While circling the room, Ella approached what appeared to be a Statue of Slytherin, noting something dark in front of his face. What was that? Ella held her lit wand up and examined the thing closely. It was still quite hard to see despite her wand light and she was considering reaching out to touch the item, in hopes that nothing would jump out at her. Could they be the glasses? Or maybe the hat? Ella consulted her list, trying to think what the item could possibly be.

"Great! That''s awesome." Violet crossed off the fake snake fang off her list. Now where to look next? "I'm going to look over at the big mermaid statue at the end." she called over to the others. "Maybe I'll find a plastic sword of Gryffindor." Violet knew there ought to be an object down by there. She walked along the snake heads and looked down on the ground, hoping that there will be something out of place that will catch her eye.

Nate started to look all around, up and down. He then saw the professor standing in front of something. He went over and looked behind him. He then saw one of the items he was searching for. It was a plastic sword of godric gryffyndor.

1. plastic sword of gryffyndor

Turning around, she shone her wand light in the general direction of where Professor Scabior was. Right, near the entrance...

Walking over to him quickly, she stopped when she was about a safe distance from him. "I was asking if it was the real sorting hat down here, and not a replica..." she repeated.

Now, where would a snake fang be? In a snake head, riiiight? She'd probably go there to check after he responded.

Yeah, Sophie was sure now. That wasn't a really nice idea. The Chamber of Secrets looked really creepy and scary. But it looked amazing as well. It was still scarier than amazing.

She wanted to find the things they were supposed to find, but she definitely did not want to do that on her own. Obviously, staying next to Professor Scabior wouldn't make her find anything, so her only option was to stay with a fellow student. Hufflepuff, preferably.

LEWIS!

Right after spotting the older badger, she rushed in his direction and grabbed his arm with one hand, not bothering to let him know she was right behind him first. She held up her wand with her other hand and started looking around.

He was officially here in the Chamber of Secret. The chamber was really creepy and scary but then again Salazar Slytherin created this thing so what did he expect? A chamber full of pink color and flower everywhere? Okay that thought frighting him more.

Messer need to find someone, an older student would be nice since they know more spells so if something attack him down here he could hide behind the older student. Yup. That was a good idea. Then he saw Lewis the lost boy he met in the feast. When Messer was about to approach him, someone already rushed to his side and grabbed the older Hufflepuff's hand. Its Sophie. Maybe she had the same idea like him finding an older student. So without second thought, Messer rushed toward Lewis and poked him. "Do you mind if I team up with you guys?" Since three head are better than two.

Oooh. So they were actually going in the Chamber of secrets!?! Gwendolyn was completely mind blown. Although some of the students realized that it might be even dangerous and some of them seemed to not really like the idea, the young Ravenclaw thought this could be the best lesson… ever! She followed everyone until they came in the Chamber. Wooow. It sees really interesting!, she told herself, not thinking that it was, in fact, quite creepy.

Quickly scanning the place, Gwen made a few steps and tried to decide where she should start looking for those objects. Hmm. Maybe I would need a partner too. She looked over her shoulder to see if there were any other students still partner-less. Nope. Not really, the third year told herself as she walked towards the statue of Salazar Slytherin. It is a good place to start, right? However, on her way to the statue, Gwendolyn stopped for a second to look at one of the snakes. Supporting her hand on the snake fangs, the third year thought there might be something hidden in it. Near it. Somewhat…

She had no luck in finding anything there, and as she looked around, the young Ravenclaw decided she wasn’t about to check out ALL of the snake statues. Grrr. Because they were too many. And they had only an hour to search for the objects. So, coming back to her original plan, Gwendolyn walked towards the statue of Salazar Slytherin.

As she glimpsed back at the list of objects they had to find, her eyes stopped at the err…toy Petrified cat. That one was for sure creepy. And if she were to find anything, she would probably come across that. Or the snakeskin. Something weird, anyway.

Amelia looked inside the mouth of the snake statue, and she was sure that she saw something was in it. But she couldn't make out what it was even when she shined her wand on it. She hoped that it was one of the items on the list and not something totally different and possibly gross. :/

She reached inside so that she could pull it out.

Alyssa continued looking around the pool near the stone carving of Salazar Slytherin's head. The diary should be around here somewhere or at least nearby. Or even Gryffindor's sword. Harry Potter may have found it in the Gargoyle's head but he dropped it on the ground after he had killed the Basilisk, so until Kurumi and the other boy decided to get off the statue she wasn't going to be able to climb up there, unless she climbed up there and squeezed in with them. 'Geesh! how long does it take someone to explore one place? They might like want to give others a chance as well! 'Alyssa thought to herself.

"Hello there! Want to come search the objects for me? So far, I've only found the fake snake fangs, but there's got to be some more objects around here.." Violet got on her knees and started to feel around the stone. Maybe there was some type of lever that she could pull on that led to a passage. She got back up on her knees and searched the mouth of the huge stone statue again. She peered inside it's mouth, hoping there would be the plastic sword of Gryffindor in there.

