Miranda's mouth hung ajar. What in the world had happened in these few hours? First Jake ran out of the room after being accused of MURDER. And then...then...And now this OWL is flying around with a WANTED POSTER!

This is MADNESS!

Oh, poor poor Sir Nick. It was his Death Day Party!
Why did they have to ruin it for him? Miranda stood and pouted.

Where was Nick anyway?

And just after her suggestions, an owl came in. 'Strange strange birds.' she thought, as she noticed it carrying something. Squinting to read the parchment, her eyes suddenly widened when the words suddenly processed in her mind. 'Well that was fast.' It also mentioned house points. Something Slytherin could really use right now. 'Maybe get ahead of Ravenclaw and stay that way.' Crossing her arms, now she was the one to inch closer to the door, taking a step outside of it and clearing her throat, trying to get Destiny's attention. Evelyn's competitive nature was starting to kick in (totally at the wrong moment too). 'Let's go, Let's GO!'

"Well, now we'll definitely know if LouAnn is safe. I mean, being in Professor Kazimeriz's office is...safe. Right?" she trailed off, trying to sound sincere. Evelyn technically had no idea who this LouAnn really was. She had seen her around but never really spoken to her and knew nothing about her, except that she was a Gryffindor and something to do with being a transfer student. Unless that was someone else... Why would there be practically a wanted poster for her then? Evelyn had seen the girl with Jake before and she did run after after him. Maybe she had something to do with the...'accident' as well. But then again...the girl could be completely innocent and just needed to be protected. But why? CONFUSING!

Taking another step out the door, hoping to get out in case the whole mob in the room decided to take the offer up right then and run out, Evelyn turned her attention back to Destiny. 'C'mon...' she whispered pointlessly in her mind, glancing behind her for a split second.

Destiny knew that look. Evelyn wanted to go find Louann. Destiny did too, just for the houspoints of course. Slytherin needed these points. Nodding in Evelyn's direction, meaning 'we need to leave now!', Destiny inched her way closer to Evelyn, partically on top of her now Destiny whispered in Evelyn's ear 'Where do you want to look?'

Evelyn saw Destiny come over near her. Good, they were going to leave, but then she was suddenly stumped when Destiny asked a question she had no idea the answer to. "Well, she ran after Jake. Where would Jake go? Assuming that she is still with him...unless she is somewhere else." she whispered back, taking another tiny step back and pretending to look at her nails. The girl could be anywhere! Maybe a summoning charm would work on her...Nope nope no. Probably not a good idea to do that. "I don't know. She could be anywhere."

'Maybe we don't have to find Louann. We could go after Myrtle.' Destiny just realized what she had said. Going after a ghost? Was she crazy!? Well it was the only option since Destiny knew where Myrtle was likely at. 'She hides in the bathroom, right?' 'That's why I don't use that bathroom.' 'And maybe Louann will be with her?'

Aw, Evelyn's best friend was the genius of all time. Resisting to urge to just hug her forever, Evelyn instead smiled and took another step back. "Which bathroom does Myrtle like again?" she asked in a hushed tone so only Destiny could hear. "And how in Merlin's name to you capture a ghost...you know what? Nevermind that part. Let's just find Myrtle and then figure that part out..." Oo, ghost hunting! Never thought she would do that in life.

Destiny had to open her big mouth. Now they were hunting ghosts. And she was still in her bumblebee outfit!
'The second floor bathroom? Just so you know I am not looking forward to this!' But she will do it. She had to help. 'Okay, lets go!' It was now or never.

Snickering at Destiny's obvious lack of confidence in ghost hunting, (and her! like Evelyn would let anything happen to Destiny...pfft...) she turned and began to walk down the corridor before she stopped and stared at the other girl. "I really hate yellow. No offense." she said, staring at Destiny's costume. 'I am definitely not going to be running around with a yellow bee.' "Hope you don't mind." Taking out her wand and pointing it at the 'bee', Evelyn flicked her wrist at the costume, watching it turn green and silver. 'Wow, i am like, obsessed with those colors!'

"Much better." she sighed. "So you said second floor bathroom? Okay, let's go." Glancing at the open door and the others inside, forgetting all about the headmaster and such, she started off on their 'ghost hunting' mission.

