| | |  Prefects' Bathroom
 As you walk along the fifth-floor corridor and pass by a statue of a man with his gloves on the wrong hands, you see a series of identical-looking doors. The fourth door to the left of the statue looks no different from the rest. However, those that try it will find that they cannot open the door. A simple Alohomora will not make the door budge, so carry on with the rest of your day ... unless you happen to know the password, of course.
Only prefects and Quidditch captains know the password (Squeaky Clean) to get this door to creak open and reveal a shiny marble-floored bathroom. Toilet stalls and a shelf containing towels and swimwear take up one side of the room whereas the other contains a set of couches, a coffee table, and a wizarding wireless. Many, however, often find themselves heading straight for the enormous, swimming pool-like tub in the centre of the room. The large tub fills up remarkably fast due to the many taps surrounding it. If you plan on staying here for a while, you might as well add some bubbles.
Don't mind the portrait of the mermaid -- she just likes showing off and flirting with the boys.

Um.
What had he done now?
Max had done the whole agreement thing just like the others had so he wasn't really sure why he was being singled out. Had he done something to offend Headmaster Trent?????? Because this whole Polyjuice thing had been a shocker for him too!
He really didn't want to lose his prefect bathroom privileges though.....
"I intend to carry out my role as prefect seriously, Sir." Is that want the bloke wanted to hear? "I'll address issues and all that other stuff you said." There had been a lot of information, okay? And Chloe's elbow scratching was still mighty distracting.

"Well, since Professor Noble is the Potions teacher and Hufflepuff Head of House, I think it is prudent that I work with him to try and recover lost ingredients as well as performing the duties you've outlined, Headmaster."
Daisy said this rather distractingly. She meant every word but the excessive scratching done by the Head Girl had started to waiver her attention, much to her annoyance.

The way the headmaster had cracked a tiny little smile at Chloe's comment, that was slightly reassuring. Even though the smile hadn't been directed at him or at anything he'd said, Abra was relieved, because it was yet another clear sign that they weren't dealing with someone quite like Scrimgeour.
Speaking of Chloe, had someone pranked her with itching powder or something? Abra watched her out of the corner of his eye for a moment, before his gaze snapped back to Trent as he spoke.
Abra nodded quickly at 'this goes for all of you', wanting to show he'd been listening and would do all that was expected and everything. He knew it wouldn't make him popular, but he'd do it. He'd sort of already known that prefects weren't necessarily popular for this very reason.
"Understood, sir," he replied. It couldn't be so bad to have to escort the culprits around even if it was for an entire month. Abra usually hung around the common room waiting for friends to appear anyway, so that he didn't necessarily have to move about the castle on his own (it still gave him the jitters sometimes) so this would actually give him more of an excuse to move around as part of a pack, even if he was the one escorting it. "I'll help make sure it's all, you know, enforced." He nodded again.
Why, though, was it always Gryffindors?

It was good they were all getting onto the same page. Even Tree Boy was catching on. With each confirmation, the man nodded. He did note the continued silence on a certain Ravenclaw’s part but for now he went on addressing the group.
“If we’re all in agreement then everyone who’s confirmed is free to go. Remember everything I’ve said. Take it seriously. Being student leaders, you’re held to a higher standard.”
He wouldn’t send them off with threats of getting worse than the next guy, or strong words of reprimand. It was clear they got the point and that was all he was here for.
Malachi gestured toward the door, no need to keep them here any longer but he would stick around for words with Mr. Silent Ravenclaw Prefect. This was the one discussion no one would be allowed to keep silent on. He needed their full, conscious agreement because he would infact be holding them accountable and he didn’t need anyone trying to skirt by with “technically I never agreed to that”.

