He looked at the girl that spoke to him. "I don't know whats going on. I'm sorry." he told her honestly. He was just watching what was going on.

"Megan!" Anna called out, waving the Hufflepuff over. She really hoped that was the girl's name. She'd seen her in class a few times, but they'd never spoken. "Lucas! We need you and Megan! Come up and put your hands on the crest, please!"

Megan laughed and hurried over to put her hand on. "Whats suppose to happen?" She asked but then after feeling the wall pulse let out an involentary "Oh"

Lucas looked over at Anna. "You want my help?" He asked walking over to the knot of students. He peeked over at what they were doing. He offered his hand to the crest. "Will this help?" he asked everyone.

"Thanks!" Anna said, smiling over at Megan and Lucas. "Yes, Lucas, it will help! Or, at least, I think it will. We'll have to just wait and see what this clue has in store for us. It can get very tricky at times."

Karma wandered into the Great Hall and noticed a group of students gathering around the wall where the house crests were. They were all standing around and commotion arose as the wall pulsated again. She jogged over and placed her hand on the crest too.

"Do you think that if all of us, deep down really believed, that this could work?"

Megan looked at the younger girl "Possible....its worth trying."She said looking at the others to see if they agreed "What harm could it do"

He wasn't sure what was happening but he was glad to be a part of it. He was tingling all over even if nothing happened. This was the most fun he had had since the Quidditch game.

Callie walked into the great hall wanting a cupcake, but got distracted once again by students gathering in one place. She decided the cupcake could come later. It was going to be there all night anyway.

She went over and saw Lucas and Anna putting their hands on something. She overheard them talking about a pulse and if they got all the houses. She counted and they seemed to have all of them represented though so their must be something else. She had an idea but it could possibly not work but she suggested it anyway. "Hey, guys don't mean to get into this, but perhaps we need a Staff Member like a Proffesor too. I mean that would technically represent everyone," she suggested.

Megan looked at the girl "That also makes sense" She said smileing

Apparently in his wall gazing, a lot seemed to have happened all at once. For starters, as Dominic was feeling around on the stone cold wall, he heard Anna approach him and question him. Nodding subtly, he agreed that yes, it was very possible for something to be back here. And likely too. Especially as he felt pulsing beneath his fingers.

"Anna! You felt that too?" he blinked, looking over at the older girl. "I thought it was just me."

Keeping his hand on the stone wall, the fourth yet let his eyes scan around as more people gathered to touch. Specifically at least one from each house, but wait, who was that other Hufflepuff? She seemed familiar and all, from classes, but that was really it. Odd. Too many people.... too close proximity.

Dominic heard someone approaching and making a suggestion about a staff member or something. Familiar voice too. Straining his head to look behind him, he gulped at the sight of the clumsy slytherin girl (Callie). He had to admit that it wasn't a bad idea, but he wasn't leaving this wall. Pursing his lips together thoughtfully, he finally opened his mouth to speak, "Well, perhaps you want to go find us a professor then? As I don't see any..."

Celandine stared at the crest with an expression of smug Ravenclawish satisfaction. She had thought it was the crest. She was added her hand to the crest too and looked around, bouncing in excitement.

"You know what is the coolest part of all this? Last term it seemed like we'd never be at Hogwarts and everyone was mad at the other houses and now look at how awesome we are and we are all friends and working together and I don't know about the rest of you but I feel like I'm a Hogwarts student first and a Ravenclaw student second. It's like last term with those clues from the different orders and we had to work together to solve them and get Hogwarts back." Cela gasped for breath after chattering without pause, sneakily slid a piece of candy out of her pocket and into her mouth; quiet for as long as it took to eat the thing.

Ross walked over to were the crowd were gathering and said "Is there any chance that my help is needed" if anything was happening ross wanted to be in on it all as he could possibly make some friends out of it.