Hmmm, maybe it was indeed time to leave. It was getting late and Miranda had started to shiver, wether from the chill in the dungeon or the shock of the event that had transpired here today, she didn't know.

One thing was for sure, Miranda would have a little talk with Jack... He was her teammate and fellow Hufflepuff. Surely, he could explain all of this and it would just be a BIG MISSUNDERSTANDING.

Grimacing, a thought came to her. Jake and Miranda weren't really that close, so maybe it would be better if Kaika spoke to him. Yes, that was better.

Miranda walked up to Sir Nick with an akward expression.
"Thankyou for the...lovely party Sir Nicholas," she hesitated at the word lovely, but it had been a fun party until all this talk of death suddenly pooped it all up! "It's getting rather late and I think I shall have to head to my dormitory..." awww, a party should last longer, but she was indeed tired...and SHOCKED. It made you tired. "Good night, sir!" she waved a goodbye with a genuine smile.


UGGHHHH. Chocolaaaate!

Fia looked to Reece as she spoke and then left the room. It had to be hard being her at this very moment and that was the second person she'd met that was anti werewolf. She then turned to the Gryffindor boy whom still still had yet to know his name.

"I'm too young to know that type of advanced magic," she shrugged her shoulders. She didn't know the password either to a place she'd never been to before. "But either way, I will go with you. LouAnn is my friend, too." And she really didn't want to see that girl hurt.

She then turned when an owl made it's way into the room with a letter. OHMYSTARS it was from Professor Kazimeriz and..."He's looking for LouAnn and Myrtle? Maybe that is who we can go too. He might be old but he knows his stuff." Like an old shuffling man could help them? One never knew.

Rafe looked over Fia's shoulder and and read the letter. "That's a bit odd," Rafe said. The letter sounded like a wanted poster, it was just missing 'Alive or Dead.' "But, I think you're right he might be useful. I don't recall him not having his wand either. A professor with a wand would prove useful." Rafe said with a smile. "I'm Rafe Lycaon, by the way and you must be Fia." Rafe held out his hand as he remembered their first encounter. It wasn't exactly on pleasant terms, but he was sure they could put it behind them in search of their friend LouAnn. "So, to Kaz's office? Luckily it would be far!"

Finally! Fia had a name for the Gryffindor boy. "Nice to meet you Rafe," as she extended her hand to meet his in a nice hand shake. "Umm...I think the last time we went to Kazi's office too." But that was for different reasons. "We still need to find LouAnn first but if we do, we can take her to Kazi's and then tell him everything. I'm sure there is no harm and he will be more than helpful. Let's just get going."

"Where should we go first? She's quite the studious type, perhaps she's in the library? I don't think she would be outside, it's too freezing nowadays!" Rafe couldn't believe how cold it was getting, he wished it was spring already. "I'm going to go to the library I have a feeling she might be lurking around there." Rafe was practically out the door. "Please feel free to follow...or we could meet up at let's say by the mirror in like an hour if one of us hasn't found her."

Rafe looked over the note one last time. He had never seen anything so disturbing. It looked like there could be two people he would have to protect LouAnn from. He was out the door and made his way to the 4th floor.

Fia nodded her head. "I'm with you, Rafe," she said as she really didn't want to search by herself. She was not one for being alone and afraid and if the truth be known, she was afraid. "Library? That's where I have just about always seen her is in the library."

Lena came up into the dungeon corridor - or what was left of it - still holding Chris's hand. She could tell things were a little off compared to when she had left before, but as she had made an excuse to leave then, Lena led Chris around the outer perimeter of party until they had made it to the blank stretch of wall that was really the Slytherin Common Room. It was there that Lena stopped and turned back to Chris with a smile, but also a small sigh.

Chris saw the Slytherin Common Room and heard Lena sigh. "I guess I will see you soon then." He said with a small smile and a quick hug. With that he let go of her and left the dungons. It was easier to have a quick short and sweet good bye. After everything that had happened that day it was just easier this way...

Lena hugged him back and said, Yeah, see you.... but she trailed off as Chris let go and left. Lena looked after him a moment before she sighed once more and gave the password without much enthusiasm. Though her eyes remained green, she felt pretty miserable as she walked into the common room.