How do you tell the Headmaster that you… had not… noticed? He had no excuse except for the heat perhaps getting to him, but that wasn’t an excuse here. He couldn’t explain what triggered him, but Jackson was quiet. He quite appreciated the Headmaster’s words, and how different this was than talking to the previous Headmaster. Nevertheless, words were failing him for one of the first times. Everyone else had already confirmed, and were excused.
…Oops. He hadn’t meant to wait that long, but he felt awkward now. Jackson turned to the Headmaster and finally spoke up. “Sir, I apologize for not taking action in class. It was unacceptable, and I don’t have an excuse for my lack of observation.” He didn’t think ‘it was too hot’ was a decent reason. Jackson had no intention of giving up his badge, and had aspirations of being Head Boy next year. This was NOT how that was going to happen. “I, of course, agree to carry out my role as Prefect and adhere to all guidelines.” It was taking all of Jackson’s effort to keep his eyes on the Headmaster and not on the floor, as was normally his habit when he was in trouble.

Okay. Phew. So that was it then. That wasn't so bad after all; Abra could understand the reasoning behind everything that had been said, and he was honestly relieved to find that the headmaster - though understandably expecting better from them in the future - was happy to leave it at that for now. Since last term... well, Abra never really knew what to expect from new staff members anymore.
"Yes sir," he said with a nod. "I'm, you know, really sorry." Just making that clear and all.
Well. There was no real reason to stick around now, so, with a glance around at everyone else and an awkward (why was it awkward? Abra didn't know, but it was) wave to Derf, he made a swift exit from the Prefects' Bathroom.

Aaaand that was officially the last of them. It was likely the boy had zoned out--not something he was impressed with but at least he caught on by the end. That got a nod out of the Headmaster. He would do all that was expected. Good. Malachi had meant everything he said about holding them accountable. Now that they'd each verbally made the commitment, it was time to move forward.
This wasn't by any means the point at which he started waiting for them to fail. No. This was the part where he started looking ahead and placed his trust in their hands that they would get things done while at the same time being prepared to take action if they didn't.
Botros got a nod too, confirming all was forgiven here and they were moving forward.
With the conversation officially behind them, Malachi straightened and made for the exit. He was done here and Tree Boy seemed to have plans by the looks of it.
The man would go back to searching for his box.

Yep, Tree Boy Maxton Carden very much did have plans.
He was glad to get all of that stuff done and out of the way and even gladder to see the back of the Headmaster because right now....? There was a bubble bath calling his name.
But first, he needed everyone else to get out of here too.
Fluffy towel still slung over one shoulder, he made his way to maHOOOOsive tub and made a whole big display and hoo-hah of turning on aaaaall the taps one by one.
....... why were they still here?

All in all... that could have been much worse. Although he would have to work to get a more positive perception of himself to the Headmaster, Jackson was just happy the discussion had been enough for everyone. He let out a breath he had been holding and, head lowered, left the bathroom.

Poof!
The little floof was suddenly inside of this huge room with this really weird big pit in the ground that had things sticking out (water taps) from the side. He wondered what it was, but was distracted by the shininess of the things sticking out of the ground.
They looked absolutely delicious! His little tummy gave a good rumble, and without a second thought the little fuzz ball was chomping on a tap. But one just wasn't enough!
He had eaten two or three more when he got that little wobbly feeling, and soon enough there was another little hungry mutant standing next to him. He made that happy little sound, nuzzling his new friend, and they both munch on some more of the taps, not noticing that water was spewing out of the eaten metal pipes.
Soon enough there were four little mutants in the bathroom! But they were bored with these metal things sticking out of the ground.
With a silent poof, they were all gone, and water was quickly filling the room.

Daisy entered the Prefect's Bathroom after uttering the password, ready to have a nice, relaxing bath when she saw the utter chaos that befell her. The bathroom was rapidly filling up with water and the taps and part of the pipes had disappeared. What in Merlin was happening? She doubted that Moaning Myrtle would cause this much carnage.
The Headmaster needed to be informed as soon as possible and so Daisy walked quickly to the Headmaster's office.

You know what was the best thing about being Quidditch Captain? It was badge enough to get her access to the prefects bathroom. Bel went right there after practice with the intention to soak.
"Squeaky Clean!" She said, and the door swung open....... and water began flooding out. Bel stepped back. "What in the..." She walked inside, peering around warily but only seeing the damage to the pipes. Uh.
Could she stop the flooding somehow? Ice or something? Where was her wand? She began patting herself down. Yeah nope. Nope no luck. What else. What else. Oh!
"Myrtle!" Bel tried to holler down the broken pipes. Maybe the ghost would hear her and help block up the pipes? At least then the whole corridor wouldn't flood.

