A bit confused about the plot? Housemates talking about a mysterious something going bump in the night? Here's where YOU can post and catch up on happenings around the castle and in 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 unless it is related to the plot; that should go in the Wizarding World chat thread.

Have fun!

Wouldn't be a start of term feast without a little chaos, am I right?

1. Adorable Mutant Spotting! (Ravenclaw & Hufflepuff house tables)

He was glad he had escaped that magical container and now could explore and see everything.

Making his way over to those in blue, the mustant climbed up and settled down atop the table before one of several little humans already present (Kaira). He made a little noise that vaguely resembled giggling. Attention please.

Hiiii, he all but screamed with his eyes. The mutant spun a 360 to look at the others close by. Cuddles please?

Looking up at the brown haired girl (Chloe) he tentatively stretched out a pink paw toward her, making small little giggle like noises as if inviting her for cuddles. His little noises were next directed at the boy (Charlie) who was petting him. That felt niiiiice.

More please.

The mutant looked back to the badged girl with her hand stretched out. He jumped over to her, settling on her shoulder so he could nuzzle at her neck.

The little mutant was happy, he simply LOVED nuzzling cuddles. He was a little displeased that the other girl (Charlie) had stopped petting him. Couldn’t she tell he adored pets, so why did she stop?

When the two girl's (Nettie & Chloe) started to squeal loudly about him the little mutant got excited by all their attention and made excited giggle like noises in their directions. Next moment though he got distracted by the commotion over by the green table and just up and dissapeared.

When he finally took a seat, it was on the plate in front of a boy (Matthew). The mutant stretched out his little, right paw outward, meeting the boy’s eyes with his own curiously as if asking for a cuddle.

All the sights and sounds were a lot to take in after the solitude of the cage but he decided he liked it.

Oh? What was that?

He moved toward a plate and sniffed at it but there was another empty plate too. Abandoning the first, he went to sniff at the next. Back and forth he went, unable to choose one.



2. Toddles searching for his precious Fluffsies (Gryffindor & Slytherin tables)
Text Cut: you okay there, Toddles? o__O
Gryffindor Table

Toddles made a boo boo and Toddles was not even sure how he had. One minute he had been sitting and cuddling with Fluffsies and Cheeksies, being a very hospitable elf and giving them the tour of their new home and telling them all sorts of stories that Nimma had told him....but then Toddles blinked and Fluffsies was GONE.

With so many Mister Masters and Missus Mistresses and studentsies around...what if Fluffsies got stepped on?!

Floppy ears even more limp than usual, Toddles was on all fours crawling and caaaaarefully inspecting every crack in the cobbly stone floors in case Fluffsies may have slipsies into them. Crawling and crawling and crawling some more, Toddles made his way to the Gryffindor table and crawled right on under it and over the tops of all the feetsies of the studentsies. His boney elbows and knees over their shoes making a very pointed entrance.

"Fluffsies? Fluffsies? Toddles looking for you, Fluffsies!"

Quote:

Pausing ever so briefly to look over his shoulder (HAD THAT SHUFFLE BEHIND HIM BEEN FLUFFSIES?!), Toddles was greeted with an icy blast that had him never going back. Past steps would be past steps. Yup.

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEOUCH!" Toddles wailed as Jack Frost nipped at his nose and ear, promptly turning them into cold cold COLD frozen house elfcicles. So surprised Toddles was that he jumped to his feet, but even small elfsies like Toddles were taller than the underside of the long tables in the Great Hall and the back of his head STRUCK its underside with a loud THUD. His large round eyes were full of water and leaking as he crawled out from under the table, lopsided and top-heavy from his frozen bits.

"Oh, Missus Hurry!" Toddles lamented when he saw he had crawled out near one of the studentsies he had met in Diagon Alley. She had been ever so helpful, along with Missus Vanilla, in helping Toddles purchase Cheeksies with Mister Master Headmaster's galleons. "Toddles is looking for HIS Fluffsies. Toddles looked away only for a bit, Toddles did. But when Toddles look back, HIS Fluffsies was not in its home!"

Turning his head towards Missus Stasya and one of the new little missus, an obvious tilt thanks to his frozen ear, a few extra large drops fell from his saucer sized eyes. "Toddles' pet. Toddles promise to take good case of HIS Fluffsies! Toddles must find HIS Fluffsies before HIS Fluffsies gets stepped on!"

