This was Unacceptable!!! Ariana walked into her dorm room and Scoffed... loudly what the hell was this!?

this was not normal..

andthen the SMELL hit her..

"Merlins Pajamas!!!" also the beds werent made.. probably not washed either..

ariana went further into the room and..



"WHERE ARE MY THINGS!?!?!?!?!"

Someone was going to get hit

Dragging Derry along, Peyton slowly and cautiously walked up to the girl dorms. Once West announced there were no trunks in the boy's dorms Peyton panicked a little bit inside about her stuff. Namely Thor, her kneazle.

The stench hit her first and she gagged. "UGH! Are they trying to murder us with stink bombs?" she said, covering her nose with the front of her robes. SHE WAS SO TELLING!

Entering the fourth year dorms, green eyes scanned the area. No Thor. No trunks. Spider webs. This was things you saw in horror films. "What's this blasphemy!" Peyton exclaimed, throwing her arms into the air. The smell hit her again and she covered her nose.

"Something serious is--" going on, she was going to say, but something ran past over her feet. "Derry," she said, keeping her voice in an oddly calm tone. "Something just ran over my feet." Peyton didn't want to look down. What if it was a three headed demon?

She squeaked, grabbed Derry's robe sleeve and dragged her to the exit. "Run!" She was never good in bad situations.

Upon hearing a familiar voice (shout) Peyton squeaked louder so Ariana could hear them. "There's live fungi!" She didn't know what it really was, and this was no time for research, so she said what popped into her head first.

Mmmkay... Derry followed Peyton into the dorm room but... "Occhh kich! What's that smell!" she said as she entered, coughing in surprise. "It's digusting..." She looked around, her eyebrow raised. "I was expecting more than this from a magical school, I can tell ye..."

But where was Lando? And her trunk..? "Where are my BOOKS?!" she STARED around the room with her big hazel green eyes, almost as if looking would make them appear. And then Peyton spoke...

Hmm... Derry glanced down and was going to say something when she was yanked towards the door. "Calm down it's just a rat, we used to have them living in our stables, they won't hurt you..." And she certainly wasn't going to run. Well... maybe from the smell... She pinched her nose with her fingers and looked around the room. "This is gross... this isn't even liveable... I wouldn't let pigs live in here...... and where on Earth is my cat..." she added, her voice falling to a lower tone. She was scared and she wanted Lando please... she wrang her hands together in front of her and tried to figure out what to do. She was new here, she didn't know the protocol for any of this. Could someone ELSE do something?

Dormitory. Kat was making her way to her dormitory and lay on her bed and just FALL ASLEEP. Maybe she just needed her sight off the filthy and dirty common room. Maybe the dorms weren't too bad? But she wasn't too sure. The prefect had yet to know what other things she had to see in this place.

Why were there screaming? "OI. Guys, what's with all the screaming?" she had to know. Not as if Bartholomew Henry had broken its way to their dorm right? "No screaming pl-"

Something then made its way in between Kat's feet. Looking down, she saw a RAT. The prefect panicked and screamed. Rats were NOT supposed to take them by surprise just like that. That was just so HEART-WRECKING.

Oh awkward.

Uh... "Sorry," she said.

New chick say what?

Peyton turned around and raised an eyebrow at Derry. "Hogwarts is a great school...it's just going through a phase," she said calmly, though really, Peyton was far from calm. "Besides, didn't you hear the elves have left." Stupid, stupid elves. Now there was no one to clean and keep the place tidy. Shouldn't the staff take care of that now?

She ignored Derry's exclamation about her books. Peyton didn't care for books. She used them as pillows. Then she let out a huff. "I'm not scared of rats. My friend back home has a pet rat. His name is Tony." Just saying. Why would anyone be scared of rats?

Then she was talking about pigs. Peyton tugged her robe to her nose to cover the stench. "First off, I don't know why pigs would live here." They belonged in a farm, okay. "Second. I'm out." PEACE.

OHHHH!

