Cela twitched again when Anna started yelling about candy treasure too. She knew what was going on, she knew it wasn't real, but she soooo wished it was. They'd manage without her, right? If she slipped away? Cela's eyes trailed over to where the niffler was hiding before turning to Paris as she spoke.

"Stay over here or what?" Cela asked, genuinely curious. She picked the scorpion off her arm and brought it up to her face, giving it a little kiss and returning it to it's perch on her shoulder.

Cela skated from side to side, glad she was wearing her glisseo'd shoes right now.

Shooting a somewhat confused look at Copernicus, Celandine made a face and turned on her heel, starting to skate up the corridor. "If there is a candy treasure, I'm going to get there first." And if they didn't follow? She'd try to find a normal professor.

"Shooooo?" Bunbunz sputtered, coating Less in drool some more. But AHA she stopped pinching at last - YESH! Annie ignored the emotional pain she felt upon seeing a hunk of her precious red hair in the other girl's hand.

No matter - this was an opportunity! Thinking fast, Annie whipped out her wand and pointed it at Less' nose, intending to cast Furnunculus or something on her face, when she heard something....

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?"

"CANDY TREASURE?!" Anastasia yelped, jumping up from Lupa without further thought...only she knocked the wand up Alessia's nose accidentally-on-purpose.

"Take me to your caaaaaandddddddddyyyyy," Annie ordered in a robotic tone, poking Copernicus' chest with one pointy finger. "Candy candy candy candy choklit candy candy candy candy. Is it a candy mountain? I laik candy mountains."

Candy treasure??????? SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (no pun intended) "LADIES, STOP! We can finish this later." Yes, please.

Max ran over to Bunbury's side. "Yeah, Cope. Lead us to this candy treasure. I want chocolate. LOTS OF IT AND I WANT IT NOW!"

Robert stared in astonishment as the fighting ceased at the mention of candy treasure. Glancing around at the professors and down at Kayla he burst into laughter before covering his hand over his mouth and leaning down toward Kayla's ear. "Or that I suppose," he whispered. Leaning back up he looked at Cope, grabbed Kayla's hand and walked over, "Alright...we'll help." Oh yes..he did just volunteer Kayla. He smirked and looked at her

She climbed off his back as al the professors looked like they had that crazed candy look in their eyes. "We better make a run for it." She whispered to Anna and Cope. She looked at Cela as she pulled a chocolate frog out of her pocket. "You can have it if you come with us." She told her as she watched her kiss that bug.

Cela skated back, took the chocolate frog with a 'yoink' and headed toward the stairs, skating as fast as she could.

Less stood... covered in drool. That was it! She was evil!!! But... candy treasure mountain??? She ran to hug Paris and wiped drool all over her... then skipped towards the other professors, and as she took her wand out, she aimed it at Bunbunz hair... casting a silent diffindo charm.

Ooh, they were finally getting somewhere with Professor Vindictus! Anna glanced over at Cope and smiled. Thank Merlin for Ravenclaws. "That's right! You heard the boy! Candy treasure at the Mirror of Erised! There's so much candy that I don't believe we could eat it all if we tried. We'll never be able to tell, though, unless we give it a try!" Anna raised her hand into the air again and added, "Who's game for running to the mirror and getting all the candy before the rest of the school finds it?!?!"

"Now would be a good time to run to that mirror," Anna mouthed to Paris. Paris had the rest of that candy, so she needed to get there and pretend it was the long lost candy treasure. Anna glanced down and noticed Cope doing a few stretches and lunges in preparation for the run to the mirror. "Let's go, Cope! Five...six...seven...eight...nine...ten!" she yelled, counting off his exercises.

"We're absolutely not going to stupefy the professors!" Anna exclaimed, scared of the very thought. "I'll...I'll run, I suppose. What if they don't follow, though? Have we considered that?" It was quite likely the professors wouldn't follow, as they really hadn't cooperated much so far. "Oh, forget it. On the count of three, you get the professors...if needed, Cope. I'm off to the mirror! One...two...three!" With that, Anna ran to Paris, yanked a cauldron cake from her bag, and took off. "I'm headed to get that candy treasure!!!!!"

