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.

Peering into the spare office, Apollo surveyed the room for a moment before stepping inside. Good enough, he thought. He simply needed an empty room where he could test out some spells with his wand without affecting too many people, and this seemed out of the way enough to suffice.

Ever since his wand had been hit by a stray spell during the Dueling Club activity the day before, it had been acting differently. Nothing too out-of-the-ordinary thus far, but he could feel the difference in the sluggish way it responded to him, or in how it didn't quite perform as he intended even with spells he had mastered in first year.

Fortunately, it was nearly time for the Christmas holidays, so he would be having his father, a wandmaker, examine it once he got home. Getting a better read on the state of his wand would be useful though. The more information he could give his father, the more likely it could be repaired. And he was certain it could be. Surely it would not need to be replaced entirely. Given the option between keeping his wand or acquiring a new one, Apollo would prefer to keep it. He liked this one.

Grabbing a borrowed goblet from his bag, he knelt down to set it on the ground. Aguamenti seemed like a harmless enough spell to test. Glacius had crossed his mind as an option too, but he'd decided against it. Ice could be damaging or harmful if it hit another person, or himself, especially if it came out too strong. Water in its liquid, at least, was less immediately damaging, and hopefully could be more controlled.

Goblet in front of him, Apollo pulled out his wand and aimed it into the cup of the goblet. "Aguamenti," he said, imagining a gentle stream of water flowing from his wand into the goblet.

Nothing.

Hm.

"Aguamenti," he said again, keeping that image in his mind. And water ERUPTED from his wand, the force of it knocking over the goblet and the wand slipping from his hand.

Newly freed, the wand was flung about the room like an unruly water hose, water gushing forth continuously, soaking the rug, splashing off the walls. His robes were soaked too, but that didn't stop him from chasing after it. Grabbing for it, it kept dodging him, flinging one way and then another and another and another. The floor was quickly growing slick from the water, which only made it even more difficult to grab his wand.

Merlin's socks, this was embarrassing.

Xerxes heard a commotion as he was walking down the Sixth Floor Corridor. It was coming from an used classroom on his left. As he opened the door and began to ask "Is everything ok in he.........", a powerful jet of water sprayed him in the face. The floor, being slippery by this point, seemed to fall out from under him.

This was far more than he had bargained for. From the floor, Xerxes looked up to see a boy trying to grab a wand from midair as it spouted the jet the water that had slapped Xerxes in the face a few moments ago.

Xerxes took out his own wand and cried, "Finite!". The jet of water stopped at once. The wand fell to the floor with a dull splash.

Diamond swept into the spare office like she owned it because, well, in spirit and most certainly in her head, she did. A glittering orange notebook tucked under one arm, quill in the other, her heels made satisfying little clicks on the stone floor. She’d come to polish off her next Witch Weekly articles in peace and reread her Ministry acceptance letter. Maybe sip a butterbeer ― she had purchased a bottle during the last Hogsmeade weekend and it was just taking up space in her trunk currently ― while she worked. Maybe manifest her Pulitzer with sheer presence alone.

What she had not come for was—

"WH—!"

In a split second, her foot met the glossy, soaking-wet floor, and gravity betrayed her. Down she went. Arms flailing, notebook flying, the back of her robes catching like a cape before she landed with a resounding splash on her back. The shock of cold water soaked straight through her layers and into her soul. Worst of all? Her hair. Her hair. Her beautifully styled, just-moisturized curls now frizzing into war with the universe.

A strangled yelp followed by silence.

...and then...

"EXCUUUUUUUUUUUSE ME—" she snapped, sitting up, soaked through and fuming, as a rogue jet of water ricocheted off a bookshelf behind her. Her eyes locked onto the source of the chaos and felt absolutely NO sympathy for either of these misfit anklebiters.

"Are you dueling a mermaid in here? Stupidly trying to make your own swimming pool? Or just trying to murder everyone's dignity one puddle at a time?" she growled, dragging her soggy self upright with all the grace she could muster. Which, given the circumstances, was still about a hundred times more elegant than anyone here deserved.

They were lucky she didn’t press charges for Crimes Against Hair.

And then another travesty was noticed.

"UGH! Of course...OF COURSE. Because of you lot I’ve broken...no, shattered several nails and I’m fairly certain at least three vertebrae are misaligned. And for what? A slip-n-slide spell in the middle of WINTER?" She tossed a soaked curl over her shoulder with righteous fury. "I always knew you Hufflepuffs were chaos in cardigans. All that wholesome energy is just camouflage for clumsiness."

She paused just long enough to wring out her sleeve with a theatrical sigh, eyes narrowing. There was only one Hufflepuff she didn't mind hanging around her all he wanted and he wasn't even technically a Hufflepuff anymore.

The rest? On probation. Indefinitely.

Xerxes had barely recovered himself when another, older student walked in to the unused office and she herself fell over too. When she got up, she began to tirade both himself and the other student; who hadn't even had time to respond to Xerxes yet.

