SPOILER!!: Mick

Ethan covered a rather large yawn with his hand. The novelty of "camping" was starting to wear off and he really wanted to take his tired self to bed. His mind did not even want to entertain the idea of sleeping on the floor.. though he had a sinking feeling that that was were he was going to end up. The boy figured singing time was over as Mick either didn't know any more or was tired of the one they had sung a few times. It didn't seem like anyone else felt much like continuing anyway, as few had joined in and no one else started another.

He glanced over at the boy next to him as he heard him mumble something about weirdness. Ethan nodded in agreement and said to him quietly, "A lot of strange things have been happening lately.. I wonder if they're connected somehow." He thought maybe, somehow.. but his tired mind was far too exhausted to try to put two and two together. Ask him after he's had some sleep.

SPOILER!!: Eliza

Hopefully anyone with information would come soon anyway, she didn't really care who it was. Come to think of it, she wasn't sure she knew who that man was, that Ethan mentioned. "I'm not sure if I've met Professor V yet. What's he like?" Sitting here not knowing a single thing was driving her crazy. Ok, if we are all out of our common rooms like that Slytherin girl told us, that means... What does it mean? Does someone want us all to be really tired tomorrow? If we're all tired...maybe we will be down on our guard. But for what? She was beginning to wonder where Cora was, but there were a lot of students outside the door so she really could be in there amongst them. She was small after all. She drew a sharp breath when the thought that maybe Cora had been banished somewhere different from everyone else crossed her mind. She hoped she was all right.

The first year pulled out her sketchbook and began making a list of what she knew to try to help figure this out. Her mind would be swimming in it all anyway, so she thought she might as well get it on paper.

SPOILER!!: Sketchpad Notes

Think, think, think...

"Does anyone think this might have something to do with how the train stopped? I mean, this is the second time we've been magically sabotaged this year. Weird, right?" Okay so maybe sabotaged was a bit strong, but oh well. She hoped people didn't think she was crazy, but someone here must be thinking the same things as her. They were Ravenclaws after all. They needed to be at the forefront of this investigation. Maybe some of the Slytherins here could help figure out what was happening too, being good at achieving their goals by whatever means necessary and all.

SPOILER!!: Sketchpad Notes

As Mick started talking to another of their housemates, Ethan turned back to Eliza. "Oh.. Professor Vindictus, actually. He's our Head of House." Come to think of it, Ethan hadn't met him yet either, but he certainly knew who their HoH was.. "I don't know what he's like," he shrugged. "But I'm sure he'll know what to do." That he was fairly certain of.. Adults usually had a pretty good handle on things and one didn't get to be Head of House without knowing what he was doing, right? "I've not met him yet.. but apparently he used to be a famous Quidditch player ages ago. My mum told me a bit about him.. he was here when she was going to school." Which meant he was ancient.

He glanced over to her sketchbook as she began doodling in it. "Whatcha got over there?" he asked as he peered over her shoulder. Ethan caught a glimpse of what was written and gave Eliza a curious look. It was somewhat apparent that she didn't really believe his "everything will be fine" spiel and that made him feel a little bad for some reason. He didn't want her to worry, but he should have known better. She was a Ravenclaw, after all, and wouldn't be pacified by stock answers.

He glanced up as a couple Slytherins joined them and gave them some information.. the other houses were locked out too? The boy did not like the sound of that at all.. obviously it was more than a prank or magical malfunction. He glanced back at Eliza and her sketchpad with a grim smile, his eyes scanning her list. "Don't forget that the House tables are missing from the Great Hall." Did that have anything to do with any of this? His guess was as good as anyone's.. And the train? There was something he was wondering. "Eliza," he said to her quietly. "What exactly happened with the train? I came here a week into the school year and I wasn't on it." He knew that it had stopped but had only heard that bit about it when he wasn't daydreaming in History of Magic class.

He didn't know any other camping songs anyway He liked how Ethan went along with it, so it wasn't like he was the only goofball singing a song originally sung by a talking sponge named Bob. He sat there, cross-legged, staring at the fire. His mind went to other places. He thought about his mother and father, considered writing to the both of them when the madness is over. He thought about the question the younger girl, sitting next to Ethan, asked. "This is weird, even for Hogwarts," he whispered to himself. "What is going on?" He assured himself that everything was going to be okay, hoping to be back in his bed very soon. Ethan covered a rather large yawn with his hand.
