Hearing the chuckle, Daichi knew he was at the right place. Why else would the man chuckle? His curiousity grew as the Professor reached behind him in the shadows and the Slytherin third year leaned a bit forward to see what he was grabbing. Because he was focused on seeing what was in the shadows, Daichi was too late to see something being thrust at him and the thing fell on the ground with a soft thud.

Mumbling an apology, Daichi bend down to grab and looked with wide eyes at not one item, but two! "Wow sir! Thank you~!" he said as he got back up from the ground. His eyes were twinkling with excitment. This lesson was far better than the first one! No doubt about it. He still thought it was sort of weird that the Professor seemed to be nicer than normal but he shrugged it off as he scratched out the two items on the list.

Now he needed to find the others. Daichi rolled up the sorting hat and placed it on the inside of his robe, so that no one would see it. The toy sword was a little harder so he pushed it in the back of his collar so that he looked like some sort of knight.

With the two things found, Daichi continued to search the room. He looked behind the giant snakes at the sides and looked up a couple of times in case something was hanging in the air. He found nothing though. Sighing, he looked around for a moment in the middle of the chamber. There had to be a place he hadn't checked y-- the water!

Hearing Professor Scabior announcing that forty-five minutes were left, he quickly walked over. Stepping in to the water, Daichi shivered from the cold but was happy that it wasn't deep. Wading through dark looking water, he rolled up his sleeves and searched with his hands for an object.

She scanned the front part of the statue of Slytherin and shook her head. NOTHING. How could this be possible?! Making a few more steps, the third year went on examining everything she came across. Psh. And, as she was about to look on the other side, she heard the Professor announce that they had only Forty-five minutes to finish this. Forty-five?? Ughh. That wasn’t good.

Raising her eyes, Gwen continued examining the statue. There HAD to be something there. It was one of the most important parts in the chamber of Secrets. Or maybe that was it… maybe it would have been too obvious to hide the objects there. As she turned around, the young Ravenclaw started walking away. However, while looking over her shoulder at the statue, something caught her eye.

*blink-blink*

What is that? It was definitely an object. Yep. It had to be! Quickly returning in front of the statue, Gwen kept looking at the eye. Oooh. She’d found something! Finally! Err… actually… it didn’t count as finding it. It was still up there. She just had to grab it… somehow. Did she have to climb to get it? A Wingardium Leviosa would definitely help, though.

Great another Hufflepuff want to join them. The more the merrier as long as the girl stayed on that side because he keep this side. His eyes went from the new girl to Sophie and then to Lewis, he just realized that all of them are Hufflepuff. Badgers in the snake pit. Thank Merlin the Basilisk already dead.

Speaking of basilisk, his eyes went to the snakeheads. They look scary yet suspicious. Messer gaze went back to his Teammates when Lewis mentioned about something above the snakeheads. "Yeah maybe or maybe inside it?" Should he go and investigate? But but but what if the snakeheads come alive and eat him? Curiosity get the better of him, Messer peeked inside the snakeheads.

Ella looked was sure she was just seeing things now, her eyes playing tricks on her in the dark. She stepped forward but was caught off guard by what appeared to be...was that dust? It didn't look like ordinary dust though, it seemed to have some kind of design on it. could that be the "Snakeskin? Is that the snakeskin?" she whispered, bending down to shine her light on the thing in front of her.

Lily decided to check out this dust pile, and as she got closer she realized that it had to be snakeskin. Picking up a piece, Lily looked around for where to go next. A snake fang was needed... looking around, Lily tried to find a snakehead. That was logical, right... a snake fang in a snake head. So Lily walked over to where she had spotted a snake-head and looked inside, carefully. Where is it?...

Nodding, Elise grinned. "Thanks, professor!" she beamed as she caught the hat and the toy sword inside. Yay! Slipping those into her bag, Elise bounded off to the snake heads.

That's where she'd be if she was a fang...

Reaching inside and finding nothing, Elise moved on to the next one. Shining her wand inside, she squinted a little. Was there something glinting in the light or was it stone?

Forty-five minutes as in forty-five more, or forty-five past... That she wasn't quite sure...

Sophie was still a little scared and focused on holding on to Lewis and looking around that she didn't notice when the older boy pointed his wand at her. When he said her name she turned her head to look at him and saw Messer. She gave them both a small smile and then saw Glenn coming too. Yay! A nice group of Huffies working together! The Chamber of Secrets didn't even look that scary anymore!

Then Lewis and Messer started talking about something in the snake's mouth or something. "Yeah, we could give that a try!" Anyone volunteer to look inside of it? Heh.

Before they decided where around the snake they would look for the objects - or who would go inside its mouth or whatever -, Sophie turned her head again to keep looking around when a darkish water called her attention. She looked from it to her Hufflepuff friends. She wanted to go over there and check what was with that water but didn't want to let go off Lewis' hand. Oh, the dilemma!

