Fifth Floor Corridor
 

Here a door, there a door, everywhere a corridor.

Eino made his way across the empty corridor all the way from the Ravenclaw tower. He sure enjoyed strolling around Hogwarts, and usually getting lost, it was dark and gloomy and he suspected there where ghosts all around. "Hello." He said as he walked, hoping some figure would jump from the wall and greet him in return. He also enjoyed hearing the echo of his voice, and did it mostly for that, if anything.

Adam made his way to the 5th floor corridor. What house or class did this lead to, Adam did not know? So he decided on searching the school up more.
Then he spotted Eino, remembering that Hugo had told him, Adam to be nicer about his cactus Adam thought this was the perfect chance.
"Hi Eino. Good night so far?"

Eino's solitary exploration as spoiled by Adam, Kurumi's boyfriend. "Oh, hello." He was rather surprised to meet him here and didn't know what to expect. "Very much so, I would like to think. What about you?" Eino asked very timidly because he hadn't been well acquainted with Adam and this was only the second time he had seen him, plus Eino was generally shy, regardless of who he was speaking to. "Where are you off to?" Eino asked curiously, suspecting he was on his way to class, possibly.

"I honestly have no clue where I am walking to. I am just walking."Adam said half laughing as he explained.
"Doing well...Besides other stuff...So hey, I'm sorry for treating very indifferent the other day at the Trains...I was being rude to you and Faustus..."
Best to make Eino feel that Adam actually wanted to try to be friends with him, no matter how much of a different person Eino was- these two could get along. Adam was random in his own ways also.

Eino didn't know where he was going either, except that he wasn't roaming, he was lost. What Adam had to say after took Eino by surprised, mostly because he didn't recall Adam being rude to him, but also because Adam had been rude to him (well, according to Adam, at least). All he could remember was that they spoke to each other briefly before everyone fell asleep leaving Eino and Faustus to speak to each other. "I'm afraid I do not remember that you were rude to me and Fautus, but if you say you were, then it's forgiven." He said trying to make things less tense between the two of them.

"I wasn't being the nicest to Faustus because I believed from my viewpoint that it wasn't a pet. But for you Faustus IS a pet. So that's why I am saying sorry"Adam said patting Eino's head.
"Besides, we our personalities I think we could be decent friends, no?"Adam asked.

"I see." Eino said as he listened to Adam, not paying much attention to him. That was, until he patted him on the head and Eino stood very awkwardly not knowing how to react, so he reached out his hand and patted Adam's head. "It's okay." He said while doing so. "I suppose so." Eino said in regards to Adam's following remark. Well, why wouldn't they be? Although, Eino couldn't quite understand how their personalities made them compatible to be friends; he thought anyone could be good friends. "Hold your hands like so," Eino suggested as he performed the same movement he would like Adam to imitate. He brought his hands together, with a gap in the middle, forming a megaphone, and held them close to his mouth. "Now call for ghosts." He instructed him. "They can't hear me, I've tried." Eino would very much like to see the ghosts, but he couldn't attract them.

Adam was slightly confused. Calling for ghosts was more of a Kurumi thing. But he really did want to get to know Eino. So putting all thought of people calling Adam a weirdo or creep -like if people hadn't already- he did the same motions as Eino.

"Ghosts!!!Eino and I are trying to speak to you. Understand you, is all..."Adam said shrugging his shoulders weirdly.

"Perhaps they are busy tending to other students, do you suppose so? I do wish I could see them." Eino said disappointed that the ghosts hadn't appeared. He had tried looking for them in the places they were rumored to dwell but he couldn't find them. He had many questions for them, and perhaps that was why they avoided him. It was much easier to speak to the portraits because they couldn't run very far and they always returned to their own portrait.

"Or talking to Kurumi."Adam teased.
Hoping it wasn't too personal Adam continued.
"Why are you trying to contact the Hogwarts ghosts? Not many people do that, but I'm just wondering, what's your reasoning behind it..."He sure hoped it wasn't a touchy spot to ask about.

Eino's jaw dropped and his eyes were wide open. He was shocked! Why hadn't Adam mentioned it in the first place... and why hadn't Kurumi? "She knows the ghosts!" He exclaimed excitedly, waiting for an obvious confirmation. "This ought to make things much easier." He said as he thought of where Kurumi could be. "Do you reckon they are speaking to her right this moment?" If so they would have to find her very quickly, before the ghosts got away. "Well, I would like to ask them how they came to be ghosts, and how ghosts came to exist, how existing as a ghost feels, and other sorts of questions..." Eino had a very large list of questions, for just about anyone for that matter, but for the ghosts it was particularly longer.

