Default What in Merlin's Beard? Term 31, 2077-2078



A bit confused about the plot? Housemates talking about a mysterious something going bump in the night? Here's where you can catch up on happenings around the Castle, Diagon Alley, and Hogsmeade -- out of character, of course.

This means that unless your student character heard this stuff from other students or witnessed the actual event, your student character doesn't know about it.

Also, this is a reminder to everyone to only post updates on the school plot here. Please do not post the happenings of your student character in here - that kind of chat goes in the school chat thread.

Have fun!

Never a dull moment at an opening feast now, is it? Looks like our baby house elf is back and with a name!

First made their appearance at the Slytherin table

Now that he had the shiney again, Toddles was ready to play catch or that bowlingsy game that he had heard the boys and girls talk about. He had lost the shiney last time the studensies were back at the Castle and he had missed it so much. It was his friend, yes it was. The shiney.

But now that he found it on a desk behind the scary gargoyles, he was ready to play with the other kids. Sneaking into the big room where the food went, Toddles jumped on the far table and ran to its center, dodging the cups and pitchers.

"You, Studensies! Play catch with Toddles!" the baby elf tossed the shiney at the ones dressed in green and giggled with his high pictched voice as it flew through the air.

SO MUCH FUN!
But has since decided that "Green studensies are no fun, Toddles play with red studensies"

So off to the RYFFINBLORR! Gryffindor table he went!

Quote:

"RYFFINBLORR!!!" Toddles shouted what he thought the old, yucky hat had said when he sent the baby red kids to that table. Such an awesome name, not better than Toddles though. Nope.

Hoisting the Shiney over his head, he bumped into a water glass, spilling it all over the table before shouting again. They needed to look at Toddles.

"Hey studentsies, Toddles wants to play catch NOW." He jumped where he was and threw the orb right at where a human kiddy's head would be. Toddles wanted to play he hadn't waited all summer to be ignored!
But that's not all...looks like the orb is still around!

The baby House Elf Toddles continues to create havic at each of the house tables playing catch with a shiney orb, many students have joined in.

After a stint at the Gryffindor Table a student alerted the Headmaster:

"Headmaster. I hate to interrupt your conversation but I think there is something you should know." She felt like a snitch, a really bad one at that. However, if the orb broke or if anything happened to someone because the elf threw it too hard. "Toddles has a glass orb like object he said that he found in your office, well he said he found it in the room with the spinning gargoyle." Goodness she was rambling. "It's small and pretty light. He swear he just found it and I tried to bring it up here but he snatched it out of my hand and ran off before I could catch him." She hoped she was doing the right thing by coming here and not chasing after the elf in question.

"I appreciate your telling me. You may return to your table." He rose from his seat and gave Max a rap up side the head. This was his fault. Somehow.

"Excuse me, please. I have to go retrieve Max's trophy." And then it was going BACK to his office.
He then found the little guy at the Lion table again and is trying to get the orb from him with the help of Prefect Hollingberry:
SPOILER!!: The Elf, Prefect and Headmaster

Getting ready to jump on top of the table again, and maybe get a drink of water since Toddles was very thirsty, when he heard the big man.



O___O

"Whoopsies! Toddles needs to hide!" The house elf scurried further into the middle of the darkness under the table and wrapped his arms over the concealed orb. His toy that was going to be stolen.

Despite his slight fear, Toddles couldn't help but giggle...he liked hiding games almost as much as catching ones.

"TODDLES!!" Kurumi chirped, deciding to charm a cookie in his direction. House elves liked cookies, right?! Besides, maybe the cookie would earn her a hug!

Oh? What was this? He had a pillowcase with him now? Wasn't that just the CUTEST thing ever? "Toddles, what all do you have in there?" Or was he going to take a nap on the Gryffindor table?



Oh! The Headmaster was here too! Did he want another cookie?

Nope. At least not judging from his question. Looking around, Kurumi tried to find Toddles again so she could hug him but soon brought her attention back to the Headmaster. "Toddles," Kurumi said, placing a little emphasis on the elf's name. Honestly, Tables? Baby thing? Shouldn't the Headmaster, as a father, be a little more caring when it came to names? Toddles might start to cry! "Was here earlier, Headmaster, throwing something around. And...I swear I just saw him again now... with a pillowcase..."

Where did the little guy go?


Oh wait! "There he is!" Kurumi chirped, pointing her finger at the something that had moved under the table. Honestly, if the elf hadn't said anything she probably wouldn't have noticed.

Ducking down a bit, Kurumi peered into the darkness that was under the table and wished that the candlelight in the Great Hall were a little brighter. Where was the cutie?!

Him. Toddles was a him.

Hmph.

Tate crouched beside Hollingberry. "Come out and play, Toddles. Will you show me your new toy?"
Quote:

Did Toddles go out and talk to the Head man or not? He was afraid that he would yell at him for going in his office. That would make him sad. The studensies may save him though if things got bad.

Sticking his head ever so slightly out from underneath the table, just so his eyes and ears were visible he squeaked. "Mister won't hurt Toddles or the Shiney?" The baby elf came all the way out and sat on the table close to the red "P' girl who liked him. She might save Toddles if the man tried to hurt him.

The whole time the orb created a huge lump on the front chest part of Toddles' pillowcase-like tunic.

The sixth year cocked her head to the side for a moment as she pondered the potential evolutionary theory behind house elves when the Headmaster was back to speaking to Toddles.

