Entrance Hall
 

For Ashley!Junia
 

Boys were strange creatures, did they know? Junia had noticed as much in her twelve years of life and was thinking of writing a book on the subject. This, of course, meant dictating her thoughts to someone else who would write them out because she didn't have time for such things. Like this-this strange dancing going on right in front of her. It would make for an interesting anecdote, she'd decided.

"I've heard male peacocks dance to get the attention of female peacocks. Is that what you're doing, trying to impress girls?" It wasn't really working so far, but she was curious to learn his motives all the same.

postys for anyones
 

Tippins had to cleans yes, Tippings grabs dusty feather things. Times to dust the points pretty things. yes dustings.

Matt continued with his dance and humming for a while untiiillll someone spoke to him. He turned to see who it was and, while he stopped humming, he kept going with his moves.

"Does it look like I'm trying to impress girlsss?" He said, making a show of looking around to make a point: there was no one there but him, hellooooo! "Anddd if I wanted to impress girls, I wouldn't be dancing, I'd be doing much more FUN and DANGEROUS things that most people wouldn't do." Because THOSE things were impressive, not some ollllld dancing, Matt knew. Before he continued, he LEAPED and span around, now having his back towards the girl. "Dancing is FUN, but not dangerous. Unless you're dancing with dragons. Now THAT would be impressive, don't you agree??" He added, spinning around again to give her an eyebrow wiggle and grin.

MATT agreed!

Tippin too! <3
 

Junia stepped quickly out of the way of the dancing boy, noting he didn't seem particularly concerned with who or what he might be dancing into. In her haste, she didn't even see the house elf nearby and accidentally bumped right into them. "I'm sorry," She offered, gaze falling on the creature briefly before returning to the boy. "You'd think he'd be the one causing collisions."

As for dancing with dragons, the second year raised her eyebrows. "I don't think I'd want to date a boy who's just asking to be eaten by a dragon. Be a bit of a pointless relationship, what with the probable untimely death of said boy." Duh. Not very impressive at all.

Tippins bumped.... "achy" Tippins squished.

"'Elps" Tippins on the grounds... so much dusty doens heres.

Bads Tippins. "bad elfs, bad bad baaaaddddd" hits head with duster things he does.

*GIGGLE*

"CORNISH PIXIES, ANYONE?'' The castle occupants had no choice. Miffy was still on revenge mode. Another *GIGGLE* and the door to the cage she had snatched just now burst open.

Miffy dropped the cage. "OOHOHOHOH NOOOOOOOO! PIXIES ON THE LOOSE! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLP!''

Those pixies wasted no time looking for mischief. Some of them already shot off for different parts of the castle.

*GIGGLE*

anyone?
 

The first victim was in for it! The pixie closest to the girl giggled after dodging any spells. It stuck out it's tongue cheekily. The pixie danced around her head. It wanted to make her turn round and round too to make the girl dizzy.

Another one of its mates took advantage of the moment to fly in closer. It too was giggling. Pixie number two grabbed handfuls of the girl's hair again. It TUUUUGGGGED.

EEEEEHEHEE!

ouch!!!

GET OUT OF THE HAIR!! She was not happy, not only did it hurt, but it was going to make it a full mess. UGH, she hated Pixies. Pulling her wand and pointing where she hoped they were "Stupefy..... Stupefy" Did she get any? Why were they picking on her? Wasn't there any other students around to annoy? Maybe a few first years or something. She figured if this wasn't a prank that maybe it was a first year that accidentally let them loose. So help her if she found it was that Tim kid. They were making her twirl, she didn't even like dancing all that much and now she was twirling for a pixie, Natalia didn't think so.

Moving around and swatting her wandless hand around she try to get them out anyway she could. What were they even doing out. She'd look around for the prankster if she could see, the pulling was causing her eyes to blur. Walking forward and then sideways she tried to rid her hair of the pest, but with more around she was afraid she'd attract friends.

"Stupefy"

Little things were tough! WHERE WAS HELP!! PROFESSORS!!!

Junia + pixies xD + a little mention of Nat too!
 

All the craziness
 

This is why Junia didn't love creatures. Boy creatures and elf creatures and pixie creatures, too. They were crazy, the lot of them!

