Alessia began to giggle at the scene. She sunk down to the floor and started playing with the hem of her robes humming a little tune she used to sing with Penelope when she was younger...

Penelope? Kazimeriz's attention was jarred away from the students and his hold on Vindictus by the sound of humming-- that tune, so familiar... He turned suddenly to look. No-- not Penelope; Alessia. He relaxed palpably at the site of her, though was suddenly hit by a wave of concern. Why was Alessia behaving so much like... well, like a child? "Alessia?" he asked softly, his eyebrows furrowed in concern. He realized himself a split second later and refocused his wand just in time to keep from dropping Vindictus on his head. "Alessia, what are you doing, dear?"

Ross walked up the staircase were he was met by utter carnage, 'Thats just Great' He thought to himself as he saw Professor lupa sitting on the stairs humming a tune, the remains of what looked to be a fight and a not happy Kazmeriez levitating what looked to be a body.

Alessia looked up to Papa Valon and smiled, a glassy look in her eyes... And then she sung the eerie little tune she had been humming...

"Often in the dead of night,
When the wicked moon is shining high,
When the winds are strong and howling,
And we hear the werewolf's cry,
In the quiet and dusky room,
By the flickering of the firelight,
Rising up from the bedroom,
Comes a ghost, a vision in white."

She then continued humming to her godfather, her eyes fixed on his.

Paris dared a look around the Ravenclaw and Abby to get a look at the Professor Lupa as she was singing and humming on the floor like a little girl. It was a funny sight and it made her wand to sit next to her and sing along. But she was too scared to move, she didn't want Kazimeriz to hex her.

Kazimeriz furrowed his eyebrows, watching Alessia. "Alessia, are you feeling alright?" He watched her, worrying.

Abby sees Professor Lupa sitting on the floor singing. Kazimeriz almost drops Vindictus trying to help her. Abby gets up and walks over to Professor Lupa. Professor Kazimeriz can hex her if he wants. Abby sits down next to the professor. "That's a pretty song. I've never heard it before. Can you sing some more for me?" Abby smiles. "My name's Abby."

"I know you're name's Abby, silly..." she said as she stood from the floor. She twirled about, her arms extended high above her, and she began dancing around her Papa Valon, continuing the eerie song.

The sweet transparent ghost dances;
And, when her little legs tire,
she stops and breaths in no breath
while she sits staring into the fire.
The flame now dances for her
reflecting bright in her clear eyes,
She smiles as she hears a snore,
so she drifts to where her heart lies.

Abby stands up and watches Professor Lupa dance around. What's happening to the teachers?

Ross started to hum the tune but soon stopped and walked up to his Defence against the dark arts teacher and said "I know you want to hex me but i need to ask you 1 thing...what is wrong with her" while pointing at professor lupa.

Paris looked on as Abby asked Professor Lupa to keep singing. "Is she crazy?" She asked herself softly. And to her utter amazement Professor Lupa stood up and danced about and kept on singing. She stood there with her mouth hanging open looking looking at the scene unfolding before her eyes.

Abby listens to the lyrics to the song. I talks of werewolves and what sounds like an out of body experience. She looks at Professor Kazimeriz. He looks different more human and less professor and auror. "Professor, what does the song mean?"

Karma stood there as her began to scold her, with her head lowered slightly.

"Sir, I didn't think it was fair for us to be hexed, and do nothing. He would have done it again, on orders or not. It wasn't fair for us to be hexed without cause, for wanting to know what's going on."

She never got to finish her explanation, when the strange sight appeared.

Karma's mind strayed away from the so called "unruly" defense she just did, to the teacher who was slowly regressing in age. Her eyes turned to look at Kazimeriz to see what he made of it.

She walked slowly forward to the Professor and the Hufflepuff, and kneeled down next to her. Spirits, and ghosts and talking about drifting away.

"Is this a song that your mother used to sing to you?" she asked the Professor softly.

Herminny was walking by the 1st floor corridor when she heard a strange little tune and looked back to see it was the Ancient Runes teacher singing to the DADA teacher and Vindictus floating in the air next to them. Herminny wondered what this could be all about but all in all she did not really care, she just smiled thinking finally Vindictus was getting what he deserved and thn she left the scene for she did not want Kazmirez to see her or he would probably hex her or alter her memory and she did not want to get hurt or forget this scene, she wanted to remember it for years to come and had no plans to inform anyone of what she saw cause she did not want it to end, she liked seeing Vindictus in this state.

Kazimeriz's only response was to brush past the boy, stepping down the staircase to return to Alessia.

"Alessia... please-- please do not-- she cannot-- " he stopped short as Wright interrupted him.

"It does not concern you!" he snarled at the girl, his dark eyes flashing dangerously at her.