"I am sure the Headmaster is brilliant at playing catch, Toddles," Kurumi nodded encouragingly. He was the Headmaster after all.

Kurumi giggled and resisted the urge to just scoop Toddles up in her arms and give him another hug when he inched closer to her and... EEK! SAT DOWN NEAR HER!

Again, she resisted the urge to just hug the creature because he was just so adorable with his stuffed pillowcase.

"You have nothing to be afraid of," Kurumi smiled, still very much wanting to hug the creature. Tehe.

"Ask him to throw it to you," Tate suggested to Hollingberry. "And I am brilliant at playing catch. Good guess."
Quote:

Nodding a bit more as the Headmaster confirmed that he was not going to get hurt, Kurumi turned her gaze to the man. "Play a bit of baseball in your day, sir?" she asked, momentarily forgetting that he had just asked her to do something.

Ahem. Right.

"Toddles, you hear that? The Headmaster is good at playing catch too! How about...you throw it to me first and then all three of us can play together?" That sounded like fun, right? Even if Kurumi suspected that the Headmaster had no intention of playing catch.
Quote:

"If Mister is so good at catch, doesn't he want Toddles to throw it to him?" The Elf's big doe 'I've been caught for doing something bad' eyes turned to the Head man and he really wanted to pass it to him now since he was probably mad at Toddles for taking the toy back.

He uncrossed his legs and stood up slowly, removing the Shiney from his tunic hiding place. It was a good one, too bad he had to reveal to everyone his good hiding place for snacks and bugs. "Toddles will play catch with you two, was you a Ryffinblorr Mister, they are the best catchers." He tossed the orb at Kurumi eagerly, excited for this new round of catch!

Her eyes widened as a feeling of deja vu swept over her when she saw the orb-thing again. Hmmm....odd. She was still pretty sure she had never seen it before. Well, besides earlier in the evening when Toddles had thrown it at Anya's face. "Good one, Toddles," Kurumi chirped as she easily caught the object in her hands. "Your turn now, Headmaster," she beamed, lobbing it in his direction.
Quote:

He was being silly and trying to catch it with...a stirry thing? A spoon is what the older house elves called it but he liked stirry thing--OH it was like a House-Elf's magic sticky thing!

When the Mister caught it, Toddles hoped he passed it far. Hard catches were the best.

In almost the same movement, Tate brought his wand back around to touch the spoon held in his other hand, changing it into a bubble wand, which he offered to Toddles.

"Do you like bubbles? Much more fun." See? He blew a stream of bubbles from the wand, a cloud of many sizes and colors surrounding the little elf.


Let's all check it out since the madness seems to be continuing for this Start-of-Term Feast! And it seems that Tate is back in possession of this strange Orb.

Headmaster Tate has given his speech!

On the dais, Tate remained standing, waiting until the students quieted a bit before he began his long-overdue speech. "Welcome back to Hogwarts for another term. I apologize for the delay in getting things started, but for those who are returning students, you know that nothing ever goes exactly as planned."

"We have several new professors and staff members joining us this term, and I hope you'll make them feel welcome. Remember that every staff member deserves your respect and courtesy, whether in class or in the corridors."

"I know there was some curiosity about the happenings last term. We have yet to discover why exactly the creatures were coming out of the Forbidden Forest, although we suspect it has to do with the orb some of you spotted around the school. As the creatures seem to have settled back in without issue, I don't see any reason to continue to dwell on it. We have a Ministry specialist coming to examine the orb, and if there is anything to share, you will be informed shortly. Other than that... enjoy the feast and we'll see you in class."
Short and to the point. Thanks Headmaster! But...what happened to constant vigilance and not dying?!

Now time to dig in, Hogwartians! Cheers!

Meet the newest member of the Menagerie... Hogwarts' own baby hybrid dragon!

Had the baby dragon come into existence before the egg, or was the egg there all along and he/she had just magically grown from it? Which came first: the dragon or the egg?

Rocking around the eggshell, the baby dragon did its best to crack the tough case that was enclosing it. It eventually succeeded in making a little fissure, through which it felt fresh(er) air, but it was still not enough.

The dragon continued to flail inside its egg, wanting oh so badly to be free. Its tiny mind was simply too large to expand inside this confining egg.

Must. Escape. Egg.

The shell started trembling and cracking with renewed ferocity. There might have even been a few angry squawking sounds coming from this dragon child.

The dragon squawked again, and another piece of eggshell went flying. Another tremor ran through the egg and then it seemed to be melting off the dragon, disintegrating into little pieces as the dragon finally escaped its home.

The little, scaly green thing with sharp, beady black eyes might have seemed ugly to some but to the man it was staring at, it was the most beautiful sight in the world. Letting out a tiny baby cry of confusion, the dragon flapped its fragile wings and shook off any remaining bits of slime and eggshell.

Finally, the dragon could stretch its wings at last, after that long, long nap!

What do we have here?! Looks like the Headmaster has a special guest visitor from the Department of Mysteries in his office....

Not to mention his staff heh.

He glanced behind him quickly and, spotting the seat, eased into it. "You sent a message mentioning that you need to have something examined?" he asked, taking the rolled parchment out of his coat-- the letter Tate owled him earlier that week.

"We found this... item on the grounds last year, and several people foolishly handled it. I have a concern that it might be one of the receptacles used to store memories, like you keep at the Ministry."
What sort of mysteries shall Corin Vanderbilt, Head of the Department of Mysteries, be able to reveal?! The above is just a small sample of what is happening in the Headmaster's office, so be sure to put your stalking hats on Hogwartians! Something is afoot!

