Nearly driven mad by curiousity, Aiden groans when she faces another failed attempt on opening the green bag. Her lips slowly curl into a sneer. She does not mind being with a Hufflepuff or even a muggle-born, really. As long as they do not go hysterical like a banshee or she will definitely use the Langlock jinx on them.

Aiden looks at Nessie and gives a tiny nod as a green
light on joining the team.

"Team," Helena grinned, as she looked from Nessie to Aiden.

Well... they were okay with it, right? And it looked like they also knew each other already, so no introductions were needed. They only needed some instructions from one of the prefects. There seemed to be something about the Hufflepuffs' maps.

Helena was still not looking forward to this. Whatever it was. Or maybe she was just tired?

Ness smiled as Aiden gave her a nod, she had accepted her. Ness then looked around trying to see what they had to do next, but she was kinda clueless. "So um whats next?" asked Ness hoping her team at least knew, otherwise she would have to ask Trey, as she spotted him, he probably knew what was happening, well he always did.

Well, it was good they'd thought of duplicating that one map, otherwise things would've been too complicated.

Treyen smiled towards Nessie as she came along, and he didn't notice what happened next, but she should've. The map she'd been holding since she left the Great Hall had changed.

He did notice, however, that she already knew some Slytherins in here and very quickly partnered up.

That was pretty awesome, though, that she had so many acquaintances and friends at Hogwarts. For a first year, of course.

As soon as the group was made, the map started to do something.

OOC: Only Aiden (Slytherin), Helena (Slytherin) and Nessie (Hufflepuff) can see that map. All Hufflepuffs too.

Helena looked carefully as the Hufflepuff prefect did something to Nessie's map, so there were some things... moving over there. Were those... the common rooms? Or what?

The girl looked around at the two first years, wondering if they had any idea what to do next. Maybe Nessie knew something that the Slytherins didn't?

"Do we have to make a wish first?" She finally asked, still staring at that map.

William looked around to see if Katelynn, Sarah, Presley or Ronnie are here. No where in sight. He waits for one or all of them.

Rowa...eleonora...whatever. It wasn't like she was going to talk to the girl again after this. "Oh, congrats. You talked to a badger. You're a true Slytherin now." Snickering quietly, her gaze moved to the Hufflepuff Aurora did speak to though. Younger girl it seemed. Again.

Where were all the upper classes?

Sleeping beauty? Was that the muggle story about the apple or something?

Deciding not to think about it, Evelyn glanced to the three others the Hufflepuff was introducing. They didn't need three. Just one. "Well... Amy. You have something we need." Right? All the Hufflepuffs had that map thingy? "Some, parchment...map...thing."

They did...right?

Ness looked at Treyen, deciding whether to go ask him whats next or not. The map she had got from the Great Hall was wide open in her hand. She looked down to see that the map had changed again from the last time she had seen it. She tried to figure out what it meant,at first it showed them that they had to go to the courtyard, but then it changed, and now it changed again. Ness was starting to get really confused, but she knew her team would eventually figure it out. She looked up again and gave Trey a thumbs up sign trying to show him, that she was going to figure this map out and that she was going to try make Hufflepuff proud.
Ness was just about to speak, whenshe heard Helena ask something first. Nessie thought for a little, a wish, well it did say make a wish, but a wish about what and why would they need to make this wish. Ness was very puzzled. The only thing she was almost certain about was that the flashing things on the map, were most probably the common rooms.

"Im not sure, maybe?" said Ness truthfully. "I think we might, but Im not sure when, why, how and about what?". Ness thought it was best to let her team know what she was thinking so they could help her think. "And um I think those flashy things are the common rooms." Ness hoped at least that was right. She had no idea how she was going to do this, but she was even if it was the last thing she did.

Ness then looked at Aiden again, she seemed to be holding a green bag, wait a second, weren't all the Slytherins holding a bag, either green or silver. Ness looked at Aidens bag. "Um...Aiden please try open that again!" said Ness hoping Aiden would do so, so they could hopefully open it and see what was inside. Ness was sure Helena also had one but Ness wanted to focus on one at a time.

And it seemed they had made a group, no? Evelyn, Aurora (what a pretty name, by the way) and Amy.

Since they made a group, their map started to do something.

OOC: Yeah, let's go ahead and say that only Evelyn (Slytherin), Aurora (Slytherin) and Amy (Hufflepuff) can see their new map. All Hufflepuffs too.

Much to her surprise, Aiden could now open the green bag with ease. Perhaps the prefects have lifted the charms casted on them? She opens the bag mouth wide and shows it to Helena and Ness.

SPOILER!!: Aiden's green bag

ooc: Do another teams allowed to see another team's bags?

Aiden stares at the content if the bag while trying to solve the puzzle.

He glanced at the Hufflepuff as she introduced herself, looking at him as if he would steal her coco puffs. Sheesh, he so didnt feel like coddling Hufflepuffs today, mostly because the Hufflepuffs he knew werent the type that needed coddling. Kinda like honorary Slytherins. "Dont worry Viola I wont take the map from you, with the way Treyen insisted it would sound like that map would only work in a Badger's hands." He shifted his attention to Caroline when she said something about making a wish at the fountain. "What like, out loud?" He fished into the bag and brought out the silver coins, one with a green mermaid, the other yellow. "So what we just toss the coins in and make a wish?" he uttered as his hands hovered over the fountain, about to drop both coins in....

