Default Spare Office


If you happen to try one of the doors near the end of the sixth-floor corridor, you might just find yourself in a handsome (if not dusty and aged) office of a surprisingly large size. The faint smell of crystallized pineapple seems to linger in the air of the room, which contains numerous side doors and nooks and crannies. Unfortunately for you, all of them remain firmly locked so there is no telling what lies behind them.

Although the room is devoid of any office-like furniture, or any furniture at all, there is still an impressive, but faded, rug before the large fireplace and long mirror hanging over that to boot. The spare office is still a cool place to hang out, practice some wandwork, or do some light reading. Just don't linger here too long because the allegedly esteemed former person that resided here was only fond of certain guests, of whom were one of his favourites and were only welcome to visit him in this office only as long as they didn't ask prying questions about specific moments in his past.

Gabi had FINALLY gotten to the spare office with her Slytherin students in tow, but as soon as she turned the corner - she found herself face to face with cultists.

Of course.

At least she didn't have to pretend to play nice anymore. "Oh no you don't!" she yelled as she turned the corner, blue eyes practically blazing as she whipped out her wand and started sending stunning spells into the group of Alliance followers. Had she known the other professors had put a protection spell on the room, she would have tried to fortify it, but right now her only goal was to try and take down as many of them as she could. She also had to think about the Slytherins she had behind her, who were in immediate danger being out in the corridor.

Gabi vs. a whole group of cultists? The odds were...well, she was mad, so actually, they should probably be a little scared.

The arm squeeze from Noah was appreciated, but Ivy remained speechless as she plopped down against the wall. She covered her face with the sleeves of her robes, forcing herself to take deep, shaky breaths in an effort to stop crying. Merlin, she needed to get a grip. The hope and the fear and the uncertainty couldn't make her fall apart now.

By the time Professor Schmoe arrived, she was feeling...well, not necessarily calmer, but she'd gotten the tears under control. She looked like a mess. But then again, she probably looked like that even more considering the Room situation, so she looked like even more of a mess. But he provided them all with a mission, and doing something, even if she couldn't do much, was good for her.

She cast a few shield charms. Her spellwork...she wasn't very confident in it at this moment, but with all of them working together, they would surely cover her weaknesses.

One could only hope, because now they had arrived. She got to her feet, wand still raised, and wasn't expecting for someone to grab her free hand. Glancing at Apollo, she gave his hand a squeeze, a small attempt at reassurance.

Lilith Crane has never felt more alone than she has right now. Not even compared to the Lost and Found at Disney World she found herself at seven years old. Everyone has someone. Lilith...she had the wall she currently curled up against. During the past few weeks her spark had died down, and she reverted to isolating herself. It was easier to do homework and sleep. Even eating had become a chore.

Trembling as she hugged her knees to her chest, Lilith buried her face in them. So much chaos in this small room, she couldn’t imagine what was happening outside. Had the good wizards come to get them? Was her dad out there? The simple thought of her dad crossing the gates made her want to sprint out of this room and go look for her. Her brain told her to stay put. It wasn’t 100% guaranteed her dad was out there. If she ran out, the neo-alliance people would definitely kill her without a second thought.

So she remained.

It was when she heard Schmoe’s voice (of all voices) that she lifted her head and looked at him from under teary eyelashes. He was right. A wall could only withstand so many hits. Protective barriers were needed. But she was so scared. Her legs didn’t want to work anymore. What if the neo-alliance just burst in here? What if they got rid of all of them? It’d be much faster. Lilith shook her head. Dark thoughts plagued her as of recently.

Using the wall as support, she stood up, wand in hand, and raised it. The charm was halfway out of her mouth when…

....They were here. They were doomed.

Atlas was not the athletic one of the Flamsteed twins, though he did always accompany Aries reluctantly on whatever adventure his brother had scheduled for the day AND he knew how to climb a tree (or up to the roof)...so contact sports were not something that typically he engaged in. Unless robotics battles counted in which case he was practically a seasoned professional at THAT. But there were no robots here and The Hoods™ had ensured that any joy the first year may have had in building those was GONE when they destroyed Auntie June's boyfriend's classroom area.

Speaking of that man, he was apparently saying things again...but Atlas was too concerned with the Ravenclaw he currently had his arms around to be listening. Sorry but not sorry...this was sort of the first time he had been able to be openly affectionate without fear of repercussions with Quinn since...well...since they had been waiting in line to be Sorted, basically. And it had been during this whole gap period that Atlas had realized that he was, in fact, somewhat of a physically affectionate person - at least with anyone other than his brother and sister. What he had not entirely anticipated were the tears, both the ones soaking his shoulder and his own that had started streaming down his face oh-so-inconsiderately. "....m-m-my dad is here...I-I-I know he is...d-d-dad is coming..." he mumbled incoherently. Hardly any sort of words of comfort to anyone but himself, Aries, and Andromeda...but it felt GOOD saying it too. "...h-h-h-he is going to g-get you out of here...all o-of us..."

Well, not SINGLE handedly. Atlas had realistic expectations on his dad.

