Lockdown?! And Celandine was missing? He tried to think of how long it had been since he saw his friends in the other houses. Sabel? Kate? Chaucer? Raiden? If kids were getting hurt, Raiden certainly stuck out with his kneazle ears, didn't he?

Kellen got up from where he was sitting and started looking around for Neptune. Hopefully she was just in her dorm room, and not wandering the castle still. Or one of the ones hurt... He shook the pessimism out of his head.

Miles shook his head slightly as he tried to get the world to stop spinning but only managed to make his head hurt more as another searing pain hit his head. "Yeah it is..." he said with a wince.

As Phoebus walked over toward him...or what he thought was Phoebus he tried to look up but regretted it. Seeing something come in front of his face...he frowned thoughtfully.... Well he said they were fingers but all he was seeing was a giant blur. Let's see...two would be to simple...if he were doing it he'd hold up his hole hand but the thumb doesn't count as a finger. He had to stop himself from giggling at his joke, "Four." He said confidently, but it was an utter lie as he trying to hide the unsureness of his answer as well.

And then someone else came over toward him. He listened carefully and recognized the voice. Shoe girl. "No!" He said panicked as he tried to push himself up. "No I'm fine...I'm fine..." he said as he tried to place his hands on the table and kept missing. Who kept moving it? "Adrianne you're supposed to help with the Lockdown as well...." he said vaguely as he kept failing at pulling himself up. With a sigh he gave up and leaned back against the table. Looking at the two massive blobs in front of him he thought frantically as to which blob had been whom and couldn't remember.

She couldn't believe it, lockdown!? her head was pounding, her eyes wide, and her breathing stopped. But why? Where's the prefect? What's happen?. She asked these over and over again in her head as she looked into the middle of the room, and the tiny figure standing on a table.

She hadn't heard him at first, she was too busy laughing. Glad Maura was also, she didn't want to look out of place, all the stares. She couldn't do! So natually she was paying attention to what was going on around the common room. All the other students talking had been background music. The sudden raised voice made her jump, and completely stop laughing all together. Bella had whipped around to find the source of the noise, which had destroyed her moment of laughter.

She didn't feel like laughing now, all the fun had gone. She felt sick after hearing what was said. She couldn't believe it!

Why would someone do it! WHY!! She shouted in her head. She felt tears in her eyes.

She didn't even know the person, but she or he, She didn't even know what sex!, but the prefect in general [C]had[/C] still is a student.

She hated who had done this, she truely did.

Bella looked over at her friends, to see there reactions.

"Bella,did you hear that!What is going on?Are we even safe?",Scarlett asked Bella anxiously.

Phoebus stepped back a little as Miles started panicking, doing himself more harm than good really at this point. " Dude, calm down," He said, brows furrowed together in concern.

However, relief was also abundant in Phoebus because at least Adrienne was here. Now all he had to do was keep her around and not let her out of his site, and everything would be fine. " yeah, that's what Miles is saying. Which...that's sort of crazy." He said. Concern for Cela was now taking precedence since he'd found and accounted for Adrienne.

Yeah, it was a lockdown, but with Miles acting like he'd gone a little crazy, it looked like for now it was up to Phoebus and Adrienne to get things under control. He looked over at Adrienne and sighed. " I think we do need to take him to the hospital wing." He glanced at Miles, dark eyes unsure as they took in the prefect. " Miles...I know you say you're fine, but you're acting really weird and you look a little crazy," Phoebus said. Might as well be honest, right? " So...we're going to try and take you to see Healer Ashford, because...if you're ill you can't do your job." He spoke almost as if dealing with a crazy person, which...he kind of felt like he might be at this point.