And so the scene in the Headmaster's Office continues to develop...

He was about to ask how it had come to their possession when Tate started to explain....

...Which had Corin taken aback the second time "Other people have held this? With their bare hands?" he repeated, couldnt quite believing what he was hearing. He paused for a moment as the sounds of students going about their classes wafted through the open window, his eyes going back to the orb held safely in the box. He stood up and drew near it. Orbs are orbs and for the most part they all look pretty similar, but Prophecy orbs have something about them thats very specific. "How.... How many people have held this? And have you had any incidents of individuals acting...." Insane? Batty? Bag full of cats crazy? Wait this is Hogwarts, crazy is somewhat the norm ".... unusual-- you know from how they usually behave?"
Touched it? Crazy? Batty? ... is it time to say "whoops" yet?

And so it seems the Orb is more mysterious than we first thought... What's next? Will it reveal anything?

"But it was missing for a while, between when Vindictus found it and it showed up again, so any number of people could have handled it. And one of my house elves was chucking it around at the feast a few weeks ago... probably others touched it then too."

Sigh. It was just mortifying to explain to this Ministry man that he'd let something dangerous into the school and failed to lock it up safely... twice. TWICE. "But no. No unusual behavior. Or no more than is to be expected when hormones and ego compete in small teenaged packages. I haven't seen any symptoms of madness." Because he knew what sort of spells were put on prophecy orbs.
Quote:

BUT the Headmaster did say there were no incidents of madness, at least not the kind he was concerned about. He eyed the orb thoughtfully "Went missing for a while ..." he mumbled. That could be a variety of things-- people kept it locked up in the dorms or in their rooms like it belonged to them; or this was misplaced around the castle, for something this small that was easy. A small thought played at the back of his mind that the object could move around on its own, but at this point in time he paid little attention to that possibility.

Wait did the Headmaster say "Your house-elf was chucking this around?" What like a quaffle? "Would you have any idea if this orb might have been dropped? If it is a prophecy orb and it cracked its possible that the contents may have leaked out." And therefore that orb was nothing more than an empty shell.

His hand hovered over the orb then stopped short "Have you touched this yourself Headmaster, bare hands or not?" He knows Tate mentioned the Professors, but he couldnt help but ask the question directly to the man himself.
Quote:

Except when the blasted elf stole it.

"Look, I didn't touch it. I put it up once I found it. Can't you run some tests or whatnot and see if it's dangerous to my students or not?" And now he had run straight into impatient. He was a doer, and this was all talk and no action.

Or something else entirely.

He looked around the neat office for a moment "I cant quite run the battery of tests in your office Headmaster, not unless you want me to make a mess of things." Yeah damaging the Top Man's office wasnt really part of his agenda today. "But maybe I can run a few diagnostics..."

He drew his hand back from the orb and instead flicked his wrist to bring out his wand. Silently he levitated the orb out of its box and suspended it in mid-air, spinning it around slowly as he observed, taking its physical measurements-- height, weight, density. As he did so he realized that the orb didnt have a single scratch on it, nothing that would say it was damaged.

Good, because whatever this is it means its still working. Also not so good because it means it can still do whatever Tate was afraid it might do.

He paced around for a moment staring at the floating orb. He sooo wanted to bring this back to the Ministry and run as much tests at his disposal. "How about... stimuli..." he murmured as he held out his wand and cast a charm to heat up the orb, gradually building up until the orb was enveloped in flames. With a wave of his wand the flames died down.

No change on the orb thus far.

He then tried a charm to cool the orb all the way to the point where it just about froze. He peered into the orbsicle suspended in the air, then waved his wand to get rid of the frost.

Orb looked exactly the same as when he first saw it.

He crossed his arms before him and turned his head to Tate, both baffled and amazed at the mystery before them. Then he had a thought. He turn back to the orb and held his wand aloft, then with a wand stroke uttered a revealing spell.

Staaare. Anything?

Through the Headman's window.

Calming breaths. Yes. No one was going to die today.

"Anything?" PLEASE, DEAR MERLIN. PLEASE.
And the verdict?

So what does he know about this orb so far?

That many people have touched it.
That there were no report of madness that seemed associated with it.
It doesnt look damaged.
And that there is definitely some kind of spell cast on the orb, possibly on its surface or emanating from within.

Corin levitated the orb back into its box, then turned to towards Tate "Well... its not a prophecy orb, at least not the typical kind. I'd actually like to take a closer look at it back at the Ministry, although of course thats entirely up to you if you would turn it over to us." he wasnt going to seize it, but he will file a report with Alexander. If the Minister wasnts the orb taken into custody then he will cross that bridge with Tate at a later time.

Well, nothing seems at all out of the ordinary at Hogwarts. The orb will be taken back to the Ministry for closer inspection. Poor Toddles will miss his shiny. *sadface*

Looks like the Headmaster changed his mind and the orb will NOT be taken back to the Ministry!

He pressed his lips together as he shook his head, shrugging slightly “Its hard to tell, not without more information… more tests to figure out what it is and what it does. I would be submitting this to the Ministers office first… get the paperwork done on it. Given that its an orb of unknown origin and purpose, the Minister would likely want to take a closer look at it.”

It wouldn't work for him, not like that.

"I appreciate the offer, but I think I'd rather deal with this myself. I have other professionals I can consult for the spells on this orb, but at least I know it isn't a prophecy orb and is unlikely to make anyone go crazy."