It's not awesome, it's chaos!" She squeaked, borrowing the house elf's duster thing to swat at any pixies coming her way. There was no way they were getting close to her beautiful hair and from the looks of it, the older girl didn't know how to prevent such things from happening.

But maybe...

"A good elf could help us clean up these Cornish pixies!" House elves were always around, listening and cleaning. Maybe this one knew how to stop them! Speaking of, she swung the duster again, nearly knocking out the Gryffindor boy in the process. Whoops. "Any ideas?!"

Tippins hurts he is Tippin looks ups ”whos ‘at” Tippin points (Miffy) ”whats you doin’” Tippins didn’t likes this

Tippins stands knee still ouchy,

”Pixies!!!! Little creatures” theys weres everywhers ”bad pixies bad” Tippins yells.

Pikies goes over to little mistress (Bazinga) ”Miss okay? Shoooo Pikies”

”YOU DO NOTS HARMS MASTERSSSS” Tippins dis not likes creaturs hurtings masters no he did not.

Tippin doesn want more masters gettings hurts (Hey Ju and TakemetotheBurrow)

”Tippins will helps watch outs” He sees mistress almost hits lil masters

Tippins snaps his fingers

*SNAP*

He hopes that’s he stopped the pixies, Tippin helps the mastersss.

The pixie that was pulling the girl's hair (Nat) was hit by a spell. It tumbled to the ground. The other one waved its fist in anger at her. It zoomed up. It grabbed an ear with both tiny hands and YANKEEEEEEEED. Serve her right for messing with their fun!

EHEHEHEHEHEHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Fairies that hadn't departed for other parts of the Castle rushed into joining the fun. They twittered around the boy and girl (Matt and Junia). They made grabby hands at their clothing and skin.

A few did try to mess with the House elf (Tippin) by going for his ears but the elf did some of its magic and suddenly they were paralyzed. Frozen was a better word.

For Carl
 

Tippins wishes hes was in the kitches yes cookings and making things for masters. More Studenties shows up nows (Devina Wellheart) Tippin sees everyones helps.

Tippin wiwhes he was like Professors, give points to studenties that helps. Tippins will gives treats to these yes

”Tippins thinks its k nows.”

Pixies creatures frozen, Tippins snaps fingers again *SNAP* big cages appears it does.

”Helps Tippins puts in cage?” Tippin starrrs at little master and big mistressss.

Tippin bows to Mistress (Bazinga) ”lot kind save me so thanks” Tippin sees she was helpsings little masters jumps with little creatures why? (Hey Ju)

”Tippin puts them some place safe, Professor of animals ?” Good Tinks Tippins.

Miranda had about lost hope of any kind of help when Tippins the house elf popped into view. Oh she sure did hope he was about to help and sure enough as he spoke he answered her question before ever it left her mouth....

" Oh Well, Done... You've done it... " She exclaimed as he made a great cage appear for the confinement of the immobilized Pixies..

" OH, Tippins!.. that was brilliant! " Miranda said as she grabbed the pixies and started stuffing their plump little boddies into the cage as the others worked on gathering them up... " Thanks... We needed a bit of help and you were just in timer.." She said as she beamed at the little elf.

Nothing was affecting this boy (Matt) NOTHING! It was driving the fairies crazy. They wanted to cause pain and misery for their amusement not having the boy laugh. They gave up on him. They would focus on the other students and the elf.

EHEHEHEEEEE!

That glee lasted only for a short while. They were still being stunned and frozen. Half a dozen of the pixies either fell to the floor or hovered in the air. The others rushed about shrieking in high pitched voices at the girls (Nat & Miranda) and Tippin. They hated seeing their fellows being stuffed into cages.

Matt and whoever wants to play!
 

Elsa walked into the Entrance Hall, her eyes cast down, concentrating on her sketch pad - giving the finishing touches to her latest drawing. Her ears were muffled by a useful spell her mother taught her over the summer that allowed her to listen to music without having to carry around one of those muggle devices.

She did not notice the commotion happening, she did not hear it either. She was blissfully clueless until she kicked something hard with her left foot and exclaimed "Oh!" at the same time she tripped over a boy that was kneeling on the floor.

