You enter through a pair of massive double-doors into a room that is decorated in various shades of white. The brightness of the place catches you off-guard and you avert your eyes to the pale ash flooring that is covered in expensive navy blue antique reproduction rugs. Slowly, your eyes adjust to the brightness of the room and you look around at your new surroundings.

On each side of the entrance are the rules of Cooper's School - each rule is framed in matching mahogany frames and lined up perfectly straight. The sitting area consists of white leather couches covered in plastic since boys are known to be messy creatures no matter how careful they are. Even the masculine armchairs are upholstered in white leather and covered in protective plastic. In front of the couches, is a massive mahogany coffee table that is devoid of any decoration except for a small silver framed rule that clearly states 'Keep all feet, food and drink off the table.' The fireplace is surrounded by an elegant white marble fireplace that has an hourglass perched on the mantle. Over the mantle is a massive portrait of Minister Brennan Cooper sitting in his favourite armchair in his study with a collie pup in his lap and several more of his treasured dogs sitting on the floor near his feet.

On the far side of the room, are massive picture windows that offer breathtaking views of the grounds and more of the white leather chairs covered in plastic are scattered about the area. Massive mahogany bookcases flank each window and are filled with Ministry approved books.

As you try to take this all in, you begin to wonder if you are in the correct common room since there is nothing proclaiming that you are in Ravenclaw House. You keep on noticing signs of 'Do Not Touch' or 'Hands Off' posted throughout the room. But off in a corner and blending in perfectly with the walls is a chipped bust of Rowena Ravenclaw sitting on a white pillar.

Cale sat up spitting out dirt and shaking his head much like a very wet dog. Dirt flew everywhere hitting Eddy and Sho and the Table behind him. Where Tobi had run off too, only Merlin knew. He probably had booked it out of here as soon as the bulbs started doing aerobatics on the chair cushions.

When the dirt finally cleared from his face enough that he could open his eyes without fearing he'd get dirt in them, he looked around the room. "Well," he said as a bulb bounced past unpreterbed. "I'd say that the Common Room looks better at least, wouldn't you?"

He glanced at Eddy, then Sho. Almost the entire white room had dirty smudges all over the place.

PharaohMan18 · 07-08-2008, 02:40 AM

"It's... An improvement. As long as it doesn't start smelling," Sho chuckled. "Though if anyone walks in, we're in deep doo-doo."

He just smiled and sighed proudly. Take that ugly school with your ugly rules and your ugly decor. Normally Sho would want to hose the place down, but not today. Not when there was trouble to be in!

Em's the Game · 07-08-2008, 03:26 AM

"Sho's right," Eddy agreed, rueful. What a shame. It'd be nice to keep the place a mess. He stood up and looked around. "Oh, I have an idea! We'll just wash it all off and sweep the water out the door!"

Before anyone could react, Eddy was flinging water spells at everything that moved and most of the things that didn't.

Hawken Terrell · 07-09-2008, 12:23 AM

"Eddy! NO!!!" He started waving his hands around. "No water in the common room!" Had Cale known better, he would have realized how much he sounded like the old prefect.

But it was too late. Water was everywhere, spraying everything. Cale even caught a burst of water in the face. The dirt on his face turned to mud and slowly started dripping down his face. His hands slowly slipped down to his sides. How they were going to clean this up now he hadn't an idea.

PharaohMan18 · 07-09-2008, 12:35 AM

Sho stood there dripping, arms crossed across his chest. This was just lovely... He was soaked and the room was... Well it wasn't clean. In fact, the water made it worse. A lot worse. Everything was slippery and muddy now with all the added moisture so they would really be in trouble.

"Lovely..."

Em's the Game · 07-09-2008, 01:17 AM

"Hmph. I would've thought it would all just....wash off..." Eddy tapped his toe thoughtfully, creating small muddy splashes. "Maybe we need more power. Like with a hose. And we can just spray really hard. Like muggles do when they hose down houses and decks and things." Eddy had spent one summer spying on his muggle neighbors.

He lifted his wand for another go...

Hawken Terrell · 07-09-2008, 01:23 AM

Cale was busy shaking is head like a dog again. Drops of muddy-water-mud sprayed around the Common Room adding to the mess. "I'm not sure that's going to work. I think we'll have to try a clean-" He didn't finish his sentence as Ed's water spell splurted across the room, hitting the painting of the ministry smack dab in the face. Cale's spirits sunk. That can't be a good sign...

Eddy was about to turn and spray his super water spraying spell around the room when Cale's hand clamped down on Eddy's wrist. There was a breif scuffle during which the spray of water went straight up and hit the ceiling.

PharaohMan18 · 07-09-2008, 01:27 AM

Sho ducked behind the couch, hearing the water jet out all over. Next up was the sound of squeaking shoes on the floor as the boys wrestled. This was a lot more than he had anticipated...

He slowly peeked up over the back of the couch and saw the painting dripping. The paint was getting moist and started to run a bit. That was definitely not good.

"Uh oh..."

