| | |  The Old Ship
 The ancient schooner stands tall in the dark water, although there is a definite list to the mast and sails that belie its age. After all these years hidden in or around the lake, the ship is in remarkably good condition, although the lower decks drip with water and something rather green and slimy. If not for the age and apparent solitude of the ship, it would appear the crew had just departed, even going so far to leave the gangplank lowered to provide access to the main deck.
The main deck is cluttered in a way no captain would approve. Bits of knotted rope, lank strands of the shredded sail, and abandoned cannon balls that seem to have taken root to the deck would have tripped up a sailor in bygone days. They are the only artifacts left of those hearty men now. A rope ladder twists uselessly in the rigging - wonder if the crow's nest can still be reached?
Just a few steps above the main deck, the steering wheel is knotted into place with a moldy length of rope. It's impossible to know where these sailors were headed, but they've been sailing in one direction for a very long time indeed. Propped against the railing behind the wheel is a marlinespike, a nasty pointed thing that was someone's weapon or tool... or both.
Beneath the quarterdeck, a gaping doorway leads to the captain's quarters. Decrepit maps, a rusted quadrant, and a compass sit on the captain's desk, but the most interesting artifact is probably the old tricorne hat propped against the chair. Wherever the man went, his head is bare. The bed and wardrobe in the corner could give you more clues about the man who lived here, but the best clue is the log book folded closed on the chair - Captain's Log for the Dead Wizard's Trove.
Below the main deck, you will find the hold and sailor's quarters. Kegs of powder are scattered with a few ancient gold coins, Galleons by the look of them, but there is no further indication as to what the ship once carried. Was the ship a merchant ship? Privateers? Or pirates? | |

CeCe walked onto the ship, staying low to the ground if any teachers thought this were trespassing. But she doubted it because several other students were exploring the vessel as well.
The deck was overflowing with so many barrels and ropes that it was impossible to walk straight-almost twice did CeCe trip on a rope. She grabbed onto the rope and hanged onto it as if she were going to swing off from it.
Lifting her feet slightly off the ground she screamed
Hidiyy Ho...Piratas...!
"She kicked off with her feet and swung in the around for a few seconds before sticking her landing..Now she decided on being a pirate..

And he put the hat on his head. Oakey nerves calmed themselves as Professor Vindictus turned his attention away from him, he hadn't truly gotten in trouble. he checked the crotch of his pants to see if it was damp. Nope, good, okay. Oakey lite his wand once more and began looking at the maps again, trying his best to figure them out.
He turned back around when the Deputy-Headmaster put the pirates hat on. Hadn't he just told them not to touch the "Museum items". Oakey began to laugh a bit at how ridiculous he looked.

He placed his left hand on his hip and shot a stern look at the boy. "What are you laughing at?" Vindictus asked. "Since I'm the adult here, I get to wear the hat 'cause I'm in charge!" "Now I want everyone to explore this ship - every nook and cranny. It's okay to touch things but be careful."

That word caught her attention and her brows furrowed, worried what that book was or meant.

Ah! He put the hat on after he said NOT to touch anything. "You said not to touch anything," she said in disbelief of the professor breaking his own rule. "What if it's cursed and makes your hair fall off?" that was a possibility. Plus, the older Slytherin dude HAD said not to touch anything they might regret later.
See, she did listen to rules.

