Tonight's visit with his family took longer than intended - Desiree refused to settle down unless he was there to hold and sing to her until she fell asleep, and he hadn't the heart to ignore her cries, no matter how long they went on. He returned, only to find that his little black songbook wasn't in his jacket pocket where he always kept it. Great, now the lack of sleep was making him scatterbrained!

After several futile attempts to summon it and frantically turning his office upside down, he decided to check the staff room. He had to find it; he'd be the laughingstock of Hogwarts if that book fell into the wrong hands! He noticed a purple balloon tied to the door handle, but he was too distracted to question it's purpose. He'd just untie it and take it inside for now. Whoever it belonged to could claim it there later. Good Godric Gryffindor, that was hard to untie! He fumbled with the string until...

POP! POP! POP! POP! POP! The sound of hundreds of balloons popping in rapid succession startled him, and suddenly there was colored powder everywhere! In his hair, on his clothes, and all over everything else in the room. He blinked the powder out of his eyes as much as possible and looked around, but there was nobody else to be seen. What just happened?

Soon after his double Potions with Noble was over, Jace made his way up from the Dungeons towards the Library to do additional research on certain curse-breaking things. Mid-way through the stairs, he did not expect to hear popping sounds from the nearby Staff room. Hyper-focused as always on his studies and NEWT preparations, he had forgotten about last night's late stroll.

Where inside the bloody castle was Matt? Jace looked over his shoulder, only to decide against calling him out. That will definitely raise suspicion.

As calmly as possible, the seventh year wore a blank expression and walked a few steps away from the moving staircase to examine the scene. He couldn't see a thing from the outside as colored powder acted like a smoke screen.

Good Merlin, Matt should really see this.