Rubbing his own nose on Quinn's shoulder (uh...sorry about that mess), Atlas saw and HEARD Aries going over to ask the liar-liar-formerly-pants-on-fire Kinsay James for a hug. "You're not supposed to ask such things! You're just s-s-supposed to let them happen!" he shouted at his brother before his own insides twisted a bit. Because...betrayal? Did he still feel betrayal for Aries liking Kinsay and considering her his girlfriend? He supposed the betrayal was LESS so now since she HAD apologized for it AND had made amends by announcing loudly that Atlas had, in fact, NOT peed in the tank in Charms class contrary to her previous accusation. Somehow Atlas felt like her admitting to being wrong was a punishment in itself...but he still felt bitter. And Aries liking her made Atlas anxious because... well ... what if someday Aries picked some girl over him and abandoned him? Could he retract his earlier shouting? Could he and Kinsay not hug, maybe?

CLEARLY there was no more time for thinking about totally normal and rational teenager things as there came the absolutely horrifying sound of spells exploding against one another...and then came the laughter...and then the taunting...and Atlas's arms loosened from around Quinn to fall to his sides instead where he instinctively reached for his wand.

Also...Aries needed to come back over here...now. Please.

And here was Atlas only capable of producing the simplest of Shield Charms, rather proficient with Accio, and the most confidence with cleaning spells. Every other time this term he had tried to duel or otherwise go on the offensive, especially in Defense Against the Dark Arts, his wand had backfired as though protesting against Atlas' intent. How could he contribute ANYTHING under those conditions!?

...maybe those people slip on an impeccably clean floor? Might be able to knock some of them out if they whacked their heads hard enough.

"C-Can we...escape through the w-windows?" he asked faintly to no one in particular. "Accio...accio brooms from the grounds a-a-and fly away? " Assuming there were any brooms left on the grounds at this point. Hard to know what things looked like outside right now...but all the flashing lights were not entirely eliciting positive emotions. "O-Or...turn that rug into a flying rug and...fly away?"

They were here. They found them. Muttering under her breath, Aibhi stayed close to a few of the younger students to keep them protected, keeping her grip tight onto her wand. Her hand shook slightly over the sheer panic and adrenaline rushing through her body. The taunting words made her skin crawl. Looking over her shoulder seeing some of the younger students, she exhales out softly and keeps her ground. Oh, this was it. This was it. She. Had. Had. IT! I'm done being afraid...I'm done letting this Neo Alliance control our school. It's time to take it back.

Her eyes gazed around the room, taking glances at different students and professors and back to some Neo Alliance members, her jaw clenched. Her hand gripped tighter onto her wand trying to keep her cool and awaiting instructions on what to do next. It looked like shielding charms would help somewhat, but she gathered that they would somehow find their way around it, so it was time to go from defense...to offensive tactics. Luckily...she had a few tricks up her sleeve, or what she so claims to be a few tricks up her sleeve. Speaking softly to herself she kept repeating to herself, "Come on...come on...come on..." Not sure of herself if anyone was going to help her considering she was really friendly with most of the students here, but hopefully...that'll change with helping each other out as best as they can. Whether it was her fighting the Neo Alliance, or her helping to get the younger students out. Either way...she was as ready as she can be.

Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium

There's was too much happening. Too much.

Screaming. Lots of bangs and crashes and flashes of lights. Crying and tears. Hugging, why was Quinn and Atlas (was that Atlas?) on the floor? So many questions. So many thoughts. So many emotions. When was it all going to stop? She needed it all to stop. But she knew it wasn't. Not anytime soon.

Lia remained in the back corner of the room with her family and Tadhg in complete and utter silence, lost in her own world. All she could seem to focus on was how safe were they going to be in this room? How many of her family members were out there fighting the fight for the good? When would she be able to see them all and go home?

Insane laughter and tormented shouting quickly jarred her from these thoughts however. Blue eyes were wide with un-shed tears and fear but that didn't stop her from getting to her feet and moving away from the wall. No matter how scared she currently was, sitting on the floor in a corner was not the best option right now. And though her small hand was shaky uncontrollably, in it was gripped her rowan wood wand.

All she had to do was remain calm and focus. Now what was everyone around her saying?

Little Fox | ½ of Lauralie | Ravenclaw with a Hufflepuff heart and a Gryffindor soul | #HouseNATARIANA

Eimear MacAfee was quieter than usual, which was saying something because she was almost always quiet. It wasn't a shy kind of quiet, though ― it was an observant one. She was taking everything in. Processing it. Deciding how she felt about it. Right now she was feeling... uncertain. She wasn't numb exactly, but she wasn't especially scared either, though she probably should be. Eimear was at her brother's side and that alone was enough for her to feel relatively okay. She knew he would protect her no matter how many times she had told him she didn't need protecting. Cian wouldn't be going anywhere that she or his girlfriend, Eliza, weren't. But the reverse was true, too. She would protect him and she wasn't going to leave his side. As strange as it perhaps was, Cian was her best friend... not just her brother, and she would die before she let anything happen to him.

