Ethan furrowed his brow slightly as she continued about Laura and Elliot's relationship. That made sense.. sorta. But she didn't have to be there just because their mums were friends.. but it didn't matter that much to him so he shrugged it off as she continued. He nodded solemnly. He did feel like he was stuck in the middle a lot. "Yes.. well, you are both my friends.. and I do feel like I'm caught in the middle sometimes. The tension's a bit rough." He got quiet suddenly, feeling like he said too much. He didn't want Minerva to feel bad that he was feeling like he was.. but he didn't want to have to choose between his friends. Then he smiled at her suggestion. "That's a good idea." He still felt bad about the birthday girl's ruined party. Maybe he'd make it a point to buy her a present next Hogsmeade weekend. Ethan listened as Minerva apologized and tried to explain her actions. He shook his head lightly and said, "It's okay..." He put his hand on the side of her arm and his eyes met hers. "I know you're not a mean person. I mean.. I know I haven't known you for long, but I can tell you're a good person." He dropped his hand. "No need to apologize." Really? It wasn't her fault that her ex-boyfriend tried to drag him into his game-playing. |

Minerva then frowned, she didn't want anyone uncomfortable, "I'm sorry Ethan, that's not fair to you. I..I could try harder to get along with her and stuff when your around at least if it could help a bit." Yes she was willing to do that for him. For Maxwell no, she wouldn't even try, because she was so angry at both of them, but for Ethan she would try. "Just do me a favor, I know your friends with her and I know she is nice to you, but just be careful around her. I'm not saying she will turn on you, but I have seen her be pretty nasty to some people." Minerva hoped she wasn't being to hard, she just wanted to protect her friends when needed. Minerva felt her face turn pink as she felt his hand touch her arm. A small smile came across her face. She wished she could hide this part of her, but she couldn't hide her blushing. "Well I'm glad you don't think I'm mean." Minerva smiled. Then the hand was gone, what were you expecting Min, him to say he liked you.. fat chance on that, she thought to herself. But, she did like Ethan, and if was just to be a friend then she would take it. "Hey I guess I should go find Laura. Ethan, thank you so much for helping. You really did make me feel better." Yes at least she knew he wasn't scared off by the brats that followed her. |

The Ravenclaw shook his head lightly and gave her a rueful smile. "It's alright," he said with a shrug. Not everyone got her sarcastic nature and Ethan was able to see past that.. and those that couldn't.. well, he had been around enough to see others on the receiving end. "Maybe try acting like she doesn't bother you.." he suggested. Then maybe she'd back off.. because as far as Ethan could see they both had a hand in whatever disagreement they had. He merely looked at Minerva as she offered a warning, feeling a slight smirk emerge. He didn't think he had anything to worry about there.. but if he ever did, he could take care of himself. "Oh.. Okay then," he said when she mentioned leaving. He thought that was a bit sudden.. but understood. The birthday girl was her friend so surely she must feel bad and want to make sure she's alright. "I'll see you around then." Ethan gave Minnie a smile and headed off in the direction of the Great Hall. |
Myrtle's moaning had some bite to it at last. Greyish, thickish, brackish water came pouring out of her bathroom and seeping down the hallway. It picked up speed as it gained distance from the bathroom doorway, almost as though it were driven by a magical force toward an unseen destination. The water filled every nook and cranny of the second floor corridor. |
Nora Quote:
Quote:
"AFGHJGHAASSTTT!! NORAAAA!!!" Cora called out, letting out a squeal. She reached for Nora's hand, her own hand now covered in greyish water. Leave it to Myrtle. Especially since Cora had just finished remarking about how enjoyable she found Myrtle's random interruptions to be. She liked her. But WHYYY??? Cora coughed as the gross water splashed into her face. Ew. Not that Cora REALLY cared. But still. Scrambling to her feet, she added, "Maybe we should head out. Quickly," she said, grabbing Nora's hand again. They would find some place nice and quiet. And dry. |
Quote:
... right? "EEEEEK!" Water. Everywhere. She couldn't agree more when Cora suggested heading out. "You mean FLYING away? I can't even swim!" Well, that was a stupid thing to say, since there wasn't that much water... yet, but Nora was horrified. When Cora grabbed her hand, she sped as fast as she could through the water, having no idea where to go. Far away from that, she knew as much. |
Quote:
The water was tough to wade through, especially since it was flowing down the corridor. But Cora knew they had to get out fast. The water was FREEZING. Clinging to Nora for support, Cora lead them towards the stairs. She didn't know where she was going, but the closest staircase was leading to the third floor. "Good enough", Cora thought. Grasping the handrail with her free hand, she pulled Nora. "Come ON!" she yelled, a bit out of breath. And suddenly, they were in the third floor corridor. |
Just as quickly as the onslaught of grayish water spilled out into the corridor, it disappeared. Myrtle (or any other ghosts) were nowhere to be found on the second floor. |
Why hello there.... Isabelle had been eager for some food, so from her perch up on the sixth floor she'd made her way down to the second, on route to the Great Hall, when she heard shouting coming from a little way down. Knowing Fina's office was in that particular direction she was slightly concerned by the tone of voice. Frowning, she stuck her hands in her pockets and wandered down to see what the matter was. After all, if Fina had been there she'd have let them in by now, surely? Quote:

