A bit confused about the plot? Housemates talking about a mysterious something going bump in the night? Here's where you can catch up on happenings around the Castle, Diagon Alley, and Hogsmeade -- out of character, of course.
This means that unless your student character heard this stuff from other students or witnessed the actual event, your student character doesn't know about it.
Also, this is a reminder to everyone to only post updates on the school plot here. Please do not post the happenings of your student character in here - that kind of chat goes in the school chat thread.
Have fun! | |

50th Merlin's Beard Post
An interrogation between Professor Kazimeriz and Madame Kohan has begun. The DADA Professor has suggested that all persons present at the scene of the crime report to a common location: Quote:
Originally Posted by XanaSnape  Professor Kazimeriz listened intently. "We can rule nothing out: accident, illness or intentional attack... I presume that no natural cause has been found by the Healer or we would have heard-- at least, that is my hope. But from what you say... There could very well have been a person in the room, concealed either by a charm or an invisibility cloak... there is something else we must consider. The perpetrator could very well have been one of the so-called witnesses...perhaps another student, either under cover or right there in plain sight. I have been instructing students on curses; I sincerely hope one of them did not take the initiative to experiment with the Avada Kedavra..." he sighed. It wouldn't be the first time one of his students had made such a poor decision, after all.
"I presume the boy crossed over- if only he had remained as a ghost, so we could question him!' He contemplated for a moment, trying to formulate a plan. "I suggest this course of action: post a notice on all common room bulletin boards asking that any student that was present at the scene report to a common location-- perhaps the headmaster's office -- at a specific time. We can question the students and perhaps even remove and review some of their memories of the event... perhaps there is are clues that, once pieced together, will help us uncover the cause of the student's untimely death."

So on top of Bunbury going Banana's... Professor V has too. Only he was kind enough to do it in front of Professor Scary Man Kazimeriz Quote:
Originally Posted by XanaSnape Wh--Whaa? Professor Kazimeriz furrowed his eyebrows, utterly bewildered. He considered calling after Alessia, then abandoned the idea... he would speak to her later.

My issue with you stems from the events of the here and now, disobeying my orders and undercutting my authority in front of my students. As a head of house and fellow professor I expect you to behave in a more professional manner, especially in a crisis situation. Your behavior, Vindictus, is most erratic... why would you think I am punishing you for a transgression resolved years ago, anyway?" Quote:
Originally Posted by demented_death_eater "Because you're jealous," Vindictus retorted arrogantly. "You know that I'm going to be a famous Quidditch player after I graduate and the thought just irriates you!" His portait began posing and swinging a Beater's Bat. "You're gonna be stuck in this stinking school while I travel the world basking in fame and glory!" His eyes glazed over at the thought and then he suddenly shuddered.
"Are the tea biscuits not to your liking?" he suddenly asked and looked directly at Kazimeriz. "Did you happen to speak with Headmaster Bontecou regarding the demise of that unfortunate Hufflepuff student? He was reserved when I broke the news to him but poor Professor Shackleton is taking the news hard. Tonight, I plan on patrolling the corridors after curfew because whoever the perpetrator is might come out of hiding after hours." Quote:
Originally Posted by XanaSnape Kazimeriz narrowed his eyes at Vindictus suspiciously. "Maximus, I feel there is something very wrong with you. Your behavior is erratic... strange... I apologize. I must be going. " Kazimeriz stood and turned toward the door, then suddenly turned back, swiftly drawing his wand and casting with a jet of light silently at Vindictus. Quote:
Originally Posted by demented_death_eater Max's eyes went wide as the bolt of red light hit him directly in the chest and he keeled over. His body hit the tea table, causing everything on the table to become airborne. THUD! Vindictus hit the floor and the tea service came crashing down around him. Quote:
Originally Posted by XanaSnape Kazimeriz lips peeled back in an evil leer. He rose his wand again and cast again. "Mobilicorpus!" he said softly, levitating Vindictus' body and taking it with him out the office door. Quote:

As you all have probobly noticed there is clearly something messing with some of the Teachers minds, just to name a few that i believe this is happening to are Vindictus, Ashby, Shackleton, Bunbury, and especially after this little piece of news Professor Lupa.
Professor Lupa has lost it in the Entrance Hall! She was in the Entrance Hall when she saw Clifford Carden, Slytherin Prefect. She ran over to him and grabbed him in a hug. She has a major crush!! Clifford's girl friend and fellow Slythern Prefect Evangeline L. Green, finally has ebough of it and tries to pry the professor of of Clifford! Thats when Old Man Kazi arrives! 
He is currently carrying a unconcious Prof. Vindictus. And he threatens to hex Prof. Lupa if she doesnt unhand the boy. Lets see what happens next! Go check it out!
The whole crazy situation begins on page 7 and continues over to page 8! In the Entrace Hall thread! | |

