HoM Lesson Two: Room Four
 

This room appears to be better than the last. More space to walk (and NOT float) and and the walls are a simple white. Up on the ceiling there seems to be a number of grey clouds painted that look quite strange.

As you take a few steps into the room a loud rumbling is heard before heavy rain starts to pour down from the ceiling.




OOC: One post is fine this time! Do not post in here unless I said your previous answer from the second room was correct.

After SOMEHOW managing to float her way out of the third room and into the fourth and her body suddenly went crashing to the ground as gravity seemed to be in effect in this one. Rubbing her slightly sore forehead, Kurumi pushed herself up off the ground and then looked around when...

.....................it started to rain. SO NOT COOL!

Soaking wet and shivering, Kurumi squinted her eyes and looked at the clue as it appeared on the wall. Well, HOW was she supposed to write now that it was raining? Want out, Kurumi cast Impervius on her parchment before she wrote down her answer and slipped it into the drop box. Wouldn't work if her ink was all runny, right?

Minerva pretty much fell into the next room. Landing hard on the ground she got up and looked around. At least there was not floating here, but as she looked around there were clouds above. Why were there clouds in the room. Then she was getting wet.. wet.. are you kidding me.. "Scabiors really..." She mumbled irritated with the entire process. This was getting to be annoying and she was ready to be done. How many more rooms would they have to go through, what were they actually learning through this, the different ghost..

Looking for the next riddle she struggled from all the water, but then she found it and read it. She knew quickly what it was and wrote as fast as she could possibly write, throwing the parchment into the slot and watched for the door to open.. She wanted out of this rain, she was not liking being wet...

Vivi still had the splatty quill, since her other one was hanging out in the last room, and she was also soaking wet. As was her parchment. As was the ink that dripped everywhere. Was her parchment even useable?

She shivered rather violently as she pressed her parchment against the white wall and attempted to form letters. They were... well, they were sad looking, but it was mostly legible and Scabior was the devil and he'd deal with whatever he got.

She shoved her parchment through the door and then looked longingly at her classmates. Were any of them adverse to her cuddling up to them for body heat? This Ravenclaw was a eagle-sicle.

Despite the rain you manage to get the correct answer into the mail slot. However the door does not open! As the raindrops continue to fall, another riddle is formed beside the original, only visible to anyone who got the first answers correct.


OOC: Do not answer this unless you are one of the people quoted.

Floating......floating......falling.........FALLIN G.

Emmanuelle let out an "Umphf!" when her body met the floor of the next room. Could've used a little warning there, Scabior! Anyway, she was able to use her own two feet for what they were meant for now, which was something she guessed. Once she got up, that was. Pulling herself up, she looked quickly around for the next riddle. Or was trying to, before it started to rain on her. And was that thunder she had heard?! Not fun.

So, she stood there, getting soaked, while she worked out the riddle. Once she had her answer (which she had pretty quickly), tried to figure out a way of actually writing it down. You know, since the rain would smear the ink and weaken the parchment. She remembered a spell that she had learned a long time ago, but rarely used. Now if only she could remember the incantation...... Oh yeah! It was Immpedimus. Or was it Impervious? Definitely Impervious, that sounded right. She aimed her wand at her parchment cast the spell. Yay, it worked! She followed that up with a drying spell, and wrote down her answer. Now to get over to the slot. She started that way, slipping a few times and shoved it quickly in. And now she waits.

WHAT THE....

Kurumi continued to tug and pull on the door...but nothing happened. Ug, and it was STILL raining and just...not cool. Stepping away from the door and pushing her black bangs away from her face so she could somewhat see, Kurumi grumbled when she saw another clue appear. Not spoken of at all? There was only one thing that came to mind when she saw a specific word in the clue...but it was probably waaaaaay off course, and quickly took out another piece or parchment, cast the same water repelling charm on it, and wrote down her answer before slipping it into the slot.



Biting her lower lip, Kurumi stepped back and looked up at the rain. Uuuuuuuuuuuug.

Jory though he knew this answer. He had almost gotten mixed up with this one and the previous answer. He turned up his collar as rain began to soak him. Whatever else did they have to encounter? He scribbled his answer hastily and dropped it through the slot.

When the door opened in the other room Vickers eagerly crawled through the door space...

*SPLAT*

.... hello gravity ye ol' friend.

Groaning he picked himself up, knitting his brows together. This is one heck of a class. Would he remember any of these when he's having his NEWTs? Worse... is he going to have to go through any of these during his NEWTs? Merlin forbid he wants to actually live to use his NEWTs not die through it.

