"With with the Voldemort thing it was a piece of his soul that was controlling Ginny, there hasn't been dark magic like that since Voldemort's reign," Rafe said from what he could remember. At least he hadn't heard of an evil power around these parts and that was like 60 or 70 years ago. "What about the Headmaster? Surely he still has his wand?!" Rafe kept edging his was closer and closer to the door. It was time to act, not time to wait around for another tragedy to take place.

"Seriously? If something was controlling him, i doubt he'd have it laying neatly on top of his trunk. He'd probably keep it with him at all times." she said in a matter of fact tone, trying to not sound mean or anything, before turning to Rafe who seemed to be getting closer and closer to the door.

"Well if it happened once, it could happen again." Evelyn really wasn't one to mix herself up with situations like...these. But she did like Rafe. He was nice and friendly toward her during the few times they have spoken, so he'd be like...a friend. Right? Acquaintance maybe? Point was, she didn't want to see him get hurt, so taking a deep breathe, Evelyn felt the wand that was hidden in the sleeve of her jacket for a split second, making sure it was still there, before taking a few steps toward him. "Of course. He is the Headmaster after all." she said, smiling slightly before muttering to herself, "Can't believe i didn't think of that before."

Nick wasn't surprised that a body had been found at his party, things like that had a habit of happening on one's Death Day. Still, he was just as intrigued as the other students as to whose body was found. "A body was found, where?", he asked. "And who was it? No student was harmed here at the party, were they?" While Nick thought it was a pleasant enough thing to die, personally, he really didn't want to see any of the students harmed. They were young students and had their whole lives ahead of them.

"So Evelyn, Reese, Carter, Fia, Torin and...well I don't know the others names," Rafe gave an apologetic look at the two people who joined the group a little later (Wesley and Cameron). "Are we all in favor of going to see the Headmaster and getting help?" Rafe hated to be a party pooper, but this was really important. They needed to find LouAnn and to stop Jake.


"My apologies Sir Nick," Rafe said with a low bow. "But, one of our friends might be in danger and we need to get help to find her." Rafe forced a smile. "Everyone here was fine, it was an excellent party, one I will never forget as long as a live and have a Death Day Party of my own." It did seem ironic that the topic of death was during a Death Day part, perhaps even appropriate. "Actually Sir Nicholas, if you would like to help that would be great! If you could become completely invisible and keep an eye out on Jake Upstead, he's in his third year and a Hufflepuff...he may have been possessed to commit murder and we want to make sure that doesn't happen again! Could you do that for us Nick, I'm sure it's a mission for someone as noble and courageous as yourself." He was the Gryffindor House Ghost after all. The more eyes and ears he had there the better, for the safety of himself and his fellow students.

Evelyn nodded. "I'm all for it." she said, a slight smirk appearing on her lips. 'Hmmm...are we all going now?' Turning to Destiny, she gave the other girl a look pretty much asking if she was 'in' or not. She was pretty quiet the whole time here, and Evelyn was slightly worried. Was she okay?

"Do you think we need a little more proof first?" Carter asked a little unsure if they should just go banging on the Headmaster's door. "Maybe we can keep an eye on him or something. I just don't want to jump to any conclusions if there is nothing going on..." he said trying to convince himself that they didn't need to involve any Professors. "But I do agree if LouAnn really did take off after Jake we should make sure she's alright."

"That's true too. The LouAnn part. Should probably make sure she is safe as well." Evelyn said, looking towards the Gryffindor boy before turning back to Rafe, ignoring the other boy's uncertainty. There was definitely something wrong with the Jake guy, she knew that, even if he did seem innocent most of the time. 'Kinda sounds like me...' she thought, suddenly saddened for the moment. "Soooo, the Headmaster...or LouAnn..." she continued, crossing her arms. "Or maybe we could just split up."

"Well don't we need to get the headmaster is we're going to find Jake with LouAnn?" Rafe said, stepping closer and closer to the door. "Who knows we might ever find her along the way?" Rafe just wanted to go, he hated waiting around. She could be in real trouble and they're were just arguing.

