Keith Carter - @Lunch
@Gummi Bunnies​

Keith was freed from the abyss that was the recesses of his mind after Julius had suddenly spoken to him. He looked up abruptly, giving off the impression that he was startled. His expression went from looking fearful to looking relieved as he recognized that the one who had caught his attention was a fellow student, albeit one from a different house. He contemplated for a moment, trying to decide if he should tell Julius about his unusual anxiety.

"I--um, I'm fine... physically, that is. It's just that--well you probably won't believe me--" he stammered, glancing down at his schoolbag again. He sighed heavily and suddenly his nervousness was replaced with seriousness. He looked around and then spoke in a quiet, yet audible voice. "Do you remember Umbridge's announcement? That thing about 'highly volatile and highly important' books being stolen from the restricted section of the library? Well, I wasn't one of the people who stole a restricted book, but I did encounter a seemingly ordinary book that teaches curses on some pages..."

A worried expression appeared on his face. "Concerned, I... tried to show the librarian a page that taught Fiendfyre, but then the page in question disappeared, so she didn't believe me. It's almost like... the book's sentient, or something. A book like that is dangerous, so..." He put both of his elbows on the table and placed his hands on the sides of his head. "Like a total fucking idiot, I borrowed the damn thing, thinking that if the faculty couldn't take care of the problem, I could, but now it seems that the faculty was already aware of the book's existence, which means that they could be the ones responsible for the book being there in the first place, and because they keep records of who borrows what--"

How strange.​
Click to expand...
That wasn't something you'd hear everyday. This sounded pretty dire too. Given how things went along since the start of the year, the staff faculty has been off-putting, even to Julius's tolerance. So it was a no-brainer that Keith was anxious on when they'll trace records to him holding onto that particular book.

❝ That's heavily concerning... almost like a setup... ❞ There's no telling on what else that book could be capable of, and Keith's giving it away that just having the book in his possession was a big deal. What could he even do in this situation?

❝ So you're fearing that they'll catch on, is what you're saying? ❞ Julius lowered his voice to a barely audible whisper, keeping an eye for any eavesdroppers. ❝ If you don't mind me suggesting, have you considered passing the book to someone else? Or getting rid of it? The records they have can't change, but I doubt that it'll end well if it goes back to them and continue to leave it in the library for other students to pick up. ❞ A prying thought to take the book for himself was awfully tempting, but he was aware that messing with curses wasn't a laughing matter.

Professor Fantasma was quiet for a long while before responding after a awkwardly long silence. "I-I have irritable bowl s-syndrome t-that releases w-w-when I'm stressed. I went in here because...because I figured I-I could be alone." Well, that was one mystery solved.



McGonagall listened as best she could at Rio's ramblings and as he came close to finishing her face was as pale as a ghost as she got from her chair and closed the door behind them mumbling something about how it's happening all over again. "Did I not tell you, Mr Myre to keep your head low and try not to attract any attention!" The color had returned to her cheeks but now her entire face was crimson red. "What possessed you to do something so foolhardy! Dragging others with you I bet! This is very serious, very serious indeed! Did someone see you come in here?"

@Yun Lee @Josh



"And to no doubt study hard I bet." Professor Swagglebone replied with what seemed to be a chipper tone. "Knowledge is power after all."

"That, along with ambition and cunning, sir. They are what separates us from the esoteric ninnies of Ravenclaw, sir," Mary calmly called back without turning her head, making her way to a restroom without another word to the professor. Even if she couldn't recover the books afterwards from them being discovered, she could at least hope that by hiding them somewhere in one of the restrooms, anyone who did discover them would be unable to track them down. Honestly, why they don't use a summoning charm... oh well, perhaps they were short-sighted and added anti-theft charms to the tomes that prevent them from being summoned? Wouldn't surprise me if Umbridge didn't think it through and none of the professors had the heart to explain it to her.​

"I have thought about that, but giving it to someone will only make things worse," he responded, returning to a normal posture and keeping his voice low, "I don't want to get anyone else involved; it's my mistake, so I should deal with it alone. And if I try to get rid of it, I might garner suspicion and get into real trouble for not returning a borrowed book..."

He recalled McGonagall's warning.