"What hex did Mr. Moiser perform exactly? And did anyone get hurt? Without knowing the details of the event, I can't say exactly what punishment I, myself, would have doled out. Although, even a thousand sounds a bit excessive, to be honest." Quote:

Sometimes when my tummy hurts I close my eyes and I count to 10... Anyway Yeah, and Jack knew about the hex, but he didn't tell me and he was all I didn't do nothin... and I was like, Ya hah, he he was like nah ah, so then I was like 5000 points, and he was like... MEANY and I was all like," and she stuck her red covered tongue out to her, "and then he said he was going to come talk to you..." Bahhhh... that's how SHE remembered it anyway. Quote:

Mac raised her brows with skepticism that anyone could think that such an offense was worth even a 50 point loss, let alone 5000.
"So, no one was physically injured and no lasting damage was done? In that case, I would have given Mr. Moiser several nights of detention and a deduction of no more than 15 or 20 points. I'm going to ask you to reconsider the number of points you've deducted, and if you won't, well, I may just take up this matter with the Headmaster." Or into my own hands, even if it means 1000 points to the next 5 Hufflepuffs who great me with a polite 'hello.' Does anyone else notice the slowly regressing age process of the teachers? And the lollipop from the ground... Shackleton seeks revenge, much?

Soooo... The Grey Lady has asked the DADA Lesson 2 students a little riddle, could it have to do with why she's been in the library, and around the mirror, and everywhere else she's been? Quote:
Originally Posted by Grey Lady "Wonderful!" Helena exclaimed. "Some stones are enchanted and used for protective purposes, yet other stones are used for entertainment purposes. The former stones have been placed for safe-keeping in a vault, but the latter stones were taken as a joke yet she knows not they are gone." She stopped and wondered if her strange riddle made sense for it made perfect sense to her Ravenclaw mind.

As it was, though, the Grey Lady wasn't very happy, and it was Anna's nature to figure out what was going on and try and help. "What was the mistake, and why do you feel horrible?" Anna asked. She couldn't imagine the Grey Lady doing something horrible to someone of something. Maybe someone else made the mistake, though.
Anna glanced down at the book she'd tossed to the stool. "Oh, I, erm...didn't notice," she mumbled. "Sorry about that." Anna picked up her book and then sat down on the stool. "I'm sure you'll find your book soon. Does the book have something to do with this mistake?" Anna glanced over to see Kayla Winters, her friend and fellow prefect. Anna narrowed her eyes when Kayla mentioned what the Far Friar had instructed her to do. Hmm...interesting. Quote:

"Perhaps." She stated simply, lowering herself from her high perch near the top of the bookshelves to be at eye level with the Gryffindor. "There must be a way to reverse it." Quote:
Originally Posted by Grey Lady As the Hufflepuff spoke of the Friar's apparent distressing consequences of dancing, Helena's eyes widened in surprise. Had he told? Had he honestly confessed all? She must reach the Spirit Room at once! The ghosts must reconvene!
The young girl's next words, however, caused a change of mind quickly. With a sharp gasp, the Grey Lady spun around and began to flee towards the double doors of the library. "The Mirror! The Mirror!" She wailed as she disappeared through the doors.

The ghosts are once again congregating by the portrait of the sleeping dragon. Quote:

Most of the ghosts are already at the portrait/mirror...

"Valon, which of your colleagues have been acting odd since October?" And did anyone else notice that this post seems kinda... important? Particularly the 'closer' line... | |