A moment later, the sound of the Neo-Alliance's taunts cut through the noise of the students and professors in the room.

The thirteen-year-old shifted closer to her brother and gripped her wand tighter, slowly raising it. If someone looked very carefully, they would notice that her hand was shaking ever so slightly. She didn't have much experience casting advanced protective enchantments, so there was no telling whether her charm would be successful, but all she could do was try. It was that or give the enemy a better chance at getting inside, and who knew what they would do if that happened. Eimear knew a lot about the theory of advanced spells ― theory was her thing ― but she hadn't put that theory into practice. Now she regretted it. Usually, she was able to master spells rather quickly... but there wasn't time for mastery today.

Eimear closed her eyes and took a breath, trying to block out the noise of everyone else in the room. Then she focused on the outcome of the charm. "Salvio hexia," she muttered. And again. And again.

Alexandre was standing near the front of the room, silent but listening to the chaos around him. He turned his attention toward Schmoe when he started talking about protective barriers. Okay, yes, he could do that. Alexandre raised his wand, pointing it toward the door. "Salvio hexia." He followed the professor's lead. The first few times he tried the spell his voice came out a bit shaky. He paused, took a deep breath, and tried to steady himself. He had to do this. Being scared wasn't helping anybody. "Salvio hexia." He tried again, and this time was better. He just needed to focus.

And then he heard the commotion on the other side of the doors. The bad guys were here, and trying to get him. A spark of fear shot through him but he willed himself to keep his focus. He had to protect the young ones.

Curtis watched everyine surrounding him as the chaos began to unfold. Great, we were too loud. He thought, as the Alliance's voices raised through the door. Too many kids crying was starting to get on his nerves. But he didn't voice this, since you know everyone including himself was in danger. Curtis had to think about what to do next. The Stupid Alliance members were outside. Was the door charmed good enough? But would that be enough? But maybe... He drew his wand out to send a wordless Muffliato, over the door.

If they can't hear us, then we got an upper hand on spell casting. Curtis last thought before backing away from the door. He then surveyed the room again.. there was a fireplace and a rug. Could they floo out of here? Was there a secret exit in the rug? But Professor Schmoe already told them to start casting protective shields.

"Salvio hexia," Curtis started with first before, "Cave inimicum," That should hopefully keep them hidden. If this didn't work... Curtis had some choice final words.

Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE!

Mamie was relieved when Aboli announced Ashley was not dead, and even more relieved when her friend herself woke up. "ASHLEY!" she whisper-shouted, immediately releasing her friend's shoulder. "You can go back to sleep, I'm sorry," she said, scooting away to give her friend some space. As long as she was truly alive, Mamie supposed Ashley could have a nap. Who knew where she'd been or what she'd gone through? She was just glad to see her.

And then Schmoe returned and announced they had to put up protective barriers. Mamie got to her feet and gripped her wand. Thanks to Ashley's help, she'd learned some extra defensive and healing charms earlier in the term. She might be barely a teenager, but she wanted to help.

And also, was Professor Schmoe crying? Mamie wanted to give him a hug but...they had protective spells to cast, yep. She'd cast her first one, too, when she heard the fighting sounds get closer and...someone was shouting for them to come out? The Neo-Alliance scary people?

Mamie was scared. And the best thing to do when you were scared was to whistle a happy tune. Or, more usefully, to do something about it. So. "Salvia Hexia," she said, copying Schmoe and the older students. Her spell was probably not strong enough to be any good by itself, but combined with everyone else's spells it might be just what they needed to keep the Neo-Alliance out. "Protego protego protego."

Default Norman's been here/Heath came in with the Slytherins ^_^
Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll

Norman watched the students filing into the spare office. Despite his impassive expression, his heart was breaking with each sad, frightened face he saw, especially the four faces he never expected to see again… Yoon, Stover, Fox, and Trent. Out of all of them, he felt worst for the latter. All he could think was how angry he’d feel if the shoe was on the other foot. If the Neo-Alliance takeover had happened at Ilvermorny instead; if his daughter had been tortured, imprisoned, vanished to Merlin knows where and subjected to Merlin knows what; if Malachi Trent (the real one) had taught there and allowed that to happen to Normandie, he would never forgive it! But now wasn’t the time for guilt and self-doubt. He couldn’t change the past; the best thing he could do for these kids now was use his knowledge to guide them through the impending battle.

He was jerked out of his thoughts as he noticed Mr. Yoon staring at his sleeve while carrying an unconscious Mr. Stover. Then he heard a student (Kinsay) calling for help, and he saw Miss Fox down. Thankfully Neva arrived and stepped in to help before he could react. He nodded, giving her a look of gratitude. Soon Finneas and June were here too, and he joined the others in casting protective spells. "Protego Totalum… Salvia Hexia… Fianto Duri.”

Then he heard it… that laugh and those taunts that told him time was running out. He shook his head at the suggestions of escape. “There’s not enough time,” he said. His blue-green eyes darted about the room, observing the students’ emotions. He understood more than they knew. He already lost everything to a dark wizard once, and it took him years to fully bounce back. He knew their trauma, their sadness, their fear, their anger… What he didn’t know was how to comfort and encourage them, but he had to try.

