Amy nodded, I guess, I mean, historicly there must of been something, she mused, perhaps...oooh, a mutiny would be quite interesting. AND definatley historical, maybe they could stage their own mutiny until La Flame stopped bullying them. Or maybe that would take too long, because, if Amy was right, then La Flame had no heart, for anyone, and you couldn't really "defrost" a heart...

Sure she nodded grinning at the, she knew it, prefect. Still, maybe prefects wern't as scary or as neeky as books and films portrayed them. The famous..uhh, eight. Good title. Amy, she nodded, fourth year Puff, no title she nodded.

Well, Pizza Budeh wasn't one, or weirdest child ever, or purple dinosaur no. 1. Unless you were in Hufflepuff. Then it was like a house award. But perhaps a prefect wouldn't be so impressed...

Ooooh, thankies Mikey Amy grinned at the little Welshey. Naww, sometimes it was a little difficult to understand him, but Amy loved him, he was just so sweet, and so funny. Loved in a FRIEND way. Not..that way. She took a bit and dabbed it.

Ow.

Ooh. Actually..OWWWWWWWW!

Her nose burned and her eyes watered and she yelped. Then it was over. Thankfully. Maybe Amy was just a wuss. Though maybe not. Thanks she nodded, her nose still smarting and her eyes still a little watery

It was scary how much Elektra was slowly starting to becme her father Connor. he just hoped it won't escalte to the way her dad acted in his seventh year. Still not being used to the fact that she only found out that she was a witch a year ago she just put up this wall to make it seem like she knew for a long time. There was still so much that she needed to learn, but that was gonna take some time. "Violet Le Veela? She happens to be a best fr-" As Elektra lowered the hat again and and then put the hat back and fixed her hair and then riased her eyebrow pausing from a sentence she was about to say to him and she slowly turned around and thought to herself, Violet? How the bloody-Oh, bloody hell! Elektra looked at the Gryffindor carefully again and her eyes widened. Now she knew who this was. That's CHRISTOPHER!! Violet's Christopher! "Wait a minute! You're...the Christopher? Vi's Christopher? My best firend's Christopher? The Third Year?"

Hannah did a facepalm and then smiled at her brother.Can you not embarrass me in front of people i dont know.Willaim i can pick you up you know she said with a luagh.

Carter nearly made his way to the boat from the pitch via his broom. He was running late (which seemed to always happen when he was out on his broom). However, he decided he did not want to be caught again riding his broom on the grounds... so he ran the whole way there.

He wandered around the deck for a few minutes before spotting Caroline and who he assumed to be Kyle. "Ahoy!" he called to them.

What? If they were going to be on a pirate ship, he was going to act like a pirate. So what if the ship wasn't actually a pirate ship.

" You welcome" William told Heather. " Yes, my father would love my picture" William said to Heather. Well, you do not want a howler" William explained to Heather.


" I never embarass you" William told Heather laughing. " Ye shall walk the gangplank" William said to Heather. " I do not need to be picked up" William explained to Heather.

I might be 5'11 and 119 pounds and can lift up to 225 pounds.I already walk it i'm trying to get you up here.She took out her camrema this is for mom and dad smile and then say cheese.the flash was off and then she smiled i got the photo.

This was definitely something Ellie had wanted to do with Little Professor if she was going to do it at all. Exploring the ship. But he was busy being a Professor now. It was the beginning of the school year, and people needed him for whatever reason and she couldn't hog him anymore. So she ventured out alone, nervously twisting the handle of her bag around her hand.

She wasn't sure if she was really surprised or not of how many people were already on board. Jacob was, of course. Cue eyeroll. But Tate was there too, which made her feel LOADS better. She trusted him. She had to. He did run the school she lived at the majority of the year. And she spotted Salander and Finn as well, and felt like they were acceptable people to trust judgement-wise. If they were on the boat, she could be on the boat.

Couldnt' have him breaking the thing with his clumsiness.

