Aislynn was listening to the conversation. She had a feeling that Professor Kazimeriz had his own intentions with this whole experiment and getting to the bottom of it she just wanted to know why. She kind of glared at Professor Kazimeriz, and tried to hint in her stare that she was there to do whatever he needed to be done, whatever the cost, he only needed to ask.

But, then her attention turned to Anna. It sounded like everyone was gathering a search party to go a seek Myrtle. What an adventure! She was very determined to help in anyway she could. "Anna, I would like to help. Just tell me what you need done and I'll be there. It's about time we get to the bottom of things?"

She looked to Professor Kazimeriz. "That is unless I'm needed elsewhere," she said as she raised an eyebrow.

I understand thought Daniel as he look and smiled at Anna. He nodded as a response to her last statement on about him free to go with her.



Daniel almost burst into tears when he heard that they are going to be baits. Chivalry is good if the one you are courting is alive. He giggled and said, "We don't need to be writing a poem" he said and then grabbing his back pack, he grabbed an old brown book from it. "I got this Muggle literature from the Library this morning and it is full of poems. We can use one of them for Myrtle." he said giving the book a flip.

"Oh, thanks, Aislynn!" she said, nodding in agreement that it was definitely time they got to the bottom of this mysterious flood. If they didn't, Merlin, Hogwarts could be destroyed beyond repair! "If you'd like, Aislynn, you can go with me to the girl's bathroom to look for Merlin and try and convince her to come back here. I'm thinking we need to try and use the boys as a means of getting her out the bathroom and into this lab. What do you think?"

"We don't?" Anna asked, wondering what idea Daniel had come up with. Apparently he had some sort of suggestion, as he was now digging through his backpack for something or another. A few seconds later, he pulled out an old-looking brown back. A muggle literature book, he said. "Oh, that's excellent! Awesome, Daniel! So, yeah, we can tell Myrtle that you boys would like to read her a few poems. I think she'll come then!"

..."So what do you say? To the girl's bathroom?" she asked, looking around at each of the group members. She grabbed her bag and added, "Well, I'm ready when you are..."

OOC: To the girl's bathroom on the second floor?

"I will follow where ever you go. I am always up for a little adventure." She said slightly hesitant. She wasn't sure if this plan was going to work. It was really out there, but it was better than nothing. She put her book in her bad and slipped her wand in the sleeve of her robe. She didn't think it would be necessary, but what the heck, you never know what might happen in Hogwarts and this little excursion. She followed Anna out to the girl's bathroom.

Diane counted with fingers the people in this lab. From Anna The Prefect's own speech, knowing who was Daniel, thus, she gathered who was Jack, and she knew Cam. She heard someone else address Aislynn and got reminded the girl who was there from the start was Selena. She had lost Lawliet from view. Seven students - no, eight. There was this one girl she did not know the name of. Three boys, five girls. Two prefects. No splitting then, alright.

"Um, I'm not a girl of action but I suggest we leave now." And saying this, she started for the door - though despite her words she was walking as if she headed for a picnic. "Let's ask around if you find another ghost, they may help us."

"You, too, huh?" Anna asked Aislynn, a smile forming on her face. "I've always enjoyed a good adventure, myself. Especially one that's this important to the maintaining of Hogwarts." She gathered her own bag and slung it over her shoulder. She turned towards Daniel, who'd previously showed them a muggle literature book containing poetry. She nodded towards the book and said, "We might want to start searching for a little poem in the meantime, too. Let me know if you'd like me to help glance through the book, as well." She nodded when Diane mentioned leaving, agreeing that if they planned to get a move on, they should do so now. "After you," she said, then followed Diane out the door.

As Diane, Anna and Aislynn walked out of the classroom, Selena too gathered her stuff and put them orderly in her bunny-decorated backpack. What in the name of Usagi Tsukino (ooc: Sailor Moon inside joke.) was Kat thinking when she bought this back pack, the girl had no idea. She walked briskly towards the door, hot on the tails of the three girls.