But at least now he's in what looks to be a proper room and as he glanced around for the clue he saw the grey clouds painted on the ceiling. Huh a tribute to the illussions of the Great Hall? Thats fine... now where is that cl--

*RRRRRUMBLE!DOWNPOURRRRRRR*

Oh sure... drench him to the bones why dont yah...

He found the riddle but writing it on a parchment was a challenge in itself. How on earth is he going to write something down without it turning into some kind of blueberry oatmeal in his hands? He looked about for some kind of shade... yeah as if Scabbior would provide that. He then scurried towards one corner of the room and hunched down, using his back to protect his book bag as he struggled to scribble out the answer within its folds. Hastily folding it inside he ran towards the door and quickly slammed it through the mail slot. Please let it be right, he needs to get out of the rain!

Sarah was glad that her depulso worked, as she went into the next room.. all seemed fine and she had almost solved the puzzle when... it began raining. Using the charm she had learnt in charms, she managed to keep herself and dry. She then wrote the answer on a piece of partchment and slipped it into the mail box slot

Vivi's chin gave a great wibble at the appearance of another clue. That was just more time to be wet and cold, and, unless Scabior was pouring down hot soup and pepper up in this shower, she was going to suffer the consequences.

Her bag was wet now, as was all the parchment, and Vivi struggled to find a piece dry enough for this new riddle's answer. What was it anyway? Something new, which meant a departure from the entire category of answers they had been in before. Well... Might as well guess and try to get out of here faster.

She sneezed. It begins.

OH PHEW! Louisa's feet felt weird on the ground and she stumbled a bit before straightening up and looking around. The crowd sure was thinning now, she was personally content that her fellow seventh years claws were still hanging in there. OH OH, the puzzle! She untucked the quill from her hair and the parchment from inside her shirt, those precautions she took from the floating room, and headed for the message.

HMMM. Obviously the first puzzle was a general easy one because it's supposed to help with what's next. The Ravenlcaw placed the parchment on the wall and--- was it raining?! Her gaze went up to the ceiling, squinting and taking a moment of surprise before quickly scribbling down her answer.



Into the mail slot it went! She crossed her arms and was jumping on the ball of her feet in anticipation. Come ooonnn....

Laura was glad her feet was finally on the ground, though she decided she wanted out of here as fast as she could, shouting "I'm a hogwarts student get me out of here wouldn't work would it?" Laura thought it probably wouldn't so she decided to do the next best thing and answer the quiz.



Laura seriously hoped that was right and she was hoping that the crazy Professor didn't have many more riddles for her to work out.

4th Riddle
 

Your answer is correct! But the door does not open for you! Nor does it open for the person who submitted their answers after you! Strange! As the raindrops continue to fall, another riddle is formed beside the original, only visible to anyone who got the first answers correct.


OOC: Do not answer this unless you are one of the people quoted above.

By now you are completely soaked, but that's alright! The door clicks open and you are now ready for the final room! Enter as quickly as you can! People behind you are catching up.

Was it correct? Her answer? Yes? Louisa sighed impatiently looking at the door that did NOT open. Oh.. wait, something changed next to this message. "This.. is new." Muttering to herself and feeling the raindrops getting harder gradually. She protested her eyes as she read the fifth puzzle and quickly bent, making a shelter to write on the parchment using her thigh.

She had a very wide selection to pick for this one, but there was this.. line... it made something click in her head and hopefully it led her to the right path answer.



The Ravenclaw gathered up her hair into a bun and used the quill to hold it there as she folded the parchment and slipped it into the mail slot. She didn't like this superficial rain. Comeoooonnn! Be correct!

Please?

Why was the door not opening... Why, why, WHY.... She was so wet and she hated this. She was ready to stop coming to Scabs classes all together, this was just getting annoying. Then another riddle, ANOTHER ONE!!!! The raid would stop, she wondered if she could use the charm they learned to keep the rain off of her.

She then just shrugged it off and decided to just answer the question, before anymore things went on in this blasted room..

Laura had been expecting the door to open so when it didn't she was in total shock, had it broken down and if that was the case where they stuck in her forever, well there was one thing she wasn't going to stay her forever even if she had to blow the door open she would somehow get out, she was thinking of doing it when suddenly another riddle came so that was why the door hadn't openned.



Laura put the answer in the box and prayed it was right and she also hoped that this time it would open the door, she wanted out of this room.