What if Fluffsies already HAD?! No no. Not possible. His Fluffsies was too cute for stepping feetsies.

"Toddles not sure what HIS Fluffsies is," Toddles pouted at the Missus Stella. "But Toddles no no names of many creatures. Toddles already forget the creature name of the fluffy scrub brushy he named Cheeksies." But Missus Hurry would remember. "Toddles can say that HIS Fluffsies is small and pinksies and Toddles'." The elf nearly growled the last bit in innocent possessiveness. Or maybe not so innocent. "HIS Fluffsies is so small and cute that Toddles know he will never see anything else as cute as long as Toddles lives! Toddles MUST get HIS Fluffsies back!"

Quote:

Toddles' face fell as more and more studentsies were no help to poor Toddles and his plight. Toddles had to find HIS Fluffsies! HAD TO! Even Missus Hurry, whom Toddles had thought was a friend to Toddles, was already thinking about something else. A toad of ALL THINGS! Toads were not HIS Fluffsies. Toads were not cute and fluffy and cuddly and loveable and squeaksies and ugly UGLY colors. HIS Fluffsies was perfect!

"Toddles no wants to talk about Cheeksies! Toddles wants to find his Fluffsies!" he barked in elfish high pitchness at the girl.

So it was with a frown that Toddles stomped his elfy feet and turned with a HUFF. The weight of his frozen ear nearly caused him to fall over he was SO distraught. But Toddles' frozen nose and frozen ear didn't bother him. Not really anyway. The PAIN of being separated from his Fluffsies was much much worse.

Not even Misters Abra and Lucas wanted to help Toddles! Toddles knews their family who had been so kind to Hogwarts. Toddles makes sure never to fluff their pillows or iron their robes again! Not that Toddles does these things to begin with; not so good with the ironing, Toddles was not.

STOMPING his feet for a few paces before getting on his hands and knees once again, Toddles LEFT the Gryffindor table in favor of continuing his search ELSEWHERE.

Slytherin Table

Once again crawling over all the feets of studentsies, Toddles not-so-quietly called out for HIS beloved lost pet. "Fluffsies...Fluffsies...where are you Fluffsies? Come backs to Toddles!"

A couple of more crawls later and Toddles let out a GASP as he saw something PINK sticking out under the footsie of one of the studentsies (Samia), prompting Toddles to crawl even FASTER and SHOVE the shoesie off. "FLUFFSIES? FLUFF....oh." No. Frayed not.

POUTING, Toddles continued his crawl until he spotted another studentsies on the floor too (Shanners), though Toddles had a ways to crawl before her reached that studentsies. Why was this studentsies on the floor? Was she looking for something too? Had SHE stolen HIS Fluffsies and was now grumpy like Argyle because she no finds him too? Toddles big round eyes narrowed as he crawled more quickly over studentsies feetsies and pointed one of his long elf fingers towards her with a sudden change of elfsie heart. Toddles must find Fluffsies on his own! Studentsies would only wants to keepsy Fluffsies because Fluffsies was too cute to ever EVER part with! "Missus shall not take Toddles' Fluffsies!"



What timing :shifty:

3. AND, our new Headmaster has given his speech!

Slowly, he shook his head at Stewart's question, noting that whatever it was it wasn't causing screams, disorder or panic. "No...no I'm sure the prefects can handle it. That's their job, afterall." It wasn't something wide scaled. They gave the kiddos the badges, they could let them handle the minor things.

The others offering up suggestions on what it could've been told him that he wasn't simply imagining things. There was actually something there that was holding their attention. "Doubt it's a cat, we'd see that for sure and students have all seen a cat." They wouldn't react like that about another...not so many of them anyway. Maybe it was sugar, like Adara mentioned or a run away toad like Noble said. Either way, he was starving and sure they were too.

Malachi stood with his goblet, knocking at the edge with his fork to get their attention.

"Everyone, your attention please." The Headmaster paused a moment to give them a chance to settle. From a standing position, he vaguely caught a glimpse of something pink. A pygmy puff, maybe? Definitely something the prefects could handle without it being blown up. "Welcome to another year at Hogwarts. For the new students settled among us, we find ourselves in the same shoes...well...relatively same. I'm up here, you're down there--but figuratively we're in the same shoes." Ahem. Moving on. "By the positioning of my seat--I guess the fact I'm addressing you too. You know what, there were probably a lot of hints--anyway, it's clear I'm the new Headmaster. My name is Malachi Trent and I look forward to working with you all moving forward." Excited really, but there was no need to put that into the speech.