Em's the Game · 07-09-2008, 01:46 AM

"Hey. Leggooooo!" Eddy shouted, trying to yank his arm from Cale's amazingly strong grasp. "It'll work! It will!" Both boys slipped on the muddy floor. The spray veared right, hitting Sho square in the face. A full pail of water couldn't have been any more efficient in soaking the young man more thoroughly.

Grunting and swearing, with Eddy insisting it would work, Cale and Eddy fell to their knees. Cale, stockier of the two boys and with abnormally large hands, was a natural wrestler. In a matter of seconds he had Eddy in a headlock, water-shooting wand arm wrenched back. The spray arched wide and far. From the right position in the room, one might have seen the sheen of a rainbow. Overall, the effect was that of a live-action water fountain. One emitting excessive American swear words.

druidflower · 07-09-2008, 02:07 AM

Tobi crawled out from under the couch where his debacle with the bouncing bulbs had left him semi-conscious when a jet of cold water hit him in the face, rousing him unceremoniously. It was then that he noted the two boys, one of whom had been responsible for luring him into the Ravenclaw common room in the first place, and another whom he didn't know, wrestling on the floor.

"Um, did I miss something? Are we done with the bulbs or did we transfigure them into a person?" He asked with a dry tone that didn't match the state of the room or its occupants.

Hawken Terrell · 07-09-2008, 02:11 AM

"Ed! Let - Go!" Cale said as he tried yanking Eddy around in the half-nelson he had his buddy in. "No more water - stop the spell!" It was no use - Eddy was determined to prove that the water spell would fix the problem in the common room.

Underneath his and Eddy's feet, a puddling pool of water was forming. He splurshed and splashed as he fought with his bud. "Sho - a little help please?!"

PharaohMan18 · 07-09-2008, 02:14 AM

Sho ducked back down as he was blasted in the face. Now he was even wetter than he was before! But he wasn't the only one at least. Tobi had gotten a face full as well. He could barely hear Cale over the water and commotion, but he did hear him.

"I can try!" he shouted, aiming his wand at the floor and tried to make the water evaporate. "Open a window!"

Em's the Game · 07-09-2008, 02:20 AM

"Awww, c'mon. Come! On!" Eddy was just annoyed now. Cale was heavy. Really heavy. You'd think a short guy like him..."Ooof!" Cale's knee came down in the middle of Eddy's back. Startled, the wand finally feel from Eddy's hand and went dry.

druidflower · 07-09-2008, 02:38 AM

Tobi might not have been a genius but these were the things that he had deduced from the few passing moments:

1. The boy that was not responsible for Tobi being in the common room was called Ed.

2. The boy that was not wrestling with Ed was called Sho.

3. The boy who was neither Ed nor Sho was a lunatic who should not be allowed to handle a wand.

Tobi stared around the room dumbfounded and shivering. Is this what they DO in the Ravenclaw Common Room? he wondered.

"So..." he asked casually, "does anyone know a good drying charm?" Anyone but the nutty prefect?

Hawken Terrell · 07-09-2008, 02:46 AM

Cale flopped off to the side and landed in a giant puddle of muddy water with a sploosh. He didn't hear the Gryffindor's question. He was on the other side of the room. "Finally - no more -errm....squirting water." He panted slightly and then flopped over onto his back making his feet flop into the air. They hung there for a split second before they came down to splash in the muddy puddle. Water washed up on Eddy who was face down on the carpet. "Eddy?" there was no noise. "Ed-man? Mate?" He picked his head up a little. His brown hair was now slick with mud and it was sticking up looking a lot like a Five-Finger-Fern. "Ed! Yo- you ok?"

PharaohMan18 · 07-09-2008, 02:50 AM

Sho got up and stumbled to a window. He opened it and started to force the water to evaporate into a big cloud that floated out the window as it condensed. It was working, but everything was still pretty moist in the room and it was a slow going spell. Then he noticed Eddy was on the floor still as Cale got up.

"Is he okay?" he asked, ushering the cloud out as it formed.

druidflower · 07-09-2008, 03:27 AM

"I'm not much in the way of a medi-wizard, but I'm pretty sure boys our age aren't supposed to stay still for that long." Tobi wanted to poke Ed to make sure he was in fact NOT okay, but he had learned from Care of Magical Creatures that things, particularly possibly injured things, were better left UN-poked. "Anyone got any smelling salts? Lavendar? Something particularly foul-smelling?"

You'd think the amount of water in the room would shock him upright...

Danny Boy · 07-09-2008, 04:59 PM

Barry walked into the common room "Who did this? This is my common room and it will not be a pigsty" said Barry he ran upstairs and ran back down with towe;s that smelt of rose water he threw one to each of them "I don`t care if your older then me start cleaning" and with that he got out his wand and started trying things like levitating the water or accioing it in the end he was rummaging through his spell book for a good drying spell in his spell book.

