| | Underground Chambers Opening a well-hidden door in the dungeons allows you access to the many underground chambers beneath the castle. While this discovery may be exciting, it is important to move forward with caution -- hopefully you've come along with some friends, just in case something should go terribly wrong. No, you've thankfully not stumbled upon the Chamber of Secrets. But only Merlin knows what you'll find here.
You start off in a chamber containing a dusty table where seven bottles once rested. Whether you find that interesting or not, it is the two doors present in the room that play at your curiosity. Going through one door will take you into an antechamber that leads to a much bigger room. Here a large mirror can be found, which will reveal something interesting about yourself if you stand in front of it properly. The other door, however, stems off into a series of chambers. First you find yourself in a spacious room, though there isn't much to be seen besides a thick layer of dust (with a dash of decayed troll bone) on the floor. Carrying onward, a giant chess board is revealed (to play a life-sized game, one need only cast Reparo on the mutilated pieces) and then a room filled with an array of winged keys. Lastly is a chamber that is relatively harmless ... as long as the blue flames remain lit.
Perhaps you've learned about this place once in history class? It all seems oddly familiar. Hmm.

| Come join us While getting stuck was not part of the plan, Sunny knew he was signing up for chaos when he traversed the globe to find the Rheticus Vortex. In any case, Hogwarts was lucky to have him here. He made sure to pack all of the essentials: namely, the book he had in his hands! This book would be the key to their safe return. Sunny planned to emerge out of the vortex a coveted reporter and a hero. This is why he was out and about today.
And it was close. He could sense it. With one hefty push, Sunny managed to open the hidden door to reveal the first chamber. At this point, he paused to confirm with his book before moving to inspect one of the two doors. Which one could it be?

Hogwarts RPG Name: TBD Gryffindor Hogwarts RPG Name: Zara H. Bunbury-Foster Slytherin Fifth Year | Professor Pink | Mrs. Bruce Wayne | I'm on a Goat | Glitterpuff | Dumbledore's Defense Squad | BHB Bernie had been INTENDING to find one of her Slytherin friends down here in the dungeons, but before she realized it, she was following a full-grown dude instead. She was definitely coming down with a case of déjà vu or something. Hadn't she seen this man before????? Somewhere??? And where had she seen him before??? She felt like she HAD to follow him. What if he was another portrait brought back to life?!?! Don't worry, she wouldn't be blowing anything up THIS time, on account of her wand not working and also because she'd learned her lesson last year and all that jazz.
"Hell-OOOOO," the Gryffindor called out to the man loudly as she trailed behind him through a door. "Hellllllllllooooooo, mister, are you LOST?" Because she'd help him if she could. Er. If he was ALLOWED to be here. And if she was ALLOWED to be here too. And if not, she'd help them both, as best as she could, because who really cared about rules aNyWay.

| *sappysapper* MAJNOO, YO! had been hoping to spend some time with Eli - no, .....EIJI. But the lower she got, the more she forgot where the Slytherin Common Room was - which is why she was now here.
Looking at Bernadette and the reporter guy she kept seeing everywhere. "he doesn't look all that lost," Missa replied to Bernadette's question instead. "Are you allowed to lurk wherever you want to, sir?" Yes, they were all trapped together but had the headmaster allowed him to be anywhere he wanted? Missa was really curious to know.

| Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite He'd been heading to the kitchen...for the last hour. Every time the Third Year thought he was close enough, Kitt ended up in another corridor he didn't think he knew with no food in sight. The latest was this place in the dungeons. It had his schoolmates and Sunny--Sunnnyyyy, hey budddyyyyyy, they were buddies, he remembered that much--but no sandwiches so to speak.
Kitt followed along easily enough, never having been the one to question things even when he did have full function of his memories. "I think Headmaster Trent said it's okay." The Gryffindor offered to the Ravenclaw Prefect. Was he really sure? He didn't know. But he felt like he was sure and that was probably as good as it got for anyone in the castle these days.
Kitt settled next to his yearmate, Bernie. "What're we looking for?"

