She eyed Savannah as she showed the Professor the map. Her eyes were suddenly flickering between Vannah and the Professor. Imagine what could've happen if Savannah had left with Anna, and with the map? Yeah, nothing too nice, probably.

Kaika felt something wrong with her chair, and looked up as the Professor spoke again, "Well, this wasn't a muffin from this table...I grabbed it from that one" she said, pointing to the Hufflepuff one. What was she doing still seating? She wondered whether or not this was the Professor's chair, "Umm, excuse me, Professor, is this your regular chair?" she asked, before standing, "Sorry to be seating there" this time her face held a serious look on it.

And there was Dominic. Eyeing the wall? Well, the X was behind the table, so maybe he thought it could be something in the wall. Who knows?

He pulled the chair aside and looked over everyone. "Map or no, this is the staff table. I don't mind you looking about, but touch nothing. Is that understood?" With that he grabbed a muffin and a cup of coffee before leaving.

"Who you callin' deputy, mister?" Celandine responded with a grin.

Cela looked up as she heard an adult voice and felt Dom-in-ic pop out of the seat beside her. She willed herself smaller and stared up at the professor wide-eyed.

Cela watched the professor leave and stood up... in the chair. She hoisted herself over the top and stood on the ground behind it, watching Dom-in-ic make friends with the wall.

Actually behind the chair was a good idea; if Nico wandered into the great hall he wouldn't immediately see her and throttle her.

Though... the chairs at the staff table did give her another idea for her fellow pirates.

Camira blinked as Professor Carracio came and went. A brilliant answer by Kaika though. Eating a muffin. She shook her head and sighed. How were they supposed to accomplish anything if they weren't allowed to touch.

She raised her eyebrows at Dominic as she watched him touch the wall. Maybe he was on to something? Or he'd gone mental. Either way, it was interesting.

Jessica felt reliefed after the Herbology Professor went away. Fortunately, they weren't going to be punished. At least, not for the time being. Together with the others, Jess looked around, trying not to touch anything.

She heard Vannah's idea that the Headmistress herself might be what they were looking for, but to her it seemed a bit awkward. However, she agreed with the fact that they should go talk to her.
"If the idea still stands, I'd like to go with you." she told Anna and Dominic.

So, the Professor said not to touch anything at all. How was he suppose to know whether they did or not? Well, she didn't want to get in trouble, and he probably had his ways of knowing so, either way..."Well, he said not to touch anything in the Staff table..." she started to say, "...but not the things around it, like that wall Dominic is so fond of" she said, gesturing towards the Huffie boy.

Finishing the last piece of her muffin she heard Jess...Umm, were they still going? Since she was staying, she couldn't answer to that, except with a little shrug, as in to say 'I don't know'. And continued looking around.

Barry said "I don`t think its the headmistress but seeing her is a good idea maybe she knows something about the staff table that we don`t. If you guys are still going I`ll come"

Following the others into the Great Hall Nancy felt even more excited than she had before. This was it. This really was it. Watching the others contemplating about the possible whereabouts of the treasure Nancy scanned the Staff Table for something unusual, something suspicious. Without much success, though.
Trying to be as unconspicuous as possible Nancy tried to not attract to much attention from the Herbology professor since he probably wasn't too fond of her considering her lack of interest in his subject. Whatever.

Nancy watched Dominic with her head slightly cocked to the side and a confused look on her face as the boy began to touch the wall behind the staff table. Then an idea came to her mind. "Uhm, I'm not sure but maybe it's under the Headmistress' chair?" Okay, probably not that original but it was worth a try right?

Ross noticed the girl that he had seen earlier in the day at the staff table so walking up to her he tapped her shoulder and said "I passed on your message to the headmistress but she wouldnt tell me anything about this treasure instead she asked me to ask you to tell me". Then looking round he said "So here i amcan you tell me what this treasure is....what these clues are and can i help?"

What if it wasn't in the Great Hall at all? What if they searching for the treasure in the wrong place? What if..."The kitchen!" Nancy exclaimed suddenly her eyes full of excitement. Yes, it would make sense, wouldn't it? Looking at the others expectantly Nancy was waiting for their reactions to her, in her eyes, awesome idea.
Okay, maybe she should have explained her sudden outburst better or at all, actually. After some moments Nancy bit her lip and added, since nobody had apparently understood what she was talking about, "You know, doesn't the kitchen sorta look like the Great Hall as well? With the tables and such? Maybe the map wasn't a map of the Great Hall at all but it might be a map of the kitchen. Maybe?" Hopefully the others wouldn't think that she was talking complete nonsense right now but their map might really be a map of the kitchen, right?