Tate stood and offered his hand. "I do appreciate your coming in today."

He shook Tate's hand in turn and gave a small smile "Thank you for having me Headmaster. It was great to see the ol’ Alma Mater again.” And with that, Corin turned for the door and made his way out of the Headmaster’s office.
So...what do we know? The orb isn't a prophecy orb....and...erm....unlikely to make anyone go crazy...and....it is still in the Headmaster's office?

So...WHO is the Headmaster going to call upon next?

It seems as though Hogwarts isn't the only place where things seem... unusual.

"And," Saul leaned in for this part, "I been hearin' some whispers 'bout th' other shopkeeps in town." He gave her a serious look, waitin' to see if she'd take the bait on that bit 'o gossip.

When Saul leaned in closer to mention the whispers about the other shopkeepers in town Emerald's curiosity spiked. Nodding she said seriously. "I've heard the whispers too. Do you think there is any truth to them?" Seriously how could a teenage girl if the whispers were true be allowed to run a shop in Hogsmeade?
The shopkeepers in Hogsmeade seem to be a bit concerned about these rumors..

So it appears as though one of shop keepers has found the secret to... combating grey hair???

He nodded slowly as she seemed to agree. "I can definitely see th' truth in 'em," he murmured darkly. "She ain't got a gray hair on 'er head. And that shop--- Merlin, waddit it established in 1768? How's she even runnin' such a place!" Saul was just bewildered by the gossip he'd heard. Things weren't adding up... and he wasn't just talking about numbers.

Sliding down the counter a little as a girl stepped up to pay, Saul respectfully tipped his hat at the child and zipped his lips. Didn't want ter be overheard. Hogsmeaders supported Hogsmeaders, fer the most part.

Mad Max Professor Vindictus has collapsed on the quidditch pitch after the end of the game! Keep an eye out as the drama unfolds.

Meanwhile at Zonko's Joke Shop. Saul and Emerald (shop keepers) are still gossiping about one of the 'elder' shop keepers in town.

Immortality? Dark Arts? What's going on?!

Lowering her voice as more customers trickled into the store Emerald murmured to Saul "I know, no gray hair. It’s definitely peculiar, if she was the one who established the shop back in the day, she’d be over 300 years old. That can’t be possible can it, because she looks like she is 18?" Touching her own brown curls she didn’t look forward to getting grey hair. If she did she’d go to Monte and beg him to dye her hair black or something.

Getting a thought Emerald asked tentatively "She couldn’t be one of them cold ones, right Saul those who are blessed with immortality?" The thought in itself was scary. But the ones she spoke of weren’t uncommon back in the day. Shivering suddenly she hoped Saul had a more logical idea.

No, the ginger up the street was definitely a fully living, breathing, red-blooded human. But at the same time.... "She can't be 300 years old without doin' some Dark Magic, either."

This sure was a conundrum, and Saul Bunyons wanted ter git ter the bottom of it. He still hadn't forgiven himself for not getting involved sooner when that werewolf ring had come to Hogsmeade, after all...

"I'mma look inter it, Emerald, tell ya what." Saul straightened up and adjusted his hat. "I'll keep ya informed all right. You take care now." He nodded and gave her a gentle nudge, eying all the children in the shop before moving swiftly out the door. He had Stuff Ter Do now.

And back at school, Max has... stopped? happening. Headmaster Tate and Healer Tillstorm are moving him to the observation ward.

So what's wrong with Max? Or did he just not carbo-load before the game?

"I don't know what it is, actually. He's out. Seems fine other than that..." Not that he was a Healer or anything.

"We need to get him into the infirmary so he can be checked over properly." Once she had done a quick check she stood back up and turned to Tate. "Think you can help me get him to the observation ward?" That would be the best place for him. A private room where no students could get in and be all nosy.

So perhaps it was just a simple issue of Vindi not eating well, or maybe that he's getting too old to handle the stresses of teaching and refereeing?? Who knows. It seems as though Headmaster Tate has other ideas.

In fact, Tate would take him back out there and drop him for his trouble.

"What's the prognosis?"
Quote:

Or more like not headaches, but odd sensations. "He also said he tends to forget things." Like what a simple pair of tongs are used for.

Not seeing any response from Max as she waved the smelling salts under his nose, Cece put the stopper back in the vial. "It's not looking so good here Headmaster. He didn't even flinch at me waving this under his nose," she said as she pocketed the vial.
Quote:

"And did you have any diagnosis at the time? I don't mean to put you on the spot, Cece, but I'd like to know whether he's contagious."
Quote:

I told him he needed to stop teaching for a while but he just laughed at me. Said there would be no Quidditch without him." In fact, he laughed so hard she thought he was going to fall out of his seat. "I wouldn't say he was contagious. I'd say it was more of him not eating properly and being over worked. He's not a young man anymore. He needs to slow down a bit." Of course he would never listen to her about that.

The old fool. Look at him now. Can't get much slower than this now can he.

"So long as you think it's just age and diet, I'll leave him to your care. I can't help but remember he was first to pick up that blasted orb, you know? But if you say it isn't that, then I must bow to your expertise."
Quote:

"Well, if he ever comes to I'll gladly hand him a broom and let him try." Right after she poked him with it herself for not following her orders.

Headman say what?

"Are you suggesting the orb is the cause of his problems... not his age?" And why was it she didn't already know he had been the first one to handle that thing? "What ever happened to that thing?" Someone needed to be checking that thing out. Or more importantly, maybe they should be checking out all those that have touched the orb... especially if they were acting like old Max here.

