It hadn't taken long to get from the first floor to the ground floor. From there it was a quick turn and they were facing a door. A very special door, as the door to any broom closet was.

Turning to the class, and doing a quick count of heads to make sure no one had pulled a fast one, Sabel motioned the kidlets to gather round.

"Alright then. So, this is our first stop of the day. As was mentioned by some of your classmates, you never know when you might have to high-tail it out of a dangerous situation, or away from pursuers. Sometimes, it's not enough to simply run, but one must also hide."

Reaching behind him, Sabel opened turned the door-handle and opened the door to the closet. "Small spaces, such as cupboards and closets are excellent hiding areas for those in trouble. They are also somewhat predictable. So, a quick disillusionment often helps."

Of course, normally the broom closet was small and squishy, and would only fit a handful of students. But of course, this was Hogwarts and they were wizards and witches and well, an extension charm went a long way. Quite literally. The broom closet was, at least temporarily, extended so that the class could easily fit inside without being crammed. Indeed it was more like a broom 'room' than closet.

It was useful, to have friends in the Ministry.

With a grin, Sabel turned back to the waiting students. "Your task here is quite simple, and of course, two fold. First, I would like you to find a way to make yourself 'invisible' in the broom closet. Keep in mind, there are a lot of little details and intricacies in the number of items and objects in here, so that may affect the concentration which you need for casting and holding the chosen spell."

He paused, making sure that everyone was on the same page. "Secondly, I would like you to find ONE other classmate who is hidden. You can use any of the methods that we discussed in class, save for anything that might cause physical harm."

Did they all understand?

"If you have questions, or need help, feel free to ask. Otherwise, you have some time before we move again." Indeed, this wasn't the first stop in their lesson journey.

Please TITLE all your posts with DADA Lesson 1 - Post #.

Adi followed Dakest and the rest of the class to the broom closet. He stood at practically the back of the group, bouncing on his feet as usual. Everyone knew it was difficult to stand still, yes? Goody!

Right! So he got this. Hide by casting the Disillusionment Charm on himself and then find someone else. Or vice versa since everyone couldn't hide at once. Where was the logic in that? Adi opted to use the Charm first. He was good at it, having used it multiple times over the summer. He bounded after the class. Ohh! It was bigger on the inside. Extension Charm at work, of course.

Taking a bit of time to examine the extended cupboard, casually leaned against a pile of brooms, watching his classmates. Would anyone notice if he simply vanished? Hmmm. Time to find out. ''Disillusio!'' he thought and making the appropriate wand movement- the one that seemed he was coiling or wrapping rope around himself. This was an easy spell for him, yo!

Aditya Rehman fading out!

As the class had headed out of the DADA classroom, Brooklyn had followed. Of course she’d followed, not having any reason not to. She’d thought about casting the Disillusionment Charm on herself right after they’d left, but she’d stopped herself. If anyone would have noticed her disappearance, Professor Dakest would have. She wouldn’t have expected any different, and the fact he’d appeared to take a head count as soon as they’d stopped in front of, of all places, a broom closet, told her she’d been right. Not that she’d ever thought she would have been wrong, after the last few terms. The professors ought to be extra vigilant in making sure students didn’t disappear by now.

Still, she’d managed to hide herself behind several students as he’d explained the activity, once they’d all stepped inside said broom closet. It was crowded, but not as crowded as she’d expect. Or as quiet, as she’d managed to make the coiling movement around herself rather easily. “Disillusio!,” she said, hardly waiting to see if her spell had worked before she moved away to find something to tuck herself behind. She couldn’t see her arm as she looked down at it, anyway, slipping behind a stack of brooms. Being small had its advantages, as did her ballet training. Being graceful meant she’d barely jostled anything.

Do excuse the first year for his silence throughout the lesson so far. His mind was almost blown by the mere fact that he was going to learn how to turn invisible right in this day. Funny how you just wake up thinking this was going to be an ordinary day then this happens. Aldous Armstrong was loving school so very much.