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee Phoebe was hungry and lost, and even with an open kitchen, she couldn't find her way there. SOOOooooo, she just kept looking, and she probably would have looked forever if she hadn't spotted Bernie. Bernie = fun. And Bernie = trouble, but don't tell the Headmaster OR Bernie, because Bernie liked to believe she didn't mean trouble.
"BeeEEEErnie. I thought we had a plan called 'don't get in trouble anymore'." This was not part of that plan, obviously. But Phoebe was in for whatever they were doing. "It's the storm guy!" No mom or dad at the castle, but they got this dude. How... lucky for everyone.

| Baguette | there is no D in my name | TRAITORclaw | Queenie of Narnia Ivy couldn't remember where she'd put the class schedule she'd written down awhile ago, but she was pretty sure she had a Potions lesson right now... But when she'd made her way down to the classroom, no one was there. And then she'd checked her bag and found the schedule in the other pocket, and it confirmed that there was no lesson scheduled for that time.
Well, it was good, really, because it meant she wasn't late, but it also meant she'd run all the way down here for nothing.
Sigh.
As she was heading in the direction of the stairs, she spotted a few other students heading into...some place she'd never noticed before??? (Or had she noticed and just forgotten? Who knew?)
Ivy peeked her head in. "What's going on?" It looked really dusty in there. Did no one ever clean it? And why was there just a table in here? And two doors? And the mysterious man she'd seen around but whose name she kept forgetting?

Well, well.
The last time she'd been down this way, she'd been running with the sword of Gryffindor. It was too bad she was void of any and all magic she'd been born with. Surely she could have topped last year's spectacle with something new to get 'em talking.
As it was, though, she was behaving. It wasn't like she had a choice, seeing as the entire world had disappeared, and she was see-through. As she continued on her way wherever it was she had been going, Isla happened to catch sight of a group of people ahead of her. Some of them she knew, some of them only looked familiar. Oh, and look at that! Schmoe (aka Sunny Raine) was leading the group! "Oh, we're looking for something?" she asked, hearing Kitt's question. "What are we looking for, Professor Schmoe?" She directed that question to the one and only Sunny Raine. This seemed interesting, so whatever it was, she was in!

| doesn't proofread tweets | #wrongaboutcereal | #siriusly? | emo to the extremo Did somebody say Professor Schmoe? "We're looking for... Errr.." He trailed off as he was trying to come up with an answer for the younger Slytherin. Er....... "That's a good question... I can't seem to recall..." Schmoe scratched his head. He was down here to do ..... something. Only he had seemed to forget what that something was....
According to Bellachant, however, they were looking for something. Which made perfect sense! There was an entire search party present. They were probably looking for something! YES. He was so good at remembering. If only he could remember what it was that they were looking for. Maybe if he just stood and stared at the back of everyone's heads for a moment longer. Then he could remember.