Briefly, the man peeked down at his hand, a subtle gesture to see the next item on his impromptu list. "After that bit of unpleasantness last term, I think we could all use a fresh start. We do have a few new members on staff. Starting at the very right end of the table, Professor Joseph Flamel will be in charge of the subject of Ancient Runes. Beside him, Professor Justine Aramis taking over Arithmancy." He paused just enough for them to give a small wave or however they wanted to go about that. "Professor Dolly Dopple will take on the position of Charms Professor. On her left, Professor Kassandra Sullen has taken up the post of Divination Professor. To my left, Professor Amelia Adara. She will be the new flying instructor and healer. At the very left end, Professor Joyce Darlington for Transfiguration."

Again, he glanced down at his palm. "Huh?" Oh. "Oh right. As always and as a word of caution to our new students, the forbidden forest is--as you guessed--forbidden. Anyone found in there, if not eaten by the acromantulas or carried off by any number of other things lurking, will have to sit through a particularly non-stimulating detention that may leave you wishing you were eaten. Unless I decide otherwise, then you you may end up eaten afterall through a series of unfortunate circumstances that were likely unintended." Can't say they weren't warned. "On another note, classes begin bright and early in the morning. I know many of you may be excited to be back with your friends but tardiness and lethargy will not be tolerated so get a good night's sleep. You have all year to catch up. But enough from me for now, let's eat!"

He took his seat then and watched the food appear at each table. It was funny how the little moments brought the strongest bits of nostalgia. Something he'd think about once he got his stomach full.

Malachi didn't waste a second before he began piling his plate. Where to start??

plenty of emphasis on the Forbidden Forest:hmm:

A MUTANT in the spare office!

What was that smell?

Was that ... pineapple?

Oh. And hello, humans.

The cute fur ball snuck into the room and looked around. She was disappointed to see that the room was pretty much empty. But little eyes grew large at the sight of the over-sized beetle. The mutant took a few steps back and glanced up at the girl, a little paw stretching out toward her. Cuddles please?

...and in the dungeon corridor!

He popped in and out of places, exploring as much as he could but no matter where he went, it was always somewhere new. Now the little mutant hobbled down this corridor taking it all in with wide, curious eyes.

What was that?

Where was that smell coming from?

Everything was so exciting--and tasty!

Glancing over at the shelves you may notice that several phials that were there just the day before are nowhere to be seen. Perhaps someone recently used them for a fairly large brew? Or maybe the house-elves had taken them for cleaning?

Nothing has been recorded in the logbook and, for those that try, summoning them proves ineffective. Where, oh where, could those missing phials have gone?

If you have your own phials or just don't care to pay attention to such minor things, you would be totally oblivious that anything in the room is missing.

Though this particular room isn't always the best organized due to the number projects and supplies laying about, but those wishing to paint at the smaller tables will find that some of the jars that were used to hold a variety of brushes are now empty.

Looking around, not a single brush can be found on the floor. Maybe someone took them for cleaning and just forgot to return them?

There are a handful of brushes on the large table in the middle of the room though, so maybe you didn't notice that any brushes were missing after all.

Even though books are checked out of the library every day, four books in particular are nowhere to be found. If you need of one of these books for a homework assignment, you will be out of luck as their spots remain vacant.

It is a possibility that someone checked out one of these books, so asking the librarian might be beneficial so you can get in touch with the borrower. But it'll be rather puzzling when the records won't indicate that these books hadn't been checked out.

Where could those books have wandered off to? It wasn't that common for books in the library to go missing, was it?

Because taking care of your business being your priority, one might not notice right away that something rather essential is missing from all of the stalls. What a surprise it'll be once you realize that there is nothing to wipe your bottom with.

Did the house-elves forget to replace the toilet paper? Or had Peeves been here recently and this was one of his nasty pranks?

Regardless, you are in quite a predicament. Dare you ask if someone can find some toilet paper for you? Or do you find another means to clean yourself?

Speaking of things missing, could the Professors robes be part of the missing things?

He had looked everywhere and he knew for a fact that he hadn't sent them to be cleaned with the rest of his clothes. So where could they be?