So as they walked out of the classroom he kept murmuring the incantation under his breath for practice so he could be on top of his game when they were going to actually do it! Thinking ahead like a boss.And it was time. The Ravenclaw pulled out his wand, cleared his throat and placed the wand on top of his head then copied the professor's move from earlier, the rope thingy. "Disillusio," He muttered then waited. Nothing happened. Well, it wasn't like this was going to work from the very first time, right?! ignoring the other kids who succeeded right away they were older and much experienced, okay?

He wasn't going to be discouraged, actually he was a little bit but he was going to ignore that and start all over. Wand at the top of his head, wand moving and, "Disillusio," Still nothing. He probably lacked the concentration since he was awfully excited about the idea. He needed to calm down and concentrate. Think about turning invisible.

Aldous lowered his gaze and put up his wand again and slowly started doing the movement while he spoke the incantation, "Disillusio," At first he just stood there not wanting to get disappointed again but finally he mustered up the courage and waved his hand. Nothing! fkjgruieghnjfghruighrf! It worked!

He let out a faint excited screech then immediately contained his excitement. Wouldn't want to get caught easily now, would we? Slowly, the eagle backed down slowly and flattened himself against a stack of boxes. Not the most creative solution but he hoped it'd do the job.

And he also had to find someone who was hiding. Hmm. How to do THAT?

Janelle had updated her notes and followed the class to the ground floor broom closet. Now they were actually going to get to try the spells that they had been talking about. Making yourself invisible, how cool was that? Janelle thought that this would probably not be an easy spell to perform correctly. She would really need to concentrate and keep her focus. It was never easy among so many classmates, but in a real life situation.........it would be much worse.

So, Janelle began by practicing the incantation. "Disillusio, Disillusio, Disillusio." When she felt that she had a pretty good handle on the word, she moved on to the next step. Taking her wand, she made a coiling motion around her self from top to botton. Janelle practiced this movements several times, then she was ready.......or so she thought. Once her practice was complete, Janelle closed her eyes and tried to shut out all of the distractions around her.

Not feeling particularly confident, Janelle tried to think positively. She could do this. Coiling her wand around her body, she said, "Disillusio". She looked down and by some miracle, she had done it. She was now hidden from the view of her classmates. Thank Merlin it had worked. Now all she had to do was reveal one of the other students. Yeah, easy peasy.

Questions? Yes, Owen had them. Lots of them. But he felt like it was common knowledge for everyone else but him so...he probably should just visit Professor Dakest sometime soon at his office and mention his difficulty with the subject. He really didn't want to make a fool of himself.

So now...hiding. They were playing hide-and-seek? He had to somehow use a spell that would conceal his bulky form, huh? How did the Professor do that earlier? The incantation...Disillusio. Okay, got that one....and also the wand movement.

Okaaaaaaaaaaaay.

Let's see if this works. He was the kind who needed to have practice before being able to correctly perform a spell, so he was kind of not expecting good results with this one. Anyway, he just had to try. The young badger bent down and got his wand from his ankle holster. Then raised it above his head and cast, "Disillusio!"

Alas, he was really not good with casting spells. He was invisible...save for his right calf down to his foot. Silly Owen. Ah, well. That will have to make do...for now.

HE HAD TO HIDE!

Oh wait. He was invisible. But what about his foot? Hmm....Hmm...Looking around, he found a solution. Mops! Surely he could stand next a mop, cover his visible body part and yes? That could work, eh?

So Owen did just that.

But his foot was big and his calf was meaty.

The mop was not enough to cover it entirely.

Eeep!

And they now what?

FIELD TRIP??

This was gonna be exciting. The lioness and the other students then followed Professor Dakest leaving the classroom. And here they were, the broom closet. Her brown eyes were slightly widened as the DADA Professor stopped at the closet. Wasn't that place too small for all of them? But apparently there's a charm that he used so the broom closet seemed larger, maybe it was the same charm that her mother used for her bag.

So they're gonna play hide and seek? Hehehehe.... this would be fun!