Hogwarts RPG Name: TBD Gryffindor Hogwarts RPG Name: Zara H. Bunbury-Foster Slytherin Fifth Year | "HeAdMaStEr TrEnT sAiD iT's oKaY" uh huh, convenient for Dani to know this Professor Pink | Mrs. Bruce Wayne | I'm on a Goat | Glitterpuff | Dumbledore's Defense Squad | BHB "I DON'T GET in trouble anymore, trouble just FINDS me," Bernie declared LOUUUUUUUDLY, her voice echoing around the underground space as she turned to see....er, well, a flock of people following her and the man she was following. What was a group of people called again? Were they called a flock? Or a herd? A posse? Mob? Gang? Or a club?
She was going to go with club, because remembering things was hard right now, and clubs made her think of sandwiches, and she could probably go for a sandwich in the Great Hall right now.
"Hi Pheebs, Missa, Kitkat, Ivyleagues, Isla B.........." pause for a LOUD GASP! of appreciation, "SCHMOEEEEEEE! Professor Schmoe! OMG HIIIII!" Bernie SQUEALED like the WORLD'S BIGGEST FANGIRL at the sight of the Muggle Studies professor bringing up the rear.
WAS THIS HER BIRTHDAY or what?! It was like Defense Against the Dark Arts and Crafts class all over again!!!! All she needed was Blake Ryan to join the party and THEN they could start dancing, taking selfies, making memes, baking cakes, crocheting tiny hats for house elves, and all the other things Bernie enjoyed doing on a regular basis with her favorite people minus any rule-breaking, because she was NOT getting in trouble this year.
"Hey, that reminds me...." Bernie squinted around at her the weatherman's fanclub. Phoebe calling him 'the storm guy' really made things click for her. THAT'S how she knew him. AND, on the topic of parties... "Did anyone happen to bring their flat Newt Scamander with them? I forgot mine somewhere in the castle already but I feel like THIS," she gestured to the chamber they were in with a big, distracting grin, "Would be a real cool place for a photo op. OH, and YOU," she pointed to the weatherman she'd been following, "YOU can be our celebrity photobomber!!! A CELEBRITY APPEARANCE!"
She was gonna get SO MANY POINTS for this!!! She thought about putting Schmoe in the picture too, but he actually TOOK good photos. and no offense, he wasn't that photogenic, the poor noodle man.

"That's a good question... I can't seem to recall..." Schmoe scratched his head. He was down here to do ..... something. Only he had seemed to forget what that something was.... Yup, it was her. She was the one who'd said SCHMOE. That man right up there! She started to look toward the front of the crowd again (where Sunny Raine was), but then... "How did you get all the way back here?" she asked, turning toward the correct Schmoe. She'd oddly put a correct face with a correct name this time. "Professor Schmoe! We were all following YOU. So, tell us...what are we looking for?" she asked the man.
She nodded at Bernie's first statement, because...who couldn't hear Bernie in the half-emptiness of the chambers? "Oh, you're much more fun to be around when you're getting into trouble anyway," she pointed out, her mind escaping the fact that there were adults around. Of course, innocent, well-mannered Bernadette was fun to be around, too, just not as fun.
Then Bernie literally began fangirling Schmoe, and for the life of her, Isla couldn't remember why. Was Schmoe some famous person? A Wrock singer? A Quidditch player? Just in case she was supposed to be in-the-know and not as forgetful as she seemed to be right now, Isla perked up, as well. "OMG, EVERYBODY! Schmoe!!! We've got SCHMOE!" she called out.
Anyway, AnYwAy, ANYWAYYYY.
Wait a minute. They were here to do their long term History of Magic project?! Isla thought this was some big adventure through the dark chambers of the castle, and all along it was...a photo op?! BORINGGGG. She fished around in her pocket and pulled out...a quill, an uneaten piece of Droobles gum, a ponytail holder, a ripped-up piece of parchment, and... "HERE HE IS!" she finally said. Ole flat Newt!

| Just as Sunny began to wish he had a partner to help him investigate, he heard a voice! And another! And another! And so many that he began to lose count. ”Well, hiya,” he turned to beam at the newly formed crowd. An excellent crowd it was. Phenomenal! They all answered each others questions one after the other. Like that Lizarous… Lasery….? Whatshisnamekid! Lurking wasn’t officially part of the sticking-around-the-castle deal, but it very well could’ve been within the fine print. Mi castle es… somethingoranother. He had learned to beg for forgiveness anyhow. No point in this permission seeking business. Speaking of seeking: ”We’re looking for the magical hotspot! Gather round everyone, see if you can spot anything.” Sunny had no idea what it looked like. He had, inconveniently, forgotten everything about it. Unfortunately, the book only said so much. "According to this text, we are looking for a magic vacuum of sorts. And I've got a feeling we're getting real warm!" Not in a literal capacity, though it was a bit toasty down here. This probably had to do with the crowd and confined space.