There was KAT. Thank goodness, and she hadn't been screaming. "I don't think that's rat. I'm pretty sure it's live fungi." Come on! Look at the mess in here. It was possible. Peyton wasn't staying up here any longer. IT SMELLED.

"I'm going back to the common room." Peyton was outies.

Making her way to the girl's dorms, Zoe just wanted to fall into bed and not think about all that was going on. This hadn't happened last year! What was going on? As soon as she entered the room her face contorted in disgust. Merlin! What in the world was going on in their dorm? Looking around for her trunk and things she spun in a circle "Where...?" The beds were filthy! Now she just wanted to curl up and cry!

They couldn't sleep, with the disgusting beds, the common room completely a mess and disgusting, she had come up here to get some sleep and take her stuff from the dorm and find somewhere else to sleep and yet now? She'd come in to find her trunk not even there!

And what on earth was that smell? It certainly wasn't the smell she'd smelled earlier that made her feel funny! Wrinkling her nose she got closer to one of the beds and nearly gagged. "We need to clean this place..." she muttered.

Dorms are the safest place to be in. Everyone has their own area, their own space to think and feel comfortable. So the fact that machine had to be in the way made Juliet a bit annoyed but the moment that she entered to the dorms..........................................

0______________________________0

"What is going on in here?" there are not enough words to describe where and what she is seeing right now. Why are all the curtains like that? The sheets on the bed? The mess on floor? The cobwebs? "Is anyone smelling this as well?" she said after inhaling some of it. She covered her nose as fast as she could she tried walking around. Tried, because everything right now is just filthy and disgusting.

1 Knut is not even worth it to stay in this part of the common room. UGHHHHHH!!!! Juliet hated this. She wants to sleep in a nice, comfortable bed-- one that doesn't stink or is not in the brink of breaking down, possibly. If there is one thing she could not take, it's the fact that her way of seeing that things should be in order especially in the dorms --- are entirely NOT in their proper places.

She took out her wand. She cannot take this anymore. Aiming at cobwebs and other things that are on the wall "Scourgify!" because NO she's not going to scrub those things off. Ewww.

DUST

COBWEBS

DUST

COBWEBS AGAIN

AND DUST

EVERYWHERE!

And, was that a rat?

KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Merlin's stripped pajamas! What's really going on in Hogwarts? Christina watched her dorm and it looked.. awful. Oh, come on! How could someone stay in this place like this huh? Even the basement in her home was waaaaaaay much better than this place. She'd never felt comfortable with dirty place like this. Ewww... "ACHOOOO!" She sneezed. See? Dirty and dusty place just made people sick.

But thanks to Professor Flamsteed who had given them the assignment to use the vacuum cleaner. Weird, huh? An astronomy Professor gave an assignment about muggle cleaning equipment that she thought it'll be suitable for muggle studies one. Stared at the vacuum cleaner, Christina decided to clean up her spot first. "Vacavus!" She tapped her wand to the vacuum cleaner. Okay, let's see if this thing could work.

Just when Sonea wanted to put her vacuum cleaner away she heard a scream, coming from the Girls dorm! Sonea stood still for a few seconds, trying to decide what she would do, would she go and look? Or would she stay here and be a coward? Sonea didn’t wanted to go, but she also knew that she eventually needed because… It was also the place where she needed to sleep during this school term! Sonea hated the thought that she needed to go to another dirty place and she was afraid that there was something really awful there because she had heard the scream!

The young girl took a deep breath and stepped forward with her wand in her right hand and pulling her vacuum cleaner with her in her left hand. When she stepped inside the girls dorm she immediately knew why the older girl had screamed, she herself also needed to suppress the urge to run away from this place! “No, not this place too” whispered Sonea shocked and blinked a few times with her eyes, trying to hide the tear who was now visible in her eye. This was all so wrong! She had missed Hogwarts so much and now that she was back everything had changed!