"What are you yelling at me for? I just walked in a few seconds before you did. When I arrived, a wand was spewing a jet of water everywhere. I'm in the same boat you are. So I'd thank you to tone it down with the reprimands, if you please. And I'm looking up the spell to clear up all this water right now. So just a moment......" Xerxes said, a little indignantly.

Xerxes rifled through his textbook, looking for a spell to clear up water. He could probably use a Vanishing Spell, but that was far beyond the Transfigurational capabilities of a First Year. So in the meantime, he perused the book for an Evaporation Spell or Drought Charm that would suffice.

Here’s to a nice quiet day, she mused to herself as she moved around the vaulted room. Aurora was busy straightening up and setting things in place in her classroom for an upcoming lesson when she couldn’t help but hear yelling coming down the sixth floor corridor. Grabbing her attention with a jerk of her head in the direction of the door, the transfiguration professor quickly moved to investigate the disturbance with a sigh. What in Merlin’s beard was going on? Had she jinxed herself that easily? Even without the raised voices it wasn’t hard to pick out the source of the noise…a spare office that wasn’t too far away from the Transfiguration rooms.

Of course the scene she was greeted just outside the room that was supposed to be empty certainly wasn’t what she expected, water having already seeped across the threshold. Though thankfully she managed to catch herself with both hands on the doorway before she could slip on the water- soaked floor, the woman carefully picking her way inside to see three students in the middle of the roughly contained chaos. A quickly placed impervious charm keeping the edges of her robe from soaking up liquid. “Wuid anyone care to tell me jous what happened here?” she asked the two Hufflepuffs and Gryffindor combined just a tad perturbed. The Scottish woman was keeping her temper at bay for the moment…but it was probably best to not try it.

It was just his luck that other people happened to be around to witness this.

Then again, perhaps the luck was more good than bad. Apollo was not adept at wandless magic yet, and his wand had proven that it would ignore his actual intentions anyway, so perhaps it was beneficial to have another person around to assist.

He was soaked through by the time the Finite was cast, but still he was careful as he stepped across the room to retrieve the now fallen wand. "Thank you," he said to the boy.

Wand in hand, he took a moment to study the room. Under ordinary circumstances, he would cast something to vacuum or dry up all of the water, but given the current finicky state of his wand, it was wiser not to. Perhaps seeking the help of a professor would be-

The entrance, and subsequent fall, of an older girl interrupted his train of thought. Apollo was about to offer an apology and a hand to help her up, but...she kept talking. A lot.

"Or just trying to murder everyone's dignity one puddle at a time?" "Of course, that was my intention," he said, his face remaining neutral, but there was a dry humor in his tone. He had certainly murdered his own dignity in this moment - or rather, his wand had. Only the pink shade of his ears belied his embarrassment.

He only half-listened to the rest of her complaints - though he did note the alliterative description of "chaos in cardigans," which he found amusing - and to the boy's indignant response. Apollo's attention was instead taken up by looking around the room, assessing the damage. It was then that he noticed the overturned goblet, and he picked it up in his free hand.

And then...there was a professor, right on time. This would save him the trouble of seeking one out.

"This is my fault, professor," he answered without hesitation. "My wand has been behaving strangely since it was hit by a spell in Dueling Club yesterday. I'm not sure what spell it was, but it wasn't from my dueling opponent." It had come from a different direction, and he assumed it was an accident, mostly because he did not see a reason for someone to target him maliciously. Either way, he would not accuse anyone without evidence. "I was attempting to gauge how badly affected it was. I thought Aguamenti would be a safe spell to test out-" he held up the goblet "-but my wand took it to extremes." As seen by the state the office was now in.

Xerxes chimed in after Apollo had finished. "Then I came in and saw what was happening, so I immediately cast 'Finite' on the flailing, spraying wand to stop it. And it WORKED! But then some other girl came in a slipped a little, I think. Then she got really upset......and then you came in Professor."

He looked around the room. It had all happened so quickly. You wouldn't know just by looking at it that not a few moments ago, the room look perfectly normal. It was amazing just how quickly it could descend into a state of utter chaos.

"So I believe everything is alright now, we just need to clean up a bit. But no harm done, really. I'm just a first year, so I don't know how to clean stuff up with magic yet. But if someone could teach me, I'd be ever so happy to learn."

Viv had only intended to poke her head in and get some quiet for sketching—but instead she got a face full of freezing backsplash and a front-row seat to the most unexpected magical hose fight this side of the Hogwarts kitchens. She slipped in behind the commotion just as that older Gryffindor student flew (graceful in theory, dramatic in practice), and Viv winced in sympathy—though secretly admiring her fury. She actually had a point about Crimes Against Hair.

Viv leaned against the doorframe, dripping at the cuffs and watching the scene unfold as if she’d stumbled into a comedy of errors: a runaway wand, flustered Hufflepuffs, a very cross Gryffindor, and now a professor casting Impervius with a sigh that said this had better be explained in three sentences or less. And then there was Xerxes, bless him, who was so eager to help that Viv almost handed him her Drought Charms notes right away.

But mostly she just smiled to herself. Because only in a castle full of twelve-year-olds wielding wands could you walk into a mystery office and discover an unintentional indoor monsoon.