| Puff by day, snake by night | Mj's bestie | Always UP to Something... She had been down in the chambers following her senses of an animal that needed her help. Thankfully she did because a poor little lost kitten had gotten down there and needed her help. Good thing Cassie had always been able to connect with the creatures. She had scooped the precious little cat up in her arms and was just headed back to the main part of the castle when a group of students and that very nice weather man showed up.
She snapped with one hand as she held the kitten, 'What are you all doing here? Did a miss a party invite?" She laughed and hadn't heard his words about finding any hot spot, but she had heard the word vacuum as she was walking. "I don't think you will find any vacuums here, you might want to try the broom closet, but with magic I'm not sure anyone purchased any of those."

| *sappysapper* MAJNOO, YO! There was one, and then another, and then another, and then there was a whole proper crowd. What even? And OFCOURSE there was Isla. For some reason, she was always there. No matter what was happening, she was always around. Missa forgot why exactly that was irritating, but she was irritated anyway.
Nonetheless, as the professors joined them too - head of house and miss-snap-your-fingers-for-every-emotion you have, Missa found herself leaning over and looking into the book this reporter person held in his hand, "what book is this exactly?" "Is this vacuum supposed to fix our magic issue?" Questions, questions, questions.

Finally, Professor Eris (aka Sunny Raine) turned around and addressed his crowd of followers. Isla took her attention off Schmoe (the real Schmoe this time) and listened to a story about some kind of magical vacuum cleaner. "I bet the house elves would know where the vacuum's kept!" she called out. Why did Eris need a text to help him locate a vacuum cleaner?
She nodded when Kitridge mentioned the broom closet. I mean, had anybody thought to look in one of the most obvious places? Whatever. She was along for the adventure anyway. Missa asked a pretty good question, too. You mean after all this time, a vacuum cleaner was the answer to all their problems? This was the weirdest school ever...
She glanced back down at her hands and suddenly remembered her Flat Newt had made an appearance. "Did you bring along a camera, Bernie?" she asked. Isla definitely didn't have one of those lurking in the depths of her pockets.

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee "Vacuums are muggle things," Phoebe sidled up to Schmoe and informed him proudly. See? She didn't even remember what she was doing in this dark hole in the school, but she remembered that she wanted the professor to know how smart she was becoming in MUGGLE THINGS. "But it won't even work here. It's Electrical."
But they could still look around for things. She was going to stick close to Bernie, because things happened to Bernie. Things happened to Phoebe, too, but she liked to believe that Bernie was the part that mattered when things went wrong. Headmaster Trent thought that too, obviously, because he'd never given her a threat talk.

Hogwarts RPG Name: TBD Gryffindor Hogwarts RPG Name: Zara H. Bunbury-Foster Slytherin Fifth Year | BERNIE IS NOT TROUBLE she did NOT ask to be part of this narrative OK Professor Pink | Mrs. Bruce Wayne | I'm on a Goat | Glitterpuff | Dumbledore's Defense Squad | BHB Why were they talking about vacuums? Shouldn't they be talking about their PAAAAAAAAAAARTY?! Bernie started digging around in her bag, which apparently was on her shoulder still, looking for some crochet hooks and yarn so they could start making tiny party hats. Kitridge (when did she get here?!) had the right idea! She looked up just to snap back at the happy professor. SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAPS.
"NICE NEWT," Bernie shouted back at Isla, gesturing for her to come OVER here so they could take an ussie with Newt and Sunny in the background. She would be ignoring that comment about getting into TROUBLE, too. "You too, Pheebs." And anyone and everyone else who wanted to be in their pic for Muggle Studies. Or was it History of Magic? Whatever, it was for an assignment.
Wait, they needed a camera for this. In the bag went Bernie's hand again. "GOT IT," she shouted a moment later, thrusting her Muggle camera and hand in the air and waving it around like she just didn't care. "Will someone PLEEEEEEASE take a picture of us with Mr. Weatherman pleeeeeeeease!"
Speaking of, could he stop with the book and hotspot nonsense. Unless. "Are you looking for a wifi signal, sir? Because Hogwarts is a dead zone." Facts. Right, Schmoe? Right? She looked to the expert on all things Muggley for confirmation.

