A bit confused about the plot? Housemates talking about a mysterious something going bump in the night? Here's where you can catch up on happenings around the castle and in Hogsmeade -- out of character, of course.

This means that unless your student character heard this stuff from other students or witnessed the actual event, your student character doesn't know about it.

Also, this is a reminder to everyone to only post updates on the school plot here. Please do not post the happenings of your student character in here; that kind of chat goes in the school chat thread.

Have fun!

Watching, she glided past a few students crowding the corridor and a handsome gentleman, grinning too broadly for her face at them. "Hello dearies!"

Headmistress has given her speech.

AND... the hag is the new Divination professor. ~~Naturally.~~

Her gaze was fixed on them, expectant. “Now one step back.” More staring and a brief pause. “Now return to your seats.”

…

“My dad always said if I was going to be a good leader, I’d need to be able to move a crowd. Looks like I’ve got that under control, am I right?” The Moxinator gave a little giggle!snort and smiled down at the kids. “I want to welcome you all to Hogwarts, students new and old. I’m Professor Meredith Moxley and your interim headmistress. Our thoughts are with Abraham Botros, the former headmaster and beloved professor, while he deals with personal matters. I trust we’ll all behave in a manner he would be proud of.”

“I’d like you all to give a warm welcome to the newest additions to the staff. Professor Ichihara for Transfiguration, Professor Hirsch for Defense Against the Dark Arts, Professor Primeaux for Charms, Professor Finch for History of Magic, Professor Draper for Care of Magical Creatures, and Professor Newton for Potions.” Merlin’s beard, that was a lot of people! “Probably would’ve been easier to point out who had returned, eh?” Cue a nervous laugh.

SHOOT. She’d forgotten the…the um woman and she had yet to learn her name. Uh…

“Oh and a very warm welcome to our new Divination professor. Yes,” She said quickly, vaguely gesturing to the terrifying woman.

“With that said, let’s eat! And don’t forget that this term I expect you to have fun, be safe, and make the right decisions!” Moxley out. There was food to be had.

"The moons children are coming dearie for you and the inhabitants of this school. They have already set their sights on a red headed girl in green robes with a badge. She is already in mortal danger. She will be first to succumb to the illness, you mark my words by year's end you'll have to use this fine food room as an infirmary.."

Not bothering to answer the woman's last question with an answer but a nod, Ursula trotted off around the length of the table to take up the directed seat next to the headwoman and beside the pretty young man.

Um... Has anyone else noticed this from the Witch/Hag?

The doll is loose in the castle! It could turn up anywhere!

If the two boys were to turn their heads to the doorway at exactly the right moment, maybe her shadow could be seen walking past the open door.

Another giggle. Another empty hallway once more.

CREEPY!!!!!!!

Where is it headed to next?!

If the students were to look at the right time, maybe that small red bonnet floating down from above could tell.

And now the doll has made a quick visit to the Weasley Swamp.

The silly girl had fallen into the swamp! More giggles echoed and bounced off the walls.

Before anyone could spot her, the doll disappeared around the corner clapping and giggling… Then gone.

griffin · 01-16-2016, 08:07 AM

The doll is at the Hufflepuff house table.

Until she tripped over the feet of a boy [Garreth] and stumbled over a girl's [Esme] feet, too. She was now propped up against Emse's leg, a hand resting on her shoe.

A faint giggle could be heart.

Ignoring the staring eyes and words spilling out of James mouth that stated otherwise she rummaged around in her huge bag for a certain spray. When she found it she let out a very crazy satisfied giggle.

Before Ursula could put her plan in action however a freaked out girl joined them in the gallery. Chivalrous James came to her defence though. Stroking him on the arm, Ursula smiled adoringly up at him before she looked over in the girls direction cackling. "You do well to keep your twin in your sight. On the first Hogsmeade weekend she will come upon someone that will put a curse on her unless you keep her protected."