"Oh...." How on earth had that happened. Surely Finlay should be a higher rank seeing as he was the headboy. That was totally not good. Oh whatever. They were only playing, and it wasn't like the ship could move. Waaiit. Finlay had to clean. "I'm the Captain. I don't clean." He made people clean. Finlay glanced down at the main deck again, before pointing at someone. "You therree!" Oh...it looked like it was Kyle from the yearbook. "Come do some cleaning for your Captain!" She was probably going to look at him look he was mental but oh well.

"There we go...got myself a cleaner."

Well, despite how Finn thought Kyle would respond when she was pointed at she first looked behind her checking if he was talking to her. Right she was on the gang plank there was nothing but water behind her. Hello water.

She laughed, when he said for her to clean. Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea - but then again knowing her luck she'd sink the ship, or fall over board. All bad things seeing Caroline couldn't swim. Still, if Caroline had fallen off well, that would be bad and Kyle would jump in after her and probably hurt herself on the way in.

Brilliant. Pushing the bad bad bad thoughts aside she comically saluted Finn she was trying to make light of the fact they were on an ancient ship.

"Aye! Aye! Captain" she called over as she finished saluting him.

He wandered around the deck for a few minutes before spotting Caroline and who he assumed to be Kyle. "Ahoy!" he called to them.

What? If they were going to be on a pirate ship, he was going to act like a pirate. So what if the ship wasn't actually a pirate ship.

And then as she finished saluting and saying she would clean a bit, Carter walked up or it was who she assuedm to be Carter. She smiled none the less.

She waved slightly as he said ahoy to her and Caroline, "Ahoy Matey!" she repeated all pirate-like. Boy this was going to be fun. "So apparently i've got to clean a bit," she nearly giggled, well she laughed but it wasn't as obnoxious as a giggle...but still as happy.

Yeah she was happy go lucky today. Walking further onto the deck she hooked a rope to the wall using a lovely little square knot knowing it would tighten when pulled, unless pulled correctly. Unaware she left a little bit loose, because after all who would think two feet of rope would be a big deal. Unless it wasn't actually two feet and the knot only partially worked and when pulled if it got attached to someones foot...they'd be under water, well up to their forhead, and yeah can you say blood rushing to the head?

But, nothing happened - luckily. Except her boot buckle came far too close to connecting to the rope and that wouldn't be good - much harder than sandals. Much much harder.

"Don't fall off the boat, not infront of Simon" she whispered unaware that Caroline and Carter could hear.

Treyen had overheard Finn asking some other Ravenclaw to clean things up for him and raised an eyebrow at the Head Boy. Clearly, the badge had gone to his head, no?

Then his eyes caught someone that he soooo wasn't going to let become part of Finlay's Crew, because, there was no Crew, and Finn was just...overdoing things. Clearly, mutiny was on its way if he kept it that way. Game-wise, of course.

"Ellie!" he called, and gestured for his favorite Ravenclaw to come, "You should join us," as in...Sierra, too, and once they were down there, then Salander and Simon. Yup, she should.

The Ravenclaw looked around at the sound of her name. Treyen! Ellie hadn't seen him at first, but she trusted him, too and rushed over. Being close to people was good.

Swallow. Ellie gave Sierra a nod of acknowledgement. "Down there?" she asked, eyes wandering to the hatch. "Into the dark depths of the unknown?" Where the arthropods dwell? "There better not be spiders..." Or bugs of any sort.

She should probably get her wand out, yeah?

Hm. Looks like Elise had accidentally hit a nerve. Usually she made people annoyed on purpose so doing it accidentally gave her a different feeling. She almost felt like apologizing but that was a bit weak. Maybe some other time. "Well in that case I'll stick with Salamandrius until I think of a suitable nickname." Elise nodded and walked with the boy towards the open hatch. As old as this ship was, there had to be a lot of things to discover. Maybe there was hidden treasure like in the stories her mother used to read to her when she was a kid.

When Salamandrius moved to the side for Elise to go down into the hatch she took a deep breath and started the descent into the ship. The farther down she went, the more likely she thought she was going to fall. When she reached level ground again, she stepped to the side and looked up towards Salamandrius, waiting for him to join her.