Kazimeriz watched the group of Floodwater Investigators go out in search of their quarry, putting the sample of water back in its phial. He had just corked the small bottle when he saw Sir Sobs A Lot, The Feathered Wonder Kettleburn enter the room.

"Ah, Kettleburn. Whatever brings you to the lab on this fine day?" he smirked, knowing full well why Mr. Not So Mellow Yellow was there.

OOC: I suck and I got distracted with RL things, but i'm here now for the semi-detention... and if you don't want to do it anymore, just delete this post :P

Varius walked into the Potions Lab, a room he could safely say he had never been in, not even in first year when the lab would have been situated in its rightful place in the dungeons. However, it wasn't like he was exploring this room for the first time out of choice as it was very much under the orders of Professor Kazimeriz.

He moved between the benches within the lab until he reached the century-old Professor. "Erm, Professor Kazimeriz... you said you wanted to speak to me after our first class and..." he stifled a small cough, "and to er... do a detention."

His first detention. Boo! Sad-face!

"Finish my p-p-potion, sir," Copernicus wiped his nose and half-heartedly stirred at his cauldron. "And P-Plymouth is going to fix me." Copernicus sniffled once and then just broke down again. "IF HE EVER SHOWS UP."

He sulked for a moment before wiping his face clear and focusing on his cauldron again.

Aislynn sent her Patronus ahead. It was a beautiful silver unicorn. And it made an announcement in lab, "Everyone, Myrtle is coming and we need to make this lab look like a party for her welcome. If you know any boys bring them! And presents! Myrtle loves presents. Use the party charm to make make this place look magical!" The unicorn began to disappear.

Having just located Myrtle inside the Spirit Room and helped convince her to follow suit, Anna strolled back into the Potions Lab. Hopefully the rest of the little group would be along shortly. Noticing that Professor Kazimeriz was a bit busy with a few other students, Anna stepped to the side and waited for him to have a free moment. Maybe Myrtle would appear soon, and the presence would pretty much explain everything. Anna surely hoped this would work out for the best, too. Hopefully Myrtle knew enough information to guide them to a conclusion that would stop this flooding once and for all. One could only hope at this point, at least.

Aislynn rushed in the lab as fast as she could ahead of Myrtle. She finished up touches to make it look like a party. Balloons appeared everywhere, gold and silver streamers, a disco ball floating in the center. The was some oldies music playing in the background, that of Twisted Sisters. She had a table and it was stacked with gifts. "This is going...going to work," she said trying to catch her breath. Everything looked like a real party. She didn't even look at Professor Kazimeriz, but hopefully it will understand. It was all for a good cause.

It was dark and there were flashing lights going to the beat of the music. There was smoke going on. She was pretty proud of herself for the time that was given her. Now, they would just have to wait for Myrtle.

"Oh, hey, Aislynn! I'm glad you made it! I just heard your patronus' announcement. That was fast thinking," Anna said, speaking quickly as she moved around to assist Aislynn in getting the room ready for a party. Seeing Professor Kazimeriz nearby and figuring he'd pretty much already figured out what was going on, Anna scurried to his side. "We apologize for the interruption sir, but we've done as you've requested of us. We've all worked together to locate Myrtle and convince her to come here...for a party and some poetry reading," she said. "I'm afraid Myrtle was quite upset when we finally saw her, as she'd been crying inside of the Spirit Room."

"She..." Aislynn was breathing heavily, "...I think she's right behind me I sped as fast as a I..." she took in a deep breath,"...I think she should be here any second." She looked over at Professor Kazimeriz sympathetically. She felt like she would serve out the rest of her years here at Hogwarts in detention.

She moved over by Anna and whispered, "Do you think this is going to work?"

Myrtle.

Apparently they kidnapped found her already? Well he saw her at the lake but his luring failed. He was HORRIBLE at luring ghosts. Euughgh. Ghosts. Flesh-eating ghosts. Cam hadn't even seen that ghost or well any ghost at all in Hogwarts eat any students but whoever said they didn't do it? WAS THERE SUCH A THING AS A GHOSTOLOGIST? If so, have they ever said ghosts couldn't/didn't eat people? Hmm? Hmm? HAVE THEY??