Since the boys were already talking about the snake and all, Sophie decided to go check the weird water. It wasn't even that far from them. Sophie glanced at the Hufflepuffs once again and finally let go off Lewis. She began to walk slowly towards the water and took a closer look. What in the world...?

Laura was still looking for anything but without any luck, seriously how was she suppost to find anything down here, saying that she was hoping it was safe down there but well the Professor wouldn't have let them down if it wasn't, Laura decided she would continue to look and hopefully she would find something soon.

Forty-five minutes?! They'd just gotten in here, though! What was he? Speedy Gonzalez? Sierra sighed to herself then continued to look throughout the chamber. Merlin. She had a whole list of things to find, and she'd found none of them...

Sierra had just happened to look toward her feet when she noticed a certain reflection in a certain piece of glass. She'd almost stepped on it when she realized what she was looking at was actually a pair of glasses. Meh. She walked a few steps away before glancing at her list and realizing that Moaning Myrtle's glasses needed to be found. Whirling around on her heels, she snatched up the glasses before anyone else could.

-A fake snake fang
-An old diary
-Lockharts wand
-A plastic sword of Gyffindor
-Snakeskin
-Moaning myrtle's glasses
-A toy Petrified cat
-Sorting hat

That was one down, too many to go.

Forty-Five minutes left? that was enough time to find the rest of the items. Oakey would have continued to stay with Alyssa but then he noticed something laying in a dark puddle near the front of the chamber. Oakey moved himself closer to the dark water and bent down once more to inspect it.

Anyone want to join him.
 

Nate then looked all around. He couldn't leave until the professor answered him though. So he was in a stalemate. He couldn't move until the professor answered him. But to find more items he had to move. He couldn't decide what to do. So he thought of something. He would look around him so then he could still here the professor's reply. So then he started to look around him to see if he can spot anything.

Annabelle saw a first year looking around and was thinking she could help him. "Hi I'm annabelle do you want to be my partner? But you can call me Belle for short." she asked. She needed the help and she loved working with other people.

Nate looked over to see a person walk up to him. "Yes you can be my partner. Nice to meet you Belle. I'm Nate. Right now I asked the professor if he has something behind his back." Nate replied to his new partner.

"Hi Nate!" she said as she shook his hand. "Hmm he does look suspicious having something behind his back. But let's consult with the list of items to find though. What should we find first?"

"I think we should find the old diary first." Nate replied while glancing over at the list of all the items that they had to find. "That is what I think we should find first at least. The reason why is because Harry Potter stabbed it with a basilisk fang so then the fang would have to be somewhere near it."

Belle thought that made sense and decided to look for it. "Well it would be near the statue head since that is where the snake was rumored to have come out of." she said as she pointed towards the center of the chamber. She went to look for it. She noticed a black book on the far right. "Nate do you think that is the diary?" she asked pointing to the book.

Nerida didnt have any luck just yet. She had saw something that was shiny, so she thought it was Moaning Murtle's glasses but no luck, it was just a shard of glass. She moved her wand trying to see if there was anything. She heard the Professor call out 45 minutes left. She didnt think it had already been fifteen minutes, it only felt like five. Nerida didnt watch were she was going cause she had started to look around her not down at her feet, when she tripped over something...

Glenn watched Sophie check the water and instead hung back with the boys. She didn't really want to go much nearer to those creepy snake heads, let alone underneath them. Well... if the others were there as well maybe they wouldn't be so intimidating?

"Well- if you really want to do check those heads..." Glenn said nervously. She imagined first-year Ginny Weasley lying unconscious underneath those snake heads and shivered.

She stood with the boys until she saw Sophie looking at something strangely, "What's that Sophie?" She asked, stepping away from the boys and to the dark water. The water lapped at her robes as she stood by the edge, frowning.

Not looking too eager, Hades stood still as other students already started to look for the stuffs. What was this again? History of Magic or horcrux hunting? Letting a heavy sigh, he shook his head before he began to look for someone to team up with. Seeing that a familiar girl picking up something on the floor, Hades headed to her and stood a few inches next to her.

"Whatcha' got there?" asked the boy as he stretched his neck forward to see the discovered item.

Scabior yawned and moved to the side a bit. Would any one notice the box there? Five more minutes done.

OOC: Guys I am really, really busy at the moment and I am replying much slower than I thought I'd be able to. So I'm going to go and post the locations of the items. Just RP your character looking/finding them. And have FUN. Make it realistic too. Remember there are a number of the same items (one for every person). They aren't suppose to just find everything in one post. Have fun, be creative, remember this is basically your homework mark ^_^ The thread will close around 10pm EST on Sunday March 4th 2011.