Mordred paused on his tracks to let Oakey catch up. He felt his wand underneath his sleeve and gave a small sigh. "Oi! Come on!" he turned and gestured Oakey to follow him. He simply cannot wait to explore the belly of the ship. Just when he was about to head for the quarters...

He looked up to see a a fellow Slytherin who was also about to explore the quarters. "All right, go on." he said as he gestured the girl and the prefect to go first.

"You go first Oakey. I don't want you tumbling over me in case you fall." he said with a smirk as he waited for the others to go down. He wasn't going to allow himself to mop the floor with his robes again.

Tate glanced at the hat for a moment, with consideration, before flipping it onto the railing. He leaned back against said railing a moment later, arms crossed, and took in the antics around him. There was definite shenanigans going on with Finn and company, and he could only assume those in the hold below were up to something.

"No cleaning. Could you come up with a better way to destroy the historical integrity of the place then by taking a ruddy mop to it?" And yes, we're looking at YOU, Head Boy.

"Do you know how to swim?" Kurumi asked rather point blank. It was the only option if the boat suddenly began sailing away. She was sure the giant squid wouldn't mind if a few kids jumped in the water. She was actually surprised that the poor squid hadn't gone all kraken mode on the boat and destroyed it, UNLEASH THE KRAKEN style.

"I...I don't actually know his first name," she frowned. Lord wasn't? "He certainly was that. Made us all sing in front of everyone in attendance and cancelled all OWLs and NEWTs. I think they are still cancelled actually..." Which was an absolutely terrible thing! "I am sure someone told him why you were not there. Although, I am not sure he entirely noticed. He was rather loud and kind of reminded me of a frightening Santa Clause. He liked my cookies though." Which had earned her another somewhat useless goodie bag and T-shirt. Walnut used it to sleep on and for the occasional scratching post.

Kurumi was a bit taken aback by Eino's somewhat dreamy state when she mentioned Shaw and his chainsaw. Destiny with one was a scary enough image, but having Eino with one wasn't much better. "He used it to carve his name into the board...and then asked us what uses a chainsaw had...he transfigured his desk into it. Rather brilliant magic, but still frightening. We got to come up with our own spells afterwards using Latin." And her and her Gryffindor team had relied heavily on Selina for help since she was the Latin expert.

Sierra actually playfully rolled her eyes at that point. "I'm only kidding, Lockhart. If I didn't mind researching, I'd never have gotten involved in the whole Alzheimer's Potions last school year." Speaking of which, they needed to look into finishing that, or at least figuring out the next step or two. She very lightly laughed, for reasons even she didn't know, and then absentmindedly kicked at a loose rope near her feet.

He winked at her then, and she was almost sure she blushed, even though she knew he meant nothing by winking. She absolutely hated the fact that Treyen was doing this to her (He was responsible! It was all his fault...somehow!), but maybe if she exercised a little self-control and looked away more, the laughing and blushing would stop. She looked up quickly and glared at him, following that look by an eye roll. It was the only thing she could think to do at that moment.

With a smirk, she finally said, "Of course I want you to lead the way. If you fall, call up to me and let me know where all the bad spots are." Yes, she was only joking, but if Treyen really did want to let her know where all the bad spots were, she wouldn't mind that either.

Wait just a minute. Vindictus was leaving them?! Well wasn't that just so typical of him?! He was the one last term who made them clean the school brooms and the Herbology greenhouses. The man did nothing on his own, she'd gathered. Well, maybe officiate Quidditch matches, which he was very, very good at, but she wasn't the least bit surprised when he decided to lead them through this journey only to jump ship when the going got tough.

Sierra glanced over her shoulder and saw that her Slytherin friend, whatever his name was, had found someone else to talk to. She rolled her eyes as she turned back around. Boys. Well, at least she still had Treyen to take the journey with, even if he was currently calling over some red-headed Ravenclaw to join them. She sighed to herself, realizing that boys were creatures who just couldn't make up their minds.