Lola Jones
Sixth Year | Ooohships. 1/2 of the Poo Brigade MAN!BUGG<33
Why was everyone... The girl was not blind.
There was a professor and some kids going in the ship and Lola Jones was a very curious girl. The ship intrigued her since her first day at the school, and was almost even about to befriend the ship (the Whomping Willow was just swaying for her attention though) and she tip-toed, wondering if this was some... top-secret mission?
If so, why was she not invited?!
OH WELL.
The girl was inviting herself in. The girl was inviting herself in in the most sneakiest way possible. Because what if she wasn't even suppose to be here? Those questions. BUT THE CURIOSITY! It filled her nose with a scent of old, ancient ships and Lola Jones--this very *cough*intellectual*cough* girl had some knowledge about ships.
Ships were big. That was about it.
She sneakily walked across the gangplank in tip-toes (it was beckoning her to come forward) and she entered the deck. Lola eyed the bits of knotted rope on the ground and sneakily, she picked up a few and kept it in her robes. What? There was nothing wrong with souvenirs! Some people would actually pay some reasonable galleons for stuff from this mysterious boat! There were people going through a doorway thingy, and it too also beckoned her to come through it.
"Pst!" she called out to them in a whisper but she continued to go all sneakily on them. After stalking some people, she was the next one to join the group of people on this what she thought was a top-secret mission. AND THE MAN HAD SOMETHING ON HIS HEAD!
"Professor, you might get some head lice!" She warned. Lola Jones, the girl of wigs, did not trust any head wear unless it was double--TRIPLE-checked. AND WHY WAS IT SO DARK? Only those Lumos spells filled the room. Eek.
She quickly grabbed on someone's shoulders just for comfort and reassurance. "Hold me."

Then Oakey responded in a serious pirate-like voice Aye-Aye Captain Vindictus Oakey joked. Sir? Oakey asked the Pirate Captain again in his regular voice. Can I be the ships navigator? I really want to figure out these maps, If they mean anything that is.

"Not quite the spell," he said quietly to her trying to reassure her it wasn't her wand. "But you'll be taught it eventually." He could hear the whispering convo of Simon and the young Slytherin girl, but then returned to a puzzled glance back at the Flying Professor. So not even he was familiar with it? More questionses.... he looked back down at the journal, his hand hesitating if he should even touch it. Just then he saw a motion at the corner of his eye and stood agape for a moment as the Deputy Headmaster picked up the tricorne hat and placed it on his head. First thought that crossed the Slytherin's mind was not the fact that the hat was old and fragile, but that they have no clue if the hat was a harmless antique.... or if it was cursed.
Maaayyyybeee he's seen way too many pirate movies.

"I wonder where the passage is to the galley below. Something must be covering it up." Peyton nodded at the man. Of course everyone dreamed of having legendary hair follicles, but that was impossible. She wasn't dumb, duh.
After he left, she covered her mouth with her hands and giggled. Funny man, he was. So, they were supposed to just wonder around and check every nook and cranny?
Okay.
The girl looked for the Gryffindor guy and stayed put. Her daddy would be so proud of her for being this smart. 
Plus, she didn't know any spells and this guy did.

Having been standing near the door, Simon backed up out of the room to let Vindictus leave himself. He bit back a laugh at the older man's response to the thoughts on the hat being cursed, though still highly amused by it and the picture the professor presented. He just wasn't about to do or say something he'd regret so he kept his expression calm.
"It shouldn't be too far, though with all thats scattered around, the seams of the opening are blurred," he mused turning to better face the open deck again, wondering where to start looking. For all they knew some of the ropes and such could have been deliberately placed to hide its local from explorers or robbers.

Jacob made his way down the grounds the the giant schooner that sat within it. With every step the clangs of the swords hitting against the various harder items on his pants and shirt. The rapier sat in it's sheath at Jacobs hip, and the large, four-foot broadsword was in it's sheath around Jacobs back.
Jacob easily walked to the deck. And saw several people above deck. Jacob drew his sword from it's holster.
"Alright! I'm taking over this here ship! If Y'all have any objections or questions, my sword is more than happy to take a message."
In other words, questions were highly discouraged, with the risk of lost limbs.
...
Oh crap! Was that Vindictus?
Ooops.