"So... LouAnn first. And once we get to the headmaster's office some of us will talk to him and the rest will continue searching?" Carter said hoping his plan appeased everyone.

Seeing Rafe move even closer to the door, Evelyn rolled her eyes and walked towards him. "Yes, yes. Let's go." she said, slightly pushing him to the door (lightly of course) as if he was taking forever, hiding her laugh. If she suddenly burst out laughing, would kinda be weird considering what they were discussing at the moment. Not a laughing matter. Nope.

"We'll search for LouAnn and Jake on the way to the Headmaster's office, and like...you said (pointing to carter), one or a couple of us will talk to him while everyone else continues searching for LouAnn and Jake if we don't find them on the way first." Taking a deep breathe to calm herself down, she glanced around for a moment to see if everyone agreed with that before turning to the door.

Destiny was pretty much lost for words. Wasn't this 'mission' just a little dangerous. There was already a student dead, what if something would happen to one of these? But what else is there to do? Destiny turned to Evelyn and nodded that she was indeed 'in'. She didn't know what exactly she could do. 'The more the better, right?'

" Look, I see everyone's scared but i am not scared at all" Jason Potter Weasley spoke up. " My family has had trouble before and we face it head on with no worries and no regret" Jason said to everyone there." Voldermitis does not scare me just like my cousin Harry was not scared of Voldemort" Jason continued his talking.
"Eva, I can handle anything you can dish out to me" Jason told her." I just wanted to tease you about the boy, you cute witch" Jason said Eva.

Myrtle stared floating around like ghosts have been doing all these years: floating around the great hall, on the corridors, and even in their bathrooms. They float everywhere. And Oh what? Myrtle was accusing Jake that he'd killed somebody. How bad is she to accuse his friend but Jake, Jake could possibly killed someone when he was possessed, right. Myrtle's story were kinda believable though he don't believe it, he don't want to believe it.

"Jake killed someone? I dun think that's possible Myrtle. He's just thirteen or fourteen." Cedric stated a little delirious as he glanced at Myrtle.
Then he saw Cam, who was err. accusing LouAnn as a dangerous person. He made his way to his friend whom he haven't seen in a week or so. Like Cam, he don't believe that Jake had killed someone and it was really hard to believe. "Calm down, Campy!" Cedric uttered clamorously, even if he's angry a bit towards Cam, he still manage to state Cam's nickname made by he.

He was talking to him to defend LouAnn, obviously. "LouAnn is not dangerous! She's a transfer student, yes. But that's not a reason to consider her dangerous or notorious." Well, that's all he knew about LouAnn as he have been only talk to her just once. It seems likely that Cam haven't met the girl yet so LouAnn was kinda dangerous to Cam's eye. And he dunno what was happening which he found really sucks.

Wow! Fia was a Healers Helper, too but she didn't have a chance top meet others as she was pulled to where Theo was. Speaking of that, it was the Gryffindor boy who told her who Carter was.

And then Carter spoke. "Hi Carter...and..." she turned back to the first boy. "I'm sorry but I have met you twice and I still have yet to know your name." If she was going to be running all over the castle with...

"OHMYSTARS! LOUANN!" Noooooo! Not sweet LouAnn. LouAnn who befriended her and spoke to her before anyone else did and remembered her name too. "We must find herrrr!" This was hitting too close to home and was starting to become frightening to the point that she didn't care about the werewolf things anymore.

Fia then turned to the Slytherin girl and listened to what she had to say. It was obvious that she was Jake's sister, or so she heard everyone speaking around her. "The only thing I've heard her really speak about are the werewolves in the school." Yeah but it was really nothing unusual during that lengthy conversation.

Oh POOH! Fia totally forgot that professors were without wands. "Well, I do know that there are several professors who do not have their wands...for some strange and odd reason." She made a point to not let her wand go after witnessing Melita loosing hers and then Professor Ashby and that weird Professor Bunbury and her collection of wands.

