What in Merlin's Beard?! Term 34 (2080-81)

[Hera]

A bit confused about the plot? Housemates talking about a mysterious something going bump in the night? Here's where you can 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; that kind of chat goes in the school chat thread.

Have fun!

There's something different about the plates at the opening feast.....

If you're the type who pays attention to dishes, you might also notice that the place settings seem different than those of last term. Is it just you, or are those Dixie plates, Solo cups, and plastic silverware??? What in Merlin's beard...!?!

(Quoted from the Slytherin table, of course, but it's at all of them, even the staff table )

[lazykitty]

The Headmistress has made her speech:

What if it was accidentally cute like some baby things WERE and then she wanted to keep it and just GOSH she couldn't even HANDLE that thought.



Well well well, look who decided to show up. "Josephina," Annie returned the greeting quite stiffly. Now that her four Head of Houses were here... finally... she could begin the speech.

The redhead stood.

"Good evening, everyone," she called out with her voice amplified as always. Annie did her best to perform her speech exactly as she had rehearsed it earlier, with her vocal tone even and her smile firmly fixed in its place. Not too cheerful, but not too serious either.

She didn't want to scare all the students away now that they were here, after all.

"As you might have noticed, tonight we have... a bit of a different setup in the Great Hall. We have disposable plates, cups, and sporks this evening, but I have to ask that you do not throw them away at the end of the feast, students." The redhead wagged her finger seriously. "That is your ASSIGNED dinnerware set for the duration of the entire 2080 school year. Due to an unfortunate series of events over the summer, Hogwarts has been forced to make some cutbacks for this term. Some things, like our fine china, we had to sell in order to have sufficient funds to keep the school functioning. Some other things we had to get rid of entirely. You might have even noticed that we have a new Deputy Headmistress," Bentley, yep yep, "and two Hogwarts Governors serving on our staff pro bono."

She took a breath and glanced toward Vinteren and Knox. "Please be nice to them, students. They're volunteering their time to teach you. Additionally, for mysterious reasons," which she had yet to get to the bottom of, "our house elves, save for one, have resigned for the term." Disappeared, more like, but well, she didn't want to worry the sensitive kids out there. "That is why YOU are responsible for washing YOUR dishes AND for not losing them. There will be no replacements." She looked toward the Hufflepuff table as she said this.

"And so with that, I invite you to make the best of the situation, as we're all in this together, and to enjoy the feast. Thank you." She promptly took her seat.

In fact, the chicken is dry and flavorless, the mashed potatoes are a sloppy, boring mess, the broccoli hardly seems cooked at all - and there’s not even cheese on it! And on top of that, the butterless bread looks more like bricks of charcoal. Not only does the food look and taste somewhat unappetizing, there’s hardly any variety.

On the bright side, there’s loads of ice cream! Bowls and bowls and bowls of ice cream have appeared along the center of the table amongst the lousy dinner dishes. Good thing your mother isn’t here to make sure you eat your undercooked broccoli before dessert!

How exactly do you wash paper plates? #homealoneface

[sweetpinkpixie]

Hmmmm....What is this man up to?

Then he tickled the pear, checked that the house elves were otherwise occupied what house elves? heh, and quietly grabbed one of the empty wooden bowls and spoons.

The man reached into the interior pocket of his suit jacket and pulled out a small, plain plastic baggie of what looked like tree leaves. He dumped them out into the wooden bowl, vanished the baggie, and started to crush them up with strong strokes of the spoon. It took a few minutes of hard labour, but eventually the leaves broke down into small, intricate pieces.

Now came the fun part. Erik moved over to one of the long counters, one that happened to be directly below a vent near the ceiling. He hoisted himself up onto the counter, picked up the bowl, and removed the vent covering with a little sneaky wandwork. The man then poked his wand into the little wooden bowl and murmured an incoherent spell. Small blue flames sprang from his wand onto the alihotsy, which let off a light, colourless, but pleasant odour as it slowly burned.

Erik smirked to himself and carefully placed the bowl into the vent. He replaced the covering and proceeded to remove all fingerprints from the area with a little more wandwork. Then he hopped down, also cleaned off the counter and the spoon, and exited the kitchen. Still invisible, but much more pleased with himself.

The turnstile will then unlock and will allow you to pass through and get into your common room.

OOC: The turnstiles will be seen by everyone regardless of year, house, or age. You must make at least one post in here before posting elsewhere in your common room this term. If you don't, watch your back.

PLEASE NOTE: You CANNOT go around, under, over, etc. the turnstiles. Not only are the little bars physically blocking your path, but they also as a whole act as an invisible force field barring you from your common room until you pay. Please cooperate with this portion of the plot or your posts WILL be deleted.

~Mysterious~ turnstiles appearing the Common Rooms and Great Hall...

And things just keep getting worse for Slytherin students:

Good thing it is not too far a walk from here to the dungeons?

What could that be, hmm?

[DaniDiNardo]

Just when things looked like they couldn't get any worse REPO-GOBLINS. BOOM.