Okay, Miles was so very much not fine, and Adrienne stood her ground as he started having a full-blown panic attack. Even as Phoebus backed up a little. He wouldn't hit her, especially when he couldn't even manage to pull himself to a standing position, so she didn't see a reason to panic herself. Glancing at Phoebus, she shrugged, before glancing back at his chair where she'd placed her pygmy puffs. Nobody had sat on them yet. "Well, if we're on lockdown, obviously the staff doesn't want us to go looking for Cela. I'm kind of hoping she manages to reappear on her own." Hopefully not looking like Reese had in the hospital wing, because that was just disturbing to think about. "She's strong, so," barring complications, and she knew there had to be at least one with how panicky Miles was, "we don't need to panic." Even though the more she thought about it, the more she was starting to worry about the blonde Ravenclaw and how things were spiraling into chaos.

Which brought her back to the male prefect and her friend, and Phoebus was so right. He needed attention of the kind Healer Ashford could give. But first they had to get him there. "Okay, Miles. I'll help with the lockdown," she said, trying to calm him down a little. "You're not by yourself, and you should have known you weren't anyway." There was always her and Livvy, beyond Cela. And that started her wondering where the Head Girl was, in fact. But they needed to get Miles to not spaz. And this looked way beyond chocolate, although for one crazy moment she thought about trying to search the prefect's pockets for some. He usually had it, she knew. "We need you not panicking, though. Phoebus is right, you can't do your job if you stay like this." Next step was going to be either stunning him or petrifying him, if they couldn't talk him into letting them take him down to the hospital wing. But she sincerely hoped it wasn't going to come down to that.

Miles shook his head and backed away from the two blobs. "No! No I don't want to go! She'll give me drugs. Drugs make me go bad..." he pressed his hands to the side of his head and rocked slightly. "My head...its going to explode...I can't." He closed his eyes, squeezing them hard, "Hearing things....voices.....me...." he started babbling not making any sense at all. He needed to stop his head from hurting though cause it just kept getting worse and worse.

Phoebus was quite glad that Adrienne was on his side right now, especially since it seemed Miles was quickly growing more and more agitated. He glanced around the room, knowing people were going to start looking and probably start freaking out about how Miles was freaking out and well....a Common Room freak out was not what any one needed. He and Adrienne needed to nip this one in the bud and quick.


Later, Phoebus would be rather surprised at how well he reacted under pressure since usually he was the one who bent and broke when pushed. However, now he just knew that Miles needed help, and it was too bad if they had to break the lockdown rule to get him help.

He gave Adrienne a small smile as she voiced her agreement, then turned back to Miles. He had his wand in his hand now, ready to Stun or otherwise immobilize Miles if he seemed like he'd hurt himself. " She won't give you anything but a potion, " Hopefully a STRONG calming draught, " And help you. if your head hurts that much, somethings wrong. I cant' fix it, Adrienne can't...and you can't. We're just going to help. I promise Healer Ashford is NOT going to hurt you," He said, his tone of voice growing more concerned as Miles started babbling more and becoming even more incoherent.

I have Cinn's permission
 

"Yeah, You're Bella right? didn't we meet last year? Emily Moonfield."
"I'm fine, I'm really sorry it was just an interesting book is all, I thought I was going the right way but I guess after two years I'm still not good at feeling my way through the common room."
"Thanks" Emily said taking back her book and pocketing it. "My name is Emily Moonfield." She said still a little nervous, the last older person she had run (literally) into was a very irritable Hufflepuff that had screamed at her. "I really am quite clumsy you know, hitting my head on sign, walking into poles. Happens all the time i never get hurt for minor falls like that thanks to this ring My friend gave me." Emily said showing the silver dragon ring with sapphire eyes. "My friend is half elf and she blessed this with elven magic to keep me from being hurt by minor falls." Emily said.

Emily's eyes widened as the lockdown message was spread to the common room. "L-lockdown?" Emily said and sat on the floor on her knees next to the people she had addressed. "Are... are we in danger? what's going to happen?" Emily asked then, she was getting scared. The only time she had heard about lockdown was when her mother would read her history books about deatheaters attacking the castle.