"Its a possibility but seeing that we immitate muggles sometimes wouldn`t it be typical for it to be actually in the ground? But yes I think we should split up a third here a third downstairs and a third to inform the headmistress of what we`ve found out? " asked Barry . Where was the treasure? He wanted the treasure

Anna sighed, feeling frustrated that they were once again getting nowhere. Noticing Dominic looking along the back wall, Anna hurried over to where he was. "You think it may be back here?" Anna asked, placing her hands along the wall, as well. She moved left and right along the wall, wondering if something would possibly open up and reveal further help---or even the clue.

"So, we're splitting up now?" Anna asked, having just heard what Barry said. "Are you still coming with me to get the headmistress, Dominic? It looks like they're all wanting to split up now."

The bare stone wall was cold to the touch when the Hufflepuff boy put his hand there, right beneath the ornate Hogwarts crest. It almost seemed to pulse just slightly when the Gryffindor girl put her hand next to his. Was it real or imagined?

"Dominic!" Anna squealed. "Did you feel that? The wall...tell me you felt that!" Anna turned and looked towards the rest of the group. "Quick! We need a Ravenclaw and a Slytherin! Dominic---don't move!" Other than the turning of her head to see if she could spot any Ravenclaws or Slytherins nearby, Anna stood perfectly still, her hands resting in the same spot they'd been in moments again. She looked at the wall carefully, almost as if she was daring it to open up and reveal something more.

Camira quickly ran over to the wall. She had no idea what was going on, but apparently something exciting. She just knew something was going to happen. She felt it in the air. "What is it, Anna", she asked excitedly, putting her hand on the wall. "

Anna blinked and glanced over in Camira's direction. In all the excitement, it took her a moment to register the girl's question. "Oh, erm...the wall...it just seemed to pulse a little when my hands got near Dominic's," Anna explained. "I figure that if he's a Hufflepuff, and I'm a Gryffindor, we could test the possibility that we need someone from all four houses." Anna turned her head once again. "Ravenclaw! We need a Ravenclaw! Dominic...Camira...don't move," Anna said.

"Coming!" said Barry and he scrambled to the wall and put his hand on the near Annas "Is that right? or is it the wall and the crests?" he asked.

Mari was enjoying a slightly solitary moment when she noticed a bit of a commotion at the staff table, involving Anna of all people. She watched them for a moment, her expression one of interest as that vaguely familiar Hufflepuff boy went to the wall next to Anna. Not one to miss out on something as interesting as whatever it was that was going on, Mariska stepped up when she heard them call for a Ravenclaw.

Walking over quickly, she pushed her dark hair behind an ear as she stopped behind Anna." What's going on, and what's this I hear about a Ravenclaw being needed?" She asked, noting that they both had their hands on the wall.

She watched as another Ravenclaw, a boy came up and put his hand on the wall, and she watched with great interest as they all seemed to be anticipating something...amazing.

Lucas watched with interest the students that were near the staff table. He didn't know what was was going on but they seemed to be messing around with a wall. He wanted to know what was going on.

"Okay, everyone! I have to be honest here. I have no clue whatsoever if I'm right, but just keep your hands right here, near the crest. As a matter of fact, it may help if we put our hands on the crest," Anna explained. "We'll see in just a minute if this is right. If it's anything like what happened to Astrid, Cale, and I in the Defense classroom, the clue will sort of lead us along." Anna moved her hands over just a bit and placed them halfway on the wall and halfway on the crest.

The wall pulses again as each hand is added to it, but nothing else seems to happen. Once again, the wall is simple stone and the crest above polished wood.

Megan walked in and noticed a group of kids touching the wall she also saw a young boy watching. "What are they doing?" she asked the little boy

Barry placed his hand on the crest and the wall pulsed but nothing else happened "Anna I don`t thing the treasures behind there maybe when it was made which was about 1100 years ago or something it was designed like this? I`ll keep my hand there but I don`t know if it`ll work" he said Hand placed on the crest. Now maybe he had to believe in house unity well he did deep down didn`t he?

When the wall pulsed again, Anna's eyed widened and she instinctively moved her hands to where they were positioned completely on the crest instead of halfway on. She looked around at her fellow students, pleading with them to follow her lead and put their hands on the crest, as well. She may not be right with what she was thinking, but they'd find out soon enough.

"It's here, Barry. I just know it," Anna responded. "It may not be the actual treasure. It may just be another clue. Who knows... All I know is that we have to have house unity to get it. It can't be done with just one, two, or three houses."

Mari thought a moment, her curiosity working easily on her. The wall had seemed to pulse a bit...she reached out over the younger Ravenclaw's hand and she put her hand on the crest, wondering if it would do that weird, pulsing thing again.