Adam had to take a step back.
Perhaps Eino hadn't heard Adam's sarcasm.
"She tried to speak to some ghosts in the Godric's Hollow Graveyard- but as far as I know- she's never spoken to any ghost."Adam explained, clearing up his excitement for Eino
"That's a lot of questions.
So umm, where do you come from?"

"Oh," Eino's face might as well have sank to the ground, "I see..." He was so disappointed that Kurumi did not know the ghosts after all. He had seen the ghosts once, but never spoken to them. Yes, indeed, there were a great many deal of things Eino would like to know. But now it seemed Adam wanted to know something... about Eino? "I come from the Ravenclaw common room... I was just walking around." Hadn't they already covered this, when they first met in the corridor?

"Sorry. Let me clear myself like I'm from Oxfordshire England..You are from...
Sorry man. I never thought you meant the Hogwarts ghosts. But aren't you and Kurumi in that one club that searches for them or something?"Adam asked, Hugo kept mentioning it whenever he was around Adam and Eino.

"I come from Espoo, Finland." Well, at least that's where he was born. "But my parents currently reside in London, because they don't want to be too far away." He explained rather unconvinced that was the reason his parents didn't stay in Finland, but he didn't question them. "Yes, we are part of Y.W.H.O., you may join if you would like to. Although, the ghosts don't have anything to do with that. I am simply curious."

"Oh I see."Maybe that's why Eino was a bit more on the pale side.Something about his answer though, did not convince Adam but he could tell Eino did not want to get at it the moment, so Adam did not press the matter.
"What is that all about?"Maybe he would join.

"It's a hunting organization," Eino began to explain "we can be recruited by someone or simply hunt by ourselves. We strive to help both creature and human, so we aren't violent." The name of the organization was rather misleading, they didn't capture the items and dispose of them, well not like a typical hunting group. They sought to remove a creature fro danger and return it to safety, or something along those lines. "It's grown very large with," he took a minute to think "eight whole members."

Only 8 members?Wow, that was a big group. Adam felt bad for Kurumi- she had taken so much time into making this group and only her closest friends knew of it- was that enough to keep it strong. Squirming uncomfortably in his jacket Adam looked at Eino.
Maybe by joining the group Eino and him could become better friends, and he could show to Kurumi that some things she does really do matter to him.
"You're wrong."He said bluntly."You've got 9 members."

"I suppose you're right," Eino said contemplating the possibility. "Fautus is a member, so I stand corrected, we do have nine members." Fautus could prove useful after all, and that counted as helping, so why not include him as a member? I guess this demolishes the "being human" requirement to join. Oh, maybe he should recruit the ghosts and Bartholomew and Whopping Willow and the house-elves! That is, if any of them ever decided to appear to him. That would sure help the group immensely, plus it would be very nice to have the giant squid and ghost and the rest of the Hogwarts inhabitants as friends.

>_<

Adam smacked his forehead.Eino hadn't understood Adam's speech.
"I meant- I was the 9th member until you told me of Faustus.I am joining Y.W.H.O."He corrected himself, patting Eino's shoulders.

Eino was surprised to see Adam hit himself on the forehead and didn't understand why anyone would do that, unless there was a fly on his forehead and he was trying to kill it. "You oughtn't do that, you know. Your brain could untangle itself and fall out of your nostrils." Eino had been told that when he was a child, but it wouldn't quite make sense why it would fall out from his nostrils and not his ears, since those were closer to the brain after all. "Oh, and you are most welcome in Y.W.H.O." Now they had ten members and Eino still wasn't sure of what to do next. Eino returned Adam's pat on the shoulder, as he had done previously with the pat on the head, apparently Adam liked to be patted.

Heather walked through the fifth floor corridor. She could have sworn she saw Rafe and Derian walk into a room she went and put her ear up to the door.

Nika followed her friend down through the corridor. This was fun and the adventure excited her!

Heather grabbed Nika's hand and pulled her away from the door. Derian may not like her and she may not like Rafe but she wouldn't just let anybody snoop on them. "Can you wait here for a minute?" Heather asked her kindly. She went back up to the door and put her ear up to it again.