Quote:

She ripped the list of collection items into fourths, handing them each a scrap of the parchment and keeping the last for herself. "You know what to do. If any students get in your way, make them move and keep working. Our sole purpose is to collect." They knew.

With Hogwarts taking out loans and such, going broke and not paying the bank back.. Merlin, they knew this day would come. Quazi and the others were only doing their job in keeping Gringotts' running as well as it had been before the school's vault was emptied.

"Everyone know what to do? Good. Let's get a move on it." And with that, the female goblin marched through Hogwarts, ready to perform her task.

[hermionesclone]

REPO GOBLINS ON THE MOVE.

Observatory:

Quote:

That would be worth loads of money, she assumed, and she wondered how much they could sell it for as she made her way up to the Astronomy Tower with her Extendable Carpet Bag. The female goblin entered the Observatory (unlocked? Hah. Wizards) and stepped inside, heading over to the giant telescope and shoving it in her bag.

Ah. Were those small ones, too? The ones that weren't crusted over with rust and dust, Merlin knew those wouldn't sell for much, looked like good pickings. Were those supposed to be on her list, too?

Quazi glanced around, then dropped those in as well.

What next?

Tea Room:

Quote:

Originally Posted by Quazi

With her telescope(s) in the Extended Carpet Bag, Quazi made her way to the next tower, the one that smelled strangely like tea. But she wasn't looking for a warm drink, no, what good would that do her for selling? Instead, once she reached the room, she glanced down at the parchment again. Crystal balls? The female goblin looked around confusedly for a bit before locating the closet and entering it, finding the balls almost immediately.

"By the hairs on Urg the Unclean's filthy head, these'll be worth a fortune!" Her exclamation was quiet and excited, and Quazi's eyes lit up as she reached for them. Each, one by one, was cautiously dropped into the bag next to the telescopes, and she took great care not to break them.

Perfect. This was going quite smoothly.

Portraits:

Quote:

She stared at the first portrait she came to, tried to forget about the occupant, opened her carpet bag, and shoved the portrait inside.

One down...bunches to go.

[Tazzie]

GOBLINS everywhere! And now we have this at the Corridor to the Courtyard?!

What do you think this creature will take? *insert spooky theme music here*

[Bazinga]

A few goblins were missing from before..

Hourglasses.. OUR POINTS!!!

Quote:

Oh the children.

At least these weren't trying to steal the jewels back like the pesky children that kept trying to steal the plants back in the greenhouses. And one of them wanted Hemlor to take him to her leader. That would be pointless of course. And then one thought it wasn't theirs. Well it was now since the stupid Hogwarts people wouldn't pay off their loans.

"The jewels belong to us," Hemlor said as she swung the sword at the next Hourglass. It was the one with the pretty yellow topaz in it. Sticking the bag underneath to collect the raining jewels she also mentioned to the children. "And silly children, the sword is just for breaking open the hourglasses." It wasn't as if Hemlor would actually use it on the children. She wasn't cruel like that.

Headmistress waiting area:

Quote:

On the next floor, Tumplin made her way to where the Headmistress' office was. She heaved a sigh. Her bag was already getting quite heavy and there was all this furniture she needed to collect!

After another sigh, she started with the lamps, making sure they were out and slipping them into her carpet bag with the portraits.

Healer's Office:

Quote:

Sturnik casually strolled into the Healer's office. He nodded a small nod in greeting before looking around. Oh. The chair and the desk were currently occupied. He'd just start with the other items first.

"Don't mind me. I'll be out of here in a second." he said swinging his bag to capture some of the loose chairs in the room.

"I'll need the desk too. If you have any important documents in it, I'd recommend you remove them now."

Greenhouse 8:

Quote:

The first item on Hemlor's list was to get some of the man eating plants that were located in Greenhouse Eight. As she made her way there she realized that the greenhouse she was targeting was extremely protected. Though using some of her goblin magic Hemlor managed to break the door down.

Now for the plants. Looking throughout the greenhouse she saw a section of man eating plants and walked over towards it. There she began to pile the plants into her bag.

[Goblinfrog]

It looks like the goblins even want the Fountain!:

Quote:

But fortunately her bag had an undetectable extension charm on it so the fountain would fit. Hemlor just had to figure out how to get the fountain in there in the first place. It could be fixed to the ground.

Walking up to the fountain Hemlor prodded it with her toe a couple of times to see if it was fixed to the ground. It wasn't. So now she just had to lift it up somehow and place it into the bag.

[lazykitty]

The weird breeze that's been cropping up everywhere is now causing FROST in Professor Airey's class!

Has anyone checked for dementors?!

Also, no quotes right now, but why are certain students becoming obsessed with...... ice cream?

[BanaBatGirl]

Meanwhile, in Hogsmeade:




Come one come all! Please donate to save our school! Alumni and parents welcome!

[DaniDiNardo]

If only they believed the students when they said the forest was lonely and needed cheering up. *shakes head*

Sad spider.

Sad spider sunk to the ground with another shiver. Sad spider wanted to go home. But sad spider was too sad to move.