She went head first, her sketchbook flying out of her hand, and the spell broken.

"What on Merlin's name is happening !?" she exclaimed completely gobsmacked, a hand to her forehead rubbing the sore spot, as her eyes darted left and right following the pixies that seemed to be flying everywhere causing mayhem. Her eyes fell to the why she had fallen and saw that the boy - a Gryffindor - was poking the pixies. Oh for the love of.. "Stop that! Leave them be!" she said kneeling next to him giving his poking hand a slap.

Her eyes continued absorbing what was happening around them, there were a few people in the Hall. There was a girl shooting stunning spells and an Elf as well.

Everyone ^_^
 

Talk about chaos. Junebug was highly unimpressed, honestly. Particularly with the dancing boy who was now poking the pixies and being absolutely no help whatsoever and okay, she didn't really have to help either, but she didn't want to get her hair pulled out. Her precious hair. That was enough to get her moving.

"You aren't meant to be poking them, you're meant to be putting them in the cage. Hurry up already!" She showcased the two she was holding and carefully set them inside before closing the door and going back for more. She had to jump to reach one of the ones suspended in the air and she couldn't help but think they were quite interesting looking-pixies. Too bad they were so unruly. Like Gryffindors of the creature world.

"Freeze the last of them," She squeaked as she noted those that were moving seemed to be getting even more angry. Probably because their friends were, well, out of commission for the moment. "Before they do anymore damage!" Also, she quite liked barking orders. She was good at it. Maybe she'd pursue a job that let her bark orders professionally! Dream big, Junia.

Carl hurried to the Entrance Hall after dropping his bag off at his dorm. His mind was still filled with the things he had learned in Ancient Runes. That was, until he saw what was going on in the Hall. There were pixies everywhere! He quickly spotted Miranda and made his way to her, dodging more pixie attacks.

"Miranda!" He said, stopping some feet away from her. He turned his attention as an older Slytherin told them to freeze the pixies. Pulling his wand out and swatting a pixie away, he pointed his wand at it and said, "Immobulus!"

POKED! They were being poked by that kid (Matt). They were slowly coming back to themselves as some of the spells cast at them had not been strong enough. The first set that revived happened to be the ones that Matt had singled out. With a HISSSSSS they sprang up. Some zoomed under the sleeves of his shirt. TICKLETICKLETICKLEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! his skin.

Even the girl who had saved them from Matt (Elsa) was not spared. Two faires grabbed the edge of her clothing so that they were able to tugtugtugtugtuggggg! The same was done with the younger girl (Junia).

This older girl (Nat) would be their downfall. She mostly seem to know what she was doing. Her spells had not been broken unlike some of the others. One of the fairies zoomed about her. It suddenly flew to land ON HER HEAD. It giggled EHEHEHEHEEEEE. The pixie grabbed a tiny fistful of hair. PUUUUUULLLLLLLL!

More fairies were coming to. The girl that had frozen them (Miranda) received a sound bite on the hand from one of them. The fresh meat (Carl) got two fairies landing on his head as they aimed to distract him from freezing them.

*joins* Everyone! Specifically mentioning Carl and Elsa. Hi! :3
 

After his quick visit to the library, Jace walked all the way down from the fourth floor to the entrance hall with the perfect plan to spend his free time in one of Professor Myers’ pods. He found the place to be cozy, quiet, and simply relaxing. It was exactly what he needed to quiet his mind after all the—

...

!!!

The Ravenclaw stopped dead in his tracks as he took everything in slowly. Cornish...Pixies? And...is that Matt and...Elsa? Jace’s eyes almost popped out of its sockets as he witnessed the chaos before him. Why would there be Pixies at the Entrance Hall? Who smuggled them in? There was no sign of Professor Hernandez...or any of the professors...and not even a single prefect?!

Brown eyes saw the open cage, and immediately figured out what they’re trying to do. Without really thinking things over, Jace quickly ran to their rescue and punched on the two fairies that landed on Carl’s head. He didn’t want to point his wand at the poor boy, and pray for the best. Right now, he cannot afford to immobilise one of his fellow students. “Quickly, aim at one of the fairies!” Err...what is the boy’s name again?