"Oh gee thanks for that Robert" she said dryly as he dragged her over to Cope and then she gave him a mischevious smile. "WELL LAST ONE THERE MISSES OUT ON THE CANDY!!" she yelled and pulled her hand from Robert's and turned on her heel and sprinted down the hall. "Come on Robert, I won't be saving you any" she called as she hit the stairs.

That little tart, Paris thought as she watched Cela skate away with her choclate frog she was about to run after her.

Paris was caught in a storm of Bunz drool and Professor Lupa. "Ewww!" She squealed as she tried to wiggle out of her grasp. She felt like a used tissue when she finally let go of her. This was utterly gross.

She shook herself like a dog and turned to run toward the mirror. "I've got the candy!" she yelled. as she turned and ran down the corridor after Anna.

"Please, Pernipants, let's go nowwwwwww now nowwww, please please I'm so HUNGRY!"

Annie was literally bouncing on her tiptoes, moving around so much that Less' spell just barely hit her left elbow and sliced it open.

"YOWWWWWWCH MOTHER of a MANTICORE!" Anastasia screaaamed herself hoarse. "PAPERCUT! Papercut on my ELBOWWwWwwWwWwww!"

She sank to the floor, clutching her elbow with her other hand as juicy lil tears spilled onto Copernicus' shoes. "It hhhurrrrtttsssss."

Robert caught the look Kayla gave him and then his mouth opened as she pulled her hand out and ran down the hall. Smirking he took off after her and caught up with her easily. "The problem is Kayla...I've got longer legs." He said with a laugh and smirk as he passed her and headed down the stairs. "And you knowwwwwwwww I won't save you any!!!"

Less giggled watching the woman. "I win, I win!!!" She said bouncing! "Bunny down!" And she laughed harder following the other professors.

Elizabeth wandered out of the common room, leaving the celebration or what was left of it behind as she had heard chaos out in the corridor. One hand was holding some chocolate from the party, while the fingers of her other hand were idly twisting the chain of her eagle necklace. But as she stepped outside, she saw half of the school's professors racing down the hallway after what looked like Robert, Copernicus and others. And Professor Bunbury was on the floor crying about a papercut or something.

Quietly walking over, she looked down at the Herbology professor. "What hurts?," she asked, before crouching down a little to look at her better. This was weird, all the professors acting like kids, but she couldn't help but feel sorry if Bunbury actually was hurt.

Neo flattened himself more against the wall behind the suit of armor as someone tried to reach for him. He could have bit the hand, but the scent was completely new; this person hadn't tried to hurt him. Whimpering lightly, Neo's light brown beady eyes watched the hand and then he saw the pocketwatch. Not FAIR, they all knew his weakness!

Neo slowly started to get up so that he could grab the pocketwatch, but before he could get close enough the pocketwatch was taken away. Sighing, he sat back down on his furry butt. The boy who had tried to get him out was walking away...he didn't want to play anymore. Shucks...

But still, he continued to peer around the statue at the large, crazy group of people. It was a mad house over there! Oh look...it looked like they were starting to lead them away...

GASPno! Annie slowly, slowwwwwly turned her head to glare down Less as she snuck away. Sneakily, the redhead scooted down the corridor to her wand, grabbed it, and muttered "Densaugeo!" Mwahaha. Now that witch would have giant teeth when she turned the corner.

"I WIN. Me. Not you," she muttered, eying the Ravenclaw that approached her.

She was crouching down like Mummy, which was weird. "My elbowww," Annie sniffled pathetically, trying to look as innocent as possible. "Lessy's a big bully meaniehead and she hhurrt Niffley..."

Speaking of which, Annie heard a few squeaks coming from near the suit of armor. "Niffffffley!" the redhead bounced up off the floor, ignoring her cut elbow, and over to the lil guy's hiding spot. "Oh Mr. Niffley, I'm so sorry you got hurt." Annie reached her hand out and scooped him up again, tucking him into her pocket and leaving her shiny flower-charm bracelet in the pocket for him to play with. "It's okay buddy, we'll be okay," she added, patting the pocket just once before she headed down the stairs with everyone else.

