Derf. Derf was great. Derf was a Hufflepuff. Derf was a Prefect. It was the latter that she was most concerned with.

Stay quiet or answer? Stay quiet or answer? She asked herself a few times before "It's me. Emmalyn." She shouted back. Her eyes hadn't spied him yet, so there was still hope he would choose to travel through a different door and not see what they were up to. "Nothing going on here. I, um, I don't need any help. Thanks!"

Her eyes hadn't spied him yet, so there was still hope he would choose to travel through a different door and not see what they were up to. "Nothing going on here. I, um, I don't need any help. Thanks!"
Placing his books and the vast amount of chocolate supplies he’d brought with him on the cute little blanket Emmalyn had brought, he looked down on her and smiled. Despite his lack of age, he still taller than the older girl. “Glad you enjoyed! Mine was pretty good too!”. Gesturing to all of objects on the blanket, he grinned “I think we’ve got enough to start now”. He was sad to hear about Daisey’s father, despite the fact that he had no idea who Daisy was. At least he didn’t think he knew her. “Don’t worry, this place is fine. I mean hopefully no one will...”


He stopped mid-sentence, his voice trailing off as he heard the footsteps approach. I recognise that voice.

*Closes his eyes*

You don’t call out that! Ewan liked Emmalyn. I mean, they were friends, business partners too! But even he had to admit, that was not a smart move. Whoever was on the other end of those footsteps was bound to come over and stick their big nose into their business! Horridly, he started to grab his things. He was well aware that they were not doing anything wrong but... he wasn’t sure if he wanted anyone else to see. I mean they could steal our ideas, our chocolate designs! OUR CHOCOLATE! Chuckling slightly to himself after that last thought, he whispered to Emmalyn “Shouldn’t we hide this stuff?”.

..................................

right.

Derf wasn't born yesterday, you know? And while he did have a good chuckle at Emmalyn's attempt, again, at being breezy in his presence (well, almost his presence since he wasn't literally in the same space as her just yet) he recognized the hurried intonation and all it did was encourage his steps forward. Which was when he heard another voice, one he was not familiar with, whispering something to his housemate.

"What stuff?" he asked as he finally came into view. No, this wasn't the space he had intended to occupy, but here they were. Cauldron? Potions brewing? It was too dimly lit for him to make out much else, but he certainly recognized the cauldron. And a...table cloth? Were they having a picnic here? That was, well, curious. Not that he was passing any sort of actual judgement.

"Hey, Emmalyn," he grinned at the second year before his eyes drifted over to the Ravenclaw who he could not place. Dim lighting certainly didn't help. At all. "Erm...hold on a second..." he said, casting a Nox to put out his wand so he could conjure a couple bluebell flames to help illuminate the space better. Was always better to have conversations with people when you could SEE their faces, yeah? "There. That's..." And then his bright blues fell on their spread and, well, it didn't really give him much of an answer.

Other than at least he knew they were not attempting to brew Polyjuice Poition. Which was something he did NOT recommend doing. Speaking from personal experience here. Just don't.

"...better?" The fifth year ruffled his hair. "So....am I...er...interrupting a date?"

She wasn't in full panic mode...yet. "I don't know a spell to hide it all that fast." She hastily whispered to Ewan, hoping beyond all else that Derf would simply walk away. Her heart sunk at Derf's question. He was coming their way and there wasn't anything she could do to keep him from seeing their makeshift chocolate factory.

Just keep smiling, she told herself, he might lose interest and go away. "Hi Derf. We are fine in here, no need to trouble yourself with us." As soon as she said the words, she once again figured it was the wrong thing to say and it would spark his curiosity even more. Then he started making more light. She quickly shifted her body to block Derf's view as much as possible, which wasn't much since she was rather small.

A date? Her first instinct was to say no. Not only was Ewan her friend, but she didn't want Derf to think she had moved on. Sure, she was no longer actively pursuing him and she had done her best to move him into the friend column of her mind, but that didn't mean she wanted him to think she was ready for dating other boys.

However, if she did say yes, maybe that would distract him enough that he wouldn't notice what they were really up to. Her need to be honest overrode her desire to not be caught. "Nope, not a date. Just, um, working on a special project." She glanced to Ewan "Right?" Looking back to Derf with her sweetest smile "This is my friend Ewan. Ewan, this is Derf. He's a Hufflepuff like me."

