Ignoring August's hair speculation, Kurumi continued to point her wand at all the dark crevices within the tunnel that was Slytherin's mouth or, erm, throat as the case may be. Wait...she thought she saw something. Pointing her wand in the direction of something that happened to catch the light of her wand, Kurumi was just about to inspect it when...

Hey.....HEY?! Was August seriously pushing her...her...her bum? Now this was awkward...really really awkward. "Move over? August, this tunnel-throat-thing is too narrow for me to move over. I'd have to go fo---" But August seemed to have figured that bit out for himself and for the second time in the span of five minutes the Gryffindor was sliding in the Chamber of Secrets and ending said slide with a summersault.

*THUMP*

Kurumi landed face down on the ground of a slightly wet stone floor, now fully inside the head of Salazar Slytherin. "It's really creepy..." she said to herself as she pushed herself up and retrieved her wand from a nearby puddle, casting Lumos again to lite it. "I wonder if its brains are still in here..." she mused to herself as she rearranged a quote from a certain movie. The situation DID remind her of it. Creepy place. Creepy things. Inside the head. Just don't let there be a pack of hyenas inside here please.

Now that the tunnel mouth thing was not so cramped, because he had pushed the Gryffindor Prefect clog out, Auggie slid in and landed gracefully on the floor of the place beside Kurumi, not noticing her fall and all that. "That went better than I thought." Yeah for him.

"This place is creepy, do you think the Basalisk was here once?" he said the obvious question more for effect to wrap up the whole creepy vibe. His wand was lit and he looked around him, wondering if maybe snake skin would be in here at least.

Evelyn started to roam around with the parchment in one hand. She had her wand in the other which was pointed forward, the light enabling her to make her way through the darkness. Okay, so..she really found the whole chamber quite magnificent but it was a little eerie as well. Not little but REALLY eerie.

She pointed her wand up at the statue next to her and literally freaked out. It looked so realistic with the light shining in it's eyes...weird. While looking up, her feet were still moving forward and she accidentally bumped into someone who was walking ahead. "Gosh, I'm sorry. I wasn't looking.."

Alyssa backed out of the serpent's head only to bump into Oakey. "Ooops sorry Oakey. Are you searching alone? Would you like to join us? I don't know the Professor is going to divvy up the points but we can worry about that later." Alyssa offered her friend.

"I was looking in the snake heads too. So far nothing I've found." Violet poked her wand into one of the large snake head mouths and peered inside. No snake fang there. She looked into the the next snake head. "Hey, is that snake skin in there or the trick of my wand?" Violet beckoned her partner closer to check it out. Had her partner called her Lyssie or... "My name's Violet by the way and smiled at the girl.

I think we have to wait for the Prof to give the clues?
 

"Hi Violet my name is Alyssa but all my friends call me Lyssie, so you can too. This is Oakey by the way. He'll be joining our team. I hope you don't mind. You found a snake skin? Really? That's great. Let me see."Alyssa quickly crawled in to have a look. "Nope. It sure looks like one but it's a leaf. Darn it. I thought you had found one of them. But great eyes though. I think that we're going to need attentive eyes like yours to find what we need. Let's keep looking."Alyssa told Violet as she headed for the next Snake head and crawled inside.

Oakey was so busy searching for something in the water that he hadn't noticed Alyssa back up into him. Whoa Oakey almost lost his balance and would have fell into the pool himself. caught himself at the last second letting his wand hand fall deeper into the pool of water. Hiya Alyssa Oakey said getting back to his searching. I was searching alone, but we can team up if you want. He looked beside Alyssa to see that she had already found someone to look around with, and a Ravenclaw at that. Hopefully this Ravenclaw wasn't crazy.

Scabior had been in the Chamber once before. The day before in fact. To make sure that everything was safe and the scavenger hunt could actually happen. He simply stood by the chamber door, wondering if anyone would notice....

Auggie had been looking about the inside of the Salazar head Kurumi and himself had snuck into and as he looked around the place, having been in better spirits than his friend. There had to be something in this place, it was too good of a hiding spot for there not to be.

After shining his light on as many of the nooks and crannies he could find he turned to walk back to the hole they had climbed in from. "Kurumi, maybe there's stuff outside. I don't see anything in--OW!!" Auggie's foot had slammed into a box hidden in the shadows.

"Who would put a box in here?!" he shouted, cursing the fool who had done it. Wait....Professor Scabior...the scavenger hunt, this was it! "Kurumi I think we need this." He whipped open to reveal the stuff cats.

"We got cats!" he announced to the prefect excitedly.

OOops Am I supposed to hear the Professor? Going to edit not hearing him.
 

Alyssa continued to look deep inside the Snake Head. She climbed all way to the back of it and her wand's light shone on something stuck right inside. She reached inside, her fingers barely brushing the thing so she shoved herself further in, until her fingers managed to get a grip on it. She pulled it out and it was a small statue of a boy with FANGS...Snake Fangs? Alyssa held on to the boy with the Fangs quickly backing all the way out of the Snake Head and showed it up to Violet. "We found one Violet. Fake Snake Fangs. Oakey how are you doing at your end?"Alyssa called out to Oakey.