Ava then started casting the disillusionment charm for herself. "Disillusio!" She cast the spell to all over herself. Dang, it didn't work on the first try. No worries, let's try it again. "Disillusio!" And it worked! She was totally invisible now. And now she had to hide. Hmm.... Where? She noticed that there were things (like the boxes or any other stuffs) that being covered by drapes. Since she was small enough, she decided to hide under the drapes.

You know what? Aldous did NOT like his current hiding spot. It wasn't even a hiding spot to be exact. If it wasn't for him being invisible he would be in plain sight and that meant anyone could see him and now bump into him. So he was going to find another hiding spot. Yup.

His eyes darted from place to another trying to find the perfect hiding spot. Oh, look! There was a stack of brooms over there! He could slip behind them since he was small. Perfect plan.

Slowly, the kid made his way there hoping no one was going to somehow sense him. And don't ask him how that could happen. Finally he made it to the stack of broom now he only needed to get behind them. Easy! Though he did need to be careful as to not knock anything down or make a sound. He could be sneaky, mhm.

And just as he started slipping behind the brooms he bumped into something.. or someone. kfjghuthgt! Someone was already there! He needed to act fast! What were they supposed to do again? He did NOT practice the revealing spell. Aw, man.

So without giving it much thought, the Ravenclaw boy extended both his arms and wrapped them around the person, hugging them. Yup, it was a person. "Gotcha!" He totally knew they were here. Not like it was an accident or anything. Nope. And then he just remained like that not knowing what to do next. He was just going to keep hugging the person, a thought must come to him eventually, yeah? Sounded like the perfect plan.

SPOILER!!: Owen

So Owen did just that.

But his foot was big and his calf was meaty.

The mop was not enough to cover it entirely.

Eeep!

While she was hiding under the drape, the Gryffindor firstie still took a peek around, watching if there's somebody that gonna came here and find her. No one? Hmm.. Staying under the drape for a while (she didn't know exactly how long) was quite bored, y'know? Maybe she'd better to come out and try to find somebody to get caught, Hehehe. She noticed that there was a big leg that covered by the mop.

Oh look, it had to be the student.

And since the leg looked so big, she doubted that it belonged to first year. Must be somebody who was fourth or fifth year. EEEEEEPPP!!! She's gonna catch an older student! But how to reveal him? (Yeah, it had to be a male student since he's wearing trousers.) Ava tried to cast the counter-spell. It's finite, right? Okay. "Finite!" She whispered as she cast the counter-spell. But it didn't work. Ugh! One more try? "Finite!"

Daxton had to admit, he had been hoping for something more special than this when there had been mention of a 'field trip', especially given the fact that in his mind, classes were supposed to be held in their appropriate section of the castle, and any deviation from that would have to be exceptional to make up for the fact that it was downright stressful.

He had been dubious about going to the mystery location, which was now no longer a mystery in the slightest, but Daxton was here. And, yet again, was finding himself faced with a familiar problem that cropped up time and time again in all his lessons that involved practical application of magic. He could not say the incarnation, he would not be able to cast the spell. It was not a defeatist attitude, either, but a cold hard fact, as he had already paused on the way down here to practice (too eager to wait for any formal instruction) only to be met with failure.

As students started disappearing inside the broom closet, Daxton lingered in the doorway and peered inside. It was much bigger in there than the last time he had poked his head inside out of curiosity, which made him feel only marginally better about the activity, because it was still a broom closet. Was there anyone who would willingly enter one of those with a large group of other people, where the risk for physical contact was so high, especially given the task?

But it was not as if Daxton would be literally invisible, and so nobody was likely to try and cast water or smoke spells at him to reveal him, or otherwise tackle him to the floor. In fact, the likelihood was that he would be left alone, though there was still a risk.

In the end, it was curiosity that finally drove the first year inside. He would watch the others if he could see them, see what they did. Hide himself in plain sight; if everyone was looking for invisible people, they might pay him no mind. He would try the spell again, sure, but Daxton was not stupid enough as to expect that it would work.