“Kids…” he began, choosing his words very carefully so as not to frighten the students or tip off the Neo-Alliance. “Not gonna lie. This looks bad, but sometimes we don’t know just how strong we are until being strong is the only choice we have. Don’t give up! Try to stay calm, and remember what we learned this term…”

Mentally formulating a strategy, he positioned himself in front of the students like a human shield. “If you can, try to follow my lead,” he said. He cast a nonverbal Avis, and a flock of bearded vultures appeared, hovering midair as if awaiting the signal to attack. A surprise attack with conjured animals could buy them time to mount a bigger defense, hit them with everything they had. He held up one hand as a signal to NOT cast Oppugno yet and looked to the door, half-expecting the goons on the other side to burst in at any moment.



Having followed Recard, Claudine, and the rest of the Slytherins, Heath made it to the spare office just in time. He leaned against the wall beside Claudine, his heart practically pounding out of his chest. His mind was going a million miles an hour, his thoughts vacillating between fear and hope so fast he couldn't keep track of them. Was this how he was going to die? Would anyone (besides the girlfriend, of course) remember him if he did? Would his family ever find out what happened to him? Then a faint ray of hope - ironically the first real hope he had for his survival in months - awakened within him and reminded him that maybe he wouldn’t die today. He got decent marks in DADA, and he’d already thwarted Rosier’s plans once last term with the acromantulas. If he did that once without even meaning to, maybe he could do it again.

He looked around the room at the other students gathered, and - Blink, blink. Was that Ashley? And Minjae? And Kale and Moose? He hadn’t dared hold out hope that they were still alive! A lump formed in his throat, but somehow the adrenaline rush kept him from crying. He was sure the tears would come after all was said and done, but now he was in survival mode.

As he looked back at Claudine, he was hit with a strange sense of deja vu. His thoughts turned to that day in the divination tower two years ago when the school and everyone in it nearly faded from existence. Now here he was again facing imminent doom with her, again desperately hoping that if the worst happened he went first so he wouldn’t have to endure the pain of losing her, again wishing he could tell her just how much he loved her in case it was the last thing he’d ever say to her. Only this time he didn’t let his shyness get the better of him. “Hey,” he whispered. “Whatever happens, I love you forever.” Nothing, not even death would change that!

Hearing the professor’s instructions, Heath turned to the door, wand drawn. “Avis,” he cast as quietly as possible. In a cloud of smoke, about three or four crows appeared in front of him.

She was getting worried with all the loud sounds coming from outside and she wondered if her dad was out there or who else could be fighting. Turning back to the professors she looked at them with question and also with her wand to help with the protective spells if she was able to.
Christian was reunited with his cousins, Harper had left to go fight. While he knew she was super smart and would show those goons. He however was in the safe room now. He was currently confronting Ariel his younger cousin, and as best as he could a quick lesson on protective spells. As he casted a few as well.

Turning his head when he had hear Gemma, Thank Merlin she was alright? But she was obviously upset and didn’t know where her mum was. ”Gemma.” Assuring that his cousins were okay. He moved over closer to his friend. ”Hey. I’ll tell you what when we can safely get out. I’ll help you find your mom. Okay?” He gave her a promising smile.

A smile that faded slightly. Did the noises of Battle kid get louder or something? Closer? Like inside the door closer? Now he was feeling a little nervous about this plan. ”It sounds like we are going to get some unwanted guest.” They were going to need a stronger spell or another plan. Gripping his wand tightly and with a focused voice. "Salvio hexia, Salvio hexia.”

They were just going to sit around and stare at the walls and wait for someone to MURDER THEM? Phoebe didn't want to be a naysayer, but she didn't exactly think that any number of protection charms were going to keep those goons out. That was sad, honestly, since Phoebe wanted to be brave and hopeful for Cece.

"Wait! Professor Schmoe!" She gave Cece a squeeze and jumped to her feet. "There are all these locked doors. They have to lead somewhere. Can't we get the littles out through there, even if the rest of us stay to hold the doors here as long as possible? We can't... We need to do something other than waiting for them to come and get us!"

Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.

So much noise. Everyone was talking around him. And the throbbing pain in his head continued to persist. But the feel of a hand on his holding it. Every part of it wanted it to be his mother's or his father's, his little sister's or his Mamani. It could even be his Grandfather's. He didn't care who in his family held his hand. There was a soft touch to it and it comforted him through the chaos.

But then the chaos got worse. The loud shouting of Schmoe stirred him awake, He didn't know Schmoe could shout so loudly like that? He gripped Kinsay's hand tightly as he looked toward her and tried to prop himself up on his elbows. This was the first proper moment Moose could finally take everything in. "Wh-what's going on?" He didn't let go of Kinsay's grip. It was Kinsay's hand that made him feel comfortable? He winced feeling the pain from the wound on his forhead. The splitting headache nearly had him go under again but no...What was going on? All those loud explosions and the shouting from outside this room. Moose was confused. He looked up and saw uh...Atlas wanting a hug? He didn't hear who he wanted it from. Things were still a bit groggy. No...Aries. Didn't Atlas hate Kinsay? Why were all these thoughts coming to him. He preferred the deeper thoughts he had in the dark. He shook his head but stopped that instantly. "My...head. Nemesis....he. My head hurts."