I've heard tell that others handled it too, although I don't think I could tell you who or in what order. I've locked it up in my office, and we had the Department of Mysteries Head in to look at it, but the most we were able to determine was that it wasn't a prophecy orb and that, although there are charms on it, they won't make anyone go mad." Which... that was something, although it seemed sort of like an insignificant accomplishment now.

"I'll get someone else in to look at it again to see if we can determine the charm. Is it possible this is related to the orb?"

Although there was that Krummy kid Kurumi last term. It seems she hadn't been able to control the color of her hair. Maybe that had been a symptom of her touching the orb. Even though she had never said so, Cece was pretty sure she had handled it. That kid seemed to be everywhere and in everyone's business.

The orb was still in the school? "You mean to tell me an official came here and didn't bother taking the orb back to the ministry with them?" What kind of official was that? WHY would he leave that thing in a school... full of curious children? "I'm starting to think a lot of things around this place are happening because of that orb." Especially now that she knows it's still in the castle. "You sure that things still locked up? Some mischievous elf or even a sneaky student hasn't gotten their hands on it again... have they?"

It seems as if Professor Vindictus isn't the only one freezing up on us...and that Quidditch isn't the cause!!

Something interesting happened in today's Divination Lesson:

She didn't hear anything and if someone were to come up and poke or shake her she wouldn't feel that either. So, there the Gryffindor sat, her head hanging downwards slightly at the stones on the table, frozen in time.

Callie was happy that the Prefect had become so engrossed in Lithomancy after the girl's beliefs laid out in her previous homework. But--

.....

She wasn't moving.

Professor Elwood knew that look. Was it possible?!

"Kurumi dear? Miss Hollingberry?" The woman tried to get the Gryffindor's attention but she didn't look up.

IT WAS HAPPENING!!!

"Kurumi you've done it! You've accessed your Inner Eye and are IN THE BEYOND!!" Calista exclaimed excitedly and clapped her hands eagerly.

Oh she was so proud![/color]
Quote:

....huh?

Curiously Louisa left her desk and moved slowly toward the Gryffindor and the professor. She wanted to see how exactly one would find their Inner Eye, and why was it Kurumi the girl who already had her outer eyes confused COUGHaboutboysCOUGH?

But the girl was... not moving. And her eyes were staring blindly at the desk. Louisa frowned and asked the overly excited blonde woman, "Err... Is it normal that she freezes like that?" Just to check, Louisa poked the girl gently on the shoulder.

If she fell... it meant something WRONG happened. If she snapped awake with some voodoo talk, it'd be her Inner Eye alright.

Not to mention Kurumi had been acting weird at times throughtout the term, blanking out at times much like this one. "Um...professor. Not that I doubt its possible." Having seen it. " But I'm not sure thats what it is..." Gideon spoke up getting hesitantly to his feet and debating moving closer to his friend. Hopefully the professor wouldn't think he was simply an unbeliever be a bit more open minded that it might be something else. At least the Ravenclaw prefect Louisa seemed to be unsure of things as well.[/COLOR]

She could have been looking up at the ceiling or straight into someone's eyes, the look would have been the same. Empty. Kurumi didn't even hear Professor Elwood's announcement of her being in the beyond. She wasn't really anywhere, besides physically being in her seat, so one could almost argue that she was beyond The Beyond. Kurumi's body may have mood slightly at Louisa's touch, but that was not of the Gryffindor's own doing but rather the force of the poke.

Staying this way for several more uncomfortable moments - at least to those observing her - it was almost uncertain as to whether or not Kurumi was actually breathing. She was just THAT frozen.

Kurumi blinked suddenly, but showed no sign of feeling uncomfortable. In fact, Kurumi simply looked at her stones, blinking a few more times, and then picked up her quill to begin writing down her analysis of her spread.

Kurumi decided that she needed a small break before moving on to Week Five, which had two stones and therefore would require a bit more guess work thinking. It was not that she realized that...there were people...around her....watching her. Um.....awkward.

"Is there something wrong?" she asked innocently. Professor Elwood looked as though she were about to burst and, well, Louisa and Gideon were looking like they had just seen someone kick a cruppy or something of that sort.
Quote:

.....

Shoot. "Well, technically visions are not always performed by Seers in a uniform way but this may be her own way. We just need to see if she begins to project her Sight vocally to us." Calista looked at Kurumi expectantly, waiting for something, anything to come from the girl.

Nothing.

Before she could do anything the Ravenclaw Prefect poked the entranced girl and the Gryffindor male prefect joined them, doubting too, that Miss Hollingberry was a proper Seer. Like he would know, Professor Elwood was teaching the blasted subject.

But before she could say anything else, Kurumi unfroze and continued to work as if nothing had happened and then looked at them to ask if something was wrong.

O___________o

"Dear, are you alright?" She asked the girl, still secretly hoping what had just happened was indeed a vision. "Oh, nevermind. It's nothing. Miss Carter and Mister Gert back to your desks to finish your work or to wait for me to check it." She didn't need another fiasco in this lesson which seemed to happen alot at Hogwarts.

She might have to bring up what had just happened though with another Professor. Callie just didn't like that it sort of reminded her of when Max had fallen from his broom during that last Quidditch match.
Since it seems Prefect Hollingberry isn't a Seer, what could be happening? Keep you eyes peeled.

It was just because there simply had been no other seat available. So it wasn't like either of them had chosen this. Or seemed too happy about it.