It was too late. The unknown person was there, in front of them, his eyes taking in all of their goods after he’d conjured up some kind of blue light. Catching the curiosity in his eyes now, he hastily stood in front of the chocolate and books he’d just placed down.

Date? DATE!? Blushing now at that word, he ruffled his hair and nodded, agreeing with Emmalyn. With a slightly dry throat, he introduced himself “Hey Derf, I’m Ewan. First year Ravenclaw”. Wanting to play everything a little cooler after his brief embarrassment, he continued, “Yeah, just a little project we’re...uh... cooking up?” looking at Emmalyn now, he winked with a slight grin on his face. He’d hoped she’d got his little play on words. “Honestly, we were just looking for some space to set up. I mean, for a big castle, it sure is hard to find some empty space with some peace and quiet”, Gesturing now at the air around him. Hopefully, that’ll keep him happy. Emmalyn seemed to know this guy pretty well judging from the over friendliness of her smile, but he didn’t. Not knowing if he could be trusted, he wanted him gone. Or at least, he wanted to know that he could trust him.

Changing the subject in what he’d hoped was a casual manor, he continued “So Derf, what brings you down here?”. I mean, in all fairness, they didn’t want to be seen or overheard so why was he here too. What was he hiding?

Derf was starting to catch on to why professors always seemed to know what he was up to - like how he had never truly fooled Professor Wayland in sneaking Picketta out of the creature nursery - as he listened to Emmalyn. Who was being anything but breezy right now, for the record. "It's never troubling spending time with you," he chuckled at the second year. Well...save for that whole corridor incident last term thanks to Zita. Crush confessions were things the Hufflepuff never handled all THAT well and he was still sorting through how he even felt about that whole social dynamic. Though he did not allow his thoughts to linger there for much longer because his ears were going to start reddening as his mind wandered to a certain Gryffindor initially.

Cue some epic hair ruffling.

Not a date. Well, that made this less awkward then. Sorta. "Ah, it was sorta lookin' like you two were on a picnic," he confessed as he moved closer and plopped himself down on the floor somewhat near them. "I mean...this place is as good as anywhere. Though I reckon if you are brewing something the aesthetic of being in the potions challenge area would be more fitting." Just to add his two knuts to the conversation. And yes, he had caught the little pun and chocolate frog points to you, Ewan, for the humor. His dad would have liked that one.

Leaning back on his hands. the fifth year tried to ignore how some of his bluebell flames were not perfect circular balls of flame...but wonky lopsided and seemingly half melted blobs. He was working on it, okay? He and that fwooper core were trying to sort out their evolving dynamic.

"Me? Thinking about starting a little project myself in the next chamber or so over," he grinned, using their own words as he patted the cover of his copy of An Anthology of Eighteenth Century Charms. "Hone my charms and transfiguration spellwork. Or, well, hopefully. Got the theory mostly mastered but practical application is yet to be seen."

The hair! Why did he always ruffle that lovely hair?!? Her eyes focused on his locks for only a moment before looking back towards Ewan. Her look to him was desperately screaming 'how to we get this guy out of here?' But, before she could properly convey her message, Derf took it upon himself to plop down next to them. "Nope, no picnic. Just a, well it's sort" she stumbled over her words "we are working on something that doesn't need the potions challenge area."

No worries, on to plan B. If she was able to keep him talking about himself and his project, he wouldn't have time to ask about what they were doing. "So, Derf, tell me more about your charms and transfiguration project. It sounds quite interesting. Is it for extra credit or a special project for the professors?"

She leaned over to take a look at his book. "Oh, eighteenth century charms. I bet things were a lot different then. What's your favorite charm from the book?" Rapid fire questions. Don't let him think between them. She eyed Ewan again, hoping he would jump in with his own questions. She also felt kind of bad for Ewan, being a first year and all. Not knowing Derf and having no clue what had happened the previous year. She'd have to apologize later. Not only for the too easily found location, but for the massive blushing she was probably doing.

Watching Derf carefully as he sat down on the blanket, he frowned. What was it with this kid? He could clearly tell that they didn’t want to be found here but he still insisted on forcing his company on them. Taking a step back, he watched both Emmalyn and Derf carefully. Something wasn’t right here. It was only after Emmalyn blush from Derf’s stupid, unnecessary hair ruffling that he realised that she... had a crush on him. Looking down now, he blushed. This was awkward. He couldn’t imagine how Emmalyn felt. Ignoring Derf’s comment about charms, or spell work, or something, he took a step back and leant against one of the walls.