Inside the broom closet he went, and at once Daxton subscribed to the tactic of staying close to the walls - a tactic that actually served him well in day to day life too, as it happen. Withdrawing his wand from its 'home' up his sleeve, Daxton held it over his head and repeated the motion of wrapping a rope around himself. He said nothing, but thought Disillusio with such conviction that he may as well have done, and focused hard on the intent of the spell and his surroundings. A moment later, when Daxton looked down at his body and then inspected his hands, he found that he had, in fact, been completely correct. The spell was a no-go.

Not that he appeared to care in the slightest; proving himself right was hardly likely to invoke any sort of upset. Dalton slipped his wand back up his sleeve - if he could not make himself disappear, he would not be able to magically reveal anyone else - and moved about the perimeter of the room, drawn right up close to the wall, senses alert. For once, it seemed as though having overly keen hearing might actually work in his favour.

He would not be able to reveal anyone, but Daxton might at least be able to detect them.

Field trips were epic. Even if they weren't exactly leaving the castle at least they had gotten a break from the training room today. Nothing wrong with getting out the room and trying what you learned out in the open with your fellow mates. It was a test all in itself to prove she could accomplish what she needed to no matter where she was.

So as it was she was silently going over the spell in her head as she followed behind everyone. It wasn't so much the spell or even the movement she needed to know it was the fact that she needed to blend in with everything else around her. And then she saw it. The broom closet? Seriously?

Blink. Blink.

They would be hiding themselves in there? Well alright then. Before even moving from her spot Hady pulled out her wand and with full confidence in herself recieted the incantation while making the proper coiling motion around herself with her wand, "Disillusio!" At first she wasn't even sure it had worked. Not until she went to move inside the broom closet and she couldn't see her feet. Perfect!

Being much smaller then your average fourteen year old the brunette slipped behind a stack of mops and brooms somewhere between the corner wall and a rack of shelves. Hopefully this was a good spot and no one would bang into her.

Davie definitely wasn't going to be able to cast this spell well with all these other people cramped into a broom closet. Too much pressure. He needed to practice on his own for a while first.

So, finding someone it was! And maybe also he could find a broom to hide behind, or a bucket to put over his head? Speaking of brooms though, here was a nice pile right by the door. Davie reached out to grab one and found himself touching something much more solid than a broom. In fact, that felt like a shoulder!

"FOUND YOU," he announced to whoever it was, swishing his wand at them authoritatively and then remembering the spell. Oh yeah. "Finite."

Don't make any noise, Owen. He thought to himself as he continued to be partly invisible. But of course, his mop-covered foot was a give away. More so because he was not good at spotting people... unless they had food with them.

So it wasn't really a surprise when he suddenly discovered that he could see his hand - the one holding the mop in place. He was found....by no other than....someone he couldn't see. "Aww, maaaaaan." Owen remarked, followed by a finger!snap.

Well, on the brighter side, he could now relieve himself from the stiffness that was caused by the not moving so as to not make sounds and really, now he could go "looking".

Norah turned her wand over in her hand. There was no telling if she'd be able to do that spell Professor Dakest had shown, and being the first one to get it wrong would be all sorts of embarrassing. The younger students had done it, but you just never knew. Somehow being a fifth year didn't automatically make her better at everything which was unfair 'cause it seemed to work for everybody else. She could try it later. Yes. Okay. She slipped her wand back into her pocket and took a moment to glance around the ginormous broom closet (how'd he DO that?). Spell or not, you couldn't deny that this class was being all sorts of fabulous. Invisibility was much more fun that patronuses, possibly only because she'd probably never be able to make a patronus in her whole entire life, but it still counted. And now came the finding part.