Only why did he still want to throw one of the Plimpy's legs at Jonathan?!

Hearing her chuckle made him turn in his seat again to narrow his eyes at the Ravenclaw next to him. "What's so funny?" Did she think the two sitting next to each other was laughable or something? Because it wasn't. Like, at all. Before he focused on the creature in front of him he glanced back over at the other desk just in time to catch Jonathan's smirk. And while he wasn't exactly any good at ready facial expressions, this one was very clear. The Slytherin did seem to enjoy this. For whatever reason.

Once he was done untangling the Plimpy's legs, Lewis reached for his wand to clean his hands before reaching for his quill. Right, maybe he should have worn the gloves - like Louisa. FOCUS LEWIS! Noting what he'd done so far - which wasn't a lot - on his notebook, the Hufflepuff turned his attention back to the front. Not without allowing his eyes to rest on Kurumi and Jonathan again for a LONG! moment. Was the Slytherin now closer to Kurumi than before?! Lewis narrowed his eyes at them as he tried to remember how close they had been a few moments ago.




Luckily for all of them his attention was caught by another Hufflepuff who was basically SCREAMING for attention. Literally. And who had something to say in reply when Lewis corrected him. Which puzzled him somewhat, making him forget all about Kurumi and Jonathan for a moment. "It's dead." He replied slowly as if he was talking to a child. His eyes flicked to the creature on the desk again to give it a pointed look.

See, there. It doesn't get much deader.

The way the boy had worded his reply confused him a little as well. He had...thanked him? Yes? Had he? Or not? HUH!?

---

But back to Professor Lafay.

She made a lot more sense than this Hufflepuff guy AND WAS PRETTIER THAN HIM!

Sort of making a rough sketch of a Plimpy, he labeled the parts according to what the professor was telling them. Right. In case they would need it later. Scratching his chin with the end of his quill, Lewis cocked his head slightly to the side as he stared down at the Plimpy in front of him, thinking about Professor Lafay's question. What other parts could be used in which potions and why? Since most of the other students had already said the obvious one - Plimpy eyes for fertilizer - he didn't really want to say that as well.

Hmm.

He had never worked with Plimpies before - except for their eyes - so he wasn't entirely sure. Hesitantly, Lewis raised his hand and started to reply, "Maybe the legs could be used in some sort of strength po-" Only he just stopped talking right in the middle of his sentence for no apparent reason. His body had completely stopped moving, one hand still in the air, his gaze still straight ahead on the professor and his mouth still hanging open slightly as if somebody had cast a stunning spell on him right in the middle of his word.


Text Cut: Lewis' Notes
PLIMPIES


Step 1: Untangle the Plimpy's legs.
Wha!?!? First Kurumi, now Lewis!? What on Earth is happening!?

The professor shook his head, grinning, and raised his wand to show the kids a simple spell to remove the oil. "Silly silly drag----"

And then Williamson froze. Mid-sentence, mid-spell, his body just went into a stone-like state and he dropped face forward onto the hard, solid floor of the barn, and remained immobile there without another word.

WAIT!

WHAT?!

"You're going to close Hogwarts? But..." Looking around at all the immobile ones she wanted to shout out... 'WAKE UP!' but she knew that wouldn't do any good. Eyeing the box again she slowly picked it up. "You know, we may not be certain this is the thing that's causing all these problems but I am certain of one thing..." Raising her arm she threw the box at the wall as hard as she could. Hearing the glass shatter she looked back over at the Head Master. "...If that was the cause of all this..." she said gesturing to all the frozen ones, "...we don't have to worry about it happening to anyone else now." Of course the only way to test that theory was to wait and see if anyone else fell victim to this... whatever you want to call it.
And now the orb is broken...hopefully we didn't need it?

And we are sorry about your box, Headmaster. And let's hope your words are right!

What's going on here in the Library? Seems that some Research Assistants and/or History of Magic nerds addicts are rooting through some old old old old OLD papers...

SPOILER!!: On that page

Aside from the brief bowtruckle infestation set down by Archimedes Ollivander (see Chapter 22), the 1752-1753 school year was remarkable only as the final time the dungeons were flooded by the Black Lake. Headmaster Irmgard Blacio set out the first primitive anti-leak charms throughout the lower floors of the school, charms that remained intact in some iteration until the Mermish invasion of 2068.

Several students fell victim to what was believed to be a resulting black mold infestation, although medical records from this time period were spotty and unsophisticated. Known symptoms included headaches, fatigue, and blackouts. The mold infestation was officially listed as coming from damp lake water creeping into the kitchens, as a group of Hufflepuff seventh years suffered the most serious side effects: six of them slipped into a coma that lasted through May and were only awakened successfully by the excellent ministrations of Head Healer Walton Persch right before the end of term.

The school was well dried out by the fall of 1754, the next time accurate records can be found regarding Hogwarts history. Blacio is remarkably silent regarding this time period, which is strange considering the fact that the Hogwarts Headmaster was an avid writer and kept up-to-the-minute journal entries for most of his life. Indeed, an entire vault at Gringott's is filled with his 419 journals, and the space is specially charmed for book preservation. This author has been provided only limited access to these journals, so that despite the many rumors printed in the local press at that time, no factual evidence about the period immediately following the black mold infestation has been discovered. This author will not deign to acknowledge rumormongers within these factual pages.