The chocked look on Sonea’s face disappeared and changed into a determinate look, she WANTED to do something and now she had the chance! She had the vacuum cleaner still with her and she could use it now perfectly in her own girls dorm! Sonea looked at the older girl and stepped careful toward the girl, she REALLY hated it and she was afraid to find spiders, especially now that Little princess was sick and she couldn’t order her rat to kill the spiders! “I help you” said Sonea
to the younger girl and tapped with her wand on her vacuum cleaner, whispered the spell, “Vacavus” and started to remove some dust and dirt from the floor, tryting to help the older girl, but.. she saw that only her vacuum cleaner was not enough to do this, this place was too dirty for only one vacuum cleaner and she needed help!

Having wandered into the girls dorm her eyes widened at how messy it was, even with the efforts of the two other Slytherin girls. Nodding slightly she looked around, her grip tightening on her own vacuum cleaner.

She wasn't going to sleep here while it looked like...like... this!!!!!!!

"I'll help you guys as well" Kahlan offered, a small, almost sad smile on her face as she looked around at this mess. Pulling out her wand she had to think for a moment to remember the spell that they'd used in class.

Vacumus? No... that didn't sound right...

Vacavus!

Yes that was the right one!

"Vacavus" she said, a smile crossing her face as the vacuum cleaner seemed to just come back to life as she started with the cob webs that were near the beds, small shivers of disgust going through her body as she did so before she quickly moved onto other cobwebs around the room before it died again... sighing she looked around... there was so much left to do that it wasn't funny!

She just stared at the vacuum cleaner that sucked up the dust on the floor. Was she just the only one who cared about this? If yes, Christina assumed that the other Slytherin girls were comfortable much with this mess. Ewwww..

But, apparently not.

Just a moment later the fourth-year snake noticed that someone joined her. Oh, thank Merlin! At least there's another girl who cared about this. "Thanks!" She smiled to... Damn, she didn't remember her name but that girl had ever introduced herself in front of Lafay and Christina was there. She really wasn't good in remembering people's name. And then another younger girl joined them, Probably a first year since she looked very ickle.

"Good job, Girls." She complimented. "Both of you can clean up the floor while I'm gonna clean the cobwebs." Because she seemed tall enough to reach the cobwebs location. Christina tapped her wand to vacuum cleaner again. "Vacavus!" Then she pointed the hose to the cobwebs around the dorm. Ewww.. look at them! And did she just suck a spider too?

O_________________O

Rest in peace, spider.

The blonde nodded at what the older girl said and looked questioning at her vacuum cleaner one more time as she nodded, some what determined to clean this floor because honestly, she was currently very scared to walk on it! And that was despite the fact that she was still wearing shoes!

Feeling quite comfortable with the spell that they'd learnt by now she pulled out her wand quite nonchalantly, tapping her vacuum cleaner with it again as she quietly spoke, "Vacavus"

Once again the vacuum cleaner seemed to just roar to life as she began vacuuming around the floors, her nose scrunched up as she tried to ignore anything that she thought she saw move...

She really hoped that whatever she'd just vacuumed up hadn't been moving...

O_____o

“EEEEEK!” A big spider ran over the floor and almost over her feet! “DIE STUPID SPIDER!” Yelled Sonea and did quickly a step back and yelled “Vacavus!" while she pointed her vacuum cleaner at the big, scary and especially dangerous spider *She is thinking that every spider is dangerous*. The young girl was not sad that the spider would probably die in the vacuum cleaner and was only happy that she had removed one spider out to the common room.

After a few minutes work she heard how the older girl gave her and, Sonea looked behind her, the other Slytherin girl named Kahlan, a compliment about the work they had just done. Sonea smiled at the other girl whose name was Christina, if she remembered it correctly and looked around her where she could clean a little more. But when she heard that the older girl told her what she needed to do she hesitated for a few seconds, wondering if she would accept it that somebody else was taking the lead and could tell the others who what could do. But… Sonea looked at the older girl and decided that she probably not tried to be the boss and only wanted to clean this quick and nodded to her, but… She still didn’t liked it that somebody else, if the person was older or not, would tell her what she needed to do or not. She had not learned at home to follow, no she was normal the one who told the maids what to do!