Pulling an irritated hand through his black hair Joshua sighed out exasperatedly as he eyed the clothing lines at the back of the room. "How am I supposed to know where to start looking for my missing robes when all the clothes are hanging helter skelter in here?"

And the Headmaster seems to have lost/misplaced a box from home, too...

One was bordering too much but that was a conversation for another day. The man closed the door, leaving the gargoyles and the staircase just behind it so anyone who showed up below would know he was in a meeting and unavailable. If nothing else, the absent stairs that would usually take them to the door would’ve been clue enough.

Oh? Where was his owl? He’d left him over there on the stand. It hadn’t yet rested, he didn’t expect it would take off for hours—what happened to his box? He’d left it RIGHT THERE.

Deciding against a full on freak out, the man began moving about the room. Surely he’d misplaced it when the Headboy came to get him. While he looked, he spared the group only a glance.

“Impressive the potion’s lasted this long, but unfortunate in your case—and mine I supposed. Means I’m stuck with the lot of you a little longer.” Was it maybe under his desk? Today wasn’t windy but perhaps a freak wind had blown in and knocked it over.

Nope. Not there. Huh.

“Let’s start with who’s idea this was.” Under the couch maybe....no Malachi, that made no sense. It couldn’t fit under there. Merlin where was it?

Why did that name sound familiar?

Straightening from the crouched position he'd taken to search beneath his desk, the man moved over to the filing cabinet and skimmed through the student records. Montmorency...Montmorency....Mont--ah Theodore Montmorency, here it was, transferred. Huh. He looked back to the one who'd spoken, deciding to keep that to himself for now. "Interesting choice for a leader."

He lowered the file then drew his wand. With a light flick, each received a letter atop their forehead, just to make it a little easier for him to keep up with who was who and who said what and who was digging themselves into a deeper hole than necessary. The talker was A, that silent Carden over there was B....you caught the gist.

"So no one decided to be a free thinker. You all thought to blindly and blatantly break rules without a plan for escape or a guarantee of being able to pull it off long enough to enjoy it? What honestly was your plan? Let's pretend for a second that more of your student leaders understood the obligation to report. That's several pairs of eyes, all witnesses, all potential snitches and you did it out in the open like that because...--oh because you wanted to get caught. Right. I understand. You wanted to be punished. Far be it from me to deny you the opportunity."

Resigned to finding his box once this was sorted, the man took his seat by his desk. "Now let's see....polyjuice takes.....a month? A month yes, a month to stew so....that's a month of detention for each of you. In that time, consider all privileges, including quidditch, revoked."

Hobbling along, he came across these very shiny hourglasses. Shiny was the best thing to taste, yes it was. Moving over, the mutant took several little chomps of the red one. Delighted, he gave off a happy little sound that resembled a giggle. Tasty tasty.

The feast paused only when he got that wobbly little feeling from earlier and another little mutant stretched out of him.

Hehe, it tickled.

Both mutants gave each other a greeting cuddle before turning to the hourglasses again. Each took several bites of the remaining three, swallowing up some of the gems when they began pouring out. Again, both paused when the tickling feeling came and were soon joined by two more mutants. All four squeaked their delight before bounding off through the castle in search of something else to eat.

They were gone without a trace.

This curious little mutant moved over to the painting with wide eyes and a sudden craving for pears. This would be delightful. She'd been in search of more fruits ever since that the old lady gave her an apple. Mmmmm, it was juicy.

More please?

The mutant looked up at the portrait, unaware of it's true nature. Quite suddenly her mouth expanded wide, stretching upward.

CHOMP!

MmmmmmmMMmMMMmmMMm so good. The portrait was gone, as was any chance of getting into the kitchen unless you were an elf and could pop in and so was she. Off to find more little nibblings. Oh the wobbly feeling was back. Fun!

Waiting on the other side of the crack the hamster had squeezed through, the mutant opened wide.

CHOMP!

MMmmmMMmmMmm, as good as it looked.

The mutant looked about the empty corridor just once before disappearing again. Nothing else was coming out of the bathroom, and nothing was coming down the corridor. Not the best place to get something to eat.

Well, it seems your options are more limited than they used to be. There is a glaring empty space in front of the fireplace where the biggest, comfiest sofa used to be. Only four small indented marks in the carpet remain.

Did someone's vanishing spell practice go awry? Or perhaps the springs had finally worn through and Professor Wayland had taken it to be replaced?