Elizabeth looked at Professor Bunbury, trying to simply seem concerned while she was desperately telling herself that whatever was going on with the professors this term was a temporary thing that was going to get fixed. It was all too weird and confusing, dealing with adults that were acting like kids. Like the kids were having to be the adults, and who knew what upside-down situation was going to happen next. "Well, your elbow doesn't look that bad," she said calmly. "I'm sure the nurse can take care of that easily."

But then the Herbology professor had suddenly bounced up and gone over to a suit of armor, and Elizabeth watched as a niffler was scooped up and slipped into the teacher's pocket. "It seems 'Niffley' is doing okay, too. Maybe a little scared, but physically he seems like he'll be alright," she commented, even though she was fairly certain the red-haired professor was no longer paying attention to her. And that theory was confirmed when the professor and her pocket critter simply walked off in the direction everyone else had gone.

Sliding into a sitting postion on the floor near one of the walls of the corridor, Elizabeth blinked. "Definitely weird," she muttered to no one in particular. Especially since it appeared everyone had gone elsewhere.

Kayla had just reached the top of the stairs to the seventh floor when she almost ran into the Herbology Professor. Oh she was another one that is supposed to be down at the mirror. "Oh Prof - I mean Annie" she quickly corrected herself. "You haven't by any chance seen a Niffler around here have you? And oh you are missing out on all the candy downstairs" she added.

Annie had hardly put a foot on the steps to go down when ooh! There was her Prefect!

"Haaai Prefect Winters," she said innocently, hugging her Niffler pocket a little closer to her body. "Nope, no Nifflers in sight," Annie continued, patting her pocket just twice. "But did you say CANDY?!! Let's GO! We're going to candy mountain!"

To distract the Prefect from further questions, she linked arms with the girl and started skipping down the stairs, one at a time, to the next floor.

Last week of schools, finals...OWLS.

Emiliano was quite stressed and needed a break from all those extensive and intensive hours of studying. Nothing out of the world, he just needed to breathe and then continue reading...and thinking what to say to his parents.

Piper was walking down the corridor lost in her own world. She was very grateful that school had distracted her from her loneliness and her dis like of this school, and her supposed "growing" she was supposed to be doing. Her long black hair swung in it's ponytail, and her light purple shirt set off her violet eyes to perfection. She looked up, just to make sure she wouldn't run into anyone when she noticed Emiliano walking down the corridor.

She smiled, he really was very handsome, but she knew he already like someone else. Besides he usually had hordes of Fan girls around him, like every other boy did in this school. "Hello.." She said with a sweet smile. " How are you today?" She asked him.

Surprises brought the school all around. Emiliano raised his head when someone called up. It was Piper, the girl he had met at the lake. "Hey..." He said with a wide smile, "How are you?" He asked her, noticing Piper wasn't exactly on the greatest mood ever.

"Ooh...well. I am doing some rest after a few hours of studying." He said, reaching to his nose and closing his eyes. He felt really tired. "...and doing some figuring out about this...little problem I have." He told her, recieving the warmth of Piper's smile.

Piper smiled a bit as Emiliano smiled at her. He really had a great smile. It was to bad.... Piper let her thoughts of that trail off. She didn't need to put herself in a worse mood than before. " I am.. okay I suppose.. looking forward to getting out of here. This.. this is my last year. I won't be at Hogwarts next year, unless.. unless well my parents decide i need to "Grow" more.." She said with a sigh.

Piper noticed that Emiliano looked tired " You do look tired, had finals been really hard on you?" She asked him trying to brighten up her smile a bit. "Problem with what?" She asked. " Can I help?" She asked him softly.

Emiliano's smile turned into the frown. Why was Piper leaving? She didn't like the school? There were so many questions. "...Oh, why are you leaving?" He asked, feeling kind of sad now, more than he was. "...my parents, say that I shouldn't be here...that I should move with them back in Mexico. And obviously, that is something I don't want." He informed her. Emiliano's face was just without light now.

"Grow more?" He asked a little confused.

"It's just a little bit...more stressing than at Durmstrang. Maybe I was a bit off the rhythm. But I'm doing well, thank you...anyways." He answed to Anthea, trying to just not worry her.