Ursula turned her crazy eyes on James, raised the spray bottle and sprayed her chivalrous admirer straight in the face with a heavy dose of love potion. No cupid needed here, old Ursula had her own tricks.

"Don't you love me James?"

The hag is using love potion on the CoMC professor.

BanaBatGirl · 01-26-2016, 02:37 AM

A little belated, but hmmmmmmm. An update on the love of Professor Draper's life you must have:

So he wasn’t about to throw her hand off, but GLARING was certainly happening regardless. Now if she could just take ~~a shower~~ a step back, that’d be fan-freaking-tastic.

And he could’ve dealt with her just fine had the student not shown up. Now things were difficult. Especially with her screaming and Ol' Smelly's stupid prophecy revealing (which James believed none of FOR THE RECORD). And again she went off about something or another and James rolled his eyes. Because for the love of Merlin, who would believe this stuff? It was absolute—

The Hufflepuff did.

Of course.

How great was this?! The day just kept getting all sorts of better.

”No one is cursing your Sister,” he confirmed turning to the Divinations Professor to give her a LOOK. But just as he turned around he was hit in the face with a mist of… something or another. Which was NOT OKAY. Pulling his arm away from her creepy fingers, he took a few steps back. Coughing. What was that stuff. And right when it hit him, it ACTUALLY hit him.

So instead of scoffing at her question like he normally would have, the Professor nodded in a love-struck, dazed sort of way. Yes James did love me You. James did love you.

The truth is not a curse, the truth is a warning so that you can prepare yourself for life after she's gone." Ursula could be nice when she was up to something.

"Your creatures they are not as tame as they should be for a school full of children. You should take me there so we can have a look at which ones need to be more secure." She needed to get him alone for her plans to fully work. It had been awhile since she had tricked an adult wizard.

Slowly, James was starting to feel different. Aside from the glazed over eyes, the dopey smile, and the more relaxed arch in his back, something else had changed about James’ demeanor. Instead of scoffing at what the hag had to say, he was now nodding along in agreement. Understood about 2% of what she was saying, but still nodding. He was a man in ♥♥♥ L-O-V-E ♥♥♥ Anything she said sounded absolutely, positively perfeeeeect.

Especially the bit about his creatures. Were they really not as tame as they should be? Well, if Ursula said so it must be true. He gave her a mellow nod, tugging gently at her interlinked arm. If Ursula says that the creatures aren’t well, THEN THEY MUST GO SEE THEM RIGHT AWAY! But maybe they could stop by the kitchens first and get a milkshake.

One milkshake.

Two straws.

Wow, sounded like an absolute dream in the—

He turned to the student as she addressed him. What? He tilted his head, unaware that his reactions were seconds delayed and his movements incredibly fluid. ”I’ve never been betteeeeeer,” he only looked at the child for a few seconds before returning his star-struck gaze back to Ursula. He sighed longingly. Wasn’t she the absolute, most BEAUTIFUL… thing he had EVER SET HIS EYES ON. Woooooooow. He could really just stay here and stare all day. Woooooowwwww <3 <3

"We shall go to your creatures my dear." Her voice horse and withered, but to him would sound like a soft romantic dream. She loved the effects of the potion. The look the wizard had after she sprayed it.

Turning them towards the exit she looked at the girl, "Go find your sister and say goodbye." Her long fingers waved as she walked out with her newest prey.

"I don't know what you're planning, but you won't get away with it!" But...what was she going to do about the Professor??? She didn't know anything about the antidote to love potions. Would she have to go to rat man?

Probably.

"STOP THREATENING MY SISTER!!!" She glared as she watched the two walking off. This wasn't over.

But when she smiles at James it ain’t hard to tell, he’s in LOVE. ”Oh sweet Ursula, what shiny teeth you’ve got!” he exclaimed, dropping his head back smiling like a giddy fool.

Couldn’t believe it. He was going to share an entire milkshake with heeeeeer. With TWO straws ♥ .