Catching Emmalyn’s expression, he caught on to her plan. Going blank, he asked the first thing that came into his head “So... Derffff...What year are you in? I mean, what type of things do they teach you? You know, I just want to be prepared if I have to learn how to do that hair flick thing you just did”

*Ruffles hair, slightly over exaggerated*

Ewan was well aware this may come across as rude, but he needed to get his attention; Or at least take it away from his blushing friend.

He was watching them both curiously, but not in an incriminating sort of way. He wasn't like Flynn, you know? But the pair of them were...really bad at this. Not that he was any better at it, rubbish really, and it brought a bit of an amused chuckle from the fifth year.

But all right, he could humor them for a bit, sure.

"I'm lookin' to get the wizard's chess board operational again. Some of the transfiguration magic that requires is...super advanced though," he explained with a bit of a nod of the head while rapping the cover of one of his books with his knuckles. "Live a bit of Hogwarts history and all." Hogwarts Bucket List goals included in the sentiment. "Uuuuuuuuh...haven't been reading it to really pick a favorite...." Tunnel vision on finding something useful, yeah?

And he was going to politely ignore the way Emmalyn was blushing in his direction, okay?

Then Ewan was chiming in with some questions too, more of the personal variety. "Fifth year and, uh, I reckon that depends on what subject you're asking about?" The question was all kinds of vague so Derf wasn't too sure what sort of answer he was looking for. Wait...what? "Hair flick?" He had to pause to let that register...and ruffle his hair along with the Ravenclaw. "That's...er...not something I learned from class...always done it."

And that one particularly lopsided bluebell flame was taunting him and he was tempted to banish it and recast.

"Guys...you know I'm not gonna rat you out for being down here working on something, right?" Though he was mostly looking at Emmalyn who he HOPED would know that about him. "Reckon it would be, you know, hypocritical if I did considering." Since his own wasn't entirely staff approved either, though he may need to ask a professor or two for advice when, ultimately, some of his spellcasting proved futile. "I mean...long as you aren't brewing Polyjuice Potion, which I don't entirely recommend...got myself tied to a chair and left in the book maze in the library when I did that, and Emmalyn said no potions relation...can't be doing anything BAD, yeah?"

Wizards chess. Her jaw dropped open a bit. She had read about that in her history book. The life sized board that a kid named Harry used to get to a stone. "You mean it's here? Like, really here and you are going to try to get it working again?" Now, that was sounding cooler than what they were doing. Sure, chocolate was amazing, but you didn't make history with chocolate.

She used the few moments Derf and Ewan were talking about hair to wrap her mind around the possibilities. Surely he would need some help, not that she was very good at charms or transfiguration. However, she could read a book and she wasn't afraid of getting hurt testing the chess board out.

"Thanks for not telling on us. I mean, I don't even know if anyone would care what we are up to, but I've always felt it's better to do it and ask for forgiveness than get a no before you even start." She eyed Ewan, hoping he wouldn't mind what she was going to say next. "How about we make a little deal. Ewan and I are attempting to make our own chocolate. Super yummy magically made chocolate." She paused again to let that set in. She was well aware of Derf's love of chocolate frogs and hoped it extended to all forms of chocolate. "I'd really like to help you with your project too. It sounds really exciting and a little dangerous. Just my style. So, if we supply you with chocolate...assuming it's edible, which I think it will be...will you let me help you? Ewan too, if he wants."

She flashed him her brightest smile in hopes he would really take her offer into consideration. She secretly promised herself to not blush or act all google eyed around him again if he would say yes. Plus, she was done with feeling embarrassed. Over it.

Hmm... Was Emmalyn...ditching him? No. Okay so she still wanted to make chocolate. Or did she? One eye slightly raised now, he watched the interaction between them both, a dubious look on his face. Her enthusiasm for the... giant chess? Seemed to dampen his spirits. Despite his annoyance, Ewan couldn't help but appreciate the fact that Derf wasn't going to rat on them.