Holding her light high above her head, Kurumi was a little disappointed that there wasn't...MORE in here to look at. Just blank walls and lots of shadows to poke her wand in and attempt to illuminate. Maybe she should just cast Lumos Maxima. Just as she was about to do so, she heard a loud thud and August shouting.

"Wait, huh?" CATS? There were cats in here? Kurumi glanced down at the list. Oh, right, stuffed ones. Well that was a relief. Kurumi then rushed over to August abd picked up one of the cats herself. "Cats! I'm glad we found one of these even if the thought is rather morbid." Petrified cat and all.

Making sure to not let THAT cat out of the bag, Kurumi closed the lid on it and then spotted a pathway. "Hey, let's follow this," she suggested, leading the way.

They walked for a bit, but then eventually exited out of Slytherin's left ear. Woah...it was sort of high up here. Waddling ever so slightly, Kurumi made her way on top of Slytherin's head. "August...isn't this sort of...empowering being up here. I mean, we are standing RIGHT where he did it." Meaning where Harry Potter had stabbed the basilisk with the Sword of Gryffindor.

Glad that he now had a petrified cat, well for the scavenger hunt anyways, Auggie looked to where Kurumi had wondered off to. They still had to eb careful, they didn't want to fall into any dark chasms and be stuck there for days or anything.

The path they were going on began to lead upwards slightly and when the exited into the light again, they were coming out of a giant ear. He was alone again when he stopped looking down at all the tiny students and Professor Scabior from their perch, but after looking for a second he saw Kurumi standing at the center of Salazar's head.

"It really is, I can't believe we are here. Honestly how many other wizards and witches can say they will have done this?" he said quietly, slightly in awe. "But as awesome as this is, we can't let it get to our heads. Do you think there would be anything up here?" Harry Potter had slain the thing from up here, had he not?

Oakey decided there was nothing in the pool of water so he took his arm out and adjusted himself so that he could lean back and look up at the ceiling of the Chamber.

His hand brushed across what felt like something scaly. Lifting it up he was surprised to see that the snake skin was sitting next to him all along. He picked it up off the ground and stood up gripping it tight.

Taking out his list he scanned it until he came across snakeskin and marked it off.

Alyssa lookie here I found one! He said, waving it around in the air.

Unless the OBJECT is stated IN the quote to you, you haven't found an item :)
 

Right now, Kurumi didn't even care that they were supposed to be on a hunt looking for objects. LOOK where they were standing! It was hard to imagine a creature so large that it reached up here, but it had. Her and August were standing on a piece of history, following in a Gryffindor's pawprints as the case was. It was...moving to say the least, and Kurumi just stood there quietly taking everything in.

But then August snapped her back to the task. "Right, we can't get ahead of ourselves. How about you look over there," she said, indicating with her wand to the right. "And I'll search around over here?" More on the left. The man's head was rather MASSIVE and full of crevices and dark corners where things could be hidden in. So, off she went with her wand in hand.

Gideon had continued walking, his pace slow as he moved his wand gradually from side to side to cover his bases. So intent on where he placed his feet and sounds being distorted by the echoes the cavernous room created, he didn't register the girl coming up right behind him until she bumped into him. The action jostling him forward and into the puddle that he had just been about to come to. A puddle he might have skirted cautiously considering how it appeared in the shadow.

Great...just great...he mused finding his feet wet even as the girl---the hufflepuff as he looked back around to see was appologizing. "Nae...its alright," he said accepting her appology trying to step to the side to get out of the puddle since she was still behind him. It was dark...too shadowy to see everything the best and likely an accident anyway.

As Vickers was looking around, the larger than life image of Salazar Slytherin caught his eye. Curiously he neared the stone structure, thinking of how it was the Basilisk's den. Then he noticed something... from afar it would look like dust but was it just him or did it actually form some kind of pattern? Dusts dont form patterns do they? He furrowed his brows as he reaches out, wondering if its actually some kind of shedding-- from a snake maybe?

According to Pixie, I guess we maybe wrong. But waiting for confirmation from Prof.
 

Alyssa quickly ran up to Oakey. "Oh Oakey, it sure looks like a snakeskin. We need to ask the Professor to confirm whether this is one of the items on the list. Until then, ;et's just keep on looking. At least we found one on the list. A fake snake fang."Alyssa showed it to him. Then she pulled out their list and checked it off.



"Now where would we find the diary. Maybe somewhere on the floor near Slytherin's head. That's where Harry Potter was known to have destroyed the first Horcrux. I'll look over there. Where do you think Lockhart's wand would be? If I can remember, didn't he lose it near the entrance of the hole we entered? But we're not supposed to leave the Chamber, so do you the Professor has hidden it near the entrance of the Chamber? Should someone go look over there?"She suggested to both Oakey and Violet.

She saw Kurumi climb up the head of Salazar Slytherin, and waited for her to climb down. She had an idea where the fake Gryffindor sword might likely be hiding but she had to wait for Kurumi to climb down. But for now, she was going to look for anything lying on the ground near the lake in front of the statue.

