SPOILER!!: Narrator

After following the line, Iris frowned. She didn't have a clue where it led to... it wasn't clear enough. Brilliant. Maybe it would just be a good idea to have everyone go back to their common rooms now, and go get a teacher.

SPOILER!!: Kurumi

Iris looked at the younger Gryffindor as she appeared and asked her question. The Head Girl shook her head. " 'fraid not, Kurumi. This is no scavenger hunt. Not one the teachers could have planned, anyway..."

SPOILER!!: Sierra

... Gosh. There were SO many people passing by here today. Normally this part of the corridors were really empty... Seeing Sierra, Iris frowned. Why was she talking like a pirate? "This X. That's why.... and we don't know."

SPOILER!!: Lexi

The Head Girl looked at Lexi. She didn't even notice her arrive. Glaring at the girl, she folded her arms. "As stupid as we look??" she repeated, cocking an eyebrow. "Why? What does that X mark, exactly? Because it's really not that clear. Go on, tell me that..." if you're so much smarter than the rest of us. Being perfectly honest, Lexi irritated Iris a fair bit. She could be all right at times... but others...

SPOILER!!: Salander; X's on the fods!

Iris glanced at Salander as he started yelling at Kurumi. Iris hadn't even seen her go near the X. "Oi, Salander. She was only doing what everyone else here is too afraid of doing. There's no need to yell at her and call her names!" FROWN.

As the boy moved and stood in front of the X, Iris raised her eyebrow and moved closer to the boy. Haven't we seen a red X before? "Well, actually; no. Not on a wall in Hogwarts, at least and certainly not in something that looks like blood." Watching as he took out his wand, Iris clenched her teeth together. "What in the name of Merlin are you doing? Put that wand down right now." ... What? ... WHAT THE HELL?! Turning around and looking at the students nearest to her, Iris gasped. "What the heck have you done that for, Salander? Get rid of them, NOW." This meant SHE had an X on her forehead too, didn't it? GAH. This better be reversible.

"Actually, NO. No one is moving from where they're stood until a teacher gets here." Mainly because she wanted this X off her head, and she wasn't risking using something to get rid of it herself.

SPOILER!!: Treyen

Spotting Treyen, Iris dashed over to him. She was still frowning. "It's no use, these things aren't going to come off like that." Iris hadn't even tried to but she just knew that.

But anyway; more important things. "Someone's done something to Salander. He's not his usual self..."

Looking around at the students, she'd ignored most of their conversations and ideas and suggestions. Some of them looked annoyed, others looked scared. Overhearing one of the younger students saying Tate was on his way, Iris looked back to the Hufflepuff Prefect with a worried face. "Treyen, we have to make sure that everyone stays where they are... They need to have those X's removed; they're obviously something more dangerous than face paint."

"EVERYONE LISTEN TO ME." She yelled, looking around. "No one is to leave this corridor until Headmaster Tate gets here. NO ONE. I don't know what this X is that Salander has put on our foreheads and I don't know how to get rid of them. Nor do I know if they'll have any other kind of effect on us. Stay here, and Tate will know how to get rid of them. Anyone and everyone with the wands out: put them away NOW. There's no need for them."

SPOILER!!: Salander

As he cast a protective sheild around him and the X, Iris rolled her eyes. This boy REALLY was not in his right state of mind. "What are you doing that for, now?!"

... gold?

...

GOLD?!

What on Earth was he waffling on about. "Why would any of these students want to sabotage some gold? ... Why would there even be any gold in the wall?" Yes, he was talking to Lexi. However, Iris was stood very close to the protective bubble and had exceptionally brilliant hearing.

Walking away from the X, Iris rubbed her temples and leant against the opposite wall. Closing her eyes, she sighed and slid down the wall so she was sat on the floor. Not knowing what was going on really frustrated her, and these X's weren't helping. A nice, quiet year at Hogwarts. That's all she wanted for her last year in the place. That was obviously never going to happen though, was it?