There had been no light and no sound where he had been banished.

And now there was too much of it.

It was hurting the boy's head and making his eyes ache. Too much. He pulled his knees into his chest and buried his pink-tinted blonde head there for safety. The boy wanted less. Less sound and light and stimulation and the world felt full of it.

He appreciated the comfort of her hand and he gave it a squeeze back as he turned his eyes from the disassociating Kale to look at Phoebe. “But, he’ll be okay, won’t he?” He did look to her to reassure him, but he wasn’t so sure himself.

“Yeah, okay, I can do that. That’s a good idea,” he nodded at her suggestion before kneeling down next to Kale, leaving Phoebe to go tend to Cece, who did not look that great either. He understood the shock and confusion. This all had been a lot and he still wasn’t sure he believed they were really in the clear as far as safety went.

"Kale?" Morgan softened his voice as he took off his robe. "Kale, it's me, Morgan. MF." He draped it around the boy's fetal form, propping it up with a bit of magic as a sort of tented barrier from the lights and sounds of the room. "It's gonna be okay." It had to be. The sight of those he thought were gone forever returned to him the tiniest spark of hope.


Flynn lifted his head after studying Yoyo crying on him, and finally looked around, his eyes catching on the opposite side of the room where Morgan was taking off his robes and-- Flynn's entire heart stopped for about a thousand years, then resumed somewhere in his stomach before clawing is way back into his chest with a violent sort of intensity.

The distant sounds of battle dropped away, and even the more immediate clamouring of protective spells and the howls of the neo-alliance on the other side of the door spiraled off into nothingness. Flynn ignored it all. In some moment he had begun crawling over, having gently extricated himself from Yoyo and her tears. The softly scratchy woollen blanket on his shoulders trailed on the ground and pulled up dust tracks on either side of his knees. If the footprints of his peers didn't obfuscate the trail now leading from one wall to the other it would later be evidence of just how single-minded Flynn had found himself in that strange, surreal little moment that existed in the gap between all other moments of this war.

It wasn't that Flynn was ignoring Morgan or his makeshift robe-tent, either, but this wasn't a hi-how-are-you-is-our-friend-who-was-missing-really-back kind of moment. Usually when Kale entered a room you could feel it in every single corner, but Flynn hadn't felt it, he hadn't noticed his friend was even here, and that came with a disconcerting sense of wrongness that had his heart give a lurch and continue its climb, only to lodge and catch in his throat.

Now kneeling directly in front of his friend, the combination of the robe-tent around Kale, and the blanket over Flynn's own back and shoulders effectively obscuring Kale completely from view for all but Morgan, Flynn wordlessly found Kale's lifeless-seeming hand, and gave it a squeeze, just like he had countless other times when words between them had seemed impossible.

The war could continue raging on, it could break into this room and tear everyone into tiny little pieces around him, but the only thing Flynn could still do to fight right now was hold his friend's hand.

Default hi i tried my hardest to get all the mentions - pls shout at me if i missed anything

Finneas nodded gratefully at students like Mr. James, Ms. Jenovick, Ms. Blackthorne, Ms. Grimm, Ms. Crane, Ms. MacAfee, Mr. Pascal, Mr. Fuller, Ms. Turov, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Culloden. Under the circumstances, he could not blame those who sat idle, but those who were trying to help in whatever capacity they could were noted and appreciated. They were all in this together And it shows, when we stand, hand in haaaaaand, make our dreams come truuuuue.

With students moving to help with protective barriers, Finneas turned his attention to Ms. Gemma Kitridge. He stumbled a bit, feeling a sense of great worry overcome him - like a terrible feeling he could not shake. Still he was grateful that the young Hufflepuff had supportive friends (like, Mr. Culloden) by her side. ”I’m not sure, Ms. Kitridge, she is likely fighting for us beyond these walls. But, er, but we will find her as soon as all of this is over.” He swallowed thickly. Schmoe wasn’t sure there was anything more he could say to comfort the girl, so he simply bobbed his head and turned away, feeling guilty and useless. This could have all been avoided had they only realized sooner. If they had only done more.

It wasn’t until he heard the taunts from the other side that he snapped back into the present moment, adrenaline practically coursing through his veins at this point. "Stand back!" Hearing panicked questions from first and seventh years alike, Schmoe was starting to stress out even more. He was glad to have June, Neva, Norman inside with him. BEYOND glad. So glad that if it weren’t a terrible predicament, he would have REJOICED. In truth, Schmoe was just as helpless as his students. He had no idea how to go about navigating battle. Even having gone over the possible scenarios, he couldn’t have adequately prepared. He wasn't a fighter. He was a simple man of simple noodlehood.