Again he turned very sloooooooooowwwwllyyyyyyyy towards the little Hufflepuff as she spoke. What did she say? Love? Love Potion? LOVE POTION? LOVE POTION!?!!?! LOOOOVE POTION!?!?!! LOVE POTION!!

”Did she?” he giggled. What. Yes, giggled. It was a giggle. ”How thoughtful of her!” so sweet of Ursula to give him a love potion. ”She’s so thoughtfuuuul,” he rolled his head back towards the DROP DEAD GORGEOUS SUPERMODEL URSULA BLACK.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Ursuuuuuulaaaaaaaaaaaa Blaaaaaaaack ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Even her name sounded beautiful.

Ursula, Ursula, Ursula, Ursula, Ursula, UrsulaaaaAAAAAaaaAAAAaaaaAAAAAaaaa <3

Her voice traveled through his head like the sound of a thousand and one angelic, morning birds. ♥ Oh what it is like to be in loooooooooove. He nodded his head in agreement THE CREATURES. If Ursula said they had to go THEN THEY HAD TO GO! Hopefully she’d be willing to lead because James felt like jello. But like pink jello. Pink jello with lots of pretty heart sprinkles over top. Not the regular jello. The in-love jello. ♥

He rested his head on her shoulders—which was quite difficult seeing as apparently she was of the short drop dead gorgeous supermodel variety—as he followed her down the corridor.

... He was going to hate himself once this thing wore off. ~~if he survived~~

What will happen to (or with?) the creatures, I wonder. :yoda:

From "Divination Class":

Moxley had been feeling uneasy about the Divination Professor for ages now and the things she had been hearing from her students only heightened her concern, enough for her to do a little digging. Her findings had been a blow to her stomach and as the new headmistress, she felt as though she'd made a terrible, horrible mistake. One she hoped could be remedied with a good old fashioned conversation over some tea. Like, actual tea. Not any of that putrid stuff the woman was into. Unfortunately for the Moxinator, tea would have to wait.

The tale James had told her was quite something and while she could understand the man's horror, she couldn't help but be a little amused. Just a little. Tiny bit. TINY. Not that she'd told him as much. Instead she'd dutifully jumped up and followed him, thinking that this was her opportunity to corner the woman outside of her tent-because she was NOT going in there, okay?-and bringing her back to the office so she could get to the bottom of things...privately.

As they neared the far side of the tent, Moxley was paying more attention to the cloud of smoke in the air. What WAS that? If Professor Draper had been concerned about potions, maybe he had a point. "Perhaps a bubble-head charm would be wise." She was fairly certain many of the students already had crushes on her, as well as some staff. (We're talking about you, Hirsch.) Better to play it sa-

??

Screaming, yes she'd heard it. Heard it, put the charm on herself, and ran after Draper as fast as her little legs could carry her.

The scene she walked into was one she'd never expected in a MILLION years. There was a child. IN. A. POT. THEREWASACHILDINAPOTOFBOILINGWATER! She quickly extinguished the flame and yelped, "WHAT IN THE NAME OF MERLIN IS GOING ON HERE?"

Quote:

Finally he came to a stop. And… BLINK BLINK BLINK. What the heck was going on here?

So uh, take it that now wouldn’t be an appropriate time to say “I told you so”?

Right yeah, definitely not appropriate. He quickly shoved the idea away as he looked around at all the panicked and confused faces. Something was wrong. ”Must be another one of her potions…” he muttered to Meredith. They did not look right.

Seeing that Meredith took care of the fire , James turned his attention to the red sparks that had caught his eyes. W H A T? Drawing his attention to the Gryffindor (Blaise), he pointed his wand at the serpents, casting a nonverbal evanesco to vanish them. SNAKES UP HIS LEGS??? Where did the hag come up with this stuff. Come on, SERIOUSLY!?

And…. Did those kids have antlers?

Never mind that, first he went to lift the little guy (Brady) out of the pot. ”You okay, kid?” he asked lowering himself so that he could properly talk to the little guy. Merlin, was it just him or were some of these kids elf-sized?