Yesterday, this corridor would have provided plenty of gleaming, shiny options on your way to (or from!) Charms class. Today, however, there were a few conspicuous gaps in the armor line up.

Had the elves taken them for cleaning, perhaps? Or had Peeves taken them for a wander around the castle?

Seems you're out of luck. There's a pile of clean mugs and a fresh jug of cold milk, but the hot beverage maker provided by Professor Marchand is nowhere to be seen.

Maybe it had just been taken somewhere to be refilled?

And what happened to the Study Hall textbooks?

Hopefully you brought your own textbook. The bookshelf under the window, usually crammed full with textbooks for every subject and year group, is stripped completely bare. Not a loose page is in sight, nor are there any books left out on the tables.

Maybe the library will have what you need instead?

They looked absolutely delicious! His little tummy gave a good rumble, and without a second thought the little fuzz ball was chomping on a tap. But one just wasn't enough!

He had eaten two or three more when he got that little wobbly feeling, and soon enough there was another little hungry mutant standing next to him. He made that happy little sound, nuzzling his new friend, and they both munch on some more of the taps, not noticing that water was spewing out of the eaten metal pipes.

Soon enough there were four little mutants in the bathroom! But they were bored with these metal things sticking out of the ground.

With a silent poof, they were all gone, and water was quickly filling the room.

Isn't that usually Moaning Myrtle's job?

What had all these creatures so spooked?

The little mutant was so very curious and decided to make its way outside, to see what yummy treats it could find there.

The adorable little thing wiggled around the barn, looking here and there until its eyes landed on something that looked tasty.

It took no notice of all the twitching and neighing that was going on around it and sniffed the air for a moment or two before

CHOMP!

One moment the Abraxan was there, the next it was not.

And with a happy satisfied little sound, the puff ball disappeared.

POOF!

Whatever you want to advertise to the masses, you won't be able to do it on the bulletin board. The cork board is nowhere to be seen, with simply a bare patch and a couple of screw holes on the stone wall where it used to stand.

Maybe try a common room noticeboard instead?

There’s a whole horde of mutants now and they seem to enjoy Dopple’s office

The old woman was kind and fed them ALL the time. It was a little like what they said about feeding stray cats. These little guys always came back. Today was no different. While they spent most of their time hiding away in the dark crevices, multiplying with each new meal, this office was like a second home. Comfy places to get snug and a caring figure to give them cuddles and whatever she could fit into their mouths.

The mutants lounged all about, making their little giggle-esque noises as they waited to be fed.

It was about feeding time, wasn’t it? Once it was over, they would go back to hiding—and chomping.

OMG! Bye, Professor Dopple.

Was it getting even more crowded in here?

The horde looked to the door when it opened, squeeing and wiggling in delight. More people meant more food and more cuddles. A few mutants began hobbling toward the man but paused at the appearance of yet another. Moooaaarrr people for cuddles.

The one the old woman had picked up kept licking at her hand that tasted of muffins and other treats, even after it was extended to the men.

Lick. Lick. Mmmmm. Lick lick.

CHOMP!

In one rather large swallow, the old woman was gone and the puffball had gently floated to the ground where she once stood. It burped loudly, the sound giving a sort of echo before the little ticklish feeling came back. In squeed once more before splitting into not one, not two but three new mutants looking for love.

Tasty tasty.

Were those men tasty too? Did they want to cuddle?

Looks like an emergency meeting is happening

Frail as she was, a lot of them were smaller than her in size and thinking back to the barn incident...and the hourglasses--and he'd blame them for the portrait too--the man was solidly convinced that size had nothing to do with what they tried to fit into their mouths. He said tried but there was no "trying" really. They didn't appear to have any problems fitting ANYTHING in there and he wasn't looking to have any of the students be next.

It was a struggle to not pace back and forth restlessly while he waited to be joined by the rest of the students and staff but he somehow managed.

Pacing and looking quite worried would not help anyone else to keep calm in the situation. Granted, having not seen what he and Kennedy just witnessed, perhaps some of them were already calm BUT THERE WAS NOTHING TO BE CALM ABOUT, THAT THING SWALLOWED DOPPLE!!

For now, the Headmaster stood with his hands clasped behind his back. Outwardly, he at least didn't look like he'd hit panic mode. It was an accomplishment in itself.

OH....dear:lol:

It was quite strange, wasn't it? She had asked the little furry things what had happened, but they obviously didn't know how to speak English.