Cam skipped back to the Potions Lab, wondering if Myrtle was already there or if she wasn't. Stepping inside the lab, he peeked in and eyed first at Anna and at the rest of the other people already inside. Hmm.

"Is Myrrrrrrtle here?" Cam didn't see her but she WAS a ghost and while the ghosts at Hogwarts as transparent, he always pictured them to be invisible.

Cedric rushed towards the laboratory, "Gah!At last!!" He panted. He heard that Myrtle is going to be here to make young boys read poems for her.He has one though so he was ready.As he arrived he noticed some acquaintances and friends.He walk towards Anna that's always been nice to him,to everybody.He waved and say, 'Hello' to Copernicus, to Varius , To Prof Kazi of course and to the other students he don't know.

And now, Where is Lyra?

Ced wants Lyra, She seemed very nice, He hope that she would come soon.

Selena zipped into the lab, having just dodged and outran their objective ghost outside. Seeing as the room have already been draped in a party-like decoration, she had nothing to do but looked around in awe. Wow - they sure are fast.

Anna
 

Daniel was panting when he reached the Open Laboratory in time for the party that was discussed in the Spirit Room.

He had been strolling the castle and its ground in search of the ghost Moaning Myrtle. And now he is in the starting point of his journey and will be hosting a party which was already been set up.

And they are now waiting for the guest of honor. Moaning Myrtle

He looked around and approached Anna. He whispered to her ear and said while looking around, "Do we still need a poem?" he said.

"Taaaaaaa-daaaaaaa! I'm heeeere now, the party can start!"

Moaning Myrtle floated through the wall of the potions lab and did a twirl to show off her pearly dress followed by two flip-flips of her pigtails.

"Boys... boys boys!" she screeched with glee, immediately zooming through the first three she saw (Cam, Ced, and Dan). "Where's my poems, boyssss?"

Aislynn swept over to Myrtle. "OH Myrtle, how wonderful of you to come!! What beautiful pearls you're wearing!" With a flick of her wand she transformed one of the wooden chairs into a royal throne fit for a queen. "Perhaps you would like to...float on it, so the boys can recite their poems they have graciously made for you at your feet?" She smiled and kind of bowed to Myrtle as though she was royalty.

Wow, this Aislynn girl was way too good at spells! Grace was simply staring at the shiny brand new throne. She wanted to be like her! Grace jumped when she muttered her pearls. The first year had totally forgot her willingness to meet a ghost! She quickly turned to her. Wow, a ghost! How wonderful her color was! She just looked at her and after some seconds, realised that she must say something.

"You are... amazing!" she coplimented, and she meant it.

Anna nodded in reply to Aislynn's question. "Yup, I do," she simply said. Her eyes flickered from Aislynn to the door, as she was watching and waiting for the guest of honor to make her appearance. She surely hoped this plan would work. After all, it was their only hope in getting some answers about this horrible, ever-growing flood. Or, at least, Anna felt as if it were their only hope. Only time would tell, though.

Anna perked up when the door to the lab opened...but the latest guest wasn't Myrtle. Of course it wasn't Myrtle, as she wouldn't have bothered to actually open the door. She'd have flown right through either it or the wall. Cam had arrived, though, which was a good sign seeing that he was among those who were supposed to read the poetry to Myrtle. "Hey, Cam. Not yet, but we're thinking she might arrive soon," Anna replied.

Once again, Anna nodded, this time in reply to Daniel's question. "We told her there was a party...and a poetry reading. So yeah, be ready to read a poem at some point," she whispered back. "Thanks, Daniel." A few of the other students had arrived by now, as well. Anna glanced around the room, smiling at Selena, Cedric, and Grace. Hopefully the plan they'd come up with would work and assist in saving the school.

Just as Anna suspected she would, Myrtle joined the party by flying right through the wall. A smiled widened across Anna's face, and she shot excited looks over towards the other occupants of the room. Step one was complete! They'd managed to get her to come! "We're very excited to have you here, Myrtle! We do hope you enjoy your party," she said. She gently nudged a few of the boys in the side, encouraging them to walk forward and begin reading the poetry.