Urgency. He’d take the rest of the situation based on urgency. Snakes had been taken care of, child was now out of pot, and nothing else looked like it needed his urgent response. Good, this was a start. He assessed the boy, waiting for him to declare any injuries he may have. If there were any immediate horrors, James would take care of it while the Headmistress found out what exactly was going on here.

Though in James’ opinion, that much was already figured out. Hag poisons Professors. Hag poisons students. Hag boils student. Hag should be fired. And that’s the end of that. Oh yeah and “I told you so”.

No this wasn't in her plan. How could they ruin her lunch, she was starving and the kids were so juicy looking. "Just holding a lesson about ways to do readings miss.' The boy was coming out of the fire now this was not good. She latched on to his arm. "This little one got so excited he jumped into the pot." She smiled showing her nasty teeth.

The smell of boiling child was too much for her so close though, she couldn't help herself but she leaned towards the boy and sniffed at him and thought about taking a bite at his ear. He just smelled so delicious. Just one little bite wouldn't hurt..

They were adults so they were either going to eat him, let him die or they were going to die on him. Sad but true in this moment but the last part but just the first years personal life. "A LITTLE HELP HERE WOULD BE GREAT!" Bradson yelled out to the professor and the headmistress. That would be great.

Bradson noticed the fire was gone and then he was being lifted out of the pot. He looked around and saw Professor Draper. Brady blinked a few times and looked at the man. "Yeah, sure." The Scottish boy shrugged. He was just put in a boiling hot water and was about to be eaten by the hag in the room. "If my grandmother finds out about this you guys won't like it one bit. You won't hear the end of it." The first year said.

WHAT WAS ONE HIS ARM? WHO WAS ON HIS ARM? Brady winced in pain as he felt the hand on him. "GET OFF OF ME!" Bradson kicked and flailed around. She was sniffing him? WHY WAS SHE DOING THAT? Brady flailed around and more and then put some force with his head and head butted the hag.

Moxley agreed with Draper's assessment, glad for the bubble-head charm as the children seemed completely disoriented. At least James had a handle on the most important issues going on, like the child in the pot. A CHILD HAD BEEN COOKING ON HER WATCH. She was never going to live this down. Merlin help her. She was furious. FURIOUS.

Producing a gust of wind with her wand, the headmistress tried to clear up any of the remaining smoke lingering in the air. She needed to know what was really happening because she was NOT buying whatever it was the Ursula woman was selling. The lady was....going to bite that child! O_O

"STEP AWAY FROM THAT BOY, MADAM." Be cool, Mox. Down the Gryffindor a bit. Okay. They had this under control. "Professor Draper, please get a handle on him." She highly doubted headbutting the crazy lady was going to help, though she did understand the boy's reasoning. How often are you nearly supper and live to tell about it? She'd have headbutted the woman too. "Pr-" Well, calling the woman professor seemed wildly ridiculous now. "Miss Black, whatever your alleged intentions were, this is unacceptable. You need to follow me back to my office, now. We have things to discuss." She looked to James briefly, wand still gripped tightly in her hand. "Please see to it that these kids make it back to the castle once whatever it is causing this has worn off. You might want to call for backup."

Eyes locked on the woman in question once more, she motioned for her to get moving towards the castle.

Oh, nothing but a bit of Hufflepuff Soup.

Without any warning, the porcelain doll exploded into tons of tiny, little pieces. Nothing was on fire, but as the doll became a mere pule of broken porcelain, a strong gust of wind burst forth, whipping into Thornton with the strength of an animal, enough to knock him backwards.

Two glass eyeballs rolled towards the door of the bathroom.

Strangely enough, despite the warmth in the castle, you might detect an unwelcome and sudden chill in the air..

Stranger still, the shoelaces belonging two of the students at the Gryffindor table... Seemed to be tying themselves together... Quite neatly and efficiently, until the laces and shoes of the two students were deliciously tangled together. Should one raise, the other would receive quite the shock.

Shoelaces tying themselves together?