Silence From the Castle Finally Ends

21 June 1754

Perhaps we shall never know why the professors and students at Hogwarts School have refused contact with those outside the castle for the past school year, although speculation from parents and the Board of Governors abound. Mercurio Medfast, governor for four years and father of two Hogwarts students, commented for the Hogsmeade Harbinger, "It is of our opinion that Headmaster Blacio is hoping to make use of the affection we have for our families through this misguided and immature show of temper. My children would most certainly have returned for Christmas and Easter if under their own power. What he hopes to prove by exerting his authority is unknown."

Indeed, the Headmaster and his staff prove elusive for those seeking comment regarding the silence over the course of the term, which only seems to further the speculation that Dark Magic was performed upon the students in residence at the bequest of the Head. Head Boy and seventh year Slytherin Herald Escalante, class of 1753, agreed to speak to the Harbinger, although his untruths made any testimony implausible. Herald Escalante insisted that he was still the Head Boy, despite his supposed graduation a year ago. Ravenclaw Daniel Westbrooks, supposed sixth year, refused opportunity to comment, insisting he had OWLs for which to prepare, and Hufflepuff Amarantha de Talone, also class of 1753, would only say that they had been asked by the staff not to speak with journalists.

Lies? Refusal to speak? The Harbinger begs the indulgence of its readers in this story, as hard facts are impossible to find. What we know is that this is a mystery that may never be solved, especially with students sworn to secrecy and professors playing as willing pawns in Blacio's game.

"Theres a possibility of it being dark magic." Scabior replied sending a nod Vickers way. At the current moment, really anything was possible. He was certain it was not a Basilisk but Dark Magic? That sounded plausible. Making his way toward the group he quickly scanned the news article.

....Not only did it speak about unknown time gaps but there was also something interesting within the piece.

Scabior leaned over and pointed to a particular named. The Headboy's. "Peculiar that the Headboy at the time of the strange happenings has the same surname as one of our current Prefects."
Shall the light soon be shed on the Case of the Frozen Hogwartians? These papers sure do contain some curious coincidences....

While lessons in the forest aren't all that unusual, and while bowtruckles inhabiting the forest are PERFECTLY normal... there's something... FISHY... about the turn of events in this Divination lesson. In the words of a Puff, there's some 'bad mojo' in the atmosphere. And since when did people leave their jewelery in the forest? Could it be safer there than in a Gringotts vault?

Bowtruckles looked up from the small soft one's legs and arms that they were biting and scratching to see woodlice brought by the grown man soft ones and they immediately began to hop into the air and try and grab it, with most of them slowly, yet surely, leaving into the woods where they had come from.

The one that had been blasted off of a stick by the one soft one with long-ish hair (Elijah) flew through the air and gobbled up a few lice before hitting the ground and skipping off into the woods but not before dropping a small golden, yet tarnished, locket to the ground that hadn't been noticed before. When you get a closer look at the piece of jewelry a small word can be made out in curvy caligraphy: Amarantha.

Whatever that meant.

As the small horde of Bowtruckles left some turned back around to shout Bowtruckle insults at some of the intruders before disappearing into the woods once more. Even the little one that was sitting on the Nettle-headed one's shoulder (Spike) slowly slumped down and finished nibbling at the wood lice it had recieved and waved, sort-of before walking off.

Once the wood lice had mostly been distributed out of the clearing the last Bowtruckle hopped into the nearest tree and it was quiet again.

As the bowtruckles emerged, and Elijah continued to threaten to set them on fire over and over in his head, he watched on as the Professor took ACTION! Yeah! She was totally ready to fight back and... oh wait, no... she wasn't. She was too busy using his BEST friend as a shield! Yeah, he said it! BEST friend. How dare she endanger him just to save her own old behind. Elijah was going to have to tell Vickers he definitely needed better taste in women. Although perhaps he enjoyed being the knight and shining armor and protector for the Professor? In fact, come to think of it Vickers was probably LOVING it.

Things took a bad turn, however, when more of the bowtruckles started attacking, one of which (a rather LARGE one at that) decided to get jiggy with this here hawt 'Puff. The damn creature latched itself to the end of his wand and began scratching at his hand.

"ARGGHHHHHHH! YOU LITTLE-"

Elijah began flailing his arms around, giving the bowtruckle a sort of rollercoaster ride which he continued to hold on to despite having no harness. "LET GO!" he warned. The more this damn stick scratched, the more he ruined Elijah's skin and the more Elijah's skin was ruined, the less attractive he became and that was NOT an option!

The Groundskeeper eventually turned up with the woodlice that were supposed to help this situation... but it didn't LOOK like it was helping as his bowtruckle CONTINUED to scratch at his bloody hands! "STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT!" he whined at the HORRID little BEAST, "FLIPENDO!!!!"

He said automatically out of sheer frustration more than anything. Latching on the end of a wand may not have been the bowtruckles smartest idea, but trying to jinx a horrifically aggressive creature when it had so many horrifically aggressive brothers and sisters probably wasn't Elijah's best idea either...

Uh oh.

It was pretty expensive looking and would probably only make him look more attractive. He quickly put it around his neck, more concerned for his hand at the moment.

"Uh....Elijah are you sure you want wear that? It looks pretty old and unless it's yours, I think that you should turn it in to Professor Elwood. You don't know where the Bowtruckles got it from. It could be bad mojo." Alyssa whispered to her fellow Hufflepuff.

The locket did look old and the word Amarantha on it sounded familiar to her. She just couldn't place where she had seen it before.

When she stopped infront of Elijah she reached out and ripped the locket from his neck, snapping the fragile, old chain.

