A few paces in the Slytherin lad turned back to hear voices descending from the hatch. He squinted and turned his wand slightly, hearing Simon advice them to cast the lumos spell. "Treyen?..." he was pretty sure he recognized the young Puff's voice and a few more whispering and chatting from the group confirmed Sierra, Ellie, Conan and the bubbly Slytherin girl whose name escapes him. "And yeah watch your step." He added, trying to pretend that it was someone else who made the ruckus at the ladder earlier.

He turned back to Simon and ventured forward a few more paces until he stopped suddenly. "Pheeew!" he huffed, waving his free hand trying to clear off the odor "Its getting stronger whatever it is... just couldnt put my finger on it." he whispered audibly. He raised his wand higher and tried to look around claustrophobic area, looking for something "Doesnt this place have some sort of torch or something?"

Oi! May not be the best suggestion if he could only recognize what was causing that stench....

OOC: Sierra went through an open hatch and down stairs to the bottom level. I don't think she can still hear William from way down there.





Hearing Treyen talk to someone who was definitely not her, Sierra turned around, her wand facing outward and in the direction of their company. Ohh, Ellie was down here, too? Sierra hadn't realized the older girl had come with them, but that could have something to do with the fact that they'd all climbed down a really dark flight of stairs to get here.

"You don't...think that's going to happen, do you?" she asked Ellie. You know, the ship sinking. Tough she could sometimes be, but she was no Gryffindor. She'd leave the daring nerve and bravery to the guy up ahead--Simon, she thought his name was. She briefly eyed the stairs but then decided it wasn't worth it to turn around and go back. She'd already gone this far.

Her eyes followed the light of Treyen's wand as he suggested the different directions to go in. She noticed he didn't suggest up, meaning he didn't want to turn around and go back either. She didn't want to open up any barrels. They might explode, and well...yeah, dying just wasn't one of the options she wanted to consider at the moment. What was that Headmaster Tate always told them? Don't die. Yeah, that was it.

With a shrug, she answered, "Right." It seemed like the right way to go. Or, it sounded right, at least. Had he winked at her? Yes, yes he had. Treyen Lockhart was going to drive her insane this school year! Then, just because two could play at that game, she winked at him and said, "Well, ...go on." With her wand, she gestured in the right direction.

Was Conan down here, too? It was hard to tell from just the light of her wand. ...and where was Salamander and the Gryffindor captain?! Hearing voices was easy. Seeing faces was not.

Awesome. Not that they were lost or anything, they'd barely walked as much as to get lost. Still, how much light did the Quidditch Captain want, anyway? His own eyes had grew accustomed to this lighting, kind of.

Either way, Treyen increased the amount of light that was coming out of his wand, happy now, Simon?



Fine, Ellie, FINE. The boy didn't even say that she'd been right about one specific part in case the ship started to sink or whatever, because that wasn't happening anyway. "It doesn't matter," that was his reply. But he wasn't replying to anything the girl just said, it was more as to let the subject drop.

Luck was NOT going to be on their side if the 'sinking' thought was still around.

How come it appeared that Ellie was glad she never took part in that lesson? "You...," he started to say, tilting his head to one side, "...you aren't afraid of spiders, are you?" there was always the chance that she just didn't like the eight-legged creatures, and he was hoping that was the case.

Ha. At her comment on the ship, he had to chuckle and shook his head. There was no way to know if her theories could be right or wrong, or some place in between if she didn't share them, no? He didn't push it, though.

And she knew Conan?! How did she know his favorite Hufflepuff, eh?



Haha. Yes, they'll watch their steps. No problem. Treyen walked closer to the Slytherin boy, "Salander...," he started to say, and frowned upon hearing him say 'torch', "...what do you need a torch for? We have wands, and...I don't think it would be wise to light a fire, after all, some ships used to carry gunpowder back when...ships carried it." Yeah, way to appear smart, Lockhart. He didn't even give any time period or anything.



What?! Why was Sierra bringing up that subject? Treyen HAD to intervene, "It's not, the ship won't sink, Sierra, don't worry about it," like, really, don't worry about it, Treyen will save his Slytherin, no?

As Sierra considered her options, his eyes managed to focus on the floor, and how amazingly loose the pieces of wood seemed to be, maybe there was something hiding underneath, like a monster that was waiting for more Slytherins to feed on.

Er, yeah, that wasn't going to happen either.

As soon as the girl replied, he looked up, just in time to see her wink at him. Funny. He smirked. "Actually, I think right is the opposite direction from Salander and Simon," but they could head right, he had no problem, at all.

They could divide and conquer different parts of the ship.

And she blew kisses towards the camera, but then focused her attention back on Sierra.



"Oh don't pretend you don't like my clapping, dahhhling," she sang as she went down the hatch with Sierra. They were obviously best friends, because well, it was just so obvious by now. So she followed her BFF! down below, holding on to her (for what if she was suddenly attacked by a zombie pirate?) and making heavy, HEAVY breaths. Her breathing was short and quiet at first but the small space was making it all panicky and AND AND WHERE WAS AIR TEMPERATURE AND MERLIN THERE WAS A HORRIBLE STENCH.

"Sierraaaaaaaaaa," she whispered to herself in a sing-song voice, "Sieeeeeerrraaaaa. Mind me, I'm just trying to be comfortable here." And so apparently softly singing her best friend's name made her feel so much better--if that wasn't so creepy.

There were other people here too, right?

"Guys, it smells really really REAAAAALLY bad." It's not like they hadn't known that, but she tightened her grip on Greingoth and tried to wave her wand around her head, all in failure.

"Anyone know the Bubble-Head Charm?" So they could save her from all the stinkiness.

...and here Treyen was concerned that they were heading in the opposite direction than Salamander and Simon? Hmm...no thanks. She'd take the non-torch lit direction, thank you very much. At least if Salamander blew up the ship, she'd be on the opposite side of the explosion anyway.

She nodded at Treyen, agreeing with him that the ship probably wouldn't sink on them. "Hmm. Besides, it probably would have already done so by now," she remarked. Just as she said that, she stepped forward, causing a few pieces of the wood at her feet to creeeeeeeeeeeeeak extra loudly. Right. That didn't freak her out. Right. Not at all.

"Are you scared to go in the opposite direction, Treyen?" she playfully asked, a smirk on her face as she talked. She didn't know if he could see the smirk, but it was there anyway. "Need us girls to take care of you, hmm?" She was all talk, though. Notice she hadn't moved an inch either.


OOC: Editing you in now, Dotterkins.


Hey! It was Sal! Okay, Ellie felt slightly better now. And following his orders to watch her step, she lowered her wand to the ground. She'll just be keeping her eyes there from now on.

As for the ship sinking, "It might." It was true! "But I guess if I really thought so, I wouldn't be on here." Also true. "Not necessarily," she pointed out to Sierra, the ship probably wouldn't have done so before, "Wood floats and it didn't have a dozen or so people aboard before." People added weight.

Ellie pursed her lips AT Treyen. As if you could do that. "Let's not point out all of my fears here, yeah?" It just made things WORSE. Don't do that to her, Treyen.

Again, she didn't say anything about their future direction. Actually, she wanted to go to where Salander was, but the ship wasn't HUGE, so they wouldn't be too far from the older boys if they did go in the opposite direction.

She did "Shhhhh" the loud girl, though. It was just creeeepy the way she was saying Sierra's name like that. And, "not me." Unfortunately she didn't know that charm. Time for another trip to Little Professor's office.