Miles just kept shaking his head as the both of blobs spoke to him. Wait who were they again? He couldn't remember. "No...I can't go. I won't. You can't make me!" He was growing hysterical with fear. He was afraid what the healer would find. What if something really bad was wrong with him? What if it wasn't curable? What if.... His mind kept racing a mile a minute, his usual pace if it wasn't so scrambled with incomprehensible thoughts. What was going on with him?! In the back of his mind he registered a wand being pointed at him and the words that were as if they were in apology of something about to be done but it didn't register right away. The next thing he knew he was slumping over immobilized and unconscious.

Phoebus was quite thankful that Adrienne did the Stunning, only because he felt Miles might better react later when he realized it had been Adrienne who'd done it. As soon as he fell over, PHoebus rushed to catch him. " Man. He's wiry but heavy," He said, flicking his wand up and casting a silent hovering charm on him.

" Just to be safe," He said to Adrienne and then used another silent spell to conjure up some...well it was supposed to be rope, but it was more like cord, oh well it would just simply have to DO. " Just so if he wakes up, he doesn't go crazy and hurt himself." He explained as he tied hsi hands and legs together. " I guess....let's go," he said, using his wand to direct the unconscious Miles out of the room.

Bella looked over at Scarlett, her face showing fear. She didn't know the answer to her friends question, she just didn't. She shook her head and looked down.

"I dont know Scarlett, it just all seems so unreal to me. Why would someone do that to a student?" She said looking at all her friends.

She frowned at Emily, it hadn't been last year, more like this year. She was certain. "No i think it was on the train, wasn't it?" She asked, wanting to get her facts right.

"Oh yeah, sorry, I'm terrible with times." Emily said, the train ride felt so long ago, after all on the train she found out about her grandmothers death and with all of the problems with missing students, the castle lockdown, and now an attack on the school, everything else seemed so distant.

"Right now it's hard to think straight, I'm just so scared, and confused." Emily said. She knew that if she kept talking it might keep her from fainting, so she decided to try and keep a conversation.

Bella chuckled, "Dont worry Emily, Im bad with times also" She smiled at the girl and looked round the common room again.

Looking back she said, "You alright?" The girl did look a bit faint, she was afraid she would faint on her!

Emily took a deep breath "no I'm okay." Emily said, "Just so much drama in the castle and in my family is running through my head, making me a little dizzy." Emily sat down on the floor and closed her eyes for a moment

Bella went to kneal down next to Emily and rubbed her back, "Me too Emily, me too" She said, hoping to ease the girls thoughts, she was telling the truth, even the thought of her parents brough tears to her eyes. She smiled down at her friend weakly.

Damon was once again in the common room. He was wanting to work on his runes homework and so he had everything he would need for that of course. Damon had just been in the great hall but had had very little to eat still studying came first in this case. He sang a tune silently to himself as he worked. He had noticed the many things that were going on around the school.

Bonnie walked in, well, glided in. She clutched the spine of her book tightly. She heart thuded. Her dark blond hair flowed down her back. She looked around in annoyance. Not a soul she knew! Where was Damon or someone? She had been so busy with damn school work that she rarely got to see her boyfriend. She chocolate brown eyes found what she was looking for.

Smile.

She skipped over and sat down next to Damon. "Hey!" she sang. "You're singing!" she pointed out. Bonnie smiled and hugged him. She then pointed out an answer to him quietly. "How've you been?" she asked, laying her head on his shoulder for a second, kinda afraid to go more then a second. Damon REALLY liked to take things slow. Which dissapointed her a bit.

"I'm doing good just trying to stay busy but i'm glad you are here" Damon said. He always looked forward to seeing Bonnie it really made him happy when she showed up. Damon wanted her to come along to the lake again. "Lets go to the lake again Bonnie its very nice out there."

Emily smiled up at her "Thanks" she said, "For understanding." Emily then wondered when her father would get back to her, she KNEW that he HAD to be a wizard and just hiding it.

"It's ok Emily, were sorta on the same page. Family troubles" She smiled weakly and whipped her eyes. Sitting down again she look around the common room, which still looked like it was shut down. Shaking her head at whom would do something so mean! She thought of something to say.