Prefects probably shouldn't sneak. They probably most likely should also not be wearing Impervioused dark clothing as they crept across the grounds either. Or be tagging along behind their head of house on their way to explore an old ship.
Then again it wasn't everyday her head of house led an exploration adventure, and she for one was not going to miss it. Purely for educational reasons of course. The old ship was bound to be brimming in history.
Wand held aloft before her, Ivory glanced back to smile widely at her best friend. This was sure to be an adventure.Turning back to focus in on the advancing party as moonlight trickled through the leaves giving an environment that was shady and cool. Then almost as if a giant invisible hand had parted a curtain, the trees parted to reveal a view of the Lake, looking for all the world like a void into another world, with the moonlight dancing over it's surface its' mystery only accented with the intriguing ship rocking gently on the water further away.
The old wood gleamed with age, the sails billowing slightly in the night breeze. Trying to contain her excitement, Ivory slipped her wand into its holster and turned to grin at her best friend. All aboard? Yes? Yes!
Nimbly climbing up the gangplank, making sure to watch her footing, the Ravencalw prefect made her way safely on deck. With a deep breath of old wood and what might've been mildew, Ivory couldn't suppress a grin as she heard Professor V call out that they should investigate every nook and cranny. Now that she could happily do.

Okay hat on Vinditctus' head.... and nothing happened.
In fact the man just bragged about his super follicles. Salander had to grin. Yeahhhhh he can brag about that too, but perhaps for another time...
-- because the Deputy Headmaster was turning for the door!
He followed the older man, noting how the ship was filling up with the curious that it started to feel a lot like a tourist ship. Which is what its turning out to be really...
LOUD.YELLING.
Salander turned and recognized Crazy!Jacob in a pirates' attire. He was chuckling open now-- oh you would use those words on your Head of House.
.... and looks like he just realized that heh.

Ooops. Oakey poked his head out the door when he heard the loud shouting coming from outside. Would you be quiet? He asked the older boy, He noticed that he had swords on him... Oh Geeze Oakey darted out of the Captains cabin and onto the ships deck. tripping on the cannon balls again,falling on his face...again. He got up and looked around to make sure the crazy kid with swords was no where near him.

Ooops. Peyton was doing a great job at standing behind the Gryffindor guy and checking out the place when a loud voice made her jump five inches off the ground. " AAAAAAAAAAAHH!" she yelped. "We're doomed, we're DOOMED!" she shrieked and hoped that Gryffie dude would take out his wand and hex the monster.
Someone HEX the monster!

Dead Wizard's Trove? Dead?! There was just something about the way the words dead and wizard were used together in the title that made her more leery than she already was. So now they were meant to explore every nook and cranny of the ship? Was there any certain reason they'd even want to? Hmm...
If she was going to stay on this blasted ship with the likes of Lola Jones, there just better be something here worth finding. She sighed to herself, suddenly wishing Evelyn or maybe even Lulu had come along. No such luck, though.
Well, at least there was entertainment in the form of one Jacob Blunt. Nevertheless, Sierra stepped past the boy and glanced carefully around the ship. What exactly were they looking for again? Yeah. Maybe she should have been paying a little more attention when Vinny was doing that little tour of the ship sometime earlier. With another quick glance around, she turned and headed back to Jacob and his declaration of ownership. If he wanted this ship, far be it from her to protest--it was old, rotten, and smelled worse than the locker room after a Quidditch match. If he wanted the ship, then more power to him.
At least there was excitement happening on this part of the ship, though.

Ooops. "I'm the one wearing the hat, so I'm in charge Jacob," Vindictus responded and swaggered over to the Ravenclaw captain. "And be careful with that sword of yours - you'll poke someone's eye out. . . or worse."
He was about to say something else when a Slytherin totally lost it in rather un-Slytherinlike style. "No one is doomed!" he bellowed. "Explore the ship - that's an order!"

Ooops. Simon looked over at the gangplank when yelling suddenly errupted from there, the Gryffindor captain not able to keep himself from rolling his eyes as he registered who it was who was causing the ruckus. Leave it to Jacob, he mused to himself. And what was with the swords? Quote:

Someone HEX the monster! "Woah...woah relax," Simon tried to reassure her as the slytherin first standing close started yelling in surprise making him wince once more. "Relax...its not a monster, just Jacob the crazy pirate," he said, placing a light hand on her shoulder to work on calming her down. Leaning down slightly he added in a whisper, "I would be careful around him though, just to be on the safe side." He really didnt want to have to deal with another student nearly injured by the Ravenclaw boy. Quote:

Simon nodded in understanding as he straightened up once more. "Of course," he said assuring the professor he would be careful as he took off once more to inspect the center decking a bit more thoroughly.

