She quickly turned away from the prefect in an effort to get her mind away from certain type thoughts. Thoughts she was still sort of angry at herself for having. Thoughts she knew her father would literally seethe in anger over. Looking toward the hatch Salamander and Simon had gone down, she nodded her head. "Yeah, ...some time," she remarked. Obviously not now. "Just owl me when you're ready."

UGH!!!

That had so made her sound like she'd be sitting around just waiting to hear from him. She had to get a hold of herself! "Or better yet, just be ready. I'll owl you," she said.

Again, she nodded when he told her to call for help if she got into trouble down that hatch. Come to think of it, though, she might just call for help even if she didn't... "UGH!" she said aloud this time. She hadn't meant to, though. She blushed and turned away, distracting herself by looking out at Kurumi Hollingberry on the banks of the water. Then she felt his arm around her. Her eyes sort of widened a little as she turned back around--to see his arms around another girl as well...

OOC: Continued under Nina's quote and again under Dot's quote.



She eyed this other girl, wanting to glare at her but holding back for now. Good to meet you?! Sierra should probably return the line, but she just wasn't in the mood to attempt friendliness. She eyed Treyen again, noticing how friendly he seemed to be toward this other girl. With an inward sigh, she looked at Ellie and said, "It's...good to...meet you..., too." There. That hadn't been too hard. She would not be calling the girl's name if she got into trouble, though...



Sierra jerked her head toward Lola. Why in the name of all things good and magical was this loud, obnoxious, annoying excuse for a person clapping?! ...oh. Right. Sierra had willingly been nice to her in an attempt to gain a loyal dog. Seemed like it had worked, only, Sierra would now have to deal with all the ridiculousness that came along with being anywhere in the vicinity of Lola Jones.

Then suddenly, Lola's hand was clasped around hers, causing Sierra to sort of stiffen in horror. Where were they going?! Sierra was going to lead--she had to! Otherwise, she'd have to suffer through the humiliation of being lead around the ship by Loooooola Jones. She wouldn't have it! None of it! "Down there!" she suddenly said, the hatch seeming to be the closest place to her. She had just enough time to turn and look toward Treyen, hoping he was coming along, before she disappeared into the depths.

The last thing see saw was the blinding flash of Michael White's blasted camera as she went down the hatch.

Seriously, what was it with the negativity? Both Ellie and Sierra should stay off the ship if they had such strong feelings about not being on it.

The Headmaster was inviting students in, it couldn't be so bad. Except...he hasn't managed to hear any single word from Salander, though, maybe they've gone into another dimension or parallel universe or something. He smirked at the thought, and was NOT going to share it with the people around him. "Do you know how to swim, Ellie?" he asked, slowly climbing down through those little steps Salander never saw.

He was already half-way down, and he shrugged at the Acromantulas topic, "It's not like it'll be the first time we get to see them," they'd ran away from them before.

Why was Ellie letting Sierra come first? No, he didn't agree with that decision, the Ravenclaw should be next to him, no? Besides, Sierra seemed to have another friend with her, that's why Treyen pulled Ellie closer to him. Plus, the look Sierra had given Ellie was not to be trusted, even if he knew perfectly well that his favorite Ravenclaw didn't need any help whatsoever when it came to defense, right?



Yeah, Treyen had no idea what was happening to Sierra, the girl seemed to lose focus quite easily, and to change moods really quickly. Though, weren't all Slytherins alike? He's never been around one for so long, not outside of a classroom or, in this case, Potions laboratory.

Still, he smiled, "You owl me, sounds good." At least she was regaining some focus, even if it was to see how the people around her were fairing.

In all fairness, Sierra looked rather cute whenever she was annoyed, that's what it appeared she was at the moment. Annoyed. Probably because her other companion was clapping and being loud. He understood, Kaia was loud, or used to be, and he was always annoyed when she was loud, or used to be annoyed. Anyway...

