| | |  Weasley Swamp
 The legendary portable swamp created by Fred and George Weasley was once large enough to consume the entire fifth-floor corridor. Needless to say, this greatly irritated the notorious Dolores Umbridge when there were no instructions on how to remove it and the then teachers didn't seem to mind that it was there. Today a small section of the swamp remains, roped off in tribute of the redheaded twins' historic act of protest.
When you are getting close to this reserved section of the corridor, you will know without question. The remaining swamp still smells like an authentic swamp, look like an authentic swamp, bubbles like an authentic swamp, and will indeed suck you in if you cross over the rope and step in it. Avoid the Weasley swamp with care is the best advice you should heed while on the fifth floor, especially if you're running late to class. While it must have been an impressive and humorous sight back in the mid-90's, just praise Merlin that you don't have to make your way across today.

The morning jogs were getting easier, it had to be said. It wasn't that Józef had ever struggled with them, per se - no, he could run around the pitch in no time at all. It was the rest of the day that he struggled with, having zapped his energy so early in the day. He didn't want to admit that they were having a positive impact, so he decided that it was all of his own doing.
Obviously.
So today, energy was present in abundance! And he was searching the Castle for more things to do. He'd SEEN the swamp before, on his way to lessons, but now he was here in his FREE time, and could explore it.
First, by hopping over the rope that cordoned it off.
He only hoped it was just the rope, and not a charm, too.

He only hoped it was just the rope, and not a charm, too. While roaming the halls, and out looking for some fun, he spotted a young Gryffindor hopping over the swamp rope. He hovered just behind the youngster and started pelting spitballs at his head. "STUDENT IN THE SWAMP! STUDENT IN THE SWAMP!" he yelled in an attempt to attract as much attention as possible and get the little one in trouble.

He had a rare free period and rather than spending it hidden in his bed with some books, Max decided to venture out. He hadn’t officially checked out the Prefect’s Bathroom yet and today was the day. It was one of the better perks of wearing this new badge and he wanted to make the most of it. Baths were GREAT…. and he’d heard rumours that this particular bath was practically the size of a pool.
Just as he rounded the corner into the Fifth-Floor corridor though, he heard the yelling. Peeves. That couldn't bode well.
He should’ve stayed in his bed.
Was it too late to turn around and pretend he hadn’t seen anything? Probably. Ughhh.
He marched his way over, careful not to get too close because ewww swamp water and ewwwww spitballs.
“What are you doing?” He addressed the misbehaving kid with a frown. This was wasting precious bath time. “There’s a rope there for a reason, you’re meant to stay on this side of it.”

Ohhhh! Another student! Peeves started pelting more spitballs at the new arrival. "Pretty, pretty prefect come to stop the naughty student?" He spun around and pelted both of the boys with even more spitballs before zooming over the center of the swamp and diving back end first in a perfect cannonball into the middle of the swamp, sending smelly swampy goo splattering in all directions.
After splashing around a bit more, he bolted back towards the ceiling and shook off the remaining swamp water, sending it raining down on the boys. "Looks like the both of you are out of proper, tidy uniform now."
"STUDENT IN THE SWAMP!" He bellowed once again, hoping to attract more attention.

Fascinated though he was by the swamp, Jó hadn't bothered to do any research on it and its reasons for being. For all he knew, it was just PART OF THE CASTLE and the strict Headmaster had roped it off as part of his new rules. Even if Józef hadn't experience Hogwarts before this year, from eavesdropping overhearing older students conversations, to the things his cousins had told him, this seemed exactly like something the new guy would do.
He was about to take his first tentative step into the mud when something hit the back of his head. Clamping a hand to the spot as more things started hitting him, it was as Józef turned to see WHAT they were that the poltergeist started yelling.
EYEROLL.
HONESTLY. "Snitch," he managed with a snarl that was part annoyance at the shouting and part disgust at the realisation that he'd been hit with spitballs. GROSS. His scowl only deepened when the prefect rounded the corner - a clear downgrade from the last Slytherin prefect and started LECTURING HIM. He wasn't STUPID, he knew what the rope meant.
He just didn't care. And he was about to say as much when Peeves was cannonballing into the muddy waters and....
Jó was soaked. Dripping with swamp.

“Wha——? Cut it out and go away!!” Max growled angrily at the poltergeist, trying his hardest but ultimately failing miserably to dodge the spitballs that were pelted in his direction too. And as if that wasn’t bad enough, manky, stinky swamp water was added to the mix. It was on his robes… it was in his precious hair.
Thankfully, he wasn’t as soaked as the Gryffindor kid who was still the wrong side of the rope but STILL. He was a clean freak and so this was a nightmare.
Gross gross gross.
“I know you.” He huffed irritably, turning back to the Gryffindor with an even bigger frown. It might've been effective if his face wasn't splattered with brown swamp goo. And.... well... he didn’t know him. Not REALLY. But kind of. “You were in the Prefect’s compartment on the train here. Who’s badge did you nick?”

And Peeves also had a reputation for not listening to authority figures.
A reputation that Józef wasn't going to earn himself. No siree! He couldn't help but snicker at the anger from the prefect, even though he was annoyed at being soaked in swamp water, and that snicker remained when he started talking. "Do you? I don't know you."
Not his smartest response, but he WAS soaking wet from a combination of swamp water and spitballs.
"Didn't nick it. It was given to me."

"Didn't nick it. It was given to me." Given to him? Hmmmmm, likely story.
Max continued to eyeball the younger boy suspiciously….. he had questions and a lot of them. Given to him by who? And why? And where was it now?
“You know what…..? Whatever.” Because in actual fact, he didn’t care enough right now. What he cared for most in this very moment, was getting this swamp gunk off of him. The Prefect’s Bathroom was practically calling his name.
“Five points from Gryffindor for hopping the rope, playing in the swamp and making a mess.” Technically Peeves had made the mess…. And he hadn’t technically caught the boy playing in the swamp… But he HAD hopped the rope.
He was feeling gross, smelly and annoyed and Max didn’t like this kid. So there.

Peeves hovered while the two argued, growing tired of the situation. He had hoped for more of a reaction, at least some crying, from the young Gryffindor. "Wheeeeeee!" He yelled before cannon balling once more into the swampy water and splashing it all over the boys then shot back up towards the ceiling. "Tut, tut, tut. Ickle firstie, covered in goo, has lost some point for his house too!"
After one final blast of spit balls shot towards both of the boys, Peeves tired of the situation and headed off to look for more fun.