Just when Sonea had cleaned enough dirt from the floor to walk careful without stepping accidentally on a spider, what was Sonea’s biggest nightmare, and without getting you feet more dirty than they already were and looked at Kahlan who was busy with cleaning behind her. And just when Sonea looked at the first year she saw that she had cleaned something what seemed to…move? Sonea swallowed and stared at the vacuum cleaner from the younger girl. “I hope that the professor has spoken a spell over or vacuum cleaners so that everything was it inside will not escape from it.” Said Sonea slowly to the other girl.

Still somewhat in shock at the idea of something alive being inside her vacuum cleaner the first year still just stood there with eyes wide as she stared at it like it had some sort of disease. Hearing Sonea speaking to her the blonde nodded, biting her lip as she gulped at what the other girl said.

"I really hope so too... I think I might have to warn him about something being inside it though..." because that would be awkward if he just emptied it and that thing was still alive...

She didn't want him to be attacked by... it...

Having thought about a place to find a potions ingredient Peyton dashed to the girl's dorms. There was still a lot of dust and unknown smells around. She was actually hoping to see if she'd find some of that live fungi she thought was in here.

Opening the door she found Thor's tail swishing from under her bed. Ignoring him she peeked at the edges of her nightstand, but found dust. It was then the black and gray striped kneazle burst from under the bed, pawing at something.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

It was a dead cockroach. She was about to kick it away when an idea popped into her head. That could work as a potions ingredient, right? Taking a phial from her trunk, she stored the dead cockroach in it. Out of curiosity she knelt down and peeked under her bed. There were three dead cockroaches and a live one. Scooping them into the phial, she closed it with the stopper and jiggled it. There. Peyton then skipped out of the room; leaving a very displeased kneazle behind.

BEAM.

It had taken her an hour of organizing, but she was finally done. Everything was clean (at least in her bag) and she could go downstairs to help.

But SLEEP!

But HELPING.

But SLEEP!

Tanner looked over at her bag. She supposed she deserved something. She wasn't asking for the moon or anything, but that was not an easy task. She suspected it involved nearly fifteen minutes of organizing, about five of cleaning out her folders and then six of putting things in folders. Calculate finding the little pouch she had bought to keep her things in and the anger that had come with and she probably did and she probably had a solid hour of organization under her belt. Not to mention the little pep talks she had given herself. She didn't care if those were only a few seconds long. They counted.

And it looked like they were bringing in bags or something last time she checked. Either that or sitting around. She tended not to observe things very well. Yeah, they could do it. Tanner wanted some sleep now.

Grabbing her blankets, the medium sized girl almost dove into them and rested her head on the pillow. After that, she was out like a light.

Lando HAD to be in here. Derry had checked everywhere else, so the only place he could be hiding was in the dorms, right?

AHA!

"Landooo..." she said in a soft, singsong voice. "Ch ch ch..." She rubbed her fingers together and clicked her tongue until the silver tabby emerged from under one of the beds, a baby rat's tail hanging out of it's mouth. Eurgh. Gross. Well, at least it meant he'd be good in the stables back home...

WAIT. Rats tails were ingredients, weren't they? RESULT! Two in one! Derry swiftly yanked the tail out of Lando's mouth and dropped it in another one of the phials, then she leant down to pick up her cat, but he'd already bounced off out of the room. Oh for god's sake... now she had to chase him? Great. Derry stood up and an off after him.

Well. Messy room was still...not at Peyton standard, but at least it wasn't as bad as mistaking things on the ground as live fungi. This place needed cleaning. She'd found Thor playing with yet another cockroach in the morning. Merlin, if she told her mother about this mess the woman would bolt down here and do something about it, but since they weren't on talking terms, then no.

Peyton shrugged to herself. She was happy without that woman here. She was happy flying and being part of the Quidditch team. She was happy staring at people especially certain boys. Most of all, she was happy eating ice cream.