They'd talked about a million bazillion different ways of doing this. There was the spell way, but she hadn't done that one before either, and couldn't it just reveal all the people who she knew were already there? The big broom room thingy had a whole bunch of students in it, that part was obvious. Then there was the finite one, which she actually knew how to do. Eh. How 'bout something CREATIVE to get the professor's attention. They'd mention projectile stuff, like flour, 'cept she didn't have any of that on her. Struck with sudden inspiration, she dug deep in her other pocket and pulled out a little back of glitter. Y'know, for emergency reasons. That'd work the same as glitter, right? Plus whoever she found would be the luckiest person in the entire universe.

Norah stuck her head between two mops with a glitter-filled hand held in front of her. With a small puff of air, she blew a little glitter at the empty space before her, and watched it all fall to the floor just like glitter usually did. Okay. Nobody there. She took a few steps further into the closet and blew a little more glitter, grinning this time as it clung to the air as if it'd landed on something that she couldn't see. "Found you!" Other invisible stuff didn't just hang around here, right?

It was a broom closet.

Did the Professor know? When Blaise heard the word field trip, he assumed that at the very least they'd be going out onto the grounds. This wasn't the field; this was a broom closet. Nothing exciting ever happened in those unless the brooms were magicked but he'd already been fed the spiel about no flying at Hogwarts so he wouldn't hold his breath.

The boy was however curious enough to take a peek inside while the Professor spoke. Just as he thought. Just a broom closet--only this one was much bigger and would actually fit everyone for what was starting to sound more like a huge game of hide and seek. He could get behind that he supposed so he opened up his bag to have his quill and notepad float--obvious giveaways they would be--then left his bag outside the door to give himself less things he had to hide. Sure there would be ways to hide himself in here, even if the spell didn't work. As for finding invisible people? He might just run around until he knocked into someo--

Ohai Daxton.

Blaise was all set to walk by the boy, his mind being trained to look for the invisible but at the last second he noticed him and took a step back. "This might work if the lights were off." He offered in a low voice to the boy who was obviously content to stand there all visible like. "You should help me. If we cut the lights we won't even need the spell, just hide in the shadows." And scurry off whenever anyone came too close with their wand light. They were small enough for it to work. Mhm. "What'd ya say?"

IT WORKED. YAY!!

But apparently the student wasn't the older one. He was her fellow firstie from Hufflepuff, Owen. Boo, but at least she could reveal him. Hehehehe. Sorry, Owen. But the lioness couldn't help it. His concealment charm wasn't perfect since his leg was still visible. Okay, and now should she go back hiding under the drape or find another student and reveal them? But apparently they did great, she really couldn't find anyone anymore.

Maybe it would be better if she went back hiding at her previous spot, under the drape.

Ethan’s proud grin was still on his face as the professor addressed him. Of course, it had been a risky move, but he trusted his cousin nonetheless. He has been working with dragons ever since he finished his formal magical schooling in Hogwarts and Durmstrang, so taking risks was already a part of him. Not that Ethan knew the full detail of what happened, but what he knows was, Mordred’s plan worked, and was able to help and pull out everyone from that damned forest.

Should he be taking more notes?

Maybe just write down the incantation of the spell for good measure? Yep, he should write it down just in case he forgets. Though it was unlikely, because Mordred has been helping him with it. Although for the record, the older cousin actually regretted his decision in teaching Ethan that spell.

The Slytherin gathered and stuffed all of his belongings inside his bag, got up, and followed the Professor to…

---

…the broom closet.

It had to be the broom closet. Lots of good memories in there, just saying. Ethan shook his head to focus his attention to the professor up front giving them his instructions. Be invisible…and try not to be found? Psh. Too easy. The Slytherin placed his bag on the ground, got his wand, and twirled his wand over his head, “Disillusio.”

Feeling the familiar sensation of being hit by an egg, Ethan grinned to himself as he looked down and could no longer see his feet. So yes, he was completely camouflaged now. While the others were busy casting the spells on themselves, the Slytherin climbed on a stacked crate, careful not to make any noise, and waited there silently.

“It’s over Anakin. I have the higher ground.” How very true, Master Obi-Wan.

Now…time to observe what seems to be…an empty broom closet.

'What'd ya say?'