“Elsa!” Holy Merlin...this is chaos! Getting his wand out of his sleeve, Jace brushed his wand hard on one of the pixies like flicking off peas with a chopstick on his dinner plate and pointed his wand on the other, determined to have it frozen for a long time. “Immobulus!” Zing.

Now, let’s see how credible those wand makers are at Ollivander’s. Just...how strong is this half-Japanese boy’s cherry wand, hm?

Everyone!
 

" Carl.. Watch out!" Miranda called out as she saw him coming towards her.. " they'[re all over the place!" Miranda was about frazzled at the whole situation. Her wand whipping back and forth side to front , up, and back again as she tried stunning and petrifying them to near futility...

The pixies dodging her spells and charms with relative ease was really getting her irritated. Normally she was pretty good at these things... though she had never had to face so many pixies before either... Afterall there were only ten pixies in last term's Charms challenge.

Randa slowly made her way over to where Carl was and looked to see how Nat was fairing... Her situation at the moment didn't look much better than her own which was kinda comforting in a way...
" Let's team up on them, Guys! " calling to everyone in the hall.






" Owww..ch! Why you ruddy little pixies.... I'll get you before long"shaking her bitten hand and rubbing it on her robes. " that's it , YOU..." Miranda yells as she points her wand at the culprit and confidently says with a flick of her wrist, " PetrificusTotalis! "Hoping to stop it with a thud on the floor....

Nananananuh! The pixies were hopping from place to place. They zigged this way, zagged that way. For some parts the maneuvers worked but the humans rank swelled when a medium sized human decided to cramp the pixie's style.

One pixie dodged his (Jace) spell. It stuck its tongue out at him and made a raspberry. A pixie behind it was not so lucky. The spell froze it. PIXIE DOWN! This was cause for a small group to rush Jace. PULL HIS HAIR! BITE HIS HAND!

The culprit pixie fell over as he got caught by the curse sent by the girl (Miranda). Two more of its fellows swarmed her. ATTAAAAAAACK! PULL HER CLOTHES! PULL HER EARS!

Jace, Junia and pixies!
 

This was insane and completely out of hand. Shouldn't there be a teacher somewhere helping contain this situation?

Elsa's eyes focused on the nearly empty cage - except for a couple of stupefied pixies - at the same time a girl she did not know (Junia) came to her aid with the whole don't-poke-the-pixies situation and told her they should be trying to use the immobilus spell on the darn things. Of course, how could not have remembered that, they learned that last year!

But before Elsa could even drawn her wand from her robes, the little pixies were coming back to life with hectic laughter. A couple grabbed the hem of her robes and were tugging her down, making it hard for her to reach into her pocket.

She heard her name being called over the confusion by a familiar voice: "Jace!!" she called back as her head snapped in his direction.

He flicked the pixies off of her and she sighed in relief at him "Thank you!" there was no time for a chat, this was a battlefield - sort of. Following his example she pointed her wand at some of the pixies and exclaimed "IMMOBULUS" watching with a grin as her spell worked it's charm then she heard hysterical laughter coming from where she had been just a few minutes, from the boy who had been kneeling on the floor, she re-aimed her want and... let her arm drop. She couldn't see the pixies, just the contorting boy on the floor, laughing so hard his was getting red in the face. How Gryffindor or him, Elsa thought.


"Shake them off!!" she exclaimed in shock when she understood that the pixies were inside his clothes. She bit her lip, diving in for his left arm and grabbed it near his shoulder with both her hands, sort of squeezing the pixies out of his sleeves. It sure wasn't pleasant, but she hoped it was effective.

"Get off!" Her precious clothes were being tugged and Junia was quickly crossing the bridge from annoyed to angry. Why wouldn't they just GO already? She swatted as best she could, duster still on hand from before. She'd be needing to return it eventually, but for now it was her only source of protection. That, and well, her wand. She was a bit hesitant to use that, though. She might miss and hit a classmate.

Eyes on the Gryffindor crazy boy rolling around, she decided that actually, maybe it wouldn't be so bad if she did hit a classmate with a spell...

They needed a better plan and running was looking more and more appealing.

*joins in* mentions Matt and Natalia but really everyone.
 

