Nicholai shot another scowl at the hufflepuff boy who he recalled seeing with Kayla, obsered Camira jump upon and was now in a cupboard with his little sister (even if admittedly he wasn't alone). There was almost no way he wouldn't be suspicious of the kid. "Well, would you like me to help you?" |
Stuck firmly to the top shelf and covered with dust so that it blended in, except for a ring on which the jar of eyeballs had been set, was an old worn sheet of parchment which seemed to have been overlooked by the Ravenclaw boy who had been more interested in the contents of the jar. |

"Can you see anything yet, Barry?" |
"Cela, would you like me to levitate you?" Nicholai moved backwards, sure that Barry was missing something. "Maybe we should just try to accio a clue and see if a scroll or scrap of parchment appears." Nicholai muttered. It was worth a try... |

"Accio clue." Nicholai obliged, not really expecting anything to happen but still being firm with the spell. |
Celandine shrugged and began to gently lower Barry so that he was on the ground again. She rubbed her wand hand and offered a smile at Barry before gesturing for Nico to levitate her. |
When nothing happened, Nico shrugged and levitated his sister slowly raising her to the top of the room. "Look around, I'll lower you as you check each shelf, twerp." |
Dominic observed the Slytherin boy and Cela for a moment, not really sure what he should be doing. He didn't particularly want to go someplace else, but he also didn't want to risk having Barry dropped on himself. Though the next thing he knew, older boy was going to levitate Cela. Wait a moment! Who was the SEEKER here!? Frowning, he flicked his wand up towards the top shelves. "Accio parchment." since it was a parchment after all, not a clue. |
Celandine felt herself lift into the air and began to examine the shelves. "Eww, You are right, Barry the eyeballs are gross." Probably though, the clue wouldn't be in any of the jars. Cela began to tentatively move a few of the potions ingredients, unsure what she was looking for but keeping her eyes peeled. |
"Careful with what you touch Cela- some of that stuff on the top shelf is likely to be poisonous." Nicholai watched carefully and turned to the Hufflepuff, "I don't think its going to be that easy as far as just accioing it." Nico shrugged, "I'm Nicholai Toussaint by the way." |
Cela picked up the eyeballs and peered at them, holding them up to the light. She was about to set it down when she noticed something stuck to the shelf. She tentatively reached out and dusted the area off with her hand and brushed the dust off her hand absently as she squinted for a better look. She reached out her hand and prodded what looked like parchment stuck to the shelf. |
Watching the young girl moving the ingredients along the shelf, Dominic was grateful for one reason that it wasn't him up there. At least it weren't his hands that would risk getting grimy from however long those potion ingredients have been up there untouched. Apparently no to the summoning charm, no matter what words used. "Apparently not," Dominic replied back to the Slytherin, who just introduced himself as Nicholai Toussaint. "Domi-" he started to say his name, but then stopped short. Did he just say his last name was Toussaint? Eyes flickering up the girl who had a sudden interest in something on the shelf. Wasn't she --? "Sorry but are you . . . related?" Dominic asked tentatively. |

"Dominic Denton, sorry," Dominic corrected, taking a step back to allow Nicholai room to move away from the dust showers. "Oh. Well that ... makes sense." |
Barry was thankful to be finally back on the firm ground he said to Nico a quick "Hi" and then he looked back up at Cela "Look everywhere Cela in the places you wouldn`t expect a scroll to be! The chances are that it is " he said as he thought back to his trip up he had mainly just been looking at what was in the jars. Then he looked at Dominic "Found your clue yet?" he asked. |
Tossing a glance at Barry casually as the slightly younger ravenclaw first spoke to Cela and then him, Dominic nodded. "Yes. Our prefect - Savannah I think is her name - found it from prodding around the Prefect's Bathroom," the hufflepuff told him nonchalantly, while glancing up at the shelves again. Perhaps he should ask? "Uh ... Do you want me to levitate you up there Barry?" Dom asked, before explaining further. "I mean... four eyes looking ought to be better than just two eyes, right?" Made sense to him. |

"I've got it." Celandine called over her shoulder, "You can put me down now, Nicholai." She shook peeled the parchment off the shelf and shook it madly, sending another shower of dust down on her brother. |
Just as Dominic has offered to levitate Barry, it seemed to be quite unnecessary since Cela exclaimed not a moment later that she 'got it'. And Merlin, it was dusty and disgusting; the fourth year was grateful he was not standing in Nico's place as the dust showered the older slytherin. "Great! I wonder if all the houses have them now," Dominic called up to her, thinking out loud. |
"They probly have. I guess its time for another meeting? Nico do you have yours?" asked Barry quitely at least Cela and Nico were on speaking terms |
Anna rounded the corner and headed towards the Potions Cupboard. She'd heard that the Ravenclaws would be down there looking for a possible clue, and if they'd found it, she needed to tell them about the next meeting on the off chance they hadn't gotten the owl. "Oh, you're here," she said, looking at the assembled clue. "Found anything yet? If you have, you better come quickly! We're all meeting on the ground floor in the entrance hall. Slytherin and Gryffindor are already there. We need the other two houses, though." |
"Its started?" asked Barry he nodded at the others to follow and headed off to the entrance hall. |
Dominic blinked as the female gryffindor prefect suddenly entered the cupboard. How did she know -- but before he could finish his thought, she explained her purpose and what!? They were assembling for the parchments already? Following Barry out of the cupboard, the fourth year made a note to send an owl to his prefect to join them there. |
Nico shook the dust off himself with a scowl and levitated his sister to the ground. He pushed her out the door and stepped out after the others, closing it behind him. |