...he was already down...here. No sign of Salander, though, but his wand was giving out more light than necessary, so he tapped his wand with his index finger once and the light was dimmed a little. Better. All he could see were barrels...and a two shadows deep down...whatever place it was. Those must be Simon and Salander.

He looked back to Sierra, and, of course, Ellie, "I just don't get it, you know? Why the ship is here...do you reckon that maybe Mr. Stryker wanted to add some mystery to the grounds?" he was French, after all.

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.

He pulled his scarf up over his nose, as it drifted down. Oh no, the frostbite! Those few seconds may have started off the frostbite procedure.

He shuffled onto the ship, his arms folded to his chest. He peered over his scarf to see if he knew anyone. He spotted Treyen and Ellie. And....Sierra. He shuffled up to them. "Um hi guys," he called, muffled by his scarf.

It was old and disgusting, and if it hadn't been for the fact that she, just like all the others, was curious about its presence here, she'd be back in the comfort of the dungeons.



"Of course I'm okay," ...you idiotic Hufflepuff. "...but I won't be if you don't stop blinding me with that stupid camera of yours." With her wand held out in front of her, she cast lumos. Ahh, she was on the very last step--excellent. She stepped to the floor below and started looking around for the others.



Oh, and Treyen was down here, too! At least that made one person she could see. Now why hadn't the headmaster or at least the flying instructor stepped down here with them, hmm?! "Mr. Stryker, ...hmm," she said, shrugging. "I don't really know him that well, but it didn't seem like Vinny or the headmaster knew much about it. You'd think if Stryker put it here, he'd at least okay it with the big man at the top."

She paused when a board creaked underneath her feet. Great. Just great. "So, ...what exactly are we looking for down here?" she wondered aloud. Or where they just looking to be looking?



Was that Conan? She thought that was the sound of the Hufflepuff boy's voice. "Down here!" she called from the hatch.

Still, it was logical that he wouldn't be bothered, after all, it's not like they were at the middle of the lake. Swimming to shore won't take as long, nor make them too tired.

But, yeah, that wasn't happening, anyway.

What? "You know, with Saylen...," that was during his third year, "...wait, you didn't attend that lesson?" he remembered Salander, Kurumi, Legend, Diggy and Emmy in there, because they were kind of next to him, but he was having issues placing Ellie in the lesson. No arachnids were harmed, though, just stunned. And no humans were harmed either, not physically, at least.

Actually, being closer to Ellie proved to be rather uncomfortable for him right now, maybe the fact that it was still darker than usual made it all awkward in his head. That's why he took a couple steps away and pretended to wander into the ship, or towards the two figures up there, even more. The boy froze in place when the Ravenclaw spoke again, "That...makes sense," he said, smiling towards her. See? She was clever, he didn't consider the article into any of this.

He noticed something as he saw her, "You have something in mind, though," he accused, nicely of course. It seemed Ellie had her own ideas about the ship, she could share them too. If she felt like doing so.



Granted. The girls were always right. Both Ellie and Sierra had managed to follow the same train of thought.

"Maybe it was Masterson," he said, mostly to himself. As a matter of fact, he didn't even intend to say it out loud. But, Hogwarts was still a strange place, anything could happen. At least, Mr. Stryker was free of charge. "You're right," the boy finally said, with one nod. Vindictus, in particular, had been rather interested in the ship.

And he kept on walking a bit farther into the ship, lighting up some unidentified barrels, and then realized that the figures he thought were Salander and Simon...actually weren't.

Then the pretty Slytherin asked a question, "I don't even know what the others are looking for," he'd heard Salander speak of something to drink, but paid little attention to that, "Unless you want to open up some barrels...our only choices are...going left, or right, or up." His wand lighted up the choices, except the last one, because going up meant going back.

"You decide," he winked, it was clear he had no preference as to which way they took. But maybe Ellie wouldn't want to take more stairs down...unless they got to see Barty down there. Now, that would be awesome.