Keith got a sudden spark of confidence as he devised a plan. "Maybe I should act natural and pretend that I don't know about the book's abnormalities..." He paused for a moment. "Do you think that'll work?"​

Kit could understand wanting to be treated how he'd like, at least to a degree. He knew that not everyone could get along, as sad as that sounded.

"I honestly wish there was something I could do to help find her, most of the people in my class kept talking about it--actually, I had heard a few rumors at the table, but...I dunno." he sighed. He was pretty sure Rio had mentioned something about going to see if they were true while Kit went to talk to Sam.

"Well, they hurt, b-but using a counter jinx would probably be for the--wait, you've used it in yourself before?" Kit cut himself off to give Sam a confused gaze. What? Why would he do that?? He didn't quite understand, and Sam's embarrassment about it kind of made him slightly more confused.

"You've heard rumors, huh?" Sam mumbled, narrowing his eyes thoughtfully. "I-I'll probably look into them myself at some point. Although, I'm not really sure how helpful I would be." If anything, it was possible that Sam could get in the way of anyone else who was trying to figure out this mystery. Still, that didn't mean he was going to ignore this situation. For some reason, he found himself drawn to it. Had he not been so worried about Isolde, he might've already been looking into it in his own way.

The blond teen's face was still red as a tomato, the bright shade of crimson lingering longer on his face when Kit would seem to question why he had used spells on himself before. "W-Well, I like to practice all kinds of spells and I don't really like going to others for help so... sometimes I test them out on myself. I-I know it's silly but, um, ngh." Samael wiggled where he sat, suddenly moving off his chair so he could bend down and pick up his wand that he had dropped earlier.

God, he had embarrassed himself so much in front of Kit today. Sam really was lucky that this kid was kind enough to hold an interest in being his friend. If this guy wanted to be an enemy instead, he could've made Sam look pretty bad by spreading rumors about him based on what he had learned.

"A-Anyhow, I do owe you, so... the counter jinx! I can use it! It's the least I can do!"

Sam sat on his knees in front of Kit, his hand trembling as he reached out toward the other boy. "M-May I have a look?"

As awkward as Sam was, he went ahead without Kit's permission and lifted up a corner of his shirt to have a look at the welts on his body. He even winced at the sight. Those had to hurt...

He dropped his hand from Kit and with a smooth wave of his wand, Sam casted the counter-jinx. "Th-There, how does it feel now?" he asked, hoping his spell had done the trick.

“Weak..”
That was all Melody could really say, though she was somewhat certain no one heard it. That solved her questions, just a geezer with gastro issues, but then she remember what she was here for. Melody turned her back and looked at the taps, and the mirror as well, since she’s always heard about the myths about mirrors that she cast aside for her own sanity.
“I’ve heard stories about the chamber of secrets, you know? That Harry Potter slayed the basilisk with Gryffindor’s sword, I’m surprised no one tried to enter the chamber. They could have simply given Veritaserum to him..”

Chapter 2 – The Rot

It had been almost two months since the news of the stolen books and the disappearance of Sandra. As far as the student body and those in the know could only assume, most of the faculty, Sandra had just mysteriously vanished into the Forbidden Forest, no doubt snatched by some creature too frightening to even think about.

The stolen books as well remained missing. Some among the students started to think that they were not found due to incompetence, but perhaps there was something more going on there? Anyway, school life went on as usual with no signs of trouble for the rest of the Fall.

October 31, 2002

Hallowe’en sneaked up on everyone due to the hectic early days of school. This evening was suitably scary with thunder crashing and heavy rain falling from the sky. What better way to savor the yearly Hogwarts Hallowe’en feast? While it usually was a highly anticipated feast, the rumors this year was that it was going to be less than spectacular. The promise of food was there but it was quite clear that there was not going to be any special shows this year. Cost cuts again, though it was perhaps a form of punishment for Umbridge not having found the book thieves yet nor finding out what had happened to Sandra. Though those that had anything to do with the Headmistress could tell that there was something going on. She was starting to look a tad...nervous. There was also rumors circulating that there was going to be no Hogsmeade visits at any point during the current school year. Another punishment no doubt. Seemed like the students could only survive with what the school provided them.

Even so, perhaps some form of merriment could still be had among the student body. Who knows what mischief one could be up to in this dark and stormy evening. Food was starting to be served in the grand hall but otherwise the students were free to travel the halls until that time.