He then turned to Vindictus, the hat meant nothing. "are you willing to fight for that authority... Sir?" and without another word, Jacob unholstered the broadsword hanging from his back, and drew it out.
The swords weight had come as little surprise, but it still hit the deck with a loud THUD! Jacob then turned the rapier around in his hand, offering the hilt to Vindictus.

Ooops. Lola was awestruck by Vindictus's hair.
REALLY?!
Follicle-free. It was even safe against... balding?! Was that possible? She eyed his magical hair in even more curiosity than before, wondering if he used any hair care products because Lola wanted to know all the secrets! "Professor, may I ask--"
MERLIN.
She knew it! SHE KNEW IT ALL! There were still pirates on this ship! The fourth year Slytherin immediately ducked down on the ground, both hands on her head. "I am not worthy I AM NOT WORTHY!" she muttered, trying her best to blend in with the ground. Camouflage! Disguuuuuise!
Oh. Wait no FALSE CALL. Pshh. She knew that. The girl was still on the ground, crawling. This was a good way to explore! Quote:

If she was going to stay on this blasted ship with the likes of Lola Jones, there just better be something here worth finding. She sighed to herself, suddenly wishing Evelyn or maybe even Lulu had come along. No such luck, though.
Well, at least there was entertainment in the form of one Jacob Blunt. Nevertheless, Sierra stepped past the boy and glanced carefully around the ship. What exactly were they looking for again? THE GIRL IMMEDIATELY NOTICED A SIERRA.
SEE-ERA.
Lola crawled, and with no light illuminated on her, she was full out SNEAKY. She pulled on the girl's robes trying to grab her immediate attention. "BOO."
Rawwwr. Scared? Yeaaaah.
"Psssst, let's do some exploring," she said, motioning the girl to crawl with her. She was simply following her instincts.

This Older boy was INSANE He, just challenged the Deputy-Headmaster's authority, Oakey considered for a moment to jump overboard and abandon ship. He made it to the edge of the ship but stopped. Why am I doing this Oakey thought I'm a Fearless Boggart Slayer an idiot kid with a sword shouldn't scare me He shuffled his way past the challenger, almost tripped over a weird girl crawling on the deck's floor, and carefully stepped over the cannon balls.

Salander smiled broadly, it looked like the Circus came to town and decided to set up shop at the ship. He gave a salute to Vindictus when the older man said to start exploring "Aye aye Cap'n" he snickered. For a moment he hesitated between going back to the Captain's Quarters and keep poking around or start exploring deeper into the underbelly of the ship-- most of the interesting stuff would usually be found at the storage hold. He glanced at Simon and uttered "Should we go below deck?" | |

Peyton clasped her mouth to stop her yelling and kept her hands there, just in case any one else decided to be a fool and scare her. Her eyes narrowed at the man. Sure, he can say that because he's tall and knows spells and curses and stuff, but she, she was just a firstie. What if it was a monster? She could have been the first to go.
PFFT!
Incosiderate hat-man. Quote:

Jacob the crazy pirate.
Okay. She wasn't scared anymore, instead she was a tad put off by the pirate guy. Peyton looked up at Gryffie!Guy and uncovered her mouth giving him a small smile. "I bet you can take him on, though," she smirked.
He should really kick Jacob's butt.

Oakey overheard him say something about exploring the lower deck. Can I come along? Oakey asked I promise I won't trip over anything.
Oaky's maps could wait, this sounded a lot more fun.
Where had Mordred gone. His new friend really likes to disappear, kind of like a Mini-Batman

Where had Mordred gone. His new friend really likes to disappear, kind of like a Mini-Batman Taking his attention from Simon momentarily Salander turned to the cannonball kid. He smirked and uttered "I guess you could come..." he said looking back at Simon if the Gryffindor was ok with it too. Then he added "....but you really have got to watch your step down there, it will be harder to see anything with very little sunlight reaching the lower decks." | |