But WHY?! Is it the annoying kids.

[lazykitty]

And the school's ice cream epidemic just got worse

"Eeeeeeeeeeevening, Miss Somerlad," he greeted the Slytherin. Nice shoes.

"Evening, Miss Logan."

Man!Gasp! Was that a yawn on the young lady's face!? No no no no nooooooo this would not do! "SUNRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISE SUNSET....SUNRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISE SUNSET," he sang loudly as he swayed her back and forth when he walked behind her.

Awake now? Hopefully.


"Evening, Mr. Tempus!" Airey greeted the young Hufflepuff enthusiastically. "Well I certainly hope I do not disappoint!" Because crushing the energy of this little Hufflepuff would be SO depressing.

Crushing all student energies would be depressing really.


"Evening, Mr. Stinson," the astronomer greeted the boy with a quick salute. Oh? Was that his cue to strike a pose? Instead he sort of lifted his foot a bit and wiggled it back and forth.

"Goooooooood evening, Miss Campbell," Airey greeted with some more bouncing and humming. The man had ENERGY to burn.

GERMS! THERE WERE GERMS FLOATING AROUND HIS CLASSROOM NOW!

"You alright there, Miss Hyde? Do you need to see the Healer?" Well, not NOW since Cece wouldn't be on duty, so tomorrow? Or....day after tomorrow? He wasn't too sure he remembered the Healer's schedule properly. "I'm doing faaaaaaaaaaantastic." Minus being confused about a few things, but still doing well.

"Evening, Mr. Summers! Stellar flying out there," he said, offering the boy a salute as well.


"Time to turn that frown upside down, Mr. Stark!" Airey GRINNED at the boy. Not even this lad and his usual black hole of an attitude could upset Airey today.


Oh! YOU! We have things to say to you! "Evening, Mr. Kinsley," Airey greeted the boy as he frolicked over to beside his desk. "May I see you after class. I have a few things I wish to discuss with you. Nothing bad. I promise. I'll even provide the ice cream."

"HEEEEEEEEELLO, Mr. Charlton," Airey BEAMED. "I've been doing a little charms experimentation." JUST in case the boy was wondering if Airey was really going to follow through with said ambition.

Checking his sundial watch one last time, Airey gave his wand a quick flick to close the door to the classroom. "Alright, let's get started," his voice boomed through the classroom. Making his way front and center, Airey furrowed his brow slightly and his expression turned very VERY serious. "To start things off I have a VERY important question to ask, WHO WANTS ICE CREAM?!"

STAY AWAY FROM THE ICE CREAM!!!!!!!

[BanaBatGirl]

This Terms Prefect Event is Finally Here!

Click HERE for the event if you dare.

OOC: The thread will be open from now till the 10th of July. DO have you charries come! The Prefects and Captains really worked hard and hope you all enjoy! <3

[DaniDiNardo]

The next to evacuate the Forest, centaurs! Maybe they'll enjoy accommodations in a certain Gryffindor's Dormitory

The forest was unnaturally dark and cold and the centaurs could no longer stay there. The unfathomable evil drove them out of the forest.

Toren reared in frustration and the others followed sending their hooves thundering into the ground. NO doubt the vibration vibrated across the ground with their neighs.

[Luna_Midnight]

Hmmm...Wonder what he did?

Silently, he listened to her express her anger through her crossed arms and dramatic sighing. It was so Ivy of her.

"It's not my intention to cause the children to upset you, Ivy." Naturally. "But vhe ice cream...does factor into my long-term plans for Hogwarts." He came closer to her table and rested his elbows on the edge, leaning in and folding his hands together. "It's necessary for vhe children to be overly happy, at least for a little while longer."

Also what is he up too??

It seemed winter or something more sinister had not yet left Hogwarts.

Something's happening at the Prefect's Fundraiser!

Gliding without a sound, they flew towards their victim - one Arithmancy professor - bringing more icy chills with them. The dementors began to feed on the professor, moving closer and closer to the woman with each pass.

OH NO!!! Quick. Everyone run!

They're sliding across our grass. Snatching our Professors up.

[Govoni]

That was the signal.

Scabby hands recoiled back into their black cloaked forms and they floated backwards and vanished into the darkness of the Forbidden Forest.

At least they're gone...

...for now.

It was well past lunch time.

What's this? Dementors at the game?

Quote:

Especially the one giving pounds on the back to an equally happy boy.. And they were faaaaar from the not-so-happy boy yelling and taking his wand out.

The dementors swooped in on the green-clad pair, preparing for a delicious feast.

RUN! Theo and West!

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!

Quote:

Originally Posted by Do they never stop?

Rattle. Rattle. Rattle. Preceded by their loud breathing, several of the shadows revealed themselves. Silently, scabby hands reached for their hoods.

STOP LAUGHING AND RUN West and Theo!

As the bear prowled around, threatening to pin them down, the dementors began to sloooooowly retreat.

That's right dementors. Don't mess with the Head Boy and the Flying Professor!