Weeks without any discovery, not even a proper search of their dorms for the books. It was strange that Umbridge was holding back as much as she was, as Mary was certain that, given her attitude towards most issues at the school, the headmistress would have been all for all-out seizures. Not that Mary herself was complaining though; no heat on her specifically, despite Swagglebone having possibly set her up? An early Christmas miracle it seemed, and given that everyone was leaving to go to the Halloween feast, she wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

"Now, lets see what you have to tell me and my friends, little books..." The blue-haired hellion hummed low to herself as she slipped into an unused classroom, closing the door behind her and pulling the two tomes out of the satchel she carried them. Samael and Isolde had been told about this room in the past week and to come if they wished to learn from the tomes she had gathered, but for now, Mary slipped into a corner and kept an eye on the door as she began to flip through the pages of the more sinister tome in quiet interest.​
 

Ah, Halloween was here! Rio couldn't be more excited. After the nightmare that was last month, what with Sandra's death and everything, he was looking forward to a bit of merriment. This year was off to an awful start, and despite being trapped in this school for a good while, trying to distract himself with Quidditch and friends and N.E.W.T. studies just couldn't help like his favorite holiday.

Rio already had the perfect costume, too: Jim Hawkins, from that new Muggle movie Treasure Planet. It hadn't come out yet, but the trailer he'd seen over the summer was amazing. Rio had the feeling this movie would be a hit, and the fact that Jim seemed to love flying made it imperative that Rio dress as him before anyone else.

Though he couldn't do the same hairstyle Jim did, Rio at least kept his hair brown to stay true as possible. Making his way to his friends at Hufflepuff, Rio waved. "Happy Halloween!"

Kit felt embarrassment start clawing at him again when Sam lifted his clothes enough to see the welts, a bit of a grunt escaping his lips. He was more than glad when Sam did the counter jinx, the tension in his shoulders lessening just slightly.

"It feels much better." Kit sighed, relieved. It took a lot of work to hold off on crying, that was for sure. It was mostly for Sam's sake, but also to keep himself from looking like a little kid in front of, well, anyone who had been watching of course.

In the following month or so that had passed, Kit had struggled a bit in his studies, but didn't complain about it. That day he didn't even feel much like eating, simply because the storm brewing outside made it all the more gloomy....and a bit scary.

"Oh, Rio!" he perked up seeing his brother, smiling as his cheery disposition made Kit feel a bit better. After the debacle in the Great Hall between Sam and him the day Sandra went missing, he had to avoid his brother like the plague that day until he didn't look like he took a tumble down some stairs and cried about it.

"Nice costume." he complimented with a nod in approval.

During the months, Rolien was mostly busy learning English. Having asked her teachers for lessons specifically in this, though this had little use. Rolien had also worked for some time on her Halloween costume, but didn't wear it yet. She waited for the right time. She was currently in the cantina, being one of the first to get some food. Sitting down at one of the tables and started to eat. It wasn't the best food she had taste, but she gotten used to it. Yet she still needed help with her English and that was very obvious throughout the two months.
 
"Heh, thanks! Man, I really wish we could watch Treasure Planet when it comes out..." Rio sighed, but oh well. He had bigger things to worry about. Fortunately for his little brother, Rio had been far too preoccupied with his little field trip to really notice anything. Heck, for a few days he'd been a bit off-though he was trying to work on that. Couldn't let anyone know what he knew, or that he knew anything at all! God only knows what they would do to him if they found out, or even worse, Kit. "Any plans for Halloween? Are you dressing up, or no?"

@Takumi @Josh @Pretentious Pineapple​
 
Melody stayed in the corners of the hall, where no one was looking. She was rereading Potions Moste Potente again, which she kept quiet about. It was surprisingly for her that Umbridge let a bunch of kids just steal the books, in fact, Umbridge just seemed stressed, with no special events, and Hogsmeades! Melody desperately wanted to have some butter bear or lollies this year, but instead, just nothing but a stupid feast.