Annabelle went inside the chamber. "Woah this looks soo cool!" she said wide eyed. She also loved scavenger hunts! "Hmm let me consult with the list first." she thought to herself. She checked out what to find.
She decided to scope out her surroundings and just familiarize herself with the chamber. "Hoepfully this won't be too bad. Maybe having a partner might help."

"Forty-five minutes." Scabior called out, just in case they weren't keeping time. He sure was.

Oh woah! Fifteen minutes had passed already? Time flies when you are reliving historical moments? That seemed sort of like an oxymoron almost since history was time that had already passed and...oh...never mind.

Kurumi twisted around a bit more, Kurumi noticed something that was clearly not part of Slytherin's head and scampered over to it. "August! We found something," she said as she picked up several wands with her free hand. "Lockhart's wand, sort of. We best remember to take these with us." Hehe. Did he notice what she did just there? Remember? Cause, you know, Lockhart was gifted with Memory Charms and, oh, never mind. Added the next item to her bag, Kurumi stood back up and walked over to the edge of the head and looked down. His nose was sort of big and blocking the way but...wait a second.

"Hey, August, can you give me a hand?" she asked as she sat down and allowed her legs to dangle over the edge of Slytherin's forehead. "I think I see something in his eye." Which meant that it was time to climb all over the man's face. YAY!

Laura decided that she would try and find something of the list but she wasn't sure if she would be any good at this one she didn't like small places and two she didn't know if she could figure out what anything on the list would look like.

Laura looked around but she couldn't find anything, so she decided to look somewhere else, hopefully she would find something somewhere.

"Do you have anything behind your back. You seem to be hiding something behind it. Just they way how you're standing there makes it seems like you're hiding something." Nate replied back to the history of magic professor. He did look oddly suspicous. He was trying to find at least something.

OOC: Sorry about that.

In the course of his trying to remove himself from the puddle, his foot hit something in the process. It didn't move on its own or at least seem to so Gideon wasn't quite as weirded out as he might have been. And they were supposed to be looking for stuff...right? Whole point of a scavenger hunt after all. The Gryffindor leaned down and slipped his free hand in the water to grab at the item that was semi-sticking out now that his foot had hit it and when he lifted it out Gideon found out what it was.

A book? Looking at the list it was clarified. A diary! "Well thats one thing off the list," he mused quietly as he straightened up. Hearing Professor Scabior call out the time, Gideon briefly looked at him before turning back to his prize spotting something odd on the book. His finger rubbed against it to see if it would come off.

Violet jumped up and down in excitement as she found a box with...petrified toy cats! She quickly crossed it off her list and scanned the room when the professor said there was 45 minutes left. Where did all the time go? She had only found 2 items on her list and had still plenty of items to find. She looked at the ground to find a big puddle by her feet. Hmm..was something shining in the water or was it the trick of the light if there was any light at all in the dim chamber. She crouched down on her knees to study the big pool of water to see if anything would catch her eye and tried to stir it around with her hand. Filthy stuff, but the professor could hide the objects anywhere even if it were a not-so-pleasant place to look.

Forty-five minutes left? Fifteen already gone? Woah that was fast and she hasn't found anything yet. Looking over at the water she saw it looking different. Maybe it was because they were underground? No she better go look. Walking over to the water she watched it with every step she took. Once to became more clear there was possibly something in it she woundered what it would be.

Arriving at the spot she noticed the spot a bit different then aroudn the chamber. Staring down at it a bit she looked up and around at her classmates. Looking back down she thought of what it could be with all the things on her list. Angelina got the idea that she could have to just put her hand in the water and figure it out.

Placing her hand in the water like planned. She made sure her sleves were pulled up and she wouldn't get to wet or wet at all. She moved her hand around a little tell she felt something hard. Taking a ferm grip on the object she pulled her hand out to see water dripping off and down her hand and the object, that seemed to be the a book. Placing the book down near the floor and letting it hoover to let the water drip off more she pulled out her list and took a look. Yes this book must be the old diary listed here. Yay! She found one thing on the list! Now time to look around harder and find some more.

Alyssa turned again to look at the water in front of the statue. Was there something there. She looked closely into the water in front of her. There was something floating down at the bottom. Alyssa quickly jumped in not caring whether she got wet or not. She reached in and found.....was it the Diary?

Lockhart's wand?! "Awesome! Now I have two." he said with a cheeky grin and wiggled his wand and the fake one in each hand. He would have mixed them up if his real one hadn't had light on the end from his spell, that would have been dim.

He placed the fake wand in his bag and marked it off his list of things to get:

Now where did they need to go? Being up this high would have given them a great advantage if they were outside but in a dark cavernous chamber they were sort of too high. The Gryffindor turned to ask his older friend what to do but she was leaned over the edge, saying she saw something in Salazar's eye.

"What is it?" He said eagerly going to look beside her. He couldn't see anything. "We have to get down there!" he starting thinking of ways. Auggie could lower Kurumi down with magic....but he didn't trust himself, neither should she. If only they had ropes. Wait, Princess in towers never had ropes!!!

