| | Forgotten Bathroom The rickety old door that previously would not budge no matter who tried to open it for nearly a century has suddenly become a bit more accommodating.
Upon first glance, the interior of the room resembles nothing more than a disused bathroom covered in dust and cobwebs but with orange boxes embellished with a large 'W' thrown about the place haphazardly. The contents of these boxes, while very old, are still potent and functioning. So be careful opening them and inspecting their contents. You may just set off a dungbomb or Weasleys' Wildfire Whiz-bangs. Perhaps you'll get lucky and find some Extendable Ears or a Screaming Yo-yo or something else entirely.
A crawlspace in one of the abandoned stalls will lead you to the Gryffindor Tower Reading Room. You'll just need to stand on the toilet to reach it. |

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf He knew he had said the grounds in class...but he was just going to blame the moving staircases for causing himself and Elora to end up on the sixth floor instead of the ground floor. "I haven't really explored this-s-s floor much," he explained as he tried the door on the forgotten bathroom and pushed it open.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH...look at all the cobwebs and STUFF!
Grabbing the first year gently by the hand, Derf tugged her inside behind him." Mum never told me about this-s-s room!" he exclaimed, blue eyes darting around at all the orange boxes placed haphazardly about the room. "Let's-s s-s-see waht's ins-side s-some of them!"
Or ... you know ... what's inside of loads of them. That worked too.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Elora "Eli" Smith First Year | Huzzah! Reply to Derf! Elora followed Derf happily after class, still new to the school, it was nice to have someone show her around, especially a friend who she was quite fond of. However, a worried look appeared across her features once she realized they were on the 6th floor.
Elora let out a small laugh before shaking her head. "...Then I guess we're going on an adventure. She murmured trying to keep the atmosphere light. Even if she was a little...scared, to say the least. Once Derf opened the door, she looked around in amazement at the boxes.
However, the first thing to catch her eye was the old cobwebs.
Although she was fond of all animals and creatures, spiders were not on that list.
Before she could oppose, she was already inside the forgotten bathroom. Her eyes scanned the room, before landing on one box near the sink. She tapped on Derf's shoulder lightly with her free hand before pointing to the said box. Can we open that one first?" she asked eagerly, her eyes twinkling with curiousity, unable to contain her excitement.

Can we open that one first?" she asked eagerly, her eyes twinkling with curiousity, unable to contain her excitement. "Mum told me that everyday at Hogwarts-s-s was-s an adventure," he grinned. Or had the potential to be one...which seemed a waste NOT to do something to make it a proper one. Small adventures anyway. His curiosity was extensive but also within limits. Especially since he was with Elora who was NEW and younger than him. Arguably better at some spells than him though.
He had been tempted to go with her to the girls' loo so they could try and get into the Chamber of Secrets, but he figured he ought to try that again with an older student. Which made him miss Alice now and think about the lock of her phoenix-like hair he had tucked away safely in his drawer back in his dorm.
Glancing over his shoulder at the first year's touch, Derf nodded his head and bound over towards the box without a second thought. "This one first then," he nodded. The label on the outside was worn and faded...so it was hard to make out what its contents may be. He could, sort of, make out the word P-I-E on the label though. Tearing off the lid, something went flying right by his face and only just barely grazed his cheek - leaving something sticky and wet stuck there.
Next thing he knew there was an unceremonious SPLAT as whatever it was had thrown itself right in Elora's face.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Addyson Lynette Dane Ravenclaw First Year | Potions Lab -- Extra Credit Assignment -- Post 4 Slytherindor ♛ The Crazytastic Besties ♛ Shan Watson ♛
Alright. Time to begin.
Setting her bag down on a bathroom sink, Olivia readied both vials and set her notebook in front of her. She had already written herself a note clearly saying that she should take the antidote after she had the confounding concoction. Olivia also decided that it would be best to take the vials in a quieter part of the castle as she was afraid of the affects the concoction could have on her.
Though what did Olivia have to worry about exactly? She had brewed the milder version of the concoction. Lifting the first vessel into the air as if she was toasting an imaginary crowd, she then brought it to her lips. "Cheers," she said before downing the potion. She winced at the bitter taste on her tongue she shivered. Gah. That was awful. What had she drunk again? She blinked and looked at the empty vial in her hand. Erm... Had she drunk something or had it always been.... empty? Why on earth would she be carrying around an empty vial exactly? She shook her head and glanced at the mirror. What time was it? Her mind began to wander, becoming easily distracted. She became so distracted that she even forgot about the second vial that she held in her hand.
It was only when she moved her fingers in her left hand that she nearly dropped the vial. No, no, no, no. Broken glass was bad. It was bad indeed. Sighing, she brought the vial up to eye level and analyzed the liquid. Hmm... What was this for? It was at that moment that she saw a journal. Her journal? Or was it someone else's? Biting her lip, she noticed the handwriting and peeked at it more closely. A note! Drink vial 2 after vial 1... Pretty straightforward instructions. She lifted the second vial up to her lips and then paused. Should she trust the note? Who wrote it? What did they want?
She took a chance and drank the second vial. The cobwebs that had been setting in her mind began to clear away. They were wiped away almost instantaneously and she remembered. Olivia had come here to try the confounding concoction brew and take the antidote which she had managed to do somehow. It was probably due to her willingness to take risks. She had become more comfortable with risk taking when she couldn't remember anything when nothing distracted her. Reckless but good... it worked somehow. Olivia then piled her vials and journal into her bag and then headed back to the Common Room to finish up her assignment.