Daxton stood right where he was, slow-blinking at Blaise Bellaire. The last question posed to him had the Ravenclaw utterly nonplussed, given his literal interpretation of... well, of everything. What did Daxton say? He did not say anything; that was the one thing about him everyone seemed to notice without fail.

More blinking happened, and Daxton decided to just... ignore that particular question, and focused on the earlier statements.

Initially, he had felt mildly irritated that someone had gone and drawn attention to him. If his own way of invisibility was hiding in plain sight, then someone pointing him out was technically their 'revealing' him. In a bizarre way (that made perfect sense to Daxton) it felt like being outsmarted, and he was quite sure he did not like it.

And yet the idea Blaise Bellaire had of 'cutting the lights'. Daxton knew what it meant and he had to admit it made him curious to think how everyone might react, and it certainly would serve to make them all invisible, in a very literal sense. After a moments consideration, he nodded his head. Of course, how they might do so was another matter entirely; Daxton could cast no spells to that effect, and there were no light switches at Hogwarts. Perhaps Blaise Bellaire had some sort of plan, or perhaps he was suggesting they go around extinguishing the torches on the walls.

Yoongi had been pleased to hear the his vampire idea had been Ministry worthy. Ah, he knew it was a good idea~ The Gryffindor kept thinking about it as he followed the rest of the class downstairs to the ground floor until they stood in front of a broom closet. He wanted them all to get in there? Yoongi raised an eyebrow and looked around him. Yeah, he did know that there were with a lot students and that this was just a small broom closet right?

But then the door opened and he was greeted with a space that was enough to hold everyone in it. Oh right , magic! He had nearly forgotten about that! That was bad wasn't it?.... Anyways, he listened to the task and then took out his phoenix wand. He held it above his head , said "Disillusio" and used the rope like wand movement the Professor had demonstrated upstairs.

It didn't feel like it had worked but when he looked down at his legs he noticed that he could see the ground through them. He was invisible if he stayed still but when he moved a leg he saw that the ground looked odd. Like he was a chameleon to his surroundings.

Entering the broom closet, the Gryffindor looked around for a good spot to hide. And he found a perfect spot. Right behind the door. He sneaked back to the broom closet door and slipped behind it.

He had taken them to... a broom closet. Creative man, this one was, shoving them all into a small little-- oh. As Sophie peeked inside, she was pleased that he had made the room bigger than normal. Well, GOOD, THEN. Perhaps he didn't want to pack all his students into the little closet like sardines.

It helped that he'd done this, though, and made it bigger. Otherwise... memories. Memories would've come flooding back, and though they still lingered in the back of her mind as a creeping chill of familiarity ran up her spine, Sophie ignored it in the change of circumstances and closet size.

This was fine. Yes. Totally fine.

They had to make themselves invisible, hide, and then find the other students? Simple enough, and it probably wasn't the end of the world if they got found - it wasn't one of those competitions where Sophie felt like she HAD TO WIN and HAD TO NOT BE FOUND. So, a bit nonchalantly, Sophie waved her wand over her head as if wrapping a rope around herself - which felt very silly, okay? - and cast, "Disillusio!" She had done magic similar to this before, so she was unsurprised when it did start to work on the first time... but not ALL of her was hidden yet, so she tried again, still waving her wand, "Disillusio! Disillusio!" There. That was better. No more Sophie Brown, and she looked up to see the others disappearing, too.

Excellent.

For her first act as an invisible person - without even giving it thought - Sophie ducked low to the ground, snuck over toward Dakest... and tapped one of his shoes then the other with her wand, attempting to nonverbally cast, Disillusio! It only worked one of the times, leaving the man with one invisible shoe, and... hehehehe. Unable to completely stifle her delighted giggles, Sophie SCURRIED AWAY.

She was just practicing, all right? Heheheh.

So this class was on the move. She got up and followed the class out of the door and to the broom closet?

Broom closet?

There was no way that the whole class was going to fit in that little broom closet. Unless, yes the professor had already ahead of time went and expanded the room. Which he did since they could easily move around in the room.

