Default Stack of Barrels


In a nook on the right-hand side of the basement corridor stands a large stack of barrels. To most students, such a sight might seem unimportant. However, to those who were sorted into Hufflepuff, these barrels are invaluable. Concealed behind one of these barrels is the entrance to their common room, which has not been seen by a student belonging to another house in over a thousand years.

Of course, anyone is welcome to attempt accessing the sanctum of Helga Hufflepuff. You only need to tap the barrel two from the bottom, in the middle of the second row, in the rhythm of 'Helga Hufflepuff.' Any member of the loyal lady's house will be able to do this with their eyes closed and get the lid to swing open and expose a crawl-way, but anyone else will find themselves in a sticky situation. If the wrong lid is tapped or the rhythm done incorrectly, you will instantly be doused with vinegar and barred from accessing the common room. With that said, tap carefully.

It might seem strange for a Hufflepuff to be lingering outside the Hufflepuff common room, and no she hadn't forgotten the barrel rhythm. Mamie had agreed to meet Ashley here, and so she was waiting for her friend to come.

Hopefully she'd get here soon though, she was starting to worry that Ashley had backed out of their plan. Ashley's idea, maybe, but Mamie had figured out how to make it work. This was how all the best partnerships worked. One person had the idea, and one person made it work. Like Batman and Alfred. Mamie was obviously Alfred. Or was it the other way around? Or maybe a bad metaphor? Or analogy? She'd have to ask Ash what the difference was.

Ash was here. Of course she was. She would never tell her BESTIE that she was coming and then never show up. Unless she died, of course. And furthermore, they were doing something important today. No fooling around or anything. They were going to get a beanbag and drag it into a certain supply closet. Hopefully, any random students walking by would assume that they had permission for this. that was the hope. Hopefully. "Heyyy Mamie. Are you ready for this?" Ash grinned. This was exciting! And unlikely to work, maybe. But mostly exciting.

Ash was here! She was here! Margaret beamed as she saw her best friend turn the corner. She was still a little unsure where they were taking this beanbag chair that they were...borrowing, but it was for a good cause. Ash deserved to be comfy when she cried alone. Margaret would prefer her friend not be alone when she cried, or not cry at all, but you can't have it all. She had to help where she could.

"Ash! Hi! I'm ready!!" She pulled out her wand. See? She'd even thought it through. It'd be easier to levitate a beanbag than push or drag or carry it. "Should I go get it?!"

"Yes. Let's do this!!!" Yes, they were borrowing this beanbag without permission. But hey, it was for a good cause. Students at Hogwarts needed some safe spaces around here, and a closet with a nice beanbag in it was good enough. Really, she was doing everyone a favor by giving students somewhere they could relax and let all their emotions out. They were all welcome. She was doing this for free. With Mamie's help, of course.

She didn't know how were they going to bring the beanbag, but she assumed it was either magic or dragging it around. Either was fine with her.

GOOD. They were still doing it. Not stealing. Borrowing. They'd put it back at the end of the term. Ash needed her beanbag for Christmas crying. When Margaret wasn't around. Thus, she had a responsibility to help her.

"Okay! You can't come in! So I'll go get it, and we can take it up to your closet, yeah?" She paused a moment, then turned to tap the barrel and disappeared into the common room.

A few moments later, the door swung open and a smaller than useful black beanbag chair floated out, followed by Mamie with her wand out. Levitation and size reduction, she was getting good at magic. "See?!"

Okay. So, it MAY have been minor stealing. But it was justified, and Ash was totally ready to take all the blame for it if they got in trouble. Blah blah blah, I made her do it, etc. I'm a terrible manipulative person. Mamie is a victim. Etc. blah blah blah. Whatever. Ash would take the detention if it meant she could complete her project. Y'know. The open secret that she hoped had not made its way to the headmaster's ears. Because she had definitely not asked first before taking over a supply closet as a safe space for people. Oopsies.

"Hmmm, that's super smart." Much more easy to carry. But... wait... aha. Ash looked at the beanbag. "Think we could shrink it any further? Might be less noticeable." She had almost said less suspicious, but then she didn't. Haha.

It was NOT stealing but if any professors got upset with their...relocating some furniture within the castle...she would gladly take the detention with Ash. Well, not gladly, because she didn't want detention, but she couldn't let Ash suffer alone again. Friends don't let friends get punished alone. Unless a crazy cult leader takes over the school and your friend stands up for herself. Obviously.

And Ash...called her smart? Margaret beamed with pride. She'd been practicing. And...smaller? She nodded, flicking her wand in a v-shape at the beanbag. "Reducio," she muttered, shrinking it further until it was Bludger-sized. "How's that?" At this size...probably best to just carry it, and not levitate it, right?

There was nothing suspicious about two best friends wandering the castle carrying an inanimate Bludger made of cloth and filled with beans. Totally normal.

Ash, on the other hand, was fine to suffer detention alone. It was fine. She'd had lots of detentions before. And she was used to not having anyone in trouble with her. It was normal. She supposed it was alright. Why have two people suffer? Friends kept friends out of trouble. Etc.

"Great. It would probably be more normal if we carried it. It's like a stuffed animal, but it's a bludger." That was the story. For now. "Alternatively, we can say we're practicing levitation on small inanimate objects." She tilted her head slightly. "So... I guess we're carrying it up then."

Seeee? Same page. Mamie ended her levitation and grabbed the...bludger beanbag buddy from the air. She tucked her wand away and hugged the beanbag to herself. "No, this is good," she said, clinging to the beanbag. Maybe she should shrink more of them and have beanbag buddies to cuddle while she did homework.

"...Where are we going, again?" Some closet, she thought Ash had said, but she didn't know which closet. "I'll just follow you?"

"It's cute. It's a new and fashionable type of toy that cool kids have." Ash laughed. "It's essential to our wellbeing. It's... super trendy to carry tiny beanbags around." This was highly amusing. Imagine a suspicious professor coming by and watching two teenagers pretend they carried around tiny stolen beanbags as a trend.

And.. oh. Haha. The location of the closet. Yes. That. "Ummm... it's on the seventh floor, because that's closer to my common room. Sorry." That was a lot of stairs. "You don't have to come if you don't want." Not that she wouldn't enjoy Mamie's company. This wasn't too personal or anything. It wasn't top secret. Ash didn't think Mamie would snitch to a professor about this either. It was just... seriously a LOT of stairs. And they would be taking a lot of breaks. And it could take a while. She didn't want to waste anybody's time.

Mamie laughed too. Who knew stealing lying borrowing a beanbag could be so fun? Well, with a friend, it was.

She barely registered the number of stairs between the basement and the seventh floor. She shrugged. "I like stairs. It's good exercise," she said. Had Ashley forgotten? She loved exercise. Especially...for a purpose. "Let's go!" She headed down the corridor, away from the barrels. Hanging out there any longer...they might have started to look suspicious.

Sure, hanging out with Mamie was fun, but there was something else too. The adrenaline Ash got from sneaking around and doing things she wasn't supposed to... even (especially?) if she got caught, it made her feel good. In the same type of way that surfing did. It was exhilarating.

"Okay then." Ash shrugged. Ash liked exercise. She liked walking. That didn't mean she liked stairs. They just felt so endless... y'know? Step after step. An uphill battle that never ended. She hesitated for a second. The exhilarating feeling was diminished by the feeling of exhaustion and boredom she thought she might face. But she wasn't going to back down now. So after a moment, she turned and followed Mamie.

Okay, so we're doing this.