*Sigh*

"Thanks Derf, appreciate it". With a little nod,he sat down on the blanket opposite Derf and crossed his legs, as if that settled things. "So... what do you think? You want to join us?", all apprehension from his face. He wasn't sure what the deal was with these two Hufflepuffs but he wanted to find out.

Honestly, Derf was starting to feel a bit guilty about all this since, well, he had interrupted and now he was mostly monopolizing Emmalyn's time when she had come here with Ewan. Though, for now, he continued to smile at his housemate as he recognized the twinkle of curiosity in her eyes. "Yup," he grinned, even adding a bit of an eyebrow wiggle just because he could.

Soon enough she was beginning to speak to him as though they were business associates or something - he had sat in on some of his dad's meetings when he was younger, though it mostly had all gone over his head. Department head talks in Accidents and Catastrophes was beyond complicated. "No offense, Emmalyn but...I reckon you can't really speak for Ewan," he chuckled, offering the Ravenclaw a bit of an apologetic smile. Because, well, she was cutting a deal that included him without consulting him and stuff. "Though...not entirely sure why we need to have a deal anyway. Friendship isn't about give and take, yeah?"

Running a hand through his hair, the fifth year leaned back on his hands and observed the two of them for a bit. "But...if you both are keen to help me out, then sure. I'm gonna start with trying to get a standard muggle chess board, see if I can get it to behave like wizard's chess before I start on the big board. Though I'm gonna try to get knight piece to move first. No weapons with a horse, you know?" he explained with a chuckle.

Though the offer of being a taste tester, well, that made him anxious. He didn't NOT like chocolate...but there was a lot of anxiety surrounding magically enhanced food at this school and the long long history of it. "What are you guys aiming to do with the chocolate? Magical in what sense?"

Quinn had finally stumbled upon her first real Hogwarts secret. Last night. Right as it was time to head into the great hall for dinner, because why not? So, she hadn't been able to explore it just then, but memorized where the entrance was.

She told Beth and Reese about it at breakfast. Classes were over for the day, so they'd have plenty of time to explore whatever secrets lay behind this door. With an uncharacteristically excited grin back at the other two, Quinn opened the door and stepped into the secret room.

A table. A dusty table. That was the big secret? Quinn's face fell back to it's normal unreadable mystery. She examined it briefly on her way to one of the two other doors. There had to be something more interesting than a table. "Let's see what's in here." She opened the next door. It lead to a small room leading off into a what looked like a larger room. Something caught the light in the larger room beyond. "Come on."

Reese had met up with the two other parts to their trio where Quinn had told them about earlier.. Finally, they were going through a secret passageway to Merlin knew where!!!.. It was fantastic!!! The red-headed Reese was practically wiggling with all the excitement he had built up in his 5' 2" frame.

" Well, go on then.. We're right behind ya.. ", he said as he followed.. He took a moment longer they she had before going into the bigger chamber.. He wanted to check and study the walls... Just in case there was some sort hidden lever or something like that to open another hidden passage?

" Oi!.. Wait up!.. Don't leave me back here.. Lumos.. ", he said as he pulled his wand from his pocket so that he could see by the lit up tip of his wand..

Beth was ecstatic about this – adventures…and with people she actually liked and didn’t secretly want to knock out with a bludger, or two. The blonde had been distracted and was nearly late because of…well, watching creatures swim past the common room window. ”my l o v e s you waited for me” she exclaimed dramatically flinging her arms out towards both Reese and Quinn.

”hey undercover serpent boy” she winked over to Reese as clearly this sorting was a mistake. Clearly. ”this place is kind of fun, dark and dangerous – y’know something creepy and crawly might be in here…we should have taken a Gryffindor you know…for collateral damage reasons” what? She would totally pull a selfish move and run saving her friends if she had to…unless the Gryffindor was a certain Gryffindor – because they were a friend. No other reasons. :|

Quinn lead them through the second door, pulling her own wand out as well. "Lumos." She paused just long enough to glance back at Beth and Reese. "Undercover serpent boy?" Somehow that sparked recollection of something else in Quinn's maze-like brain. "Oh, just remembered. Imogen got back to me. She didn't send the charms though, instead she just made another book. Here," Quinn dug through her bag, reaching deeper than the back looked, much deeper, and removed a book. It was different than Quinn's, but just as nondescript and also leather bound. "It's empty, so you'll have to copy some books first to use it. Remember just tap the book you want to copy, then your book and say, 'Effingo Librum.'" She handed the book to Reese and then continued into to the larger room.