Jackson had gone out for a run and it was time to hit the showers!! He was making his way through the corridor when he stopped in his tracks. There was water escaping from the bathroom and it didn't seem to be just a small amount... Jackson pulled his wand from his robes and approached the Prefect's bathroom with caution. He could hear commotion coming from inside and as he peered in, his shoes done for, he saw Bel. "What happened??" he asked her, unsure if maybe she was what had happened?
"Impedimenta! ... Glacius!" he tried, hoping to stop the water from continuing while they figured out a more permanent solution. Where was this all coming from? The sinks looked to be absolutely destroyed... What in Merlin's name!

"I dunno! It was like this when I got here! And I don't have my wand." And even if she did... well she wasn't nearly so good with it as Jackson was. She was hoping that would help. If Moaning Myrtle wasn't willing to come up through the broken pipes and help, maybe some house elves would come? But how did one summon a house elf anyway?
Bel DID start throwing towels down to try and block the furniture off at least to save it from water damage. They'd only hold the water back from the couches and the wireless for so long though. Totally a temporary solution.

Not even inside the bathroom and he could tell the situation was getting out of hand. Malachi cast a quick impervius on his shoes and pants before continuing into the room where Thomas was yelling spells and Macindoe was .... blotting with towels.
Okay. Okay. It was something. It was thinking and he would go ahead and assume she didn't have her wand for the simple reason that if she did, he imagined she would be casting out hell too.
Rather than ask what was going on--clear as day really--the man walked over to the pipes. Chewed. Chewed?? "Hm." Pulling his own wand, he created new toppers for the pipes so the water would stop spouting out like it was. He'd have to have the pipes changed. Merlin's beard, add that to the growing list of expenses he was drafting up for the Board of Governors. "These are getting out of hand. First the hourglasses, then the fruit portrait and now this."
He looked to the pair, not as rushed now that the volume of water would not keep increasing.
"Are either of you going to tell me about puffskeins, too?" What did happen?

Jackson's eyebrows went up. She didn't even have her wand around? Oy. How? Jackson couldn't really think about going anywhere at Hogwarts without his wand, but that wasn't as important as the fact that his shoes were SOAKED. He kept trying spells to help block the water from leaving it's current destruction zone. Finally the water seemed to be getting a little easier to manage, and Jackson looked over and saw Bel trying to help too. Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes! Jackson pointed his wand at the towels that she was using, drying the ones that were clearly soaked through. Baby steps.
Then... a sigh of relief. The Headmaster had arrived. Had he just been passing by? Had Bel managed to tell him already? That didn't matter right now either. What mattered was that the Headmaster had conjured new stoppers for the sinks and the water had stopped...
Why hadn't he thought of that? Jackson shook his head as Professor Trent named off some of the things that had been happening this year. And then the Headmaster mentioned puffskeins... Could a puffskein really do all of the damage that had been done this year? And then Jackson remembered... "I did notice what looked like one at the opening feast, and then I saw what I think was the same one not long ago. It was in a corridor downstairs somewhere... Do we know who it belongs to? D'you think Peeves knows what's going on?" Jackson assumed the ghosts would have been asked already, but he wondered if Peeves had any information he had decided not to share or something. Because let's face it... Have you met Peeves?

"Thanks, Jackson." Bel said when the prefect dried the towels off. Well she couldn't do it after all. And then the headmaster arrived and topped the pipes off. Bel relaxed a little and turned her attention toward the man.
What was this about the hourglasses? And puffskeins?
"I dunno about... puffskeins Headmaster, I just was walking past and there was water and.... well you see as much as I know." But with Jackson mentioning the feast at the start of the term her memory was jogged... "It wasn't a puffskein at the feast. I don't know what it was. It wasn't any creature I've ever seen." She wasn't sure what Peeves had to do with it either but apparently she'd missed quite a lot lately?