A nod? That's all she got--a nod!? Well, at least it was better than the other boy's (Sally's) friend. She'd ignored Sierra altogether. Sierra returned the greeting in the same exact way--a nod. Well, she and this girl would just make the greatest of friends, now wouldn't they? ...hmph.

Christopher couldn't help but laugh at Elektra's response to his question. "The very same. I didn't know how famous I was!" He grinned to himself, secretly really happy that she talked about him. "I recognized your name, she's mentioned you before. And Elektra is not an easy name to forget."

His bright blue eyes shined down at the Snake, still smiling. "So what has Little Miss Violet been saying about me?" What? He was curious. And he certainly hoped it was good and that he didn't compare to Nathan in her eyes at all. Because the Gryffindor was still really worried that his friend's older cousin would steal Vi from him.

Simon shrugged at Salander's comment about rum and he supposed the aging qualities of the liquor, not really interested in it anyway. His own reference was probably more towards wine anyway. He glanced briefly to his side as he surveyed the still half-dark down below deck, catching the knock on the barrel just in passing. At the mention of smell, the captain paused in his movement and made special effort to sniff the air, wrinkling his nose slightly as he did in fact pick it.

"Yeah...theres certainly something," he mused in agreement, trying to tell if there was a source of said smell.

"I'm not sure." Eino had never lived in a sunny or hot place, so he had never really been to the beach of a pool. He had gone in a lake but not deep enough that required him to swim, so he really didn't know whether he could or not. Of course, it would be best to assume he couldn't, but how hard would it be to float, at least. Maybe the ship had those small lifeboats just in case, and they could use those.

No exams? That didn't sound very bad. Eino really wasn't in the mood to study lately, but then again he had to do a lot of it. On the good side, he didn't have to take any of the exams, so it really didn't affect him directly. "Oh well, he sounds very nice." He did appreciate music after all. Eino was a little sad he had missed the musical introductions, that would have been very fun. And who didn't like Santa Clause? This man sounded like an angel. A fat angel. Transfiguration class sounded fun, too, and Eino was now even sadder he had missed that. So far, all of these ministry officers sounded like a great addition to the Hogwarts faculty. "Is there a reason why they are here?" Were there no candidates for the jobs? Why would the ministry want to teach classes anyway? And why would exams be cancelled?

" I am already here" Willaim told Hannah. " I helped Heather aboard the ship" Willam said to Hannah." Thanks, my second picture" William smiled." What I meant by walking the plank was like I was a pirste like the muggle Bluebllod or Jack Sparrow and you must walk the plank into the water" William explained to Heather and laughed really hard.

Turning to the outher girl.Holding out the lil jar " Shure just a little bit will do ya." pulling out his camera again " Yall mind if I get a shot " motioning for them to step near the rail so the School was behind them

Reaching in to his back pack and pulling out a clean bandanna he offers it to her " You also know if yall start to feel a bit seasick ginger will help" handing the girls a ginger biscut and taking one for himself." Have Yall been below decks yet" taking a small bite out of the biscut,and hopeing he was not looking a bit green to the girls.He was not a sailor by anyones definition

Caroline looked up and seen Kyle making her way up to the boat slipping and nearly tripping a few times. She couldn't help but laugh and bit as she walked up the plank. She hoped that she wouldn't fall in, because she had no idea how to swim if she needed to save her. She waved back and giggled "Hello, first mate Manning." She smiled thankful that she didn't have to start screaming for help. "Heck yeah." Did she really just say heck yeah

"This ship is amazing, it's old but it looks to be it fair shape." SHe said taking another look at it with Kyle. This was going to be so much fun. "How are you?" She asked with a grin. They a lovely chat earlier. Hehehe. She scaned around at the ground from the deck looking for a certain someone to get onboard.

She tried to push out what Marie had said to her as she seen Carter making his way up the plank to the deck. "Ahoy there!" She waved and smiled as she seen Carter walking around the deck. She was very excited about her boyfriend and her friend meeting each other. She smiled rather shyly. She gave him a small kiss. Marie had to be wrong. Right? Yeah, she was wrong. She thought to herself pushing the throughts out of her mind.