"The only people legitimately allowed to eject you from the common room, Mister Clay, are Professor Hadley and the Headmistress. But they would only do so with a very valid reason. So if anyone else did, then take me to them and I shall have stern words." She would as well. Only those two were allowed to order the Badgers from their den, being the ones in charge. Unless of course there was an emergency and someone else sent them out. But he hadn't said that... "And what's this about not being able to get back in? Are you sure you're all tapping the barrel properly?" And was there any vinegar? She been a victim of that a few times when she was a student. It was quite easy to forget which one it was. |

Isabelle weighed all these thoughts up in her mind, brow still furrowed, before looking directly at Edmund and Laura. "Right, we'll go down and find out what's wrong. It might be easily fixable. Come on." Although if this was some elaborate hoax designed for Professor Hadley, that Issy had walked into, Merlin help them all. Quote:

For Professor Magnus mostly. Leobald headed down the staircases from the library still clutching the broken reel in a tight grasp as he scanned the floors for sights of either the headmistress or the caretaker. The librarian was utterly confused why had he of all the people in the castle been robbed? Fishing pole's were last time he looked not rare or worth stealing. Shaking his dark coloured head Leo descended onto the second floor where he spotted Professor Magnus in conversation with two badgers. Normally he would have just proceeded past but hearing some words like 'locked out' and 'common room' he steered his steps towards the small group. Catching Professor Magnus eye Leo greeted her. "Good day Professor Magnus, is something amiss? Who is locked out?" And from where? Turning to the badgers he said in turn. "Good day Edmund and Laura!" |
Text Cut: Laura, Magnus and Kitridge Thankfully, Laura just let him talk and explain it all. He glanced down at her foot when she said she'd tried. Yep, she certainly had. He looked back at Magnus as she said they'd go look. "Okay." At least they were being sort of believed now, right? If it was easily fixable, he'd be pretty mad at himself for not working that out. His eyes flickered to Kitridge who had appeared from seemingly nowhere. Maybe he'd just been thinking too hard about the common room situation. "Hello Mr. Kitridge." Ed greeted him politely, letting Professor Magnus explain the situation. |
Beckyyy tooo Quote:
She looked over at the two Huffies and smiled as they too greeted the librarian. "Edmund said the students had been sprawled all over the floor, wasn't it?" she asked, tilting her head at him. Very strange. |
Laura looked at the Librarian, she was wondering where he had come from. "Good Day Mr. Kitridge." Laura smiled as she stood letting Ed talk to the Professor, she smiled as the Professor finally believed them, at first she had a funny feeling that Professor hadn't believed her. "Yeah Professor, we all got thrown out by an invisable force, or so it felt like it." Laura suddenly had an idea. "Should I go see if the other houses can't get into their common room?" Laura smiled at the Professor. |
And Laura & Edmund too. Quote:
"Have you informed Professor Hadley?" He wondered gesturing in the direction of Josephina's office. It was the logical step since she was the Hufflepuff Head of House and they were practically on her doorstep anyway. Looking over briefly at Edmund he asked "No hufflepuff's were injured in the eviction from the common room i hope?" If that was the unfortunate case then Leo would send a patronus to Cecelia immediatley. Letting his gaze drift over to Laura he replied. "Good thought dear. I shall go and check if the lions have met the same strange fate of eviction." Fingering on the reel absently he wondered if his stolen fishing pole would ever be found. |
All of you ^_^ Nodding to confirm that they were ejected from the room, Ed noted her disbelieving tone, but said nothing. She'd find out for herself when she went down to the barrels. He nodded once more at the question directed at him. "Yes, it was like they'd all been pushed out and had no choice whether to leave or not." Frustratingly, it didn't seem Kitridge believed them either. He glanced at Hadley's office when she was mentioned. "That's why we came straight here, because she's our Head of House." He shrugged before adding quietly. "Personally, I'm hoping it's a bad taste prank." He could hope all he liked, but it seemed the professors were just as confused. "I don't believe so, though I'm sure that a lot of them landed on the floor, so some might just be sore. Nothing that a good night's sleep won't get rid of." Yeah, where were they going to sleep if they didn't get back in? With the other houses? Hopefully! Eeee! SLEEPOVER. Ed's eyes dropped to the reel in Kitridge's hand and he frowned. That was a strange thing to be carrying around. |