"To your common rooms NOW! Or by Merlin you will WISH points are all I have taken from you!" Kazimeriz fumed. He turned back to Alessia, his hand out to her. "Alessia. Stand up. Come with me now, please. Addams-- you will come with us." He still needed a second wand, and Alessia was obviously no help in this state. The obviously unnerved professor returned his attention to the still-hovering Vindictus, waiting for Alessia so he could get Vindictus' fate handled. The sooner the better.

Abby looks at Kazimeriz with disbelief. What has he got planned for Vindictus? "Yes professor, you will take good care of Professor Lupa." Abby turns her attention to Professor Lupa. "Get better professor please."

Seymour watched the Runes professor, glancing around at everyone else. Everyone was treating it like she was sick or something-- was it really something to be worried about? He listened closer to the lyrics, letting the words sink in. Hmmm. That was interesting... and dark. Disquieting, even. He furrowed his eyebrows slightly as she started to dance, right there, in the middle of the corridor-- he had seen Annabelle do that before, but never a fully grown adult... was she posessed or something? Oh noes!

He opened his mouth to say something to the professor, but as he looked up at Kazimeriz, he realized that he was absolutely not happy with the students commenting on it; and promptly closed his mouth again. No, no, he didn't want to go down that road. "Yessir." He nodded at his orders to follow them once again, focusing his attention on the other students who were supposed to have gone to their common rooms already. "You heard what the professor said. Go on. Shoo!" he squeaked, eyeing them suspiciously.

"Yes, Papa Valon. I'm sorry... I was only playing." She said with a sweet smile. She twirled again and then moved closer to her godfather. "Don't be mad... I'll be good."

With Alessia now obedient, Kazimeriz began to climb the stairs again with his victim aloft ahead of him. "Addams, Alessia, follow me. We must hurry-- I do not want him to wake until we are there."

"I can stunn him if you wish me to Papa Valon... I'm a professor... I'm wicked smart!" She said and stuck her tongue out at Uglyboy Addams. That boy needed a paper bag like she needed another bloodpop!

"Professor are you shure that you do not need any help" Ross asked "I am trustworthy and i will do anything that you ask of me" 'To an extent' Ross continued but made sure he said the last part in his head.

"Yes, sir," Seymour nodded to Kazimeriz, beginning to journey up the stairs again, when the runes professor-- stuck her tongue out at him?! He merely blinked at her, stopping in his tracks a little bit. Surely he didn't deserve treatment with such malicious intent? Next thing you know, she'll be going around blowing raspberries at people... and when that happens, you know the neighborhood has really gone downhill. He tore his eyes away from her and quickened his pace a little, keeping his wand out in case any student tried to stop them... again.

He stopped on the staircase, turning around slowly with his wand raised. Honestly. "When the professor ordered you to go to your common room, I don't think he was inviting you to help. Come on. Have some sense about you." He shook his head disdainfully, glancing down at the patch on the student's robes. Well, that explained a lot... Hufflepuff. He aimed his wand at the boy and gave it a sharp flick, casting a stunning spell.

Alessia agreed with Ugly Addams, who's first name she couldn't remember. Not important... she turned herself to Ross and said to him, "Yeah Ross! Listen to the professor and Igor here... go back to your common room." She said and giggled... Igor... Ooo she should take her wand out and grow a hump on his back!!!

Abby had to laugh at Professor Lupa's comment about the Slytherin. Lupa's crazy alright-crazy like a fox. Abby's tempted to hit the boy with a Canary Transfiguration Hex, but with the mood Kazimeriz is in, he's liable to hit her with the Cruciatus Curse. She can't get the song Lupa sang out of her mind.

"Often in the dead of night,
When the wicked moon is shining high,
When the winds are strong and howling,
And we hear the werewolf's cry,
In the quiet and dusky room,
By the flickering of the firelight,
Rising up from the bedroom,
Comes a ghost, a vision in white."

The sweet transparent ghost dances;
And, when her little legs tire,
she stops and breaths in no breath
while she sits staring into the fire.
The flame now dances for her
reflecting bright in her clear eyes,
She smiles as she hears a snore,
so she drifts to where her heart lies.

"Lupa sang that song on purpose. She's trying to tell us something..."


Abby goes through her bag and finds Professor Ashby's poster. She finds an empty space on the wall big enough to handle it. Abby places the poster on the wall. She traces the poster with her wand and says "Adhaero" over and over until the poster sticks to the wall. "Perfect!"

"Alessia, mind your tongue. " he scowled in disapproval. "Addams, you have permission to hex any student that gets in our way, follows us or refuses to follow instructions. Come, both of you. We must hurry."

And with that, he moved swiftly up the stairs, favoring his bad hip heavily as he continued to direct Vindictus with his wand.

ooc: follow me to the hosp. wing?