While he did wish they could just escape through windows or accio brooms, Schmoe knew it would be no less dangerous. The ideas were nice in theory, but they were not entirely practical given the current circumstances, Mr. Flamsteed. Seeing Norman lead the students in casting avis, Finneas felt some relief. Surely there was some magic they had learned that could be of use this year. The Muggle Hunting lesson. They may not have the nets they needed, but surely they remembered some of the techniques.

”Locked doors?” Finneas whipped his head around immediately to look at Ms. Phoebe James. In all the chaos, he hadn’t taken the time to look around. ”Excellent idea, er, could you assemble a team to er, to try to unlock them?” Finneas would help, but he needed to take his place at the forefront of the group, where he could put himself between the students and the Alliance.

____________________


Kinsay tried her very best to believe Professor Peralta, even though it was hard not to think the worst. When your friend was laying lifelessly before you, the worst was the easiest thing to think. But she was trying - really, really trying to listen. It was something she was making a conscious effort to do more of this year. Sometimes listening was hard, especially when her own thoughts were loud enough to overpower the words of those around her, but sometimes trying was all you could do.

She nodded quietly, as her Charms Professor spoke her soft words. ”I’ll stay with him, Professor. I promise.” And Kinsays kept their promises. So even when Professor Schmoe started instructing people to put up protections or when she saw Cece and Phoebe occupying the other corner, Kinsay stayed put. Her hand still holding Moose’s unmoving one. It was okay, sitting on the floor. Because from here she could do a mental check to make sure all of her friends were present. She liked knowing they were all here. Even more than that, she liked knowing her brother and sister were here too. She even managed a faint smile for Teddy as he heroically made way to help with protections.

It made her feel a little less like a Gryffindor, not helping. She tried not to think about it too much, her attention quickly shifting when she felt the tap on her shoulder. It took her a moment, to put a name to the face. He was either Atlas or Aries, she knew that much, but sometimes it was hard to tell them apart. Maybe if she had been able to spend more time with them, in the Common Room, she would have known by now. But it was easy to know who was who when they both spoke, Aries asking the polite question and Atlas, shouting. (She knew Atlas didn’t like her very much and sometimes it still upset her when she thought about it).

Kiz reached for Aries' hand—her other hand still held onto Moose’s—and tugged gently. In reply to his question, she nodded lots, even trying to smile a little bit for him - having remembered his note. Kizzy wasn’t sure why Atlas had shouted at his brother, but it suddenly felt important to show her support. The same way Aries had when Headmaster Rosier called her incessant. ”I like that you asked. It was considerate.”

She scooted over a little too, incase he wanted to sit with her.

It was only then that she felt Moose’s tight grip. ”Moose,” her voice gentle. It was a strange thing, feeling an onset of relief, whilst still knowing disaster surrounded you. ”I never thought I’d—“ But she stopped herself from finishing the sentence, for if she had, she certainly would’ve burst into another fit of tears. ”The professors are going to save us. I know they are.” She looked over at Aries, wondering if he’d stay and maybe a-little-bit-hoping-he-would, before turning back to Moose. ”I’m staying with you, okay? I promise.” Gently, she squeezed his hand.

Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?

But Ash couldn't sleep anymore. SHe didn't want to laugh anymore. She didn't want to die in her sleep. That was like, the worst way to die. There were alliance members knocking on the door. Not enough time. Notenoughtime. They only thing to do was wait for death or wait to fight. But she couldn't fight. She didn't have her wand. This was so ridiculous. "Wand.... I need it. I need it. Where is it? I need my wand I need my wand I need my wand." She needed her wand. Her wand had incendio. And diffindo. And healing spells. Where was it? Who had it? She started to cry but didn't notice. A boy flashed through her mind. Her best friend. He looked betrayed. There was a flash. Either a memory spell or a killing curse, she couldn't remember. The image ended. What would happen if she died. She couldn't DIE like this. Who cared if it didn't hurt... who cared if it didn't make anyone feel sad... who cared about whether it was inevitable or not. She just couldn't die like this. "Does anyone know where my wand is?" She tried not to panic. Her heart was beating like crazy and her hand was shaking and her thoughts here incomprehensible and her rational mind had already accepted death. But. There was a part of her that wanted to fight everything. Fight the world. Never give up no matter what happened. Act like nothing was predetermined. It didn't matter that that part of her mind was irrational. That she couldn't win. She was so gonna listen to it. She wiped the tears from her eyes. "I need my wand." She tried to sit up. She couldn't really do it. But she kept trying. Ash NEEDED HER WAND. Nevermind that she was nearly unconscious. Nevermind that she was not in a good mental state. She needed to die fighting. "Fighting."

I need to do something. At least try to survive.

HELP ME.

I can't die like this.

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

Only as she scrambled away from the door did Claudine realise that not every one of the Snakes had made it in and that included their Head of House. Panic, coupled with her anxiety, made her wand-wielding hand begin to shake slightly. Her eyes wept around the room, taking in the students; there were so many younger ones {was that Ashley?? And Minjae??}… there was no way that all of them would be able to fight. Claudine couldn’t even blame one of the Flamsteed twins for suggesting a route of escape.