Astrid was walking by casually, when she saw a group of her friends all gathered around the wall. They looked completely ridiculous and she couldn't help but giggle at the lot of them. Right as she was ready to ask them just what on earth they were doing, she looked up and realized where they were. Ah-ha! The map! This was the place. She thought to herself. As she made her way over to the wall, she noticed her boyfriend was part of the group and picked up her pace. "Ross, what is going on over here?" she asked when she got close enough.

"Well i dont know but they are getting people to touch that wall, come and touch it with me " Ross said walking over an dputting his hand against the wall slowly incase of pulses.

Astrid grabbed his hand and said, "Hold on just a second there. Why are we putting our hands on this wall?" She looked around, searching for Anna. "Maybe Anna can tell me what's going on over here." She reached up and whispered in his ear. "Have you guys been trying to find the Hogwarts Treasure too?"

Ross looked at the person that had grabbed his hand and was shocked who it was "Well yes" he said "Me and you can help each other" before he reached down and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Astrid giggled quietly and said, "Well, that sounds lovely. Are we just supposed to put our hands on the crest then?" While it sounded a little strange to say it out loud, that WAS just exactly what she had done earlier in the DADA classroom to find the last clue. She blushed when she felt his lips touch her cheek and said, in a mockingly shocked tone, "Ross, people will see." Then she giggled again as she made her way to the wall, so that he would know that she really didn't care WHO saw.

Ross followed her to the wall with his hand clutched in hers "Who cares if people see" He said as he touched the wall with one hand with his fingers touchig her hand and his other hand grabbing onto her other hand

She shrugged at Ross' comment and gave him a flirtatious wink. "Is there even anyone else in the room?" she asked, jokingly. Astrid thought that she felt something pulse underneath their hands as they placed them on the wall, but then again, she always felt that way whenever Ross touched her. Guess she would just have to wait and see what happened next.

Callie eyed Pompous boy (Dominic) as he tried to get smart with her about her comment. He could try ordering her around but it would not work. She took no orders from a boy who was a twit. "You know, you might want to shut your cakehole." she replied to him sternly. "All i wanted was a cupcake. If I hadn't suggested this Staff idea you might be here for hours trying "feel" a pulse again." she added wanting to stick her tongue out at him. "I can just get my cupcake and leave and let you go get some help yourself, but you seemed to attach to that wall. Probably the only thing that shows feels back toward you that are positive. Everything else you touch seems to run and hide."

She turned back to a more senseable person, Anna, not wanting to deal with Pompous boy. "Well. I guess I could try and find someone. I would think there would be a Proffesor or someone on staff in here anyway." she commented.

Jessica placed her hands on the crest together with the others, being extremely excited of what would happen next. She wondered if there really was a treasure.

"You're absolutely right! That was my first thought as well. It's awesome that we from all houses cooperate." Jess agreed with the younger Ravenclaw girl. Then it dawned on her that they haven't actually met up to that point.
"Cela, is it? I'm Jessica. Nice to meet you." the Huffie added.

Anna looked around, noticing all the students who'd recently assembled, and smiled. Everyone was certainly coming together to help out. It was refreshing to see the house unity that had come about because of this treasure hunt. "Thanks, everyone!" Anna called out. "I'm not really sure what we do next, but usually the clue leads us along. Hopefully, if we all stand here long enough, something will happen sooner or later."

The wall seemed to pulse again, this time giving a shudder in earnest. The crest beneath so many hands slid back into the wall and a large crack appeared, dropping from the ceiling to the floor. Centuries of dust and bits of stone flaked to the floor. From deep in the wall and floor, a rumble sounded.

"We did it!" Anna squealed, flashing a huge smile to all her fellow students. She blinked when she looked at the spot where the crest had once been. What were they expected to do now? "Let's explore this and see where it leads! I have a feeling we're getting really, really close to the treasure!" Anna reluctantly slid one hand inside the crack, feeling around to see if she could feel for the newly-created place before she explored it much further.
