"OWWWWWIEEEEEEEE!" Annie whined, trying to twist her head out of Less' grip and failing miserably. "Dat hhhhurrrts," she cried, glaring daggers at the blonde.

"YOU'RE A WITCH!" the redhead yelled, spitting all over her face now. She used her free hand to give Less and nice, hard slap on the face. And then she slapped her other cheek, and kept slapping from side to side. "LET. ME. GO!!!"

Amanda wandered up to the seventh floor corridor and wondered what all the commotion was, what she saw definately had surprised her. Professor Lupa and Professor Bunbury fighting, jeez.. this was absolutely nonsense. Never the less, she was still amused here. She shook her head and smirked, ah fighting dirty never really got you anywhere, if you wanted to win, you had to outsmart your opponent.

"Not going to HURT him," Cope reached for the niffler again, but he couldn't reach. "I was going to just... hold him." He pulled out his pocketwatch fob and dangled it for the little creature.

"Well, they're acting... not their age, right? So don't reason with them, because children don't do reason. We have to reach them at their level. Challenge them to a race. Bribe them with that candy. Can we do whatever we have to do?" He looked up at Anna, but he was starting to worry about Cela.

"Cel! Race the professors to the mirror!"

He stepped down from the tower stairs to his office. Professor Kapoor would've very much enjoyed taking some time to finally visit the library as he had been meaning to do for quite some time now. When he turned into the corridor, he froze. Two heads of houses, two wrestling witches, one niffler hiding, and a partridge in a pear treeeee! Everyone seemed to being enjoying the moment immensely, including the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff prefects as well as a Slytherin and two Ravenclaws.

Yup. Just another day at Hogwarts Castle.


Placing his hands into his pockets, Kapoor stepped around the scene whistling something with twittering notes and carried on down the corridor.

Paris screamed and jumped into Cope's arms when Cela pulled a scorpion out of her pocket. "Are you crazy?" She asked the girl as she cling painfully to his neck making sure he was between her and that bug.

She was torn between getting the points of helping Anna with her plan. Not fair! She sighed and handed over the bags. "Ok I will take the points." She told him. "Its ok," she told him. Well at least he was sorry for almost breaking her hand.

"So far, I've 5 on Bunbuns, and 6 on Less."

"GO BUNBURY GO!!" Eddie was rooting it on, jumping up and down. "GET HER!!!"

"Why?" Cela's voice was loud enough to carry, "They won't win! I'd get to the mirror and back before they coud get there." Cela folded her arms across her chest and bounced some, mentally calculating if she could make a detour and still get their first. "All talk." she told Cope, gesturing at the professors with her chin. She looked at Paris and frowned. "Him won't hurt you." Cela told her sweetly, nodding at the Scorpion on her forearm.

Well this had to be the funniest thing she had ever seen, Kayla watched the two females with obvious amusement. And the other two Professor's taking bets. Looking at Robert, she burst out laughing. "I can't believe you were stupid enough to get between two girls when they are in the middle of a fight, they would have ripped you to shreds." Why did she all of a sudden want to start chanting, fight, fight!!!

"Right, right...," Anna replied, turning to look at the professors once again. If they didn't do something quickly, Professors Bunbury and Lupa were seriously going to kill one another. Cope did make perfect sense, though...as usual. They needed to stoop to the level of an eleven-year-old and challenge the professors in some way. "Well, I thought I could bribe them with those treats Paris has, but Professor Vindictus caught her before she could get away. Looks like she's working out a deal with him now, though." Anna glanced over at Cela and nodded. "We can always race..."

Amanda rattled her coin pouch in her pocket, wondering if she should place a bet on Bunbury since she was totally rocking this fight. Pondering that decision, she continued to watch the fight with a look of amusement on her face.

Robert looked at Forrester and saw he was serious. Betting against the Professors? Was that even allowed? "Umm...6 on Bunbury I suppose." This was crazy!

Turning toward Kayla he shrugged, "Someone needs to stop them. I'm the biggest out of everyone here." It made sense to him. But now that he was watching them...maybe not so much. Kayla was right they would have went right through him to get to each other. Why were they acting so...oddly...?

He took the sweets and began munching on a cauldron cake. "Tho. Wat da pwan?" A few crumbs fell as Vindictus waited for Paris to talk and as he watched the fight. "HIWT HAWDAR!"

"Good, good." He made a note about that, 11 on BunBuns and 6 on Less.