Laurel was hungry. Lesson planning and research had awakened her appetite and thus she headed down the many stairs from the Divination Tower towards the Great Hall. Maybe she was in luck and could get accompanied by one of her staff colleagues for dinner. It was more fun to eat together with someone than alone.

The blond Divination Professor's thoughts of food were however interrupted when she stumbled into the mayhem caused by a horde of pixies. Raising one hand to her locks and the other went to her wand as she took in the scene of mayhem.

"IMMOBULUS! STUPEFY!" Laurel cast towards the pixies attacking the students heads and limbs hoping she didn't accidentally hit a student. Eyes going to the lion (Matt) rolling around on the floor laughing his head off. "Immobulus maxima!" she cast towards the pixies tickling the poor boy. Raising her voice she called out, eyes glancing around and stopping on a girl in snake robes (Natalia). "Are you all right? Is everyone okay?" the last was directed to literally everyone.

The half Japanese boy who has nine years of intense Kendo training under his belt kept his focus intact amid the blowing of raspberries at him. It would take an immense number of pixies to actually annoy this kid, so the mischievous antic was easily brushed aside.

Determined to round up every bit of the pixies into the cage, Jace didn’t spare a second and went on to collect the annoying creature he successfully immobilised and placed it inside the open cage. “Anytime!” the Ravenclaw called out to Elsa as he raised his wand again to freeze one of the small pixies coming his way.

The half Japanese stood still and waited for the pixies to come closer to him. As soon as they were close enough, Jace swiftly dodged and side-stepped and aimed at the creature from the side. “This is just like Kendo practise...” he muttered in Japanese as he raised his wand and pointed at the pesky pixies. “IMMOBULUS!”

Zing!

Spells were flying left right and center. The pixies were going down one by one. The bigger human (Laurel) that had joined them spell work was rather strong. Nat's was too. Those two and the others throwing spells were starting to over power them all. The one on Nat's head was suddenly frozen. It's body was still and unmoving on her head. Others fell to the ground due to the Stunning spells. Some floated helplessly around.

Some of the uaffected (a small amount left) pixies tried to grab Elsa's, Jace's, Nat's, Laurel's and any others in sight while the ones attacking Matt and Junia continued with their fun.

EEEEEHEHEE!

They humans couldn't get rid of them all so easily!

With the spell was cast by the oldest human student, the last of the pixies suddenly stopped in mid air. One or two were lucky to escape as they shot off for other parts of the castle to wreck more havoc.

The immobolised pixies floated around. They silently and mentally shrieked and shook their fists at Nat and the other students. They wanted more fuuuuun! They wanted chaoooooos! Instead they were now awaiting their fates. They were most likely going to be locked into wretched cages again.

These pixies did not give up did they. After trying to help Matt, Elsa worked her way through Immobulus spell after the other trying to get rid of the nasty things, but they kept pulling and laughing and causing caos until... the Divination's Professor appeared and shortly after an older student (Victoria) that cast the most effective and powerful Immobulus spell until that moment, freezing definitely the remaining pixies, leaving them floating as if they were in space, tinny fists bobbing up and down in anger.

Elsa pulled the hair from her face seeing as it had been pulled and tugged out of her neat braid. "That was pretty amazing!" she said with excitement to the same older student that cast the Immobulus Maxima spell.

She, that had retracted to where the Divination's professor stood, took a few steps forward and, glancing back at them asked "Any idea how they got loose?" she grabbed a few by their wings and placed them gently inside the open cage that was on the floor, careful not to hurt them. Evil little creatures or not she still loved all living things.

everyone <3
 

Once the attack was over, all Junia could really do was blink, hand absently moving to her hair to smooth it down. Her head hurt in places where the pixies had tugged her brown locks and she was sure she'd be getting a headache after this incident. Seriously, pixies were infuriating.

"Bit sore, professor." At least her clothes hadn't been torn. Bright side, maybe? As for how they got loose, well..."That boy was doing some strange dance and he nearly knocked me down, only I moved out of the way and hit the house elf on accident and then, well, that ghost that's always with Peeves did it!" Yes, her. The one that was always giggling. Normally it was a pleasant sound but not when she did it, that was for sure.