"Mr. Wilde, do you understand how incrediably stupid it is to put on an object you found in the middle of the forest? Does it make sense to you that a random locket you find in the forest would be safe to wear? It isn't!" Calista looked up from the boy, shaking her head incredulously, and gestured for the two other adults to join her with the others looking at the strange artifact. Hopefully the men were knowledgable of jewelry.

"What could this mean? It says, 'Aramantha', do we have one of those here at Hogwarts? The thing looks pretty old." And it did. The gold was all tarnished and the chain was obviously frail and broken now.

"Huh," he mused aloud, leaning in toward the locket as best as he could. "That name sounds familiar, though I can't place it. Maybe you should pop it open?"

Or would that upset the Bowtruckles?? "It's funny," William chuckled to himself, struck by a sudden thought, "it was like this time last year when I got attacked by bowtruckles during a lesson too! I thought one was my wand and I picked it up and then this HUGE Blast-Ended Skrewt popped up and..." he trailed off and shook his head, "it was a disaster. At least your lesson is going better than that, Callie."

Kids were still picking up sticks and all.

She did however flash him a look that softened after a second. She wasn't mad at him, or really any of them, she was just glad everyone was safe. She would need to talk to Medea and hopefully become more prepared next time before entering the forest.

But all worries aside, Professor Elwood turned the golden necklace over in her hand and then faced William and his fainted Puff fair maiden as he mentioned the fact that the name sounded familiar. "It does? Well, is she is a student?" The name hadn't come up during her lessons or when she was marking homework but her subject wasn't a core one but neither was Care of Magical Creature--although she was sure that scary animals and stuff of the sort attracked more students than crystal balls and lithomancy. Pfft. But if this locket belonged to a student they needed to find her to return it and more importantly ask her what she was doing in the forest to lose it in the first place.

Professor Elwood was good and ready to put the thing in one of her pockets and get back to helping her students gather sticks for their Ogham Stave readings when her friend suggested opening the thing. Well...that was actually a good idea. Lockets often had things inside, so why not?

As she looked for a latch she listened to Williamson as he mentioned the creature chaos he had experienced last term and was glad she hadn't been there although it did sound eerily similar. But oooh! The locket popped open and reveled it's contents.

"Woah, she's pretty isn't she?" she said showing the picture of the girl in the photograph to her collegues. Others in the area would have seen it too, and could have easily heard the conversation going on by now. The face seemed familiar, as if Callie had seen the girl not too long ago...but that was impossible. The date. "That date says 1753 but I'm certain I've seen this girl, I didn't know her name though." Was she going crazy? Callie was getting really confused now and wished she was one of the students just getting to pick sticks up off the ground.
And all this drama... just for an old locket. But who is this Amarantha?

Hey Everyone...

Looking to have some fun away from school... away from your studies and all that homework?

If you answered yes to this then head on over to Hogsmeade.

Who knows what you might discover while there.

He flipped through the pages of the book to see if he could find anything. Unfortunately he couldn't find anything else. So before finishing his tea, and headed back up to the counter. Once he was up there he finished his tea, and placed the cup on the table. "Ahh th-."

His eyes widened to the size of saucers, and they turned black. Not just on part black, completely black. His muscles stiffened. He fell backwards on the floor. What was in that tea that made him freeze?

Hmm who would have thought that, that the funny huffie kid would be interested in books. Taking a drink of her drink. A smile appeared on the girls face. The tea was good. But the smile stayed on her face and the cup to her mouth. Like many times this past term Nerida froze but it wasn't because of the same reason. This time it wasn't caused by some unknown thing it was caused by that tea... But what could have been in there that caused her to freeze.
Something is going on in the Tomes and Scrolls Bookshop. It seems like it from...........tea!?

What's this? Frozen students in Hogsmeade? And the one who froze them with her special tea, Miss Amarantha de Talone, trying to escape? Luckily, there is someone there to try and stop her!

Sigh.



"No, it's just tea," Amarantha insisted, ignoring the girl's demands and moving around the counter to lean over the young girl who was frozen there. She put her fingers to the girl's wrist and to her forehead before sighing dramatically.

"You must settle down, my dear. I'm not a bad puppy for you to scold."



"You can put it on the counter and I'll get to you in a moment," Amarantha reassured the girl. "But please don't have any of the tea. I'm afraid there may be something wrong with it. Perhaps it sat on the shelf too long?" She really would have loved to insist the girl have some tea, but that would be awfully suspicious.



Amarantha gave the little girl a calm look. Hilarious. What a funny little thing.

"I'll go and retrieve the Healer myself."



"Stay calm, please, and do not point your wand at me. It is considered to be quite disrespectful. I'm going to check on the other boy, and then we can make decisions about how best to seek treatment."

Amarantha took a few steps towards the Hufflepuff on the floor before running the last few steps toward the door and slipping through it. Escape!

Whilst not raised, his wand was still at his side when the woman went to 'check up on' the nosey Huffer. But no longer had she reached him than she had bolted for the door. Elijah sent a stunning spell in her direction, but his aim was way off and made contact with the wall instead.

"DAMMIT!" he screamed frustrated as the woman exited the shop. He wanted to go after her, but he also wanted to stay and make sure the frozen ones stayed safe... but the woman couldn't get away with it...

"Someone stay with the frozen kids and try and send for help as quickly as possible," he shouted generally to the shop as he ran for the door, chasing after the woman. What he was doing could be seen as brave, but probably extremely stupid, also. Who knew what sort of magical skills this woman who seemed to stock freezing tea might have?