More to the point, Iris wished that this was all just going to be an elaborately ridiculous practical joke. However, she was really beginning to doubt that idea. Salander just really didn't seem himself right now. Like... a someone-casted-a-spell-of-sorts-on-him-and-now-he-doesn't-know-that-he's-being-an-evil-pirate kind of not seeming like himself.

Maybe it would just be a good idea to have everyone go back to their common rooms now, and go get a teacher. SPOILER!!: Kurumi Quote: Originally Posted by sweetpinkpixie Kurumi was jogging the corridors again when she spotted a crowd of people looking at the wall. At first, all she saw was a rather large and suspicious looking X along with some text that was hard to make out what it was saying. In her mind, she instantly thought that Mr. Viking had written on the wall. He made no sense when he spoke, so she assumed the same was for his writing. Then, her eyes widened a bit. She had read about red writing on the walls of Hogwarts before and THAT time hadn’t been good. MERLOIN’S GHOST! SOMEONE HAD OPENED THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS AGAIN! Jogging a bit closer, Kurumi saw many familiar faces. “S-S-Someone trying to start a scavenger hunt?” she asked innocently popping her head between Salander and Vashti. Kurumi peered a bit closer and did probably one of the dumber things to do in the situation – stuck out her hand and pressed it against the bottom part of the right side if the X. It was a little wet and sticky to touch. Iris looked at the younger Gryffindor as she appeared and asked her question. The Head Girl shook her head. " 'fraid not, Kurumi. This is no scavenger hunt. Not one the teachers could have planned, anyway..." SPOILER!!: Sierra Quote: Originally Posted by Anna Banana Sierra had just stalked away (angrily, mind you) from that blasted room which refused to let her in, when she came across a group of students gathered randomly in the corridor. She walked until she came to a stop by Salamander, although why she randomly chose Salamander, she didn't know. "Well, sink me!" she exclaimed. "What are ye corsairs doing 'round here?" She peered around at each member of the group, her eyes finally falling on the red X that apparently marked the spot. "Hmm," she mumbled, "who graffiti'ed the wall?" Could have come up with something a little more clever to say, hmm? ... Gosh. There were SO many people passing by here today. Normally this part of the corridors were really empty... Seeing Sierra, Iris frowned. Why was she talking like a pirate? "This X. That's why.... and we don't know." SPOILER!!: Lexi Quote: Originally Posted by Pinky Okay... Lexi HAD left from the Spirit Room in the OPPOSITE direction of the stupid Slytherin bilge rat, but she found herself turning around and marching off in that direction eventually. And all the same she CLEARLY should have been around this way it seemed. They were all ridiculous. "Blimey! You lot must be as stupid as ye look. X marks the spot... You lot are nothin' but a bunch of landlubbers! Argh!" CLEARLY it was talking about treasure. BOOTY if you will. Glancing at the little Slytherin (Sierra) Lexi squinted her good eye and pulled a face. "It's ye who knows where the booty is. DON'T YE?! Well go on then you filthy bilge rat! Tell us where it be!" The Head Girl looked at Lexi. She didn't even notice her arrive. Glaring at the girl, she folded her arms. "As stupid as we look??" she repeated, cocking an eyebrow. "Why? What does that X mark, exactly? Because it's really not that clear. Go on, tell me that..." if you're so much smarter than the rest of us. Being perfectly honest, Lexi irritated Iris a fair bit. She could be all right at times... but others... SPOILER!!: Salander; X's on the fods! Quote: Originally Posted by Steelsheen More people started coming around to stare at the red X. Salander still keeping mostly to himself, hung back lazily and started to lean against the opposite wall. Then voices were raised. People were getting upset. He huffed through his nose and started to smirk nonchalantly. He just found it amusing to see people get worked up over something trivial.... Then suddenly something came over him. First he heard Lexi arguing with Sierra and yelling booty then he saw Kurumi eyeing the X and sticking her finger in.... An inexplicable rumble emitted from his lips, then rushed to push people aside and yanked Kurumi's hand from the wall. "Yarr! Dun touch that nosey vermin! Keep yer filthy hands to yerthelf!" he yelled over the din at the young Gryffindor, gripping her hand above her head and glared down "Who told ye to touch that ey? Who sent ye snoopin' around?!?" he growled then pushed her away as he released her hand. He planted himself firmly in front of the X, trying to block it from people's view "Aye, what be you all starin' at? Ha'ent any o' you seen a red X bef'r?" He took out his wand and cast a spell, splattering a red X on each of their foreheads, save for Sierra and Lola "Thar, why dun ye all stare at thar Xses on them noggins eh? Thar's nothin' to spy wit' har, move along! Move along!" Iris glanced at Salander as he started yelling at Kurumi. Iris hadn't even seen her go near the X. "Oi, Salander. She was only doing what everyone else here is too afraid of doing. There's no need to yell at her and call her names!" FROWN.