Alright, time to make herself invisible. She almost wanted to try this nonverbally. She had been practicing a lot on nonverbal spells lately. But this was one time that she wasn't going to try. She needed to make herself completely invisible, and she wasn't 100 percent sure that she could do it nonverbally and someone might see a part of her if she did.

So waving her wand and said "Disillusio! Disillusio!" Was she invisible? Okay she better try this out again. "Disillusio!". Okay,

Where did that cinnamon roll go?

More and more of his classmates were disappearing. Didn't they realise that some of them must do the finding too? Otherwise Dakest would end up with a totally invisible class. Hehe. Oh, but looooook! Someone was SUPER close to him. It was the new Ravie student, Davie.

Adi attempted to move out of the way a little but it was difficult given the brooms and the amount of students around him, it was difficult to do that. OOPS! He may have just jostled the brooms a tad. Instinctively, he reached out to steady them at the moment Davie's hand found his shoulder. AWH, MAN! And then the was visible again.

"Hiya!'' Adi grinned down at the Claw. "Good job finding me! Even better job at ending the Disillusionment Charm.'' He meant that. It was always nice to see the younger students succeeding at stuff. Oh, how about a high five, Davie? Don't leave him hanging with his hand up. It wasn't that high up so that the firstie couldn't meet it, by the way Hehe.

Very much visible again, the Hufflepuff bounded off to look for someone. He was keeping in mind all the things he could use to locate one of his friends. The sounds of breathing, shadows, noises they may make and so forth. Yes, he was going to use a Charm for this job as well.

Soon, Adi came up upon some shelves with some mops and broom scattered around. Perfect place for hiding, don't you think? He sure thought so! He stood still, listening attentively for sounds. Ehhh, it was all tooooo quite. "Finite!'' He random did the wand movement at a space. Nothing!

Let's try this again. This time Adi selected a spot closer to a corner wall. ''Finite!'' Oh yeah! Look! There WAS someone these! She was becoming visible again! "Heya, Hades.'' A cheery grin for the Snakette. "You were so quite that I think if I hadn't randomly cast the spell, I wouldn't have found you.'' That coupled with the fact that she had chosen a great spot to hide.

Okay clearly Janelle did not think things through. She was invisible, but she did not attempt to hide herself any further. That would explain why she was suddenly covered in glitter. She had been discovered by none other than the Hufflepuff prefect. "You got me", she said to the older girl. "How did you know I was here?" Was it a lucky guess or what? Oh well, now that her cover was blown, Janelle was free to go and hunt for her invisible classmates.



Janelle was not sure of the best way to go about this task. Should she randomly cast her spell or feel her way around the broom closet? She began to think where the best place to hide might be. That would be the first place that she looked. Deciding to look behind the stack of brooms, she headed in that direction. She hadn't gotten very far when she bumped into someone, an invisible someone. Taking out her wand, Janelle made a shield movement and said, "Finite". "Come out, come out whoever you are", she thought.

Noelle followed the future husband to the closet. Oh! Tight spaces! Noelle liked this idea!

However, when they all got into the broom closet, Noelle realized that they could all fit in here easily. Darn... And here she thought she could be close to Professor McDreamy! Shrugging, at least they would be doing the disillusion charm.

Noelle started seeing people disappear around her. She giggled and pulled her wand from her holster. She looked around for Sabbie to see where he was. She didn't see him yet and it was dark.

Noelle needed to concentrate though. She was new at doing spells and this one seemed to be one that might become very useful to her. She had taken notes but because Professor Future Husband was so distracting, she hadn't looked up to take the proper notes, that she could have.

Hmm... She needed an older student. She needed... Her hero. Looking for Cinna, she knew that she hadn't been too far away from her. Noelle knew that Professor Hottness had said you could use your senses to find people.

Noelle looked at where Cinna had disappeared from. She didn't see anything. Taking her wand, she started poking the air around her and taking a few steps to poke some more.

Come on Cinna where are you?