Awh. This boy was nice. Nicer than most people she had met this year. She hoped that he hadn't found her rude for making a remark about his cousin. Some people are very sensitive about their families. "Even though I am only 13, I hate it when people baby me too. It sucks." she said, sticking her tongue out. She laughed at herself a little bit, because she probably looked like a huge freak when she stuck her tongue out. She liked to make fun of herself from time to time. It was fun. "I have always wanted to visit the states." she said, dreamily. "Especially California, because I LOVE to surf." she added. It was true. She loves to surf. She has only gone one or two times in her life, but it was a lot of fun.

Helena looked again at the map, seeing as those things were... blinking there, or whatever they were doing, but then noticed that Aiden managed to open her bag and she had a couple of coins.

The girl tried to open hers as well, and it actually opened. But... "I think there's a problem," she said with a slight frown, taking another look at the map. "Look at those two," she pointed towards the two points that she now recognized as the coins that Aiden had. "I have the same ones." Which was noooot good.

Eyes widened, Aiden quickly takes a look into Helena's bag. It is the same. How can it possibly...? Wait! Does the contents of the green and silver bag are different? Though Aiden managed to make an assumption of the meaning behind the coins, but are they different coins or just these two?


ooc: Does Helena gets a silver or green bag?

Viola rolled her eyes. Like she was actually worried. "Yeah. Cool, isn't it?" Viola said, looking at the map in her hand.

"Hey, wait." Viola said, as Salander was about to drop the coins in the fountain. "Don't you have to make a wish and then drop the coins?" Not that it makes a big difference. Hm. This whole thing was starting to weirder by the second.

"What's sleeping beauty?" asked Aurora.

"There really is no need for that. Just because you're older than me does not make you better than me." snapped Aurora. "You're not the Queen. Try talking to people without looking down on them." OHMYSALAZARthisgirlwassoannoying! It was people like this that made her wish she was back in the Manor with her old tutor.

"Oh! Hang on," Aurora produced her green bag and took out the coins. Both gold, a mermaid on each, one with a red tail the other with a blue. "What's in the silver bag Evelyn?" she asked.

Caroline nodded, "Does it really matter if you make a wish first or last. alway make the wish and drop the coins in." She shrugged at the last part. "and no not out loud." Doesn't everyone know you're not suppose to tell you wish out loud.


Putting her hand out, to stop him from throwing his coins in to early. "Hang on. there Sal." She looked back to the map. "You see the order they flash on here." She touched each of the coins on the map.

She took a few steps closer to the fountain. Said her wish to herself. Dropped in her Red colored coin in. She looked over viola and then at Sal. Was something suppose to happen? Or did something happen after all of the coins were in. She bit her lower lip as she tossed to the other one into the fountain. She was a bit nervous. This was right? Right?

"Okay, Sal your turn. The green then the yellow one"

Aiden leans her back on the wall of the Castle. She looks up the sky and shuts her eyes. She enters her own world, trying to solve the puzzle by herself while waiting for a Slytherin with a silver bag.

She might as well forfeit from the current team.

He was a Hufflepuff. Conan waved to the groups, and hoped he would be stolen. At least by Treyen. He had a map. Now he needed someone to share it with.

Viola watched as Caroline dropped the coins into the fountain. Red, blue, green and yellow. Yeah. That was the order. "Caroline..what do you have to wish for?" Viola was curious. Bleh. This was all too absurd. Thankfully, she didn't have to do any of it. That was a relief.

As she waited for Salander to drop the coins, she turned around and woah! Slythies. Everywhere. Like, EVERYWHERE. Where did all the Huffies disappear off to?

Emmaleigh arrived on the scene only to find that every one had beaten her there. It all seemed a little crazy. She saw several of her housemates, including Treyen, and one of her younger house mates standing by she headed over to him and asked. "Do you know what we are supposed to be doing?"

Conan shook his head at the girl, "Everyone seems to be with Slytherins. So I guess that is what we have to do." Maybe they could pair up together instead. He wished Sierra hadn't been taken first though.

She looked back at the crowd, and nodded. "It seems your right." she said looking back at the boy. "Oh, and by the way, I'm Emmaleigh." And as she said this, she stuck her hand out for the boy to shake. Turning to study those before her, she frowned. It looked like a lot of groups had already been formed. She needed to do something to find a group for them. "Any Snakes need partners?" she hollered.

Conan smiled. He wasn't being stupid at all. She realised it was true too. "I'm Conan. Conan Taylor," he shook he hand. He ran a hand through his hair. And returned to looking back at the map. "I need a Slytherin too."

Maddie walked into the courtyard with her books in her arms. her last lesson was charms so it was more of charm books than anything else. She sat down on the stone benches and placed the books in her bag and looked around the courtyard