SPOILER!!: The Item Locations

1. A fake snake fang (in the mouth of a couple snake statues)
2. An old diary (in anywhere where the water is strangely dark)
3. Lockharts wand (on top of Slytherins head)
4. Sorting hat (In a box right behind Scabior)
5. A plastic sword of Gyffindor (IN the sorting hat)
6. Snakeskin (on the ground in front of Slytherins head)
7. Moaning myrtle's glasses (in Slytherin's right eye)
8. A toy Petrified cat (In a box in the mouth of the Slythern Statue)

Ella was right, the item on the ground in front of her was a snakeskin! "Yes, finally!" She said aloud, happy to have found at least one item. She crossed the item off her list and turned when she saw movement. Why had the Professor suddenly shuffled to the side a bit? He had been standing in the same spot for most of the class already. Finding the sudden movement odd, she approached him quietly, wand held in front of her.

As she got closer to the Professor, she saw something near him, a box maybe? She moved in to get a better look at the item. It was a box! Ella bent down to open it, wondering what could be inside. Hopefully it was nothing that would jump out at her, especiallly since she startled easily. She lifted the lid slowly, shining the light from her wand inside. There it was, the sorting hat, sitting in the box. Why hadn't she thought to check there before? Maybe because the Professor was standing in front of it looking rather intimidating, well at least to the small firsty.

Ella picked up the sorting hat carefully, examing it with the light from her wand. The hat was oddly heavy, like something was in it...wait a minute! Ella hesitated for a moment, wondering if a rat or something could have crawled in the hat before the hunt began. Casting that thought aside, Ella reached blindly into the hat, pulling out a sword. The sword! Two items in one find! That was great. Ella crossed two more items off her list and headed towards something shiny on the floor nearby. Was it water? Ella wasn't sure.

When Nate saw him pull out the sorting hat with the toy sword that got him really excited. Then when he looked inside he pulled out the toy sword. He then looked back over to his partner. "We've got two items. The sorting hat and the toy sword. Two for the price of one." Then he looked over to the place where she was pointing at. "Now that I think about it that water is awfully dark. Let's go and check it out." Nate says while walking over to the spot.

With the old diary found Angelina went on the hunt for anything else she could find. Frist she decided to look over by Slytherin's Statue. Walking up to it Angelina looked closely at the statue to see it was quiet large. Lifting her head up to look at the top of the statue she stopped right in front of the mouth of Slytherin. Looking ahead of her send she walked up to the mouth of the statue to see if anything was hidding inside of it. Looking into it while her hand was inside with her wand held out to give her light she saw something. Angelina reached in and cought it. Pulling it out of the mouth she found it to be a toy Petrified cat. Looking at her list it seemed to be listed right there number eight.

As he was wading through the cold water, Daichi searched with both his feet and hands to find one of the objects in his list. The sorting hat in the inside of his robe was save from view but the sword that he had on his back inside his uniform was a burden. It kept sliding down and he had to grab it occasionally not to let it drop. Daichi took off his Slytherin tie and tried to wrap it around his waist so that the sword was sticking against his back. But the tie was too short and he groaned softly as he placed the tie in his pocket, not wanting to put it on again.

But as he waded through the water a sudden idea came up in his mind that was...he wasn't sure if he should do it or not... He wanted to tie the bottoms of his robe in to a knot at his waist but, that would mean he would look VERY girly....and he was a manly man! Trying to find another solution, his feet suddenly bumped in to something hard in the water. Daichi looked down but the water was so dark in here that he couldn't see what he had bumped against. He stuck his arms in the water as he bend down, the sword on his back was sliding again but it didn't fell off. He searched with his hands in the water and after finding nothing but solid ground his fingers suddenly touched something. He picked it up and as he looked at it he noticed that it was a book.

Checking his list, Daichi saw that a diary was on it and he grinned to himself. Talk about luck finding it in that darkness. He took out his muggle pen and crossed his third item out.

Water dripped from his robe as he got out of the water and landed on the stones. And as the sword slipped down again, Daichi decided on trying to use his theory technique. It may look girly but it was the only thing he could think off without having to hold the sword or put it somewhere down where others could steal it. He grabbed both sides of his Slytherin robe that hung on either side of his knees, pushed it up and tied it in to a knot at his waist. The pressure on his back from the robe tightened against his back and Daichi felt how the toy sword was sticking firmly against him. He tried to move and found that the sword didn't butch anymore.

Giving himself a mental good job message, the Slytherin continued to search for the other items with the diary firmly in his hand.

After getting the toy Petrified cat Angelina headed off so the next thing to find. Before leaving the area of the statue she started to look around more. Backing up she took a full look at Slytherins Statue to think of a place to find anything. Once not thinking of much she turned around to look at the Chamber. She thought hard and looked at her list to think of a place these things might be. When pulling her list away from her face she spotted something on the ground right in front of her. Kneeling down she picked it up and realized it was the snakeskin. That was easy..