Spotting Thor's tail from under her bed, Peyton squeezed herself under there, hauling the vacuum along with her.

SNEEZE.

It was dusty all right. "Vacavus!" she said, her wand making a clacking sound as it was tapped on the vacuum.

Thor arched his back and hissed at the vacuum. "Oh, come on, you bloody coward. It won't eat you." Would it? Probably not. As the vacuum sucked in dust and Merlin knows what else, Peyton slid herself further under her bed.

SHROO-KRPLUNK!

"Thooooor!" Somehow the kneazle's tail ended up inside the vacuum's hose. He hissed, dug his claws into the ground and tried to pull himself away. This shouldn't have been comical in the slightest way, but it reminded Peyton of a cartoon and she couldn't help the giggles that escaped her.

The vacuum came to a sudden stop and Thor bolted out from under then bed. If someone was to walk in they'd find a pair of legs sticking from under the bed, giggling emitting from it.

Kat had done her rounds of vacuum cleaning in the Common Room downstairs. She finished her task in there, but now she was going to try to see what terror was left for her in the Slytherin Girls Dormitory. Kat carried the vacuum up the stairs so that it didn't get damaged and go thud-thud-thud if she dragged it up the stairs. Ahem, anyway that wasn't the point why. She knew the dormitories needed a bit of dusting and... stuff they should do with the rats.

GAH. The prefect cringed at the thought of those animals. They needed to do something about that. Soon. Or now. Anytime as long as they got them out of this place.

For a moment, Kat just looked around her dormitory and examined it. Spider webb over there. Dust over there. Dirt over there. Everything gross everywhere. Maybe even a RAT under their beds. Horror. At least they managed to dust their beds off a bit, so there wasn't must dirt on them. Least there was no sneezing in here so Kat could stand on top of one of them to try to reach that spider web.

"Vacavus!" Kat tapped her vacuum and it turned to life. Yep, let's get this over with. She pointed its nuzzle on the fluff of dust and all things dirty over at the corner and it got sucked it. As for the spider web, Kat stood on her bed and did her magic there. ZOOM! Spider web gone. All clean, I guess.

Lalalalalaaaa. Derry was feeling giddy. She'd finished her homework for the evening and was looking through her pile of books to find something she hadn't read yet whilst singing to herself. "I try to speak to you everyday... But each word we spoke, THE WIND BLEW AWAAAAAAAAAAY!!!" She jumped up onto her bed and threw her arms out. She WAS Merida right now. Yep.

"Could these waaaalls come tumbling doooooown?!" she belted, swinging off one of her bedposts and meaning to land on the floor, but catching her foot on a stack of books and falling face down into a pile of books, clothes and person. "Ow. Apparently they can..." she muttered to herself, holding her bloody nose.

No.More.Slacking. Nope! She was going to finish this essay for tomorrow. Because it was due tomorrow. That's why she was doing it tonight, made perfect sense. See, she'd have done it before but she always likes to give her mind all the time to find something to add in the essay. And because she was lazy and liked to procrastinate. Cassia dragged her book and textbook and a couple of parchments as will as ink and a quill. She was set to go! The dormitories are where people sleep so there really couldn't be any other quieter place. Pfffft. O'course not! She had everything thought out perfectly now she just had fill this parchment. Two inches of ink and she would be free to go. Oh, she could totally do that.

The Slytherin started scribbling, her tongue stuck out in concentration as she scribbled in large letters. You know, that helps the parchment to be filled quickly. Wasn't she a genius! In the midst of her concentration a voice erupted! She tried to cover her ears, not because the girl's voice was horrible but because she was trying to focus here. Well, you can't cover your ears and write at the same time, can you?

Cassia decided to try and continue writing through the voice..... until..? Was that an Earthquake!

