"What's this for, anyway?" Because... and in-school water park would be brilliant.

Smiling a little, Jake looked at the turnstiles again. "I don't think anyone has tried putting in another coin..." He glanced at Anya, chewing on his lip. How many knuts were there to a galleon anyway? And would the machine allow that many people through it for the one coin?

Questions, questions.

Yawning, he shrugged a shoulder. "I guess we have to pay to get into our common room now."

She was not paying money to enter her common room. No way. "I'll sleep in the corridor if I have to." Also, she called dibs on Jake as a pillow, okay? And if Anya had issues with that, they could divide his body up into sections or something. Maybe.

But no paying. Nope. "Anyone tried jumping 'em yet?"

Hearing another familiar voice, Jake looked over Anya's head to see Ali. Who... was announcing that she was going to sleep in the corridor. "You won't be alone, apparently," He said, looking pointedly at the others that had chosen that same option.

As for the jumping, though... "I was going to. Then I thought about spy movies and things and decided I wanted to keep my body the way it is." No bruises or anything else that might happen if there was some sort of security measures around the turnstiles.

You know, in case Jake was just a slacker?

Oh! Good idea!! "We could! Someone who won't mind the long distance either." She wasn't about to volunteer. She was still stuffed with ice-cream. "But...will we have to sleep outside otherwise?" If so then she would need a comfy spot. Her kneazle had showed up so she was fine.

Turning his attention to Lexa, Jake narrowed his eyes at the girl. "I'm sure nobody else knows, either." At least none of the prefects. Ali didn't know, so that meant the Quidditch captains didn't either. The professors might, but clearly there were none of them around.

As for sending someone to get one, though, Jake still wasn't totally on board with his own idea. He didn't want to bother anyone... and it'd be really embarrassing if they did and the Gryffindors were the only ones having issues. Maybe they could go to find the other houses and see if they had figured out a way to bypass the turnstiles?

"I don't know," he said quietly, "We'll just figure something out."

Well, this was so unbelievable! The sixth year just shook her head, "I can't believe this. They didn't even tell us before." she said, and stood there frowning, with her hands on her hips. "This is so not fair."

Thankfully, that was when Ira showed up. Jake turned to face his fellow prefect and crossed the space over to her (taking Anya with him), a frown furrowing between his eyebrows.

"Some of them don't have any money on them. We can't just stay out here... can we?" He kept his voice calm, but he hoped nobody else could hear him. He didn't like being so obviously unprepared and un-leader-like. But... at least Ira clearly didn't know what was going on, either. So that made Jake look a little more responsible. Right?

"You mean...you don't know this was supposed to be here?" she asked, surprised. What kind of prefect was that? NO NO. The oh-you-dont-have-a-batch-let-me-give-you-one kind. "IS THIS ONLY HAPPENING HERE OR NOT?" she asked. She wanted to know. If this was only the case with the lions and not anyone else, she...argh..she just wanted to know what was happening.

Holding back a groan, Jake shook his head. "Nobody knows what's going on here. Please keep your voice down." Honestly. He was getting a headache. "We're trying to handle it and get everything sorted out. Just hang tight for a bit." He flashed another look at Ira. Help?