Until he heard some voice far away, he knew the voice, it was his favorite Hufflepuff.

Conan!

Sierra's boyfriend, no? The second year Huffie was cold, wasn't he? They weren't in December yet. Poor kid. "Conan!" he exclaimed, widening his own smile, "Where's your wand?" CONSTANT VIGILANCE, CONAN! Especially since they were in a mystery ship.

Emphasis on 'mystery'.

And pull us down with it." So that'd be a prolonged amount of swimming, and Ellie didn't know how to do a Bubble-head Charm.

No, she was NOT there. Luckily, too, apparently. "I suppose not," she shrugged. But REALLY it was a good thing. She could barely handle Matilda, let alone an Acromantula.

So Sierra didn't think it was Stryker either? Hah. Outnumbered there, Treyen. About her theories, Ellie nodded, "Yeah, but, I doubt anything's true."

And this was where Ellie wanted to say 'up'. As in back. As in on shore, in the castle, and maybe eating chocolate or something. But part of her wanted to stay on, and keep going while she was already there. So, she stayed silent leaving Sierra to choose, really.

Hearing a kid ahead of them telling them to light their wands, Ellie did so. Just as Conan arrived. ...Was that a good idea? And, yeah, where was his wand? She could care less if he didn't believe in magic, he should still have it with him, out and ready.

Was he cold? Mann. Why was he out if he was cold? ODD child, that one. Sigh. "Hi, Conan..." Take out your wand. Do it.

Either way, Treyen increased the amount of light that was coming out of his wand, happy now, Simon?

Fine, Ellie, FINE. The boy didn't even say that she'd been right about one specific part in case the ship started to sink or whatever, because that wasn't happening anyway. "It doesn't matter," that was his reply. But he wasn't replying to anything the girl just said, it was more as to let the subject drop.

Luck was NOT going to be on their side if the 'sinking' thought was still around.

How come it appeared that Ellie was glad she never took part in that lesson? "You...," he started to say, tilting his head to one side, "...you aren't afraid of spiders, are you?" there was always the chance that she just didn't like the eight-legged creatures, and he was hoping that was the case.

Ha. At her comment on the ship, he had to chuckle and shook his head. There was no way to know if her theories could be right or wrong, or some place in between if she didn't share them, no? He didn't push it, though.

And she knew Conan?! How did she know his favorite Hufflepuff, eh?

Haha. Yes, they'll watch their steps. No problem. Treyen walked closer to the Slytherin boy, "Salander...," he started to say, and frowned upon hearing him say 'torch', "...what do you need a torch for? We have wands, and...I don't think it would be wise to light a fire, after all, some ships used to carry gunpowder back when...ships carried it." Yeah, way to appear smart, Lockhart. He didn't even give any time period or anything.

What?! Why was Sierra bringing up that subject? Treyen HAD to intervene, "It's not, the ship won't sink, Sierra, don't worry about it," like, really, don't worry about it, Treyen will save his Slytherin, no?

As Sierra considered her options, his eyes managed to focus on the floor, and how amazingly loose the pieces of wood seemed to be, maybe there was something hiding underneath, like a monster that was waiting for more Slytherins to feed on.

Er, yeah, that wasn't going to happen either.

As soon as the girl replied, he looked up, just in time to see her wink at him. Funny. He smirked. "Actually, I think right is the opposite direction from Salander and Simon," but they could head right, he had no problem, at all.

They could divide and conquer different parts of the ship.

A few paces in the Slytherin lad turned back to hear voices descending from the hatch. He squinted and turned his wand slightly, hearing Simon advice them to cast the lumos spell. "Treyen?..." he was pretty sure he recognized the young Puff's voice and a few more whispering and chatting from the group confirmed Sierra, Ellie, Conan and the bubbly Slytherin girl whose name escapes him. "And yeah watch your step." He added, trying to pretend that it was someone else who made the ruckus at the ladder earlier.

