He pulled his scarf up over his nose, as it drifted down. Oh no, the frostbite! Those few seconds may have started off the frostbite procedure.

He shuffled onto the ship, his arms folded to his chest. He peered over his scarf to see if he knew anyone. He spotted Treyen and Ellie. And....Sierra. He shuffled up to them. "Um hi guys," he called, muffled by his scarf.


SPOILER!!: Sierra

It was old and disgusting, and if it hadn't been for the fact that she, just like all the others, was curious about its presence here, she'd be back in the comfort of the dungeons.



"Of course I'm okay," ...you idiotic Hufflepuff. "...but I won't be if you don't stop blinding me with that stupid camera of yours." With her wand held out in front of her, she cast lumos. Ahh, she was on the very last step--excellent. She stepped to the floor below and started looking around for the others.



Oh, and Treyen was down here, too! At least that made one person she could see. Now why hadn't the headmaster or at least the flying instructor stepped down here with them, hmm?! "Mr. Stryker, ...hmm," she said, shrugging. "I don't really know him that well, but it didn't seem like Vinny or the headmaster knew much about it. You'd think if Stryker put it here, he'd at least okay it with the big man at the top."

She paused when a board creaked underneath her feet. Great. Just great. "So, ...what exactly are we looking for down here?" she wondered aloud. Or where they just looking to be looking?



Was that Conan? She thought that was the sound of the Hufflepuff boy's voice. "Down here!" she called from the hatch.


SPOILER!!: Treyen

Still, it was logical that he wouldn't be bothered, after all, it's not like they were at the middle of the lake. Swimming to shore won't take as long, nor make them too tired.

But, yeah, that wasn't happening, anyway.

What? "You know, with Saylen...," that was during his third year, "...wait, you didn't attend that lesson?" he remembered Salander, Kurumi, Legend, Diggy and Emmy in there, because they were kind of next to him, but he was having issues placing Ellie in the lesson. No arachnids were harmed, though, just stunned. And no humans were harmed either, not physically, at least.

Actually, being closer to Ellie proved to be rather uncomfortable for him right now, maybe the fact that it was still darker than usual made it all awkward in his head. That's why he took a couple steps away and pretended to wander into the ship, or towards the two figures up there, even more. The boy froze in place when the Ravenclaw spoke again, "That...makes sense," he said, smiling towards her. See? She was clever, he didn't consider the article into any of this.

He noticed something as he saw her, "You have something in mind, though," he accused, nicely of course. It seemed Ellie had her own ideas about the ship, she could share them too. If she felt like doing so.



Granted. The girls were always right. Both Ellie and Sierra had managed to follow the same train of thought.

"Maybe it was Masterson," he said, mostly to himself. As a matter of fact, he didn't even intend to say it out loud. But, Hogwarts was still a strange place, anything could happen. At least, Mr. Stryker was free of charge. "You're right," the boy finally said, with one nod. Vindictus, in particular, had been rather interested in the ship.

And he kept on walking a bit farther into the ship, lighting up some unidentified barrels, and then realized that the figures he thought were Salander and Simon...actually weren't.

Then the pretty Slytherin asked a question, "I don't even know what the others are looking for," he'd heard Salander speak of something to drink, but paid little attention to that, "Unless you want to open up some barrels...our only choices are...going left, or right, or up." His wand lighted up the choices, except the last one, because going up meant going back.

"You decide," he winked, it was clear he had no preference as to which way they took. But maybe Ellie wouldn't want to take more stairs down...unless they got to see Barty down there. Now, that would be awesome.



Until he heard some voice far away, he knew the voice, it was his favorite Hufflepuff.

Conan!

Sierra's boyfriend, no? The second year Huffie was cold, wasn't he? They weren't in December yet. Poor kid. "Conan!" he exclaimed, widening his own smile, "Where's your wand?" CONSTANT VIGILANCE, CONAN! Especially since they were in a mystery ship.

Emphasis on 'mystery'.


SPOILER!!: Simon

The more people down there that had a lit wand, the more light the group as a whole had to look around the darkened interior. The Gryffindor briefly watched to see who responded before he then turned his attention back to his own exploration, still wondering what the smell the Slytherin had first noticed indeed was.


"But I'd rather not." Swimming in a murky lake with who knows what kind of creatures didn't sound like a good idea. "Plus, if the ship sank, it'd create a vacuum, wouldn't it? And pull us down with it." So that'd be a prolonged amount of swimming, and Ellie didn't know how to do a Bubble-head Charm.

No, she was NOT there. Luckily, too, apparently. "I suppose not," she shrugged. But REALLY it was a good thing. She could barely handle Matilda, let alone an Acromantula.

So Sierra didn't think it was Stryker either? Hah. Outnumbered there, Treyen. About her theories, Ellie nodded, "Yeah, but, I doubt anything's true."

And this was where Ellie wanted to say 'up'. As in back. As in on shore, in the castle, and maybe eating chocolate or something. But part of her wanted to stay on, and keep going while she was already there. So, she stayed silent leaving Sierra to choose, really.

Hearing a kid ahead of them telling them to light their wands, Ellie did so. Just as Conan arrived. ...Was that a good idea? And, yeah, where was his wand? She could care less if he didn't believe in magic, he should still have it with him, out and ready.

Was he cold? Mann. Why was he out if he was cold? ODD child, that one. Sigh. "Hi, Conan..." Take out your wand. Do it.