The fight wasn’t over yet though. The voices still uttering protective charms jolted the fifth year out of her thoughts. Sadly, they did nothing to ease the anxiety. Hearing Heath’s voice from beside her, the girl turned her head in his direction. Through it all, Heath had stuck with her and she couldn’t decide if that was stupid or brave. Maybe it was both. She nodded, and without caring if anyone saw, she stood on tiptoes to briefly press her lips against his.

Charms.

Right. The subject was her second strongest; she could do this. “Sa- Salvio hexia.’’ Her voice was somewhat shaky, yes. “Salvio Hexia.’’ That was followed up by the Room Sealing Charm. Claudine’s heart hurt as she did that one since it meant that some of the Snakes and Recard were left stuck out there. Even the appearance of the bearded vultures did nothing to distract her from the hurt. The conversation about unlocking the doors vaguely registered with her though.

The Neo Alliance had their wands out and while some tried to get through the door of the office, others put their focus on the healer in the corridor. "We will give you your professor if you open up and play." One of the hooded wizards yelled out before sending a blasting spell towards the door.

With wands up they sent nonverbal stunning spells and curses towards Recard. She was out numbered, did she realize or did she think she could be the hero in this and take them all down at once. It was a bunch of kids in the office they couldn't do much all pushed in one place. The alliance just wanted to have some fun with them.

Gemma looked over as Christian came up to her and gave a reassuring words that they would find her, but she didn't understand why should wouldn't have come here, why didn't she come to be with Jackson and her. "Okay Christian." She just wanted her mom there and she hated not knowing what was going on. Why couldn't she be older so she could go off and fight with her. Was her dad there too?

Hearing the professor pretty much say the same thing she just nodded as a tear slipped down her cheek. "Okay, you're right. I'll help here." She had to focus here and when she heard the voices outside the door she knew they were there. Panic seemed to hitting the room so she lifted her wand to help put the protection spells on when she heard them say about a professor.

"We have to help. What if it's my mom, or any of them." She did care about the other professors too, she did, but it could be here mom out there fighting those bad people, right outside the door. They had to do something.

Not that Phoebe had any reason to feel good at the moment, but her heart lifted when Schmoe gave her permission to try to open one of the other doors in the room. Maybe one led to a way out. Or a room that was easier to defend. At the very least, it meant they weren't totally trapped and waiting for someone to come and get them.

She flashed Schmoe a (hopefully brave) smile and rushed over to the nearest door. It was possible this was a closet, but Phoebe's mental map of the sixth floor told her this wall at least connected with the room next door. Just... she'd try one thing first. Phoebe threw herself at the door, sinking to the ground with a yelp as she bruised her shoulder and nearly dislocated it in the process.

Physical force won't break down the door, so she'd have to try magical. "Open sesame?"

Default Sorry for the big delay in response ;.. playing a little catch up
The Gay Agenda™< >Homiesexual uwu

Quinn nodded into Atlas's shoulder as he attempted to pull himself back together. He was happy for the reunion, but now might not be the best time for a tearful heart-to-heart. Either way, for Atlas's sake, Quinn hoped he was right about Mr. Flamsteed being here. He wouldn't voice that thought... best to keep Atlas's spirits up. "O-okay..." he said.

Normally Quinn would've been pretty grossed out by the nose-wiping, but right now was extenuating circumstances and he just tried not to think too much about it. He was a little shocked by Atlas's shouting though, and he jumped a little—he remembered it being a thing that Kinsay said he peed, Atlas said he didn't, but then Kinsay was Aries's girlfriend..? Quinn honestly wasn't super interested in that whole... situation. He thought it was a little dumb, truthfully, and it should've been easy to patch things up. But he understood Atlas being upset, too... either way, he just didn't think too much about the shouting. He did think about how their friend hug was going on for a while, wasn't it? Should he break it off, he didn't want to make Atlas uncomfortable, but he really liked hugging Atlas—

And then the shouting from the hallway. The hug was now the last thing on Quinn's mind as Atlas's arms dropped. This was... this was his chance, wasn't it? He could do something, anything, he could help!

But his friend needed help first. He grabbed Atlas's hand and squeezed it. "Atlas... that... that won't work. With all the fighting outside... we won't be flying anywhere." Quinn wanted to help, but being unrealistic would be more comforting than helpful. He looked around the room for something to help the situation. He saw kids putting up protections (he didn't know the spell they were using, he only knew Protego, and he wasn't great at that one yet, either), Professor Carton was summoning birds (Avis he knew, but he hadn't practiced it much and didn't think he would be able to do it very effectively), Phoebe was attempting to open some of the doors (Quinn wasn't sure what would be behind them, or if they would be able to open them anyway). Then there was another shout—they had a Professor out there? Oh jeez, what to do, what to do, think!

They... might have to fight, right? Quinn tried to go over all the spells he had read up on in his head, and the ones he learned in class. Expelliarmus. Bombarda. Incendio. Flipendo. Stupefy. Sectumsempra. He hadn't had time to practice any since he went to the Room, but... knowing the words was... something, at least, right? And he knew he could at least do Bombarda fairly well. He would at least be able to try them if it came to it, right?