He turned back to Simon and ventured forward a few more paces until he stopped suddenly. "Pheeew!" he huffed, waving his free hand trying to clear off the odor "Its getting stronger whatever it is... just couldnt put my finger on it." he whispered audibly. He raised his wand higher and tried to look around claustrophobic area, looking for something "Doesnt this place have some sort of torch or something?"

Oi! May not be the best suggestion if he could only recognize what was causing that stench....

OOC: Sierra went through an open hatch and down stairs to the bottom level. I don't think she can still hear William from way down there.





Hearing Treyen talk to someone who was definitely not her, Sierra turned around, her wand facing outward and in the direction of their company. Ohh, Ellie was down here, too? Sierra hadn't realized the older girl had come with them, but that could have something to do with the fact that they'd all climbed down a really dark flight of stairs to get here.

"You don't...think that's going to happen, do you?" she asked Ellie. You know, the ship sinking. Tough she could sometimes be, but she was no Gryffindor. She'd leave the daring nerve and bravery to the guy up ahead--Simon, she thought his name was. She briefly eyed the stairs but then decided it wasn't worth it to turn around and go back. She'd already gone this far.

Her eyes followed the light of Treyen's wand as he suggested the different directions to go in. She noticed he didn't suggest up, meaning he didn't want to turn around and go back either. She didn't want to open up any barrels. They might explode, and well...yeah, dying just wasn't one of the options she wanted to consider at the moment. What was that Headmaster Tate always told them? Don't die. Yeah, that was it.

With a shrug, she answered, "Right." It seemed like the right way to go. Or, it sounded right, at least. Had he winked at her? Yes, yes he had. Treyen Lockhart was going to drive her insane this school year! Then, just because two could play at that game, she winked at him and said, "Well, ...go on." With her wand, she gestured in the right direction.

Was Conan down here, too? It was hard to tell from just the light of her wand. ...and where was Salamander and the Gryffindor captain?! Hearing voices was easy. Seeing faces was not.

And she blew kisses towards the camera, but then focused her attention back on Sierra.



"Oh don't pretend you don't like my clapping, dahhhling," she sang as she went down the hatch with Sierra. They were obviously best friends, because well, it was just so obvious by now. So she followed her BFF! down below, holding on to her (for what if she was suddenly attacked by a zombie pirate?) and making heavy, HEAVY breaths. Her breathing was short and quiet at first but the small space was making it all panicky and AND AND WHERE WAS AIR TEMPERATURE AND MERLIN THERE WAS A HORRIBLE STENCH.

"Sierraaaaaaaaaa," she whispered to herself in a sing-song voice, "Sieeeeeerrraaaaa. Mind me, I'm just trying to be comfortable here." And so apparently softly singing her best friend's name made her feel so much better--if that wasn't so creepy.

There were other people here too, right?

"Guys, it smells really really REAAAAALLY bad." It's not like they hadn't known that, but she tightened her grip on Greingoth and tried to wave her wand around her head, all in failure.

"Anyone know the Bubble-Head Charm?" So they could save her from all the stinkiness.

...and here Treyen was concerned that they were heading in the opposite direction than Salamander and Simon? Hmm...no thanks. She'd take the non-torch lit direction, thank you very much. At least if Salamander blew up the ship, she'd be on the opposite side of the explosion anyway.

She nodded at Treyen, agreeing with him that the ship probably wouldn't sink on them. "Hmm. Besides, it probably would have already done so by now," she remarked. Just as she said that, she stepped forward, causing a few pieces of the wood at her feet to creeeeeeeeeeeeeak extra loudly. Right. That didn't freak her out. Right. Not at all.

"Are you scared to go in the opposite direction, Treyen?" she playfully asked, a smirk on her face as she talked. She didn't know if he could see the smirk, but it was there anyway. "Need us girls to take care of you, hmm?" She was all talk, though. Notice she hadn't moved an inch either.


OOC: Editing you in now, Dotterkins.