The second year took a moment and then gingerly started grabbing pixies and placing them in the cage, a look of disgust on her face. This was not her favorite day.

Everyone......
 

Before Laurel had a chance to cast another stunner she was attacked by a swarm of pixies that went for her hair. Fending them off with waving her arms and shooting spells. Her combined efforts with the oldest student (Natalia) seemed to be bringing the majority of the pixies to the floor frozen. Shooting the Slytherin an encouraging smile Laurel said "Good work Ms? I'm glad you are all right. Pixies are annoying creatures and their only mission sadly is to cause as much mischief as possible." She really disliked them.

Before Laurel could suggest it herself the oldest student (Natalia) suggested that the younger students should get behind them for protection and for combining efforts so they could finally rid the hall of pixies. "IMMOBULUS MAXIMA" Laurel cast again and noted with relief that the one or two pixies that didn't get stunned or frozen actually shot off.

Pocketing her wand the blond professor started to grab frozen pixies by their wings and putting them into the open cage on the floor. Looking over at a younger girl (Elsa) when she asked a question Laurel shrugged in response. "Your guess is as good as mine but someone unleashed them from their cages." She'd scry later for a who.

Casting her gaze to another green robed clad girl (Junia) that made an interesting comment Laurel said "Your soreness will go away with time if it doesn't i recommend you to see the healer. Did you really see Peeves's girl what's her name...Miffy unleash the pixies?" If she had then they knew who had done it. Another way for the poltergesit to show her love no doubt.

Jace didn't feel sore or anything of that sort. His arm workout during his Kendo practise did pay off somehow seeing that he had to cast the freezing charm in rapid succession. Looking at the positive side, he felt comfortable with the charm now that he'd cast it simultaneously. Experience is the best teacher, right?

His once neatly combed hair now spiked in all directions, Jace immediately tucked his wand back in his arm holster and rushed to Matt's side. "Matt! Matt...are you hurt?" Everyone else seems to be fine, except for the Gryffindor. The Ravenclaw was too preoccupied with his friend that he didn't notice the scratches on the back of his hand.

Looking up to where the professor was, Jace watched as Professor Vance began her investigation.

Wait what...Miffy?

Again?

Click!

Click

Two barely audible sounds fill the air before it goes silent again.

It isn't until you try opening the entrance doors that you notice that they are jammed in place. Seems like no one is able to enter the castle - or leave.

Umm.. What? Alice happened to be walking by when she barely heard the click and tried to open the door. It wouldn't budge. "Nooooo"

She didn't want to be stuck inside. She'd heard a story from a guy who worked for her brother about being snowed in one year. It sounded like the worst thing possible. It wasn't even snow.. just a stupid lock.. Merlin. Someone needed to fix this.. like now.

"Yes! There was a weird noise and it won't budge!" She said trying to budge the door again, to no avail.

It didn't feel locked but it sounded like a lock... Maybe it was a spell, like someone locking it from the outside! But who would even do that? And why?

"I don't know what's going on.. We should find a professor." The lioness was thinking out loud at this point. "I wonder if the passages are still open?" Though why shut the door and not the other exits? It had better open by christmas.. She wanted to go home.

Azura frowned a bit as she heard the other girl speak. "A weird noise? So like someone used a spell to lock it?" She asked curiously as she looked at the other girl and then at the door.

"Huh, well let's try to open it with a spell first before we go and get the Profrssors? " She suggested as she pulled out her wand.

"I'm Azura by the way, I don't think we've met. " She said with a smile as she held her wandleas hand out to shake the Gryffindor girls.

"It was almost like a clicking.. but i'm not sure it was the lock." Because she'd never heard these doors lock before. Who had really? Besides shouldn't someone have the keys?

"If you want to, be my guest." Alice knew her magic needed work, she also figured that if someone wanted it shut, simple magic a couple of third years could do wouldn't change anything most likely. But she wouldn't stop someone else from doing something.

"Right, i'm Alice. Nice to meet you Azura." She shook the girl's hand and looked back at the door.

Well huh..a clicking sound but she wasn't sure it was the lock? Az tried the door once more, attempting to see if it was locked or just jammed shut somehow..but really she couldn't tell. "I just can't tell if it's the lock or not. " She said in a soft voice.