"Wait! Before we go," she said to the Gryffindor student who she still didn't know his name. "Nearly Headless Nick, you can help us find LouAnn can't you? I mean, he can see anything in the castle." She spoke to the ghost and then to the students. "We need all the help we can get if LouAnn is in trouble...or Jake for that matter." Jake didn't seem like someone who would kill and maybe Myrtle was speaking more than she knew but...why would he take off like that?

Adrienne had continued standing off to one side, her dark hair and dress blending with the shadows, even though the sparkle on her shoes kind of gave her away. If anyone had been paying attention to the Ravenclaw, of course. Nobody really was, and she really wasn't trying to do anything to fix that. Once again wondering where Chloe was, she contemplated leaving the party, but then she suddenly heard what sounded like her last name being called out. Odd.

Looking around, she saw Fia, and gave her a curious look. "What?," she said, before everything was drowned out by the loud discussion of a body having been found. She found herself involuntarily glancing at Torin, remembering a few things she'd heard, and then it seemed some sort of search was going on. For Jake Upstead and LouAnn. Who must have been the girl in the hotdog costume, since she hadn't actually met anyone named LouAnn to her memory, but it had seemed the furor over her had started after hotdog girl had ran off. And oddly werewolves had been brought up. "What in the world?," she mused aloud, expecting nobody to hear her.

Daniel walked slowly across the room and went to Lou Ann. He approached her and said, "Hi Lou Ann. How are you? Nice costume you got there." he said as he is smiling at her, looking at her with a weird endearment in his face.

When a person or ghost yells, saying that someone was found dead, other people tend to notice that. Eva was almost in a complete schock hearing those words, wishing, praying, hoping that it was just a prank. She queezed Jason's hand slightly to let him know she was leaving and walked in Myrtle's direction. Unfortunately, when she got there, she was already gone.

Forn her surprise, Helios and the young Rafe Lycon were there.
"Guys... What is happenning? Is this true? Who was murdered?" she looked sharply at Helios. "I get that your too busy with.. things.... to give me a few updates, but weren't you supposed to know these things?!" Calm down, Eva. There are other matters in hands.
"Why are you here, rafe? Do you know anything that can help?" she spoke to him in a very differen tone she had used with Helios: she spoke smoothly and kindly.


Help.
Maybe there was someone who could help.
"Mr. Nick!" she saw the ghosts standing just a few metters away from them and called him. "How do you do?" she greeted him formaly and respectufully. She liked the Hogwart's ghosts in general - at the very exception of the Bloody Baron, because he looked too scary. "Do you have any idea why Ms. Myrtle reacted the way she did? She practically annouced the whole party about this matter..." she wondered out loud, looking at the other ghost for a possible answer. "Do you... I was wondering if Hogwart's ghost use to spend much time together, like when the students are asleep... Do you known well Moarnin... Ms. Myrtle?"

But something clicked on her mind. Quickly, she tuirned at Helios and Rafe:
"Correct me if I'm mistaken: Myrtle spoke of a secret passage, didn't she?" she asked, her eyes travelling from Helios, to Rafe and to Nearly Headless Nick.
"Oh my god, you were right...."

Since the second the Gryffie had spoken to Jake and Myrtle, Evan could only stare open mouth and listen. Like many people had reacted, what the? Jake was a murderer? That couldn't be true! Jake was the pink haired different but cool guy... no way, he just wasn't. Everyone misunderstood it, and they were jumping at conclusions. He looked at everyone in the room, and realised that Myrtle had vanished. Shame that they couldn't talk any longer. Well, considering the situation, they wouldn't be able to talk anyway.

He glanced around one more time to make sure really no one he knew was here. Sighing, he made his way to the Slytherin Common Room. He had to find Lyra or Fallon, preferingly Lyra, to talk about this... Like he could solve a mystery or something.

Warren tried to comfort Torin more.. ''Its no problem dude, i know how it feels.. and like i said before, im always there for you mate! '' Was it a good idea to hug it out? man hug? hmm.. maybe just leave that bit out.. ''You need me here, therefore, here is where i will be'' Warren was actually caring and loving for once!

