After clambering through a large circular door on the wall of the common room, you'll find yourself faced with series of underground tunnels, each leading to a dormitory. Once you've found yours, you'll discover large four-poster beds covered by cozy patchwork quilts. The soft glow from copper lamps illuminate the space and the copper bed-warmers on the walls ensure a warm night's sleep.

Can he just say that Hogwarts is SO extra with their dormitories? After a few nights in Hogwarts, Charlie still had a hard time finding his room because of the tunnels that stemmed to Merlin knows where. He went round and round and round and found himself going back to his original spot. "You know what would be helpful? A trail...like how Hansel and Gretel did it..." But alas...he's got no breadcrumbs to spare.

What he saw on the way to his dorm though was a wild chocolate frog hopping its way to freedom. That must be Derf's! He was the only Hufflepuff he knew who has an obsession with the candy. Charlie was quick to dive for the chocolate on the ground, barely escaping his clutched hand. "GOTCHA!!" Pinning the chocolate frog in between his fingers, he quickly popped it into his mouth, the other half still dangling and wiggling.

Charlie brushed himself off and walked towards the general direction where the chocolate frog came from. That must be Derf's dorm room, yeah? "...'ERF! I got ye CHOCLIT!" It was in his mouth now, so technically it was no longer the Prefect's but might as well let him know. "...'ERF??? You in here?"

*nomnomnom*

His dormmates were presently out elsewhere, which would be particularly good for a few of them who had not quite taken to his amused hysterics when he started going at chocolate frogs. And he had a small army of them hopping freely around the floor of the room with a pile of discarded wrappings flung about the base of the bed. But the real prize was the stack of chocolate frog cards surrounding him on his bed. He needed to sort through them, but he certainly did not need six more Dumbledore cards to his already two dozen, and still had several more to tear through...but so far he had still not found any of the three coveted cards he was missing from his collection.

........and then he heard a voice coming from outside the slightly ajar door.

"......come again?" he called out in reply, not...entirely catching what had just been said. Mostly because he hadn't been paying attention.

Charlie poked his head around the ajar door as he followed Derf's voice, and boy what a sight to behold! His prefect really was serious about this wizarding trading card business. "I found one of your chocolate frogs," he said, pointing to the candy still dangling and wiggling out of his mouth. "It was too tasty to miss...I hope you don't mind." he continued sucking the rest of the candy. Will he mind though? Charlie guessed not because look at the other rogue frogs hopping around aimlessly. Clearly, it was for anyone who was interested to eat it.

Ah, the beauty and charm of Hufflepoof.

Charlie who was the youngest member of his family, hasn't quite understood what personal space meant, so, he welcomed himself inside Derf's dorm and closed the door behind him with his foot. "How's the card hunt going? Any luck?" he asked, casually swiping another chocolate frog that scaled the wall closest to him and popped it into his mouth and looked over Derf's huge pile of pentagonal cards.

Derf wasn't sure who he was expecting to peek their head around the door, other than he was certain that it was none of his dormmates whose voices he had become very accustomed to and could pick out in a crowded space, but his lips curled into a grin at the younger boy's appearance. "Carl---Charlie, hey!" he chirped, flaking out on recalling the boy's preferred name. And then he took a look at the leg - that was giving a TWITCH, for the record - sticking out of the his mouth and noticeably winced. "Perfectly....I...can't really eat them."

And he was now going to turn away until the remains of the one chocolate frog were entirely consumed.

"It's....going," he sighed. "Got enough duplicates of the Founders and Dumbledore to make a neat card house. Least...ten rows, I reckon. Can't seem to get my hands on Bowman Wright or, ironically, Carlotta Pinkstone." At least ironic given what had happened the last few years at Hogwarts. "Sorta starting to wonder if...Pinkstone's have been discontinued given the nature of the wizarding world at large. But I'm sure there are some in circulation somewhere."

