HOGWARTS SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY discussion

((Copy and paste from the other thread))

Drew arrived with a bang. Unfortunately, he started coughing heavily as the explosive dust got too close to his nostrils.

Adrianna looked up from her book and quickly vanished it, a small blush on her cheeks and hoping Drew was distracted enough from his own explosion to ignore her. Slipping off the couch and into the shadows, she makes her way to the door to leave since being around Drew only meant possibly being exploded, only to find it lodged shut. "What the-" She mutters.

Jasmine strode into the room of requirement apparently unfazed by the sight of Drew with a bag of explosives. "Is there ever a moment where you're not blowing something up?"

"Doubtful," Darius said snidely, walking in behind her. "What are you blowing up this time?" he asked Drew, eyeing the bag with a combination of weariness and excitement.

Adrianna silently lunged for the door when she saw people enter and slaps herself internally when the door closes again. Knowing it would be locked but trying anyway, she frowns to herself and glances at the people around her.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Drew replied to Darius, smirking snidely.

For the first time Jasmine noticed the new girl and she smiled brightly at her, holding out her hand. "Hi! My name is Jasmine, I'm Head of House for Ravenclaw. You are?"

Darius hardly gave the new girl a second glance, his eyes narrowing at Drew's tone. "No, I asked for my health," he retorted, resisting the urge to roll his eyes.

Adrianna glances at her hand and takes it, nodding at her, "Adrianna Black. Fifth year Slytherin. I'm, er, not really new." She transforms her features back to the wild black curls and startling grey eyes her family is known for. "It's fine, I'm not a very... imposing character like some other people here." She gives a pointed glance at Darius and Drew, lips twitching into a small grin.

"No, but you're new to me," Jasmine responded, waving her hand dismissively as she spoke. She didn't expect herself to remember all students of Hogwarts, especially those who weren't in her own house, but she did try her best. Her gaze flickered to Drew and Darius and she shook her head. "Some people are well-known for their disruptive tendencies."

"Well, I mean, if it's in the name of your health," Drew told the other boy, shrugging, "then I guess I'll just leave you to die or something dude." His eyes glinted as he turned to fully face Darius, "I can make it quick."

Katie walked in and immediately saw the look in Drew's eye. She turned on her heel and walked back out.

Adrianna nods, running a hand through her hair and transforming it into tamer curls. "Yeah, I understand, since I'm not in Ravenclaw, uh, Miss Jasmine?" She tilts her head a bit, having never really spoken to her and thus not knowing how to address her. "And just a bit yeah," she gives a small, somewhat exasperated, laugh, "In first year he exploded the entrance of the girl's dorms when he discovered the slippery slide first hand."

Katie wrote: "Katie walked in and immediately saw the look in Drew's eye. She turned on her heel and walked back out."

((you can't leave haha, that's the whole thing about how they're trapped. guess you're stuck with us now mwahahaha))

Katie tried to walk back out, but the doorknob wouldn't turn. "Okay, weird." She turned back to the others. "Never mind, I guess."

((Does anyone else see words disappearing on mobile))

((yeah i noticed that when i looked back at my character profile))

((It happens all the time on mobile it's so annoying))

((weird))

"You can just call me Jasmine," she said, flashing the girl a smile. At the tale of one of Drew's explosive exploits she shook her head but her expression was one of amusement. "Sounds like Drew."

"But would you?" Darius asked dryly, raising an eyebrow. "Somehow I don't see you being so kind." He noticed it as Katie tried to leave and was unsuccessful and let out a groan. "Katie, don't tell me I'm stuck in this room with him." He pointed at Drew.

(( yea dude it's weird))

"Nope, we're stuck in this room with him."

Drew grinned widely, "That's right, kiddos!" He sprayed little explosive sparklers around him, "Time for fun!"

Adrianna glances away from Jasmine when his explosive sparklers catch her eye. Speaking up for once, she raises an eyebrow curiously, "You do realize we're in the Room of Requirement, right? Which means that if one of us asks for anything, the room will provide? Which further means that we can ask for your explosives to be muffled or something?"

For the first time Darius looked over at the girl, peering at her curiously. "But why would anyone do that?" Despite his obvious annoyance with Drew, he seemed genuinely confused by her proposition.

Adrianna gives a slight shrug, somewhat wishing she hadn't spoken up because she wasn't exactly friends with anyone here. "Well, just a thought," she glances at Drew, "Honestly I was just hoping it would keep him from going too far and blow up this entire room by mistake. Since we are trapped inside."