Zazu · 07-09-2008, 07:28 PM

Nigel walked in and before noticing he was the shortest person there he shouted, "What in the name of Merlin happened here?" EVERYTHING was wet, he looked around and saw a boy giving out towels. "Pass me one of them towels. We need to fix this before a teacher sees!"

"Don't you go yelling at me!" Cale spun on his left foot, muddy robes spinning out behind him in a big arch. All thoughts of making sure Eddy was alright was forgotten as he tried to make sure the three of them didn't end up in biger trouble because a firsty or a secondy set fire to the common room sofa (the fact that it was too wet in the common room for fire to take purchase didn't even occur to Cale).

His chest puffed up and he pointed to his prefect's badge which was currently hidden under a big goopy pile of mud and he took in deep breath ready to go on a long hard rant about how younger students should never yell at older ones because for all they knew, what ever they happened to have done, could have been a personal big - high-to-do research project for a class or for career placement! (A speech he had been given quite a few times by the old Ravenclaw Prefect - Juno Novak). Instead, he found the secondy levitating water and then dropping it in other places. Now he was rummaging through his book.

"What are you - stop. Out! Out!" He grabbed the one that was playing with towels and spun him around. A second later he was frog marching him out of the door. "You're messing up the natural habitat of my bouncing bulbs! Out!" He motioned for Sho to help with frogmarching of the secondy.

PharaohMan18 · 07-10-2008, 01:32 AM

Sho looked like a cartoon character at this point. He was evaporating water, sending the resulting cloud out the window, and was trying to get to Eddy to see if he had to switch spells. Then Cale wanted help with the younger kids who came in to try to clean up.

"Ack, I'm a tad stuck here, Cale," he said, stopping his spell to start up one to create a scent under Eddy's nose.

druidflower · 07-10-2008, 02:04 AM

Crazy as the non- Ed, non-Sho prefect was, it was two ittybitty Ravenclaws against him, and Sho seemed to have the task of reviving Ed in hand, besides, Tobi wasn't good with breathing things, so he stood with the crazy prefect.

"Honestly, you can't just walk into a room in the middle of a happening and start making assumptions." He added, "unless you have the Sight or something, you really don't know what is going on in here, and really, its not as if your own prefect doesn't know what is and is not allowed in his own Common Room."

Tobi made a shooing motion reminiscent of his mother, "Run along now if you're so afraid of getting into trouble, we know what we're doing. You heard your prefect."

Constantino O. Kolytiris was not skilled in many areas, but there were three things he was very good at. The first thing he was good at was drawing cartoons and alien creatures. The second thing was identifying foods just by smelling them (no really. he could list the ingredients of a cookie that had passed by not three minutes ago.)

And the third thing, the thing he did best of all in any given circumstance, was being oblivious. It suited him for practically every occasion, with the exception of anything that required attention.

Con was putting his third skill into practice now, as he wandered slowly down the stairs from his dorm room, running his fingers along the wet walls of the common room. I wonder what's for dinner. Smells like roast beef. With thyme and rosemary potatoes. . . no, that's sage, definitely sage. Hey! Looky. It's Cale and Eddy. They're my friends so I should say hi. At least, I think they're my friends. Aren't they? Maybe I should double-check.

Cautiously, Con approached the mad scene before him. "Hey, guys! How ya doing?" He waved a hand, unbeknownst to him now dripping with wet white paint from the wall. For good measure, he squatted and waved at the unresponsive Eddy-on-the-floor, and the other boys that were standing nearby. "What's going on. . . 'peeps'?" Yes. That was good. Using modern lingo would certainly get him 'in' on the action.

Danny Boy · 07-10-2008, 01:42 PM

Barry looked up from his book "Well if it hasn`t occured to you this is the only common room I have and I don`t like it wet. Now if you are older kids then you would help out and clean this mess: he said then he threw a towel to the firstie that had asked for one "I`m doing my bit so you do yours" he snapped he was very angry at the moment and wasn`t in the mood to argue now he had reached the last chapter and was looking for the spell.

Em's the Game · 07-10-2008, 02:46 PM

Still face-down, Eddy lungs suddenly rexpanded and he gasped in equal parts air and water. This immediately resulted in gagging/choking. He weakly pushed himself over to his back, while his entire body convulsed trying to simultaneously take in air and push out muddy water.

This was how things went when one's muscle-heavy friend performed a professional wrestler's knee-to-the-back move. Eddy would've been impressed if he hadn't been so distracted. Trying to breath was an all-consuming task.

It did occur to Eddy, in a hazy, illogical sort of way, that he was surrounded by shouting boys and nobody seemed all that concerned that he was drowning right there in the middle of the floor. Maybe they were debating whether they ought to save him or not. One of the kids sounded kind of angry that the room was muddy. Maybe that kid wanted Eddy to die.

What would his hero, Willie Walker, do in this situation? Not even Eddy's over-active imagination could follow that interesting line of thinking. There just wasn't enough oxygen in his lungs yet. But he'd definitely be pondering that later and come up with an emergency plan in case of future near-drowning by muddy rug incidents. After all, 'luck favors the prepared.'