"Any other takers???"

"You are sooooo gross!!!" She said to her and kneed her in her tummy. Her nails now were out, and she growled that inhuman growl... She let go of the pinchy spot to scratch her face, but kept pulling the hair until a handful of the red hair was pulled out.

Amanda took out her coin pouch with a smirk. "I've got 30 galleons on Bunbury." She said, rattling about 30 gold coins in her left hand. That was a sufficent bet since she wasn't going to bet huge to be smart. She tossed her coin pouch back into her pocket, putting her right hand back in the pocket as well.

"Um... hey?" It seemed to be the only thing Cope could say anymore, especially when he found two arms full of Slytherin girl. "The scorpion isn't dangerous, but you're safe. Can you... get moving, maybe? Try to lure at least Vindictus away?"

"Because there's a CANDY TREASURE at the mirror," Copernicus shouted, giving up on the niffler and settling back on his heels. "For whoever gets there first. Big treasure made of candy crowns and gummy jewels. But only the winner gets it!" Any takers? Other than Celandine, because she'd follow her future-diabetic coma at any cost.

"We have to pick them off, one by one. Should I grab Professor Bunbury, and that big Ravenclaw chap can grab Lupa?"

"Nice!" Eddie made a note of this new bet. "COME ON BUNBURRY!!!!!!!!!! KICK HER BUTT!"

"Well what would interest a bunch of kids?" Kayla shrugged as she thought about it. "What did you like doing when you were younger?" Perhaps they could persuade them with more candy and maybe some games.


"Oooh, I'll put ten on Less, I mean Professor Lupa" she said pulling some money out of her pocket.

Cela gave him a look that quite clearly said she wasn't an idiot, even though her body twitched toward the stairs at mention of candy and treasure in the same sentence. She was right though, she knew they couldn't win, because she had her glisseo shoes and could skate the whole way there. She eyed Professor Lupa though, she was looking... scary? Yeah. A bit scary.

Vindictus found himself on his feet. "WHAT? WHERE?" he shouted and turned to Paris. "You didn't tell me that! BUNNY! LESSA! STOOOOPPPPP! THERE'S A CANDY TREASURE!!!" He was now waving his arms like a madman.

"Ermm, yeah, a candy treasure at the mirror!" Anna shouted, following Copernicus' lead. I sure could use some extra chocolate frogs and jelly slugs right about now! I bet if we hurry fast, we can get first dibs on the entire stash! Who's up for hurrying to the mirror?" Anna raised her hand into the air, indicating that she was ready to take off running and challenge anyone who wanted to get to the supposed candy before she could. "I'm in!"

Looking back at Copernicus, Anna said, "Cope! You're a guy! You'll have to get one of these male professors. No way can Cela and I get stuck with Vinductus or Forrester. I mean, have you seen the muscles on the 'Claw?" Anna eyed the situation at hand, her eyes falling on the two fighters. "Then again, I'm not too sure I want to try and get in the middle of all that."

Robert looked down at Kayla thoughtfully, "I dunno...I always liked Quidditch." Though that was never used in his house for anything. What did he have when he was younger? Books...and plants...lots and lots of them too. He ran his hand through his hair and shrugged, "Erm...what did you like?" That's right change the subject Rob.

He nodded and wrote that down as well.

She shook her head. "You just stay over there." She warned her.

"I have no idea what you said sir," She told him as she shook her head at being his sugar supply.

"I've got 10 galleons on the Pink Punisher!" She told him.

She clung to him harder as Cela was moving around with that thing on her arm. "Yeah well I don't want to take my chances." She told him as she made sure to keep him in between her and that bug! Was she even allowed to have that thing in school. It could kill someone.

He was going to get them to run to the mirror room. She moved so that she was clinging to his back. She didn't want to get trampled by a stamped of hungry professors.

His flat expression right back at her said he wasn't fooled. If she wasn't with them, then she was totally on her own. She could just... go do whatever it was that was more important than taking care of her fellows. He shook his head and looked away.

"That's right, Professor!" Cope jumped to his feet and joined Anna in pantomiming getting ready to run. He did some lunges and stretches. "And I'm going to get there first and eat it ALL." He jogged in place.

"I was hoping everyone else would run after YOU... and maybe Paris so that they were the only ones left. Maybe start running and see if anyone follows?" He whispered to Anna before glanced over at the professors again. Would this work? Probably not, but...

"Or we can stupefy them all and float them. Your call."