| this post is littered with mentions... also it is all over the place lol doesn't proofread tweets | #wrongaboutcereal | #siriusly? | emo to the extremo "Errrr, hello Ms. Grantham." Finneas was slightly uncomfortable with all of this attention that Ms. Grantham was directing his way. Errr…… What was going on? "You’re following ME?" He was…. confused. He blinked at Bellchant not once, not twice, but THRICE. Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. This was very awkward indeed because as it turned out, Finneas had no idea what he was leading them to.
And to make matters worse, his presence was made KNOWN in a very loud way. Bellchant and Grantham sure knew how to make a guy feel welcome. And awkward. Emphasis on the awkward bit. He looked around incredulously, breathing a great big sigh of relief upon noticing Professor Kitridge. "Err… That may have been my mistake?" He scratched his head. Had he even sent out party invites to begin with??? Finneas wasn’t sure.
He also (conveniently) missed all of this talk about vacuums because he was trying to recall why he was leading a party??? Fortunately, Phoebe James happened to catch him up on that conversation. Sort of. "Yes! Excellent! Two points to Gryffindor, Ms. James." Was this class? Was he teaching them about Hoovers?
………….. "Errr….. Yes, no wifi signals here…?" This conversation was moving far too quickly. Why was he leading a search party? DID ANYONE KNOW?

| Why were they talking about vacuums? Yes, it did seem to be the question of the century. Come to think of it, Sunny hadn’t the faintest clue. So instead of fielding through the questions in regard to vacuums, Sunny took it upon himself to hold his book out for the prefect who was inquiring (Samia) "The Mysteriously Mysterious Rheticus Vortex. It's a classic!" And it was also a very old edition he had “forgotten” to return to his local library a few years back.
Speaking of the Rheticus Vortex (and ignoring the very minor accidental theft)! This reminded him. "According to the experts…." he paused, tracing along the text with his index finger. "If we can find the source of our magic wormhole… We can fix our magic issues, yes!" He snapped a finger to demonstrate. "Zappo! Just like that."
Which meant, they needed to get a move on. "I’d be happy to take a photo with you, kiddo. But let’s hold off on that until after we find our magic hotspot, eh?" Time was not on their side. "All hands on deck, we’re looking for something… Odd!" He had taken notes on this, but all the details were now failing him.

| Lol Trent did most certainly NOT okay this endeavour thanks Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite Kitt was paying attention...mostly. That's how he spotted Isla and his other schoolmates AND Schmoe. See, he'd seen him walk up and saw Professor Snaps AND was paying attention to Bernie being in trouble but not in trouble according to Pheobe AND talk about looking--vacuum? Wait were they really looking for a vacuum?
Kitt paused in all his analysing, looking around at everyone now gathered. For the briefest moment, the boy was excited to hear they had WiFi, but that didn't last. It was a magical hotspot they were after and besides, without electricity, there was no WiFi. Duh. He should've already known THAT. "What she said." The Gryffindor added, pointing to the Ravenclaw Prefect. He'd only JUST gotten his magic proper channeled and learning then Hogwarts took it back.
But okay, they were looking for something odd.
Er....
Wait.... "Everything in the castle is odd....." Oh oh. "But can I have my own photo with you after this is done? Biggest fan and all??"

Nice what? Isla gave Bernie a confused look. Oh, wait...the Flat Newt. The one in her hands. The one waiting to be photographed. She'd somehow forgotten about it a second time since they'd been exploring the chambers. She waved ole Newt in the air. "COMING!" she shouted, because she'd also forgotten to use her inside voice down here. She scurried on over to Bernie, who'd found a camera stashed in the depths of her bag.
As she moved around the crowd of people, she passed by Schmoe, who was asking something about them following him. "Huh? We're following him," she said, pointing to Sunny Raine. "Professor Eris, the one who needs a vacuum cleaner." She leaned over and whispered in Schmoe's ear. "And he thinks he can find one down here." WEIRDO.
Isla didn't like casual reading, and she certainly didn't want to look for wormholes, but when she heard Sunny Raine mention getting their magic back, she was all ears! She did make a slight face when he declined their picture. Whatever. It wasn't like he was some famous Quidditch player or something. He was a weatherman.
Okay...something odd. Something odd... Too bad that narrowed it down to a good two hundred things down here in the chamber.