The Room... rooms in the castle... Quinn read a couple books about Hogwarts early on in the year—starting off learning about the place he was in seemed appropriate—this office used to be...Professor Slughorn's, right? Over a hundred years ago. Wouldn't it make sense to have some sort of secret passage in here? The castle was supposed to be full of them, wasn't it? They could be behind whatever the doors Phoebe was trying to open were, but... judging by her position on the floor, that didn't seem to be making any headway. Maybe...

Quinn pulled Atlas over to the fireplace. He got on his hands and knees and stuck his head in, looking up to see if there was... anything, really. But it was just dark. He took his wand out and started tapping on bricks—that's how it worked to get into Diagon Alley, so maybe it would work here. He looked back out at Atlas. "I... I don't know if there's anything here, but... there might be a secret passage or something, and... it's... worth a try, at least, right?"

When the hand squeeze was returned, Apollo looked over to see who it was and gave a feeble smile at the older Ravenclaw Ivy. She was being sweet and Apollo appreciated the small token of reassurance. "Sorry," he whispered apologetically, as he tried to focus his attention on the room they were in now. Was it just him or did the room smell faintly of crystallized pineapple? Also ... locked doors? He only just now noticed them.

Why was Phoebe slamming into them? He looked up to the older gryffindor, but he wasn't sure slamming into a closed door was really a smart move. Letting go of Ivy's hand probably almost as quickly as he had grabbed it instinctively he made his way over to his older housemate to offer his two knuts. Or was about to when he heard the shouts from the corridor about opening up the door and they can have their professor back ??? UH??? Which professor?? And why did they want to play with a bunch of children?

"Phoebe..." Apollo spoke, his voice quivering. "What ...what about ... did you try ... alohomora." It seemed obvious, perhaps, but sometimes the best guarded secrets were locked with the simplest things. Also, it was a charm that he actually knew. Wait ... did she have her wand? He heard Ashley whimpering about missing her wand? Was that why she was slamming into doors?

The spells flowed from her wand, each adding another layer of protection to the room. Each one felt like a prayer. Salvio Hexia. Let no one who seeks to do harm make it into this room. Protego Maxima. Please keep us safe. Fianto Duri. Give us strength. And all too soon their efforts were going to be tested.

The taunts from the neo-alliance angered Neva, but she swallowed that down, willing herself to remain calm. "Keep well away from that door, please." This was really bad. Really, really bad. "Alright, those of you that wanted to help, this is your moment, okay? We need you now." Even the younger ones. Even they could do something. "Miss James, try Aberto, Alohomora, and Liberare. Try every single locked door, okay?" Neva had no idea if those doors would lead anywhere, but if there was a chance, they had to take it. "The freezing charm. We all learned it this term. You used it against moving targets in class. Even the youngest of you can use that right now, okay? Don't forget that. Older students able and willing to fight, please come forward. We could use every wand we can get." Some already had, helping with the charms to fortify the room as best they could. She hoped they'd be equally willing to defend themselves and those around them if it came to it. "We're going to get through this if we work together." How she managed to sound confident in this fact, she didn't know, but she was thankful for it.

Phoebe James was too good for this world, did she know? Actually, Cece knew the answer to this question and it hurt her heart that her best friend couldn't see it. If they survived this thing, she was going to make it her job to remind her as much as possible just how much she couldn't have handled all this without her help. They'd talked so much in private about feeling on the outside and about not feeling chosen, but somewhere along the line they'd kind of chosen each other and that meant everything.

Wiping at her eyes, the blonde nodded her head and pushed herself to her feet. She couldn't imagine any spells that she performed right now were going to be strong, but she was going to try.

......

Oh no. Nooo no no no. Cece felt her heart drop into her stomach as the sounds of the neo-alliance arriving filled the room. They were right outside and it was only a matter of time until they got in and there were so many little kids in here...how were they going to protect them?

Panicked, the blonde looked around the room for guidance. Professor Carton was saying something about staying calm, but she was beyond that point right now and conjuring anything felt way beyond her capabilities at the moment. And that's when she saw Flynn move towards Kale and MF... and Yoyo, Yoyo was alone, and she shouldn't be alone right now. And Phoebe was saying something about locked doors and if she was right, maybe they had a chance..."I'll help trying to unlock the doors. We will." If Schmoe wanted a team for the task, Cece was in. She went over to Yoyo and offered her hand to her. "We're going to help Feebs, okay? She needs us." And they needed her and the distraction and to help. At least Cece did.

most go mad within weeks

While half the group focused on the idiotic blonde professor who thought she could take them all on at once, the rest of the group had continued working on the protection spells keeping them out of the office. Their hard work was about to pay off...

The protection spells that had been keeping them out fell in a split second, allowing them entry into the small office. For those who want to fight - here's your chance! And for those who don't...I'm sure there's places to hide in here, right?

Just kidding YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM US!

The Alliance members let out a CHEER of victory as they started to trickle into the room, laughing maniacally and sending out stunning spells in excitement as they began their attack.