The only thing noticable right away about this room was a mirror, placed directly in the center. "So, did we stumble upon Hogwarts' forgotten furniture rooms?" There had to be something else, right? This room was too large just to contain a mirror. Taking a page from Reese's book in the last room, Quinn made her way to the closet wall, and began to inspect it for anything really. Anything at all.

when Beth came up behind them she nearly knocked him over.. He gave her a sidelong glance for that one.. " come off me.., he said as he shirked away from her attempted hug.. Although.. He didn't mind the nickname she'd traded his given name for.. He might actually allow it..

Then they came to the second chamber with the mirror in the middle of the floor.. No way!.. Wasn't this locked away or destroyed?.. He thought he had read that somewhere... Right?.. Maybe not.. " What if that's not just any old ancient mirror, Schmeb?.. What if it's the Mirror of Erised?", he offered as he circled and studied the frame of the mirror carefully.

Beth just looked at Quinn, her hands nearly shaking out of anticipation as Quinn handed her the book. ”oh…my gosh, Quinnnnnnnnity this the best thing EVER” and that, that was an understatement. Beth almost forgot about the question until she saw Reese shirking away and couldn’t help but laugh.

”please, do you think I was actually going to hug you, pull off an amazing arm-chain thing…where we link arms and skip in the dark dank dungeon sure…hugs, eh they’re over rated” she winked over to him, before turning to Quinn again. ”we came to the realization he should be a Slytherin with me…mind you I’ll revoke the nickname if you ever use Slytherin pickup lines for dates” she threatened loosely even though she didn’t really understand what those were.

”you think? Maybe…but I don’t remember Curtains’ voice kind of bores me” she admitted her downfall in class and sighed. It wasn’t good, not at all.

Quinn grinned at Beth's reaction to the book. "I'm surprised you didn't ask her yourself. She's your mother. And don't think I forgot about you Reese." She reached in to her bag again and pulled out...no, that was hers. Ah. Quinn pulled out another book, different than hers or Beth's but similar too. Nondescript and leather bound.
She passed this one too Reese. And those two were the last she was requesting from Imogen. Anyone else could figure it out themselves.

And...wait, what? Quinn's head snapped to look at the mirror so fast it sent a jolt of pain through her neck. She rubbed it away. "It couldn't possibly be...right? They wouldn't leave it down here for a century." She glanced around the chamber, then back toward the door, where just beyond the antechamber was the room with the table. "You don't think that table was the one Snape's test sat on?"

Quinn made her way to the center of the room and looked into the mirror. Shock and surprise danced in her expression. She gasped and back away from the mirror until she was out of its reflection zone, and sat down. "It is." Quinn glanced at Beth a moment, and odd unreadable expression on her face, then looked over at Reese. "Give it a try."

" I don't skip either.. ", Reese said as he rolled his eyes.. He was still looking around the room when he heard her sideways threat.. " How do snakes flirt anyhow?, grinning cheekily as he teased her a bit.


Then HE was being presented with one of the books that Schmebulock had designed! He took it from her with a look that said it all... Besides Rylee... She was now his best friend and he couldn't stop himself from beaming and giving her a quick side hug.. " Wow!.. Quinn.. This is brilliant!.. This is gonna be so useful with my research!", he said excitedly.. Seriously, there were ten books that he wanted to copy right now! " Could ya write down that incantation for me, please?.. He was in shock.. He'd never gotten a gift from anyone other than family..


Quinn and Beth both agreed the mirror could be the famed Mirror of Erised.. And then Quinnie-Poo decided to take a look and sure as Merlin had a beard IT WAS!!!!! " We Found the Mirror of Erised?!... Wicked!.. And me without my camera.. What do ya see?"

He was curious as to what she saw.. There was lots he wondered about from things that he'd heard from them or that had been said.. But he wasn't one to poke and prod.. No.. He was the type to respect someone's privacy and if they wanted to share pieces of themselves with him then he'd happily listen and be as supportive as he could. Just then as he was thinking on it Quinn invited him to have a look.." Alright.."... He made his way to stand directly in front of it and looked into the enchanted looking glass..

His eyes grew wide and he smiled, but his smile wasn't sweet and warm... It held a dark edge at the corners of his lips.. Oh.. If only they knew..