He quickly yanked off his school robes and grabbed the back of Kurumi's, pulling them from her before asking. "Give me your robes, I have an idea." As he set to work tieing the two lengths of cloth together, the Gryffindor was glad that these robes were only OUTER wear. That would have been very embarrassing. After a minute or two of double knotting he threw one end around the Prefect and tied it around her waist.

"I'm lowering you down so you can grab whatever that is." he said firmly, she would trust him, right?

Amelia squealed as she pulled out a box. Opening it, she saw that it contained three snake fangs. She had been lucky with her searching this snake head. Part of her wondered if there could be more in other ones, but then she figured that might be a bit obvious. It would be something to investigate later on if other places didn't have anything.

She put one of the fangs into her pocket and then returned the other two to their box and their place in the snake head. Now she crossed the item off of her list:

Quote:

-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

One down... a lot more to go. But she must not be discouraged. Even with the warning that they only had 45 minutes left.

Amelia quickly scanned around her now, hoping that she'd be able to spot anything out of place. Maybe there was something around Slytherin's head? It had been his Chamber after all.

She approached the head now so that she could take a look around.

Kurumi rolled her eyes. Hopefully August remembered which wand was his and didn't try to perform magic with the fake one. Merlin knew what would happen then. Probably back fire.

And then....the younger lion was taking off her clothes?! "August, are you insane?!" she squeaked as she attempted to cling to her black robe while he took it off her. Her body wobbled a bit, nearly calling her to topple off Salazar's head and make a big splash below. Now that certainly would be getting ahead of herself. Or something.

Once she realized what it was August was doing, she nodded. "Brilliant," she smiled feeling ever so awkward when he tied the robes around her waist. "Way to use your head."

Turning around so her body so that she was face to face with Salazar, Kurumi tried to find whatever crevice she could as August helped lower her down. Reaching out now, Kurumi attempted to grab whatever it was blocking the man's view and wondering if she was about to make an ironic discovery.

Glenn reached the bottom of the tunnel; her ending scream leaving an echo in the creepily chamber. She dusted herself off and shivered, holding her wand up. Her wand's failure at a Lumos charm dully lit the stone walls.

She swept her blond hair from her eyes and looked around. She couldn't see anything anywhere. Maybe she should peer up with someone that she knew...

Hmm. Anyone around that she could peer up with?

Sophie! She was with two other Hufflepuffs that she didn't really know that well. Glenn hesitantly walked up to them, positioning herself next to Sophie. "Mind if I uh- Join you guys?" They already seemed to have a group formed but maybe they'd allow another Hufflepuff into their group?

Alyssa quickly dried off as much as she could. Sure she would have squishy shoes and wet socks for the rest of the scavenger hunt but she was having so much fun that she didn't even care about that. While hanging to the dripping object and waiting for the Professor to confirm what she had found, she looked at her list before deciding where to search next.



Alyssa looked to see whether the Gryffindor team had vacated Salazar's statue but to her dismay saw that they were still exploring it. She sighed and decided that she would move on elsewhere because whatever was hidden there would have been found or would eventually be found by them. So she decided to continue searching near the pool and along the base of the statue's head, hoping to find Moaning Myrtle's glasses or perhaps the fake Gryffindor sword.

What was that?! Lewis carefully nudged something dark on the floor with his shoe to see if it was any of the things they were supposed to be looking for. It wasn't. And seeing as it dashed off with a squeak he wasn't entirely sure he wanted to know WHAT it was. Though, he had a pretty good idea.

Completely focused on the task of running the light of his wand up and down the statue's back, Lewis didn't notice somebody walking up to him. Which was why when Sophie suddenly grabbed his hand, he let out a surprised yelp and whirled around with his wand raised almost stabbing her in the eye with it. "S-Sophie?!" He stuttered once he'd realized that nobody was going to attack him and lowered his wand again. What was she doing?

Before he got any kind of reaction from the younger Hufflepuff he felt somebody else poke his other arm. Jumping just a little, he felt his heart was beating unnaturally fast right now. That couldn't be too healthy. And it would definitely help if people stopped sneaking up on him to poke his arm. This whole being in the Chamber of Secrets thing was scary enough without them doing it.

Staring at Messer for a moment, it finally registered to Lewis what the question had been. "Err. Sure, I guess." When he turned around to look at Sophie he found himself gazing at yet another Hufflepuff girl who it seemed had just materialized next to her. "Oh hey. Yeah. Sure." Hang on, was he like their team leader of something now? If so, it felt pretty awesome. Heh.

Returning to what he had been doing before they'd all decided it was time to scare him to death, Lewis heaved a small sigh. "I don't think there's anything here." He muttered, more to himself than the others while taking a step away from the statue again. That would have probably been too easy anyway.

He then glanced at Professor Scabior who was...just standing there. He probably reveled in the fact that most of them were pretty scared. After a few moments of just gazing at him, wondering if he might be hiding one of the objects, Lewis turned his gaze back to the Snake Statue, this time its front. Maybe there was something in its mouth? Seeing as he was part of a TEAM now, he should probably share some of his thoughts with his TEAMmates. "Maybe something's up there?" He offered with a nod at the Snake's mouth and a small shrug.