"OUCHHHH!" Cassia shrieked as the red-headed girl landed ON HER BED! And not just that but tipped off her ink bottle! "Heeeeeeey!" The blond said pointing her finger! "Don't bleed on my sheets, please," She added please. She was trying to be nice despite the frown on her face.

"And did you break something? Except maybe my rib?" She asked absent-mindedly as she stared at the spilled ink bottle.

NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOO! She'd been doing so well with the whole not falling over thing. She'd even managed to get through pretty much every quidditch practice without falling off her broom or anything. Maybe Quidditch was an exception to her clumsiness rule. Oh nooo and she'd fallen on someone!!! SHE'D THOUGHT THE DORM WAS EMPTY!!!

Blushing furiously (which did not help the nosebleed by the way) Derry sat away from the bed, her hand cupped over her face. "Oh god I'm so sorry!!!" she said. "I didn't think there was anyone in here, I wouldn't have been... I... I don't s-sing when p-p-people are around..." Especially with such... vigor. And then she'd FALLEN!

Derry fumbled for her wand and pointed it at her face to fix her nose, then at the bed to clean up the ink. "Oh I didn't mean to do this I... um... you can have some of my ink if you need it, I'm sorry.." She felt like an idiot. Nooo. She was just having fun... and now she'd embarrassed herself and injured this other girl. "A-a-are you ok-k-kay?" she asked, frowning at herself and wiping the blood from her nose with her sleeve. Why did she have to have this bloody stammer? Ugghhhh.

Cassia knew she wasn't that tall. And she was skinny but she didn't know that her bodybuild was that small to be not spotted in the dorms. Well, yeah kinda cared about this the most. But then she turned her attention back to the fellow fourth-year who was apologizing..was she blushing or was it her hair being reflected on her face? Could that even happen? She doesn't sing when people are around. Now Cassia just felt like a creeper. Like a week ago she had ran into Bliss singing and the puffer said the same. Okay, she wasn't doing this on purpose. Okaaay!

"It....it's ok," Cassia said shaking her head, "I should've made a sound or something," You know to draw attention to herself. "Though your voice isn't bad," Not that she was focusing much but the ginger looked like she could use a compliment. The blond watched how the the nose was fixed and bed was cleaned. Well, that was easy. "Thank you," She offered a weak smile because the other girl, whose name Cassia was trying to remember, seemed to be feeling real bad. DERRY! Right! She remembered the name. Like she saw the girl around, classes and all. And their beds were next to each other so yeah.

Ink? She wasn't worried about that. "Err..Calm down..Derry, right?" Because it'd be stupid to confuse her name in such situation. Cassia patted the spot on the mattress before her ,"Have a seat you look....kinda shaken." And red. Also she was stammering. She didn't say that outloud. So the girl needed to calm down. "I'm fine. I wasn't the one in the air," She chuckled lightly hoping that it'd lighten the mood?

Reaching for a water flask on her nightstand, Cassia handed it to Derry, "Here, drink," She offered. "Water is good," Now Cassia just sounded stupid. What kind of thing to say.

In all honesty Derry was unlikely to have heard something even if she did make a sound, since she was pretty much constantly stuck in a daydream. Her voice wasn't bad? Well her dad had told her that... but she always just assumed it was 'cause he kinda had to - being her dad and all. "Oh I... I uh... thanks." she said, wiggling her nose all Bewitched style to make the weird feeling from the nosebleed go away.

Calm down? Heh. She was doing the panicky thing again wasn't she... She did that a lot. At least she wasn't hyperventilating this time. "Uh, yeah, Derry..." she confirmed, nodding a bit and taking a deep breath to try and calm herself. Why did she always manage to get into this situations? She should get some of that liquid luck everyone kept talking about - you could probably water it down so you could take it every day and just be a normal amount of lucky...

She sat down next to the girl... Cass...something. "Thanks I... I'm okay." Derry mumbled, glancing at the floor. "I um.. didn't mean to um..." Oh shut up Derry. She gave up and just took a drink of the water. "I um... didn't ruin your homework did I..? I've um... done all mine... if you want some help..?"