"Hey Carter! This is my very good friend, Kyle." She looked from Carter to Kyle and smiled to both of them. "Kyle this is my boyfriend Carter." She let them meet each other a hand shake or whatever. ''Huh? Clean?" Caroline asked rather confused as to what the Ravenc;aw was talking about cleaning. She must have been losted in her throughts while that was going on.

As they walked around the deck more and noticed Kyles close call. She tried to hold a laugh when she said "Don't fall off the boat, not infront of Simon" well she whisped it. Caroline laughed and covered her mouth quickly as if she had just said a dirty word.

Oakey ignored Mordreds harsh way of saying to go first and went ahead. he pulled out his wand and spoke Lumos. He was able to get down without falling and noticed that the group ahead of them was inspecting the barrels. He looked back to Mordred What do you suppose we find down hear Mordy? looks like the others found barrels of some liquid.

Oh joy oh rapture "Just my bloody luck I said that out loud didn't I" Kyle stated her cheeks suddenly pink. Had she really whispered about him near - near her boyfriend who was a gryffindor and - and new him?

She glanced over to Caroline as she introduced her to Carter, she smiled as she was introduced as a good friend yeah they were great friends. "Yeah, it's nice to meet you Carter!" Kyle smiled happily over to Carter, hoping feutiley that he hadn't heard what she had said...or at least the name.

However when Caroline asked about the cleaning she couldn't help but laugh. "Finnlay Charmichael asked me to" she explained with a laugh pointing over to where the head boy was standing. Boy did she sound crazy right now.

Then turning to Carter again she smiled. "I'm going to assume you heard what I whispered, as Caroline did, and well...yeah, just don't tell him please?" She asked still blushing. It was obvious the girl had a crush. Obviously obvious.

Are you going to meet Nate she said with a smile.Oh okay you look really good in the photo said hannah.

Oh, man, she actually looked amazingly cute when she rolled her eyes this time. Because, yes, he noticed her doing so. Yet, he'd rather be called Treyen again, than Lockhart. The fifth year didn't call any of the Greingoths by their family name, of course.

"We should probably talk about that some time, you know?" he said, with one single nod. Just...not right now...right now they needed to defend Salamander, er, no, wait, Salander! from the darkness! At this point, the Slytherin boy and the Gryffindor Captain were probably two decks bellow them.

His eyes were on Sierra, but with a curious look. Why was she blushing? He'd said nothing to embarrass her or anything, right?

Ah! There was the girl he was more familiar with. The smirking Slytherin. Well, Hufflepuff had great smirking people too, you know? "I don't mind leading, but DO call for help if something happens, Sierra." He shook his head. Changes were that he'll be stuck in that ship if he ever fell unless he was found by someone else...that's why bringing Ellie too was a great idea.

WAIT.

Ellie. Was Ellie afraid of climbing down the hatch? Because...it had a stair to head down...and it was only dangerous if you were like Salander and missed a couple steps. "Yes, down there," he said, suppressing a laugh, "Please don't tell me you're afraid of going in there," she played QUIDDITCH, and has dealt with Bludgers before. This couldn't be scary at all. Unless there was a whale around.

But spiders? "I think Acromantulas would be the ones you need to be wary of, but not the little spiders," which were probably going to run away if they saw light.

Oh. He forgot one important thing.

The boy placed one arm around Sierra's shoulders, "Ellie, this is Sierra," he said, and then dropped it before placing the other one around Ellie's shoulders...or...something like that, since he was shorter than her, "Sierra, this is Ellie," and he dropped it just as quickly before taking one step towards the hatch and taking out his wand, "Now you know which names to yell for if you're in trouble," yes, please don't call for him.

And after gesturing for both of them to follow him, the boy's wand lighted up the darkness as he climbed down there...in search of Salamander, right, sorry, Salander.

"Salander? You down there?" Right. So much for courage.