" Hey, LouAnn Purple is the nicest girl I ever met" Jason told the accusers of her. " I will go find LouAnn, we are close friemds" Jason said to everyone. " I am like her "Big Brother" and no one messes with my " Little Sister" Jason explained to all.

Reese fixed the blonde wig that was on her head before turning back to Cam. "Myrtle assumes Jake killed this boy," she answered. "That's all I know." Her voice had a tone of worriedness in it. Thinking back about what the ghost said, she didn't have some really good facts that could make someone believe her brother killed the boy, but - NO. Just no! She was not going to believe it.

Her eyes caught something lying on the ground nearby as she stood next to Cam. It was - wait, OHMYGOSH! It was Wesley. Did she...faint? She stepped away from the crowd and headed over to the little Hufflepuff; she would have sat down next to the girl, but she was wearing a BIG Cinderella dress and wasn't too sure if she could sit on the ground with it. "Wesley?" She called out. Oh, great. This was just brilliant. She really didn't want to deal with a fainted girl, but she couldn't just leave her here. Reese Upstead wasn't that mean.

There was so much talking going around here, she could barely make out what Rafe was saying. The only thing she was was that LouAnn was in danger - not dangerous . "I miss understood you," she simply said. "I thought you said she was dangerous." It was looking like it was bedtime now since she couldn't even properly hear now. Then, the Ravenclaw girl (Fia!) mentioned LouAnn talking about WEREWOLVES and, before she could reply, Rafe asked if she was in favor of seeing the Headmaster. She stiffened her body up a little bit and narrowed her eyes at the mention of the Headmaster, that filthy werewolf.

"I don't think we should go to the Headmaster," she spoke up; you could definitely here the hatred in her voice. “Maybe Lawson or someone. Honestly, I’d rather go after LouAnn and Jake than go talk to the werewolf.” Yep, that was her time to get out of here. She looked towards Jason and said, “I think I’m with you. I’m going to go find LouAnn and Jake once I get out of this dress.” With that, she took off her wig, and then headed into the Slytherin common room.

Yes, Miss Upstead did forget about Wesley.

"Come on, we will look for Jake and LouAnn" Jason told Reese. " You will be fine with me" Jason said to Reese.

"Well, I think the Headmaster should be informed, this is a serious matter, if we had Myrtle she would be an important part of this investigation," Rafe said bitterly. Great another werewolf hater, Rafe thought. "We would need a teacher that's not bias, but like someone says, they all seem to favor Jake...I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but perhaps they haven't met the dangerous side of Jake."

Rafe turned to the rest of the group. "So, who would like to go to the Headmaster? If anyone knows how to conjure up a patronus that would be greatly needed, because I don't think any of us here know the password." Rafe looked on. He would like to go in search of LouAnn, but felt back up was needed just in case Jake was truly dangerous and somehow capable of killing.

"Can't one of the ghosts go and get Myrtle? Or like...isn't she usually found in a bathroom or something?" she asked, not really certain. For one, Evelyn just found out that the ghosts' name was Myrtle. "Anyway...I think the Headmaster would be the only one that isn't bias. Well, actually i don't really know since i never met him, but he can't be right? I mean, he's the Headmaster. Would be kinda weird if he was."

Leaning against the door, she thought for a moment, thinking that the Headmaster was probably their only choice until she suddenly became interested in what her own patronus would look like. Shaking out of her thoughts and looking around the room, taking a deep breathe, she continued. "We could just throw stuff up to his door until he opens it if no one can create a patronus." she suggested, shrugging her shoulders before thinking of something else. "Or we could make a really big ruckus in a hallway and then maybe a teacher would come who can take us to the Headmaster."

A teeny long whiskered owlet came fluttering into the room, carrying a parchment nearly as big as it was. It fluttered about, trying its best to 'hover'. It carried a parchment which it unscrolled to reveal a poster-like note:



The owl flew as slowly as possible around the room so that it might be read by several students, then fluttered out of the room.

Yes... Professor Kazimeriz had put a bounty on the heads of LouAnn Purple and Moaning Myrtle.