She was attempting to Ravenclaw her way out of this, but she wasn't sure it was possible. And now she doubted her unlocking spell would work. But she had to try at least!

"It's nice to meet you Alice. I'm gonna give this a try. " She said as she turned back to the door and aimed her wand at it..

"Alohomora!" She said with the Proper arm movement. If this didn't work, it meant it was sealed by magic and they needed a Professor.

*crashes your rp*
 

Alice remained quiet for the most point. "Nice to meet you too." She nodded and pulled out her own wand, ready to protect herself in case it was magic and maybe had a counter curse.

The idea of being stuck in here was making her feel very anxious.

Was Diaval inside? She knew her window was open and hopefully none of her dormmates shut it.

Then Liv showed up. "The door is stuck.. it just happened. There was a weird noise. I think we need a professor." She sighed and looked back at her fellow lioness.

You two
 

Trying to juggle the doors open proves to be as useless as shooting spells at them; the Alohomora bounces off harmlessly into the empty air. The doors remain just as jammed as ever.

Peering at Alice for a moment, Olivia frowned.

... And then she nodded at Azula, because yes, she knew the girl's name, but the blonde's Last Airbender roots went deep. So, in her own mind, she'd rechristened the Ravenclaw PRINCESS AZULA OF THE FIRE NATION. That was okay, though, because she wasn't sharing that information aloud. So, see? No one needed to be any the wiser.

....

"What if people are locked outside?" It was a stray thought, but one that suddenly flashed through the Gryffindor's mind like a lightning bolt. Yea, she loved being outside, but the danger of not being able to come back in was... Well, scary.

THE FOOD WAS INSIDE. :whaa:

"Professor Hirsch is who'd I'd feel most comfortable summoning." Ah, there was always a splash of her dramatics in everything she said and did. Oops. "....Unless you'd rather we just get the Headmaster." This seemed... not severe enough for Headmaster intervention, though.

Kimi was glad that classes were over for the day and he was wanting to go outside for some fresh air but he saw that there was a group of students who were standing by the double doors out to the grounds but when he saw what was going on he was confused and said "When did the doors seemingly lock all by themselves*

everyone
 

Alice shrugged and looked between the girls. "That's what i was thinking.. There's no way everyone is inside at this moment.. what about the groundskeeper? Does he even live inside?" Alice didn't think so..

She looked at Liv. "I don't really care who we summon. But it's obvious this isn't for us to figure out." It had to be magic though because doors don't just jam shut for no reason.. And after all Hogwarts was a magical place were insanely magical things happened.

Then a boy walked up..Younger, Alice didn't know him. "A few minutes ago.."

None of them had noticed Miffy so far but that was good. Let them all wonder what happened. Miffy found it hilarious that her prank had trapped so many of them. She did a loop-the-loop then two then three.

*GIGGLE GIGGLE*

"Try as you might kiddies! Those doors won't open so easily!''

Miffy was having the time of her life. Chaos! SHE LOVED IT! Hogwarts deserved it! They deserved it for not wanting to get her married to her Peevsiepoo!

Kimi nodded at the Gryffindor who told him the answer to his question and then he saw the poltergeist and wondered whether it was behind the whole reason that the doors were jammed

Kimi said "Surely we must try to find somebody to reason with the ghosts cause i feel they may behind this whole episode of locking doors"

Azura and everyone else
 

First there the whole pixies incident, now the doors won't open? Hogwarts as always, exciting. After dusting herself off of some of the dirt, Elsa walked towards the doors where a little commotion was happening.

Elsa spotted Azura, a couple of girls and a boy were trying their luck with the great double doors, but nothing seemed to be working. "Always something going on around here. Now that I was hopping to get some fresh air.." she commented as she stood next to her friend Azura a gave her a little nudge on the elbow with her own, smiling at her.

"The Divination's professor was here just now, helping with the pixies incident, she can't be far. Should we fetch her?" she suggested, giving the door her own little shove.