Feel free to join us. ;)
 

THIS! This was creepy as hell. Despite his dislike for the professor, Lewis kept as close to him as possible during their trip down the Chamber of Secrets. This was insane. And even though, he knew for sure that the monster - the Basilisk - which used to live down here was dead as a doornail, the tunnels and everything about being down here was just really really scary.

And then they'd finally reached the destination of their journey. They ACTUAL Chamber. The Chamber of Secrets. Shudder. Though, this time he wasn't even sure if he'd shuddered because he was scared or because he'd just been awestruck by the chamber.

They were supposed to go on a scavenger hunt?! In here?! Seriously?! After just staring at the professor for a moment, Lewis gulped noisily before slowly making his way to one of the enormous Snake-statues. Clutching his wand tightly in his hand, he lit it up using Lumos and went to peek behind the statue. Maybe something was hidden there?

Daichi had been searching for the objects that was written down on his list. But no matter where he looked , he just couldn't find it.

The Slytherin sighed heavily after checking in one of the corners in the not-so-secret-anymore room and came back with nothing. He was surprised when he heard a boy shouting he had found cats and after checking his list he saw that petrified cat was on it. So that meant he had found it?

Daichi puffed his cheeks as he continued to search. If he was just staring he would find nothing. But as he checked the places, his dark brown eyes caught the attention of the Professor whom, as Daichi had remembered, had not moved from his spot by the chamber door. As if it was...guarding something.

Biting his lower lip and after looking around to see if no one else had seen it, he walked towards the man with an almost curious expression. "Professor Scabior?" he asked as he looked up at the man. "Can i ...can i check here as well?" he pointed behind the Professor and then lowered his arm. He did not believe he was just standing there to watch how the students were doing.

Lily had no idea where to start. Should I just wander around until I stumble into something... Lily raised her wand and then started looking around.

Still. Mega. Creepy.

As she wandered, she came up to the front of the Slytherin face when she figured there would be plenty of areas around here to hide something. Start down low and work my way back up... Man. This place is mega dirty. The ravenclaw started at the ground near the face, searching for anything on her list. That big pile of dust looks kinda funny... Why would there be a big pile right here anyway? Looking around, Lily tried to find someone to ask... and there was an older Ravvie that she had met before.

"Hey um... Vickers. Does snakeskin look like dust? Because there's this big pile of dust right here." Hopefully the older boy was looking at the dust stuff too, because Lily had no clue what snakeskin looked like.

Evelyn cringed when she heard him stumble into a puddle of water..sigh. She should have watched where she was going. She shifted her wand to the other hand and brushed her hair off her face. "Erm..it was dark and I was looking at the creepy statue and...yeah." Evelyn gave a nervous smile. She slowly continued to walk forward, avoiding the water on the floor. Ughh. It was so dark and creepy.

I changed it so Oakey is still unsure of what he has in his hand
 

Oakey hurried over to Alyssa and the Ravenclaw still holding whatever it was he was holding in his hand. Great job on finding the snake fang he told them. He then listened to what Alyssa had to say about Lockhart's wand. Maybe He hid it on Treyen Oakey joked. Wasn't Treyen like a super distant relative of the famous Gilderoy who famously erased his own memory.

Oakey didn't focus much on the wand though, he thought about the Sorting Hat. Maybe the Hat and the Fake sword were a two for one deal. Harry Potter had pulled the Gryffindor sword from the Sorting hat when he defeated the Basilisk. So maybe the sword was hidden in the hat and the hat was hidden elsewhere, right?

As they were ushered inside, Sierra followed the rest of her classmates, all the while looking around and taking in everything she could about the Chamber. She doubted seriously she'd go down here again. What were the odds of going down here even once, much less twice? She accepted a small piece of parchment, read it over, then looked up again.

Dear Merlin! How in Merlin's name was she meant to be the one to find something first?! There were now people and objects everywhere. Argh!

OOC: Okay, soo...we RP finding what we can for homework purposes? Despite whether or not someone else has already found it? *confused*

Closing her eyes while she went down the tunnel to the Chamber she was so scared. Even if it was so dark going down it was so scary! All she had to do was close her eyes and wait for the falling to stop. Finally she hit the bottom and silde down on something she couldn't see that felt like a slide on a place ground. Once Angelina hit the group and stopped she open her eyes to see she was in a large tunnel that was dark and all dirty. She looked around in wonder if they all had to keep going to get to the chamber. Their professor then moved them on and Angelina fallowed. While fallowing she looked around in wonder. This may be the only time she will ever be in the Chamer of Secrets so she took it all in and tried to make sure she would remember this always. For being a Slytherin it was so nice to be somewhere the founder of the house made. Even if the reasons werent the best it was still nice.

When the door opens with a bunch of snakes on it Angelina looks at them all its pretty cool in her eyes. Once the class starts walking into the chamber Angelina was in ahhs it wa so big. So many tunnels, and so dirty. Up ahead she spots the big head of what she guessed the found of Slytherin house.

Grabbing the paper the professor gave them she looks over it. She had I find these? That sounds like fun. She was ready to get started.