During the months, She mostly kept outta trouble, although the teachers were quite frustrated by her forgetfulness and sloth. Her grades, once again though, were unbalanced, high in practical especially potions, absolutely disappointing in stuff like history. But today was Halloween, and despite her disliking of costumes, she noticeably had a magical girl costume on, although it was black rather then her intended white which looked strange. After a bit or so of waving her wand around putting charms on herself, she closed the book and walked to the hall, where she saw quite a few people.
“Oh hey! Rio, what are you dressed as? Something movie of the year or something? Surprised you didn’t show up in a quidditch star’s robe or something...”
@Yun Lee
 
"Oh, hey Mel!" Rio smiled at the younger Gryffindor, chuckling at her comment. "Aw, c'mon, I can't be a Quidditch player twice in a row! Dangerous Dai Llewellyn was my costume last Halloween. This year, I'm Jim Hawkins from that new Muggle movie, Treasure Planet. It's like the Muggle story Treasure Island, except it takes place in outer space! Once we go on holiday, I'm gonna see it in theatres."

He looked her outfit over and nodded in approval. "Glad to see I'm not the only one who dressed up! What are you supposed to be?"

@MelodyMeister​
 
Melody was suddenly flustering and trying to sort out her costume, looking a bit nervous.
“T-that is true..Dressing up as a quidditch player again would be milking it. Heh,I’ve haven’t seen that treasure planet yet, maybe I should..Oh? Um..My costume? Well, I was meant to be Sailor Saturn from Sailor Moon, but..I accidentally dyed the uniform black instead of sailor fuku white, which doesn’t fir her already dark colours, plus my skirt is too long Ah..I just look horrible don’t I?”
Melody seemed to be very self conscious about her own clothing, since she though the others were all great. Coupled in with a dying disaster and you’ve got a nervous wreak of a Melody.
She tried to look away from Rio though, instead looking at the other students in jealousy. Why did she have to be the one to mess up her clothes? She still looked strange even after her charms.
@Yun Lee
 
"Actually, Treasure Planet isn't even out yet. I just got a bit too excited to wait until next year, y'know?" As Melody named her costume, Rio furrowed his brow, trying to think of if he knew any Sailor Saturn from Sailor Moon. All he really knew was Sailor Moon, and even then that was just because it came on right after Pokemon... "Uhh, well, it still looks good either way! Though y'know, add a beak and you could pull off a Magica de Spell!" Oh crap, he may have just doomed himself to having the Ducktales theme stuck in his head...

@MelodyMeister​
 
“What’s an Magica De Spell? Is it a character? Oh! It’s a duck! Well, Even I wouldn’t want to dress as a duck. But thanks anyways! Maybe when it’s released, I’ll try and find your theatre and we can all watch it as a group! Anyways, goodbye!”
Melody took the compliment surprisingly modestly and was in her excitable child mood, As she waved goodbye to the group she nearly runs into the canteen but notices at the last minute, spilling a bit of hot food on her dress.
“Ah, I got a bit on me..no problem, just a little wipe up will do. Now let’s see, there sure is a lot of food..”
Melody seems to be busy with food for the time being.

"We're definitely seeing it when it comes out." Kit laughed. Rio wanted to see it real bad, and Kit had to admit it looked good from what he's seen of it.

"I'm thinking about it, but I don't know who I'd dress up as." Kit replied after some thought. While Rio had his talk with Melody he thought on it, but nothing really came to mind.

The Secrets of the Darkest Art book seemed to hold many secrets inside. Explaining how one created Horcruxes perhaps the most important, and the reason why it had been removed from the library originally. A chapter about something called the Drink of Despair. Mary could tell that flipping through this book that it held between its covers a large collection of Dark Arts spells, potions and items.

While most of the information inside the page was interesting for sure, there was nothing specific that caught her attention, or why Professor Swagglebone had tipped her off about it...or perhaps it had only been a mistake on his part. He was a hard man to decipher.

"We're definitely seeing it when it comes out." Kit laughed. Rio wanted to see it real bad, and Kit had to admit it looked good from what he's seen of it.

"I'm thinking about it, but I don't know who I'd dress up as." Kit replied after some thought. While Rio had his talk with Melody he thought on it, but nothing really came to mind.

The duo heard someone shouting behind them. "Amazing dress ups!" The voice belonged to Gloriosa Maximus the Herbology teacher and Head of house Hufflepuff. "It's not often I see students dressing up in Hogwarts! But always nice when I do!"

"Thanks, Professor Maximus! You and I are on the same page. I don't get why people don't dress up much anymore, it's fun!" That, and it kind of lightened the rather dark mood this school year was bringing...for Rio, at least.