SPOILER!!: Treyen Quote: Originally Posted by Lockhartian Yes, Kurumi, everything is wrong...because...why was she touching what was on the wall. You know, he started to believe this was nothing, just someone painting corridor and playing a joke on them. It was probably Jacob, by the way, since he was the one who knew most about pirates, and the whole 'ship' suggestion made sense. Pirates used X's on maps, no? He was thinking of leaving, and then someone will send him a flying memo of how this all turned out, but then Lola happened. "I did nothing," he said, shaking his head, he didn't even notice the redness until the Ravenclaws pointed it out to him. And...she called him Treyen. He missed being called Train, though. But, yeah, whatever. AND WHAT WAS SHE DOING WITH HER WAND AGAIN!? And what was she sayiiiiing?! He understood nothing Lady Awesome, Sierra, nor Lola were saying. "I told you not to point your wand at me," he glared first, and then waved her wand away. His other hand was already holding his wand for Lola, and the only one that could see that was probably the Ravenclaw boy (Eino) who was standing behind him... ...hey, why was he standing behind him?? He snapped out of the glaring once Salander spoke...and...yeah, said...whatever he'd said. And then...WHAAAAT?! Blink. He instantly started to try and wipe off whatever SALAMANDER had sent upon them...Blink. Spotting Treyen, Iris dashed over to him. She was still frowning. "It's no use, these things aren't going to come off like that." Iris hadn't even tried to but she just knew that. But anyway; more important things. "Someone's done something to Salander.

There's no need for them." SPOILER!!: Salander Quote: Originally Posted by Steelsheen Between Kurumi yelling Parlay, wands drawn against himself and Lexi and about half the crowd trying to take shots at them with hexes and fists, Salander's brain felt like swiss cheese, instincts pulling him in two different directions. Whats going on? Why are they yelling and fighting?.... Arrrrr why be the landlubbers still har? Warnt they told t' scram already? Tryin' to take shots at them too be they? He timed Lexi's wand to be pointed away from him as he cast a strong shield charm over the small area right infront of the red X. Arrr gotta protect the lovely booty from these buccaneers. Aye thats what they be, each and everyone of them. He calls out to Ivan clearly in his voice, but as soon as the Ravenclaw starts flicking the coin that haze takes over again. Aye this be here his mateys, with one last straggler he hopes would come around soon. He shifts his head to young Sierra, eyeing the Ravenclaw lassy being pulled away by the young landlubber. Aye blackspotted indeed Master.... Would ne'er forget that. Gar.... Keeping his eye, and wand, on Lexi he reaches behind him and touches the red X. He drew his hand to himself, rubbing his fingers together. "Aye who be it that would want t' rev'l this most sacred spot?" he mutters as he eyes Lexi suspiciously "It be yer lot wouldnt it? Tryin' to sabotage 'n keep all th' gold fer yerselfs be ye?" As he cast a protective sheild around him and the X, Iris rolled her eyes. This boy REALLY was not in his right state of mind. "What are you doing that for, now?!" ... gold? ... GOLD?! What on Earth was he waffling on about. "Why would any of these students want to sabotage some gold? ...