Reese had had a long day and he was just exhausted. so, he made his way down to his dorm room and slowly pulled off his clothes and changed into his pajamas... He turned and sat on the edge of his bed and looked at the picture of him with his two foxes, Pulsar and Radar, he had on his night stand.. He had raised them since they were kits and he and his sister Rylee had found Pulsar orphaned.. They had found his mum dead a short ways away.. Luckily Rian said they could keep him since she had her Finnec fox, Audi and she had gotten him Radar as a companion because Rylee was going off to school..

He wished he was home at Rian's with his furry brothers.. Instead he was here alone in a dorm underground. With a sigh he got under his covers and laid so he could see his picture.. Last thing to see at night,. First thing he saw in the morning..

"Sorta starting to wonder if...Pinkstone's have been discontinued given the nature of the wizarding world at large. But I'm sure there are some in circulation somewhere."

Derf's facial expression didn't go unnoticed, wondering if the older boy was sick of eating chocolate frogs. Just look at that pile of cards. He must've been consuming the confectionary on a daily basis. But then again, what does Charlie Kane know? He has yet to understand Derf's love for all things creature, in their real form or otherwise. "Why?" he continued looking at his prefect with a bit of confusion. Who'd turn down a good candy? "Are you lactose intolerant?" he pried further, wiping his hand on his uniform.

He snatched another rogue chocolate frog, snapped it in half and popped it into his mouth pressing the wiggling chocolate towards his right cheek with his tongue before biting it.

"OOOOH, the inventor of the Golden Snitch, AND...yeah, that witch..." Carlotta Pinkstone's advocacy had been one of the topics in History of Magic that roused arguments back in Ilvermorny. Charlie was told to steer clear away from the topic upon his arrival in Hogwarts, considering that he was under the tutelage of both the Williams twins. Charlie cleared his throat, and picked up Helga Hufflepuff's card. "You must have duplicates of super rare ones too...maybe you can trade that one for Wright's or Pinkstone's." Charlie made a thinking face, fanning himself with the card, "Have you tried asking in Quidditch Quality Supplies in Diagon Alley? Maybe they've got a patron there who's willing to trade cards with you." It may be a long shot, but it was worth a try.

"Or we can ask the whole house to eat chocolate frogs for you until our teeth fall off."

That...would be a fair conclusion to come to. "Nah," the fifth year chuckled with a bit of a gentle dismissive wave of the hand. "I'd brew myself an Antillergen Potion if that were the case." Or, well, ask someone to help or otherwise brew it FOR him since he and Potions still did not get on all that well. "I'm vegetarian...borderline vegan," he began explaining. Though really, he wasn't even close to being borderline vegan. He just liked to think he was sometimes. "And...I know it's not a real frog...but I can't ... eat something that is LOOKING at me."

And really, the fourth year just needed to be in a Transfiguration lesson with him and them tasked with changing an animal into something. Then it would be LOUD and clear, this creature thing.

Aaaaaaand Derf had to look away when the younger boy snapped the chocolate frog in half because YEEEESH.

And he was still looking away as the boy spoke. "Yeah...I do. Haven't had any luck at the Wizard Card Collectors' Club meetings just yet. At least not when it comes to those two. Luck with others though." And was Charlie done massacring that chocolate frog yet? Was it safe for him to look yet? "I reckon any shop would be more likely to offer me to buy it, you know? Good for business and stuff...but there is also something kinda exciting about trying and trying and then finally opening a chocolate frog and finding what you've been looking for too." He didn't really have a system when it came to collecting, not really, but he did enjoy the RUSH he felt before opening things up.

Chuckling a bit, Derf idkly picked up a few of his chocolate frog cards and flipped through them. "We'd all be in it together at least," he laughed, amused at the thought of a cete of Hufflepuffs on a quest to FIND a specific few chocolate frog cards. "Though, some sort of gathering in the common room ought to happen. Maybe I can talk with Stephanie about opening up one of our blanket fort sleep overs into an all encompassing common room thing..."