The story of the mirror and why the ghosts have returned is finally revealed: Quote:
Originally Posted by Grey Lady Helena was purposely late. How could she have been so very wrong about the adults at the school and how will he react to her overzealousness? Finally she floated through the wall and over to Kazimeriz's side. "Dearest Valon, please tell me how bad it is," she pleaded somberly with her ghostly hands covering her mouth. "I didn't mean to." Quote:
Originally Posted by Grey Lady "I thought I was protecting our treasure from evil hands," she wailed. "I didn't mean any harm." Helena looked over at the Friar. "Will you tell the children your story? I only whispered parts of it to my dearest Valon." Quote:
Originally Posted by XanaSnape Kazimeriz's normally pallid, wrinkled cheeks pinked up slightly- for but a moment- before he regained his composure. "I am afraid the situation has gotten quite out of hand, my dear Lady. Perhaps it would be best if another course of action were taken now, and we can attempt to remedy the situation before it gets any worse? You know I would never betray your confidence, dear Helena... I leave it to you to decide what of your story is revealed." His eyes twinkled uncharacteristically as he smiled and bowed to her slightly, ever the gentleman in her presence. As it always was; so it always would be. Quote:
Originally Posted by Grey Lady If she could cry, Helena would have at that moment. She reached out and caressed Valon's cheek with her hand. "Oh, Valon," she sighed and turned to face the students in the room.
"I remember the day Dumbledore placed the Mirror of Erised in here for safe keeping after brave young Harry Potter saved the Sorcerer's Stone from falling in the evil clutches of Voldemort." It was simple but it was at least a starting place. "Gradually, the Mirror became legend and was only found in the pages of history books, but us spirits of the castle knew about it including those who regained their physical form. It was then that we began to fear that our secrets would be revealed to those who meant to do much evil." The Grey Lady paused in her story.
"Our secrets - the secrets of this school must always be protected. My mother and her friends trusted our humble Friar to record the original history of Hogwarts as well as other secrets that must remain just that - secret." She smiled slightly and bowed her head. "Our presence was no longer needed after the great battle and so we faded away behind the stone walls of this castle that we so lovingly call home. Then one day, four stones were brought together as four Houses united in a task. Thus, we reappeared before human eyes for the first time in many decades. However, do not blame my friends - they told me I was foolish for assuming that evil deeds were about to occur at the hands of the adults and then the Mirror's location was revealed."
"I panicked and convinced my friends to help protect our dearest treasure. They obliged and even the Baron danced with me on that fateful night. But alas, you have seen the effects of this spell. I can rectify this - this mess I've caused." The Grey Lady turned to Kazimeriz. "Valon, do you forgive me? I was only trying to do what I thought was right and never meant to harm the innocent." Quote:
Originally Posted by Grey Lady "I shall do what needs to be done, my dear." Helena floated over to where she had cast her original spell and her ghostly lips moved in silence as her hands made an upward scooping motion. A faint lavender glow arose and vanished. "What was done has been undone, now let the remedy take hold." She reached upwards with her hands and moved them about in a fluid, circular motion. A pale tangerine light appeared between her hands and she placed it before the mirror.
"Bring your beloved professors to this room and beckon them to touch the glow. Once all who have been afflicted pass, this glow will cease to last."

The Headmaster has made his end of term speech at the feast: Quote:
Originally Posted by Biochemkris If any of the staff who had the unfortunate luck to revert to their hormonal teenage years was feeling a bit nervous and anxious over being in the great hall they needn't have worried. Headmaster Bontecou entered the great hall without a modicum of decorum as he arrived hours late and at a full out sprint through the doors and up to the head table. He vaulted the table and landed in a crouch on his chair. Very suave and headmaster-like. Yeah right.
He stayed there for a moment, collecting his breath, before finally easing off the chair to stand in front of it, the legs making an awful noise as they scraped on the stone floor when he pushed it back to make room for him to stand. Pepe leaned over to grab a goblet of water, the ice having long ago melted, and his glasses slid right off his sweaty face and clattered onto his plate. He didn't even have the courtesy to look abashed. He just mopped his face with his napkin, actually cleaned his glasses for once (merely managing to smear the grease around), and placed them back on his face.
"Well, it's great to see you all made it to the closing feast," he laughed and smiled and waved at the students and then the staff. "It's been an exciting year, but of course what would Hogwarts be without a bit of adventure, eh?"
Yup, he was having far too much fun. "It gives me no small amount of pleasure to award both the quidditch and house cups to RAVENCLAW!" he said and punched the air. He may be fair in his awarding of points and lack of bias during the term, but there was no way he could refrain from a bit of a cheer for his former house when he was able to announce such a victory. "And a hearty congratulations is also in order for the Slytherin gobstones team which managed to prevent Ravenclaw from managing a sweeping victory this term," he smiled and clapped for the snakes.
"Well, I know I've kept you all waiting enough as it is, so that's all for speeches. I look forward to seeing those of you in first through sixth years again next year and bid the seventh years a very fond farewell. Good luck in all your endeavors and may you never lose your sense of direction," he winked and then sank into his chair, completely winded after his running entrance and the speech that followed.