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee Phoebe was beaming at the praise from Schmoe and had lost sight of what they were looking for. Brooms? A broom closet? A vacuum cleaner???? Right. A vacuum cleaner.
Wait, WAIT. "There are WORMS down here? EXCUSE ME, CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF GRUBS? Are there wormsssss?"

| Baguette | there is no D in my name | TRAITORclaw | Queenie of Narnia There was now a lot of people also here, and there was a lot of talking, and just when Ivy thought she was following the topic at hand, another conversation would spring up and she forgot all about the last one. They were looking for something? Vacuums? Or following a vacuum? Or-
Wait, Professor Kitridge had a kitten!!!
When did she get a kitten? Had she been holding it the whole time? What was the point of magic vacuums when there was a cute little kitten to pet!!
Her face lit up, and she moved to stand next to the Divinations Professor. "Can I pet her, Professor? What's her name?"
Wait x2, did Bernie say something about taking pictures?? "Oh, oh, me! I can!!" Ivy piped up, raising her hand as if she was in class. It wasn't class time (or was it???), but she was excited since she was missing being able to take pictures of everything SO MUCH. The magical camera her dad had given her didn't work right now thanks to all the wonky disappearing magic stuff, and it was upsetting. Very upsetting. Super upsetting. And lots of other adjectives she couldn't remember right now.
Oh, also, right, they were looking for something weird, something odd. Weather Man said a magic wormhole. Worm...hole. Worm hole. Worms??? What?

Hogwarts RPG Name: TBD Gryffindor Hogwarts RPG Name: Zara H. Bunbury-Foster Slytherin Fifth Year | Professor Pink | Mrs. Bruce Wayne | I'm on a Goat | Glitterpuff | Dumbledore's Defense Squad | BHB Bernie was as pleased as a pumpkin to receive a greeting from Professor Schmoe, and ESPECIALLY pleased that her friend Phoebe GOT SOME GRYFFINDOR POINTS DOWN HERE. "Huzzzzah," she cheered lightly, clapping for Phoebs. So this WAS a party then, a Schmoe party! KNEW IT!
Wheeeeee. They really did need some tiny party hats. And more pictures to remember this weird location for a party. "I'll take your picture, Kitt, if you take ours!" She waved the camera around like she didn't hear the weatherman's protests. "Isla, let's pose with Newt anyway." If Sunny Raine happened or didn't happen to be in the background of her photo, that was like, not her problem. OH NEVERMIND, Ivy wanted to take the picture!! "Come on, you take it then!" she giggled at the first year raising her hand and everything. "Or you can be in it WITH us." What was with people not wanting to pose for photos at an underground party?!
Bernie pursed her lips duck-face style and threw up a peace sign for a typical teenagery effect, still waiting for whomever to snap a shot. Take tha picture already!!! THEN they could look for weird stuff like cobwebs and secret doors that led to other doors and like whaaaaatever with a twist, Sunny was gonna regret not being in this pic!

| *sappysapper* MAJNOO, YO! Intereeeeesting.
How convenient was it that this reporter man HAPPEN to show up the moment the storm started brewing around them, and how convenient was it that this man happen to have a book on this particular issue they were having?? HMMM.
Nonetheless, the Ravenclaw took the book Sunny Weather-EVEN-IN-HIS-NAME Raine was showing her and gave it a turn. "Interesting," she mused, "Was this book what brought you to the doors of Hogwarts?" she asked, returning the book and looking around for this odd vacuum of his.
Only, she couldn't really properly look when somehow the more pressing concern of her peers around her was to take a PICTURE. Somewhere, Headmaster Trent senses may be tingling, and he may be feeling a need to SIGH with a shake of his head.