Straightening her robes, Issy fixed a determined expression on her face and nodded again. "Yes, you should check on the Lions, good idea. Let me know if they have the same problem, we might need to put our heads together." But whatever it was was probably fairly simple to fix. Probably. "Right then, towards the kitchens you three. Mister Kitridge, I do hope the Lions are having better luck and aren't affected," Isabelle smiled. It was bad enough having one common room locked up. With a wave of her hand to summon them, Issy started off down the corridor, her robes billowing behind her. |
Laura looked at the Professor. "Okay then." Laura smiled, she was glad that Mr. Kitridge was going to check on the Gryffindors but she was glad Ed and the Professor answered so she didn't have too, because she would probably have gotten into trouble because she was fed up with people saying stupid things. Laura smiled at the Professor as she followed her, this was going to be interesting, she was worried that they would have to sleep somewhere other than the common room tonight but where she had no idea. |
Text Cut: Magnus He hadn't even made it to the office when Magnus flagged him down. He skidded to a halt. "Er... yeah, I was." He shuffled his feet a bit and then burst out, "I think Thomas is in there, Professor!" His poor toad! Alone, defenseless, and with no source of food! But Magnus seemed to be doubting his housemates. "No, it's true! No one can get in anymore." Pao nodded his head fervently to show he was being sincere. But he would definitely cooperate. He liked the house elves. I think. He walked off after the other Hufflepuffs, heading toward the kitchens. |
Leo's exit. Leo nodded as Isabelle gave out order's to the badgers surrounding her, they were heading back to the kitchen levels. With Josephina off somewhere it was nice to see Isabelle stepping and going off to investigate. "I surely hope not. If they have been evicted too then we can probably be pretty safe in assuming that the other houses have met the same fate." Which meant they had to inform Headmistress Truebridge and make plans for where the kids would be sleeping while they tried to solved the problem. Turning to leave in the opposite direction from Professor Magnus and the badgers Leo called over his shoulder. "I'll send you a patronus when I get more news." With those words the Librarian dissapered up the staircase in a quick trot. |
DADA HM Petrificus Digitirus, post 1 Minerva walked to the second floor where she was going to meet Harvey. She was happy he offered to help. She wasn't sure why, but since first year she loved doing spells on him. He was always so trusting of her, so it helped. Which sometimes would not go in his favor especially when she would change his hair. The thoughts of the spells they were learning this year in transfiguration crossed her mind and she chuckled, oh this just raised the bar a little didn't it. She looked around to see he wasn't there yet. Setting her bag down on the floor and pulled her wand out. She wanted to practice while she had time before she showed up. As much as she liked doing spells on her friend, she would never put him in danger. Thinking about the spell she said it in her head Petrificus Digitirus, Petrificius Digitirus. Then she said it out loud to make sure it sounded correct; "Petrificus Digitirus, Petrificus Digitirus." Next she decided to try the wand movement just for some extra practice. Making her wand to an upside down U a few times she smiled confident that it should work. |
