Hogwarts RPG Name: Reincarnation "Carr" Jones First Year | Muse of Xevis > | < Defender of Trearlonis > | < Elder of Gostrenac > | < Daughter of Eshoza OOC: *sigh* I thought leaving you guys alone for a couple of days would give everyone enough time to chime in, but I'm missing lots of players. All of the main characters are important to this plot, so I really need everyone to participate.
So, here's what we'll do. We'll time-condense so that everyone (except Elodie) has made it to the Room of Requirement. (Elodie can 'follow' them, if you want, but she doesn't know where everyone's going yet.)
Okay, here we go. I'll post Chase, as well, since I believe Nordic Witch is still on vacation. As all of you meander toward the hallway where you can access the Room of Requirement, you begin to be more and more aware of the fact that the corridors are eerily quiet. You see the occasional student along the way, but they mostly skirt around you like you're cursed. You don't see a single teacher, though, and you remember that the teachers weren't at breakfast, either. And the librarian was missing, too. In fact, the only adults you've seen since last night are the Headmaster and the nurse.
As you go up a flight of stairs, however, you do notice someone walking past you. He doesn't avoid you, like the other students have been. Instead, he barrels through you almost like he doesn't see you, or really realize that you're there. it's Professor Hargreaves, the Divination teacher, and he's looking absolutely livid. Anyone who is particularly familiar with the layout of the castle will note that he seems to be coming from a remote part of the third floor corridor that doesn't get used for much of anything. Kelby and Spence will remember this part of the third floor from stories passed down from your parents' parents as the section of the third floor where a series of traps and enchantments once protected the Sorcerer's Stone. Probably just a coincidence, though, right?
Finally, you reach the Room of Requirement and Fred opens it by pacing in front of a blank expanse of wall three times. You step inside and you see a room large enough to seat all of your comfortably, decorated with several poufs that look like they've been kidnapped from the Divination classroom. You all take a seat and Fred stands in front of you, looking arrogant and a little puffed up. "Thank you, everyone, for acting admirably," he says, smiling. "Now, the spell that binds be to my old school journal didn't really allow for a lot of space for remembering details, so I'm afraid I'm a little rusty with stories." He clears his throat and continues, "However, what I do know is that someone has been interfering with time. Even Hermione couldn't figure out who, but whoever it was, they took... something from the past."
He looks a little crestfallen now before he says, "No one's quite sure what is missing. But we all know that it's something so important that the world as you know it has begun to unravel. Or, well, more accurately, the future as you know it has begun to unravel. It hasn't started effecting the present, yet, but things that are supposed to happen in your future have already begun changing. This missing Artifact is so important to the world that it's changing everything. And that Artifact is somewhere in your time."
Fred pauses then and waits for your reactions. OOC: I'm going to wait for several reactions before I post again.
