Potions Storeroom

[Biochemkris]

A small cupboard is wall-to-wall shelving that extends to an impossibly high ceiling considering it's in the dungeons. The shelves are covered in dusty jars and phials. Better be careful if you take something, you'll probably leave fingerprints.

Copernicus had spent ages and ages wandering all over the school. Or not ages, but it felt like it. He was now... in the dungeon. Crazy. And here in the dungeon, he'd wandered until he found the Potions classroom. And now here he was, staring at the phials and flasks and knowing with his heart in his throat that he wasn't going to do anything in here. He couldn't take a single thing without permission, and so he was going to go back to his dorm empty-handed.

[Biochemkris]

Profess... Headmaster Bontecou (he was still having trouble wrapping his head around that one) was heading toward the disjointed sounds of a piano being badly played when he came around a corner and spotted the door to the potions storeroom was open. Hmmm... Well, at least he'd found his office. He chuckled to himself and then peeked in the door. he cleared his throat. "Hey."

[Cassirin]

Copernicus turned with wide eyes and spotted the Headmaster. WAIT! Why was HE here? What was the Headmaster doing prowling the halls looking for rulebreakers? Not that he was one of those. No, Copernicus was a rule FOLLOWER. Absolutely. "Good day to you, sir. I... this is a very interesting organizational system here. The Potions Master is quite clever."

[Biochemkris]

Rey grinned and stepped inside, pulling a vial off the shelf. "Thanks, I always thought so. I enjoy coming up with new ways to organize the supplies," he said and moved the vial up a shelf and over 3 spaces.

[Cassirin]

Well, that explained what the man was doing here. HE was the Potions Master. Curiouser and curiouser. "Yes, I can imagine that might be a quite relaxing endeavor. I didn't move anything. Just so you know. Although I bet you already can tell."

[Biochemkris]

"Yep. There'd be a bare spot," he said, pointing to the spot of undusty surface left by the recently vacated vial. He blew some dust over the spot. "Just in case," he winked and pushed up on his glasses, leaving a dusty smudge where his fingertip brushed the edge of the lens.

[Cassirin]

"I..." Copernicus had his ramrod straight posture in place, his chin up as if standing at attention. "My housemate sent me on a quest."

[Biochemkris]

"Oh... a quest? What kind of a quest?" he asked, laughing a bit in his head at the poor kid. He looked wound tighter than a... something wound up real tight.

[Cassirin]

"She wants me to find Peeves and ask him for lotion. But another housemate told me that Peeves is a poltergeist and hard to find. And she said that if I did find him, I'd wish I hadn't. So I have two problems to this task, sir. The first is that I can't find the poltergeist, and the second is that I don't have lotion. So I thought I'd make her some, but the only supplies I can find belong to you."

[Biochemkris]

He did laugh then. "Oh goodness," he laughed and then took the boy by the shoulder. "Here's what you have to do. Go on up to the ancient runes office and ask Professor Lupa for some lotion. Tell her Rey sent you," he winked.

[Cassirin]

"Ah." A new quest. And one that wasn't scary. "Yes, sir."

[Biochemkris]

He smiled and clapped the boy on the shoulder before closing the storeroom and locking the door this time, just in case. "Well, you'd best be off. I need to attend to some other things now," he said, hearing voices to go along with the disjointed music now. Headmaster Bontecou walked the few steps over to his office (former?) door...

[Amira With a C]

Camira walked over to the storage cupboard, ready to get some calendula oil. She quickly learned it was locked. Great. She wished he would have told her that. And given her a key. That would have been nice. "Alohamora", she said firmly, grinning in surprise when the door actually opened. She had thought it was going to be harder than that. Oh well, she was not going to complain. She read through the ingredients, taking a moment here and there to marvel over the more impressive ones, until she came to the calendula oil. Perfect. She carefully took a bottle of it, making sure not to bump anything in the process and stepped away from the little cupboard. "Colloportus", she said quickly. Hopefully that would lock it back up. Now, back to potions class.

Ludo stood outside the door to the storeroom. He tried it once more. Locked.

He sighed, disappointed that he couldn't get it.
"At least not by myself..." he thought, looking down at his wand. He was unsure if any spell or charm he knew would open it, but his want to get inside didn't call for such action....did it?

Ludo stood outside the door, uncertain of his next move.

Time passed on and he decided to leave. He took the stairs back to the upper floors.