Feeling quite frazzled, Dolly decided to get some fresh air. Leaving her office and somehow floating through her office door, Dolly walked floated down the corridor, noticing a few students running down the hall towards the the stairs. My, what was going on?

She finally ended up in the corridor to the courtyard, getting closer to the courtyard, when she noticed that nearly the entire student body and ALL of the staff had been gathered in the courtyard. "Oh dear, what is happening here?" Dolly whispered to herself, moving towards the doorway to enter the courtyard.

That was when another strange thing happened.

She hit some sort of... barrier.

The old woman tried again, but she was unable to enter the courtyard, somehow trapped inside this corridor. How frustrating! Why couldn't she join the others? Clearly this was an important meeting!

Dolly Dopple, unaware that she had very VERY recently been eaten and turned into a ghost, pounded her wrinkly fist on the invisible barrier that separated her from the outdoors. "What is going on here?" she called out. "What am I missing?" She didn't like to miss out, you see. "Has a Professor been injured?" Is that what she heard? You know, her hearing wasn't like it used to be.

It looks like Mark might be picking up some of the habits of our favorite pink fuzzy creature friends

The voice was loud enough to seem authoritative but also it thanked them at the end of it. So really it could have gone either way.

He was also sporting some really thick and bushy chest hairs? Mark was a man now! He was gonna show it off too. though the spot itched quite a lot. The young Ravenclaw kept his tie loose and a few shirt buttons undone so that a patch of that chest hair was predominantly displayed.

He scurried into the growing crowd of other students in the courtyard. Looking around to see if maybe he might spot his sister, or Gunnar or Chloe. Maybe was Luke here?

Did he mention that he was very hungry?

Mark stood at a distance in the crowd of students. He would probably be safer if he stood closer to some of the older students. But not a certain particular older student. No one's he could trust.

He spotted the Head Boy. Derfael was his name. The Hufflepuff with impressive jawbones. Don't ask that was just the most defined feature he could point out about him.

He moved in closer to the Head Boy and stood just behind him. He scratched at the patch of chest hair that was getting bothersome now then felt his stomach rumble. he looked toward the head boys robes. Grabbing at the back of them Mark lifted them up toward his mouth and stuffed some it into his mouth and started to chew on it. This had to be good Hogwarts Robes seemed to be the most wanted delicacy in Hogwarts to him at this very moment and Mark couldn't pass up this chance.

Chew chew chew
on the Head Boy's Robe.
Nom Nom Nom.

Well well WELL. Here comes the Ministry :whaa:

SPOILER!!: letter

HOGWARTS SCHOOL
of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY


A situation has arisen within the castle. Let me first assure that the situation has since been contained and we are doing our best to resolve it, however, there remains a situation.

Strange creatures have been spotted around the castle, creatures we now suspect to be behind the disappearance of several items of school property. They are not a kind of creature we've ever seen before but they appear to multiply after eating, resulting in a pest problem now well beyond our control. The nature of these creatures is such that they disappear at will and eat without discrimination. This is not meant to alarm, but a professor has since been consumed.

A team of experts being sent over to help in our efforts to remove these creatures would be greatly appreciated.

Additionally, it appears these creatures have brought with them an illness of sorts that has affected several of our students. Along with this owl, I will be sending samples from a few of the students as well as a cage that used to house the creature before it was released to cause havoc. Further production of these cages could prove very beneficial in dealing with this situation.

Precautions are currently being taken to ensure the students and remaining staff are safe. We'll continue to take these until you are able to assess the issue among yourselves and come to a solution appropriate to the situation.

Bye Puff table

They poured into the Great Hall and headed straight for the Hufflepuff table.

CHOMP!
CHOMP!
Splinter, Crack
CHOMP!


The Horde finished off the entire table before realizing they were not alone. The pink mutants were shaking and wide-eyed as they scampered off like roaches with the lights flicked on. The last time there had been crowds, they’d tried capturing and chasing them away. No more, please.

There's a mutant in the Ravenclaw boy's dorms :O

Once they were done here, the mutants hobbled out of the first year dorm to the second year dorm, stopping only a moment when they all felt that wobbly tickling feeling from earlier. Hehe, it tickled.

After cuddling their new found friends in greeting the now eight mutants hobbled off to find more tasty beds and lamps and trunks to chomp on in the other boy dorms.