Oh Merlin, that certainly did explain things. Miffy...her voice floated down toward them as she seemed to be hovering near the ceiling. "You little trouble maker!" Elsa said, waving her finger at the poltergeist. She didn't mind the ghost a bit, but her pranks were somewhat of a nuisance at times like this. But they could always try and ask her nicely "Miffy, would you mind opening the doors? I really fancied going outside for a bit."

EVERYONE! Hai.
 

All You People
 

More loop-the-loops came from Miffy. She was enjoying this all too much! She cackled! She giggled! She ignored the students being polite to her. "SHAN'T! SHAN'T! SHAN'T!'' Miffy chanted at the top of her lungs. "SHAN'T OPEN THE DOOR!''

She was enjoying the struggle of the students. "Pranks are fuuuuuuuuuuuun! Why should Peevesiepoo and I stop making them?'' *CACKLE*

"Tea? I once loved tea.'' Miffy giggled. She flipped upside down to look at the girl. "Does it involve pranks? Or my Peevesiepoo? If it does I'm ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL ears!''

Miffy is fun. WE LIKE HER!
 

Well, Olivia obviously wasn't going to be the one seeking out a professor. No, no... She was clearly handling the diplomacy of this exchange with their resident poltergal. Like any royal should. Hehe, the princess complex was strong with this one, okay? We'd apologize but it was just so fundamental and ingrained into her personality at this point that it really couldn't be helped.

"Does your dearly beloved also enjoy tea, Miffy?" Beware, the dramatic slang was making an appearance. It was all very Gone With the Wind on a Sunday. "Oh, I know! We could make it a truly grand affair, and sit down to properly discuss pranking... I'm such a fan of your recent work." The pink robes... While her peers had thought them annoying and despicable, Liv had never felt so fabulous before. At school, that is. This also could've been because of the hours of bedazzling she'd performed. Shine bright like a DIAMOND...

Anyone!
 

The Grey Lady was agitated and worried. There was something... wrong. Something very wrong and different and she didn't like it. The energy of the castle didn't feel right and it didn't bode well with her. Not even a trip to the library was helping her find any sort of solace with the current predicament.

The usually elegant ghost was drifting back and forth along a side of the Hall, her hands wringing themselves instead of sitting on her lap. She couldn't have been the only one to notice these... changes. Someone else had to have picked up on this and knew what it meant. She was looking for answers and she was going to get them from the first ghostly, or otherwise, companion to float through any of the doors or staircases. It was decided.

Something was amiss to the Baron. But of what? His ghostly chains could sense it from the increasing rattling outside of the dungeons as he headed toward the Hall.

The sight of the Lady ghost had this gloomy ghost drifting over toward her. Clearly something was troubling her. A sight he could never bare to endure."Lady Helena.." Perhaps she sensed something else too? "Are you sensing certain things as well?"

*eavesdropping*
 

The final stretch of the term was the most taxing to most students, especially to one Jacen Reed. The looming exams, practicals, and everything in between had been crunched into a short period of time and Jace had to keep his head above water to prevent himself from a breakdown. And what was the best thing to do to prevent a meltdown? A nap; a nice, quiet nap beside the landing of the entrance hall.

Jace was sat on the floor, his eyes closed shut as he subconsciously drifted into sleep, with his Divination book wide open on his lap. He’d been up all night cramming certain information that he’d put at the back of his head. He’d been distracted with Kendo training, and procrastination got the best of him.

The shallow slumber was disturbed when he heard excessive rattling of chains. Jace jolted back to reality, looked around, and heard the Baron’s voice travel across the hall. Jace took a peek and saw that Lady Helena was there as well. The Ravenclaw decided not to interrupt and just went on to force himself study Divination. It was kind of hard to concentrate however, given that the Baron’s tone was laced with worry.

They are sensing…exactly what?

Lady Helena remained oblivious to the young Eagle's presence. She needed a ghostly counterpart and she doubted whether the boy could sense the energy change within the castle. No offence meant, Mister Reed.

Someone who could and was pearly white was the Baron. For the first time, she was glad to see him and his chains rattling into the Hall and towards her. "Baron," she started, as a greeting, "Yes, I am. Something in this sacred castle of ours doesn't feel right. I wish I could know what it is but it feels like something is here!"

"I assume you sense it too?"