"Yeah, why do that," Katie echoed, "when you can just wish up indestructible ropes to tie him up with?"

A coiled rope suddenly appeared in the hand she had been gesturing with. Her face lit up.

"Yo, don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure the room only gives you material items, so like you can't just wish away the noise of mine," Drew told the new girl, before turning back to Darius, "Thanks for the support, mate."

Adrianna sees Katie's facial expression and steps out of her way with a hidden smile. She then glances back at Drew and shrugs, "I didn't mean wish away the noise. I mean something like an enclosure that will trap your explosions so it's contained."

((I meant muzzled, not muffled sorry. Muzzled as in restrained))

(( ohh gotcha ))

Drew glanced at the rope in Katie's hands. "Kinky."

Darius had grown excited at the prospect of Drew being forced to stay in one place, but at his teasing remark he took a step back from both him and Katie, resigning himself not to go near the rope. "Don't get used to it," he said simply in response to Drew's thanks.

Adrianna sighs and goes back to the couch, plopping onto it and summoning her book back. When it doesn't appear in her hands, she frowns, trying again. "Wha-" Her eyebrows furrow, wondering why the room wouldn't give her the book. Instead, a note appeared, along with other couches and chairs.

((btw, ye katie, chrstina, and I are gryffindors... also, at some point drew became president of interhouse relations but like idek what he's doing w that))

(( haha plot twist: drew set this up but forgot about it and now he's trapped in it with us ))

Drew noticed Darius's stepping away, and grinned. "Hey Darius," he goaded, "Wanna play with Katie's new rope?"

"I'd rather not," Darius replied, walking over to one of the couches that had magically appeared. "Although I must admit, the idea of strangling you with it is appealing."

"Breath play kink?" Adrianna giggles to herself from her couch, not able to stop herself. "Didn't you had it in you, Darius." Flicking the note onto a table that just appeared, she glances up at everyone with a look of disbelief on her face, "Well, it looks like we're stuck here and supposed to play truth or dare."

Drew wiggled his eyebrows up and down, "Hmm, is it?"

Darius glared at Adrianna, doing his best not to look back at Drew. "You're both insufferable," he declared. Though his gaze shifted so that he wasn't looking at either of them he was still flowering.

"Truth or dare?" Jasmine asked with a raise of an eyebrow, trying to ignore everything else that was going on. She sat on a chair that rested between Darius' and Adrianna's couches. "That could be interesting."

Adrianna glances up at him with false innocence, clutching her chest with mock hurt, "Me? Insufferable? Why, you never spoke to me until ten minutes ago. How could you judge me so quickly? I'll have you know, I have a sparkling personality."

She pauses, shaking her head and wonders what has gotten into her because usually she barely talks. Shrugging it off for now, she looks at Jasmine and nods. "Yeah, truth or dare," she shakes her head, "I need divine intervention for what's about to happen."

((Flowering. I just noticed it says he was flowering instead of glowering. And I can't even edit lmao))

(( i kinda just accepted it haha ))

"Count me out," Katie said, dropping the rope to the ground and settling into a chair. "I'll watch."

Drew wandered away from the little group, and found a small room suddenly pop up. He stuck his head inside and grinned, "Yo Katie, check this out."

Katie stayed in her chair. "Nuh-uh, I'm not falling for that. You can describe what's inside but I'm not going near there."

Drew shrugged, "Katie, you're sufficiently my friend, right? Come over heeere." He held the door to the little room open so she could see inside.

Katie peeked over the edge of the chair. "Yeah, you're alright...what is it?"

"Brooms!" He grinned, "Also, a wooden board? With weirdly cut moving wooden pieces?"

"...chess?"

"Sure, yeah. Chess."

(( tfw your mobile didn't allow u into this topic until now hhhhhh ))

The corners of the room were all shadowed in darkness, as any would be.

Well, all corners except one. Darkness seemed to morph into a figure, and anyone watching would have found Christina emerging from the shadows with a dark brow curved into a questioning expression.

"Did someone say that the door was locked...?"

Drew shrugged, "Never checked. But look!" He shoved a handful of moving chess pieces in Christina's face, "I discovered an ancient battle game!"

"Chess," Katie explained, flopping back into her chair to face Christina. "It's just chess."

Drew nodded wisely, "Right, it's called cheese."

Katie pinched the bridge of her nose. "Sure, why not?"

Drew poked Katie, "D'you wanna play hess?"
