[Elisabet la Barre]

Elisabet sat up suddenly and looked around her pitch black dorm. Looking outside the nearby window she saw that the stars were still twinkling and the sun was no where on the horizen, confused she thought to herself, How odd. I wonder what woke me up?.

THERE. THAT GROWLING NOISE AGAIN

She heard the  noise repeat itself, and in her half groggy state, it took a few moments to realize where exactly the growling was coming from.

Her stomach.

Lucky, I always have that hidden stash in my trunk, she thought to herself as she crawled towards the foot of the bed where her trunk was kept. Slowly opening the hidden compartment Elisabet groaned to herself as she felt the bare drawer. Great, just great. Now what am I suppose to eat? she wondered. Duh! The kitchen! Elisabet knew from experience that the house elves would be happy to prepare her whatever she wished to snack on.

After quietly gathering her cloak and wand, Elisabet silently made her way out of the doom, through the common room and down through Ravenclaw tower. Even though it was the middle of the night, some torches still lit the hallways so Elisabet had no need to use her wand for the moment.

She had almost reached the small off-to-the-side staircase leading towards the kitchen that Alex has shown her long ago, when she heard the sound of footsteps coming from the other direction. She quietly said nox to douse a few torches nearest to her and slipped behind a suit of armor when the owner of those footsteps Elisabet had heard came into view.....

[Adelaine Beaumont]

Adelaine had just been in the middle of practicing the Geminio spell in the common room (ahead of her year, of course) on an old locket she'd found, when she heard someone creeping down the stone steps. Quickly, she maneuvered herself out of the light of what was left of the fire. Elisabet, the first year she had heard Em complain so much about, tiptoed through the silent room and out the door.

"Odd.." she breathed, pushing herself up off the ground.

Stuffing the locket in her pocket, she lit her wand and slid quietly out the door. Down staircase after staircase, Adele wandered after the girl. At last, she was aware of her surroundings, making out the staircase in the dim light of the torches. They were headed to the kitchens! Splendid timing, too, as Adelaine had skipped dinner.

"Betta," she whisper-shouted, trying not to startle the girl. "Craving a midnight snack, I see?"

She smiled at the girl, trying to ignore the rumbling that came from her stomach. Such a loud noise from such a small person. Suddenly, Adele heard footsteps..rather clumsy ones, at that. Backing out of the light, she hid behind a barrel and waited.

[Meghan Morris]

Meghan's toes felt as if they were suffering from a mean case of frostbite, that's what she got for not putting on socks though. Tiptoeing out of her commons, she looked both ways as she waved goodbye to The Fat Lady. Hopefully the lady wouldn't squeal on Meghan, or this trip would have had no point. Meghan had waken up with an unbearable pain in her stomach, it was empty as a chasm. The last of her cauldron cakes had been eaten the night before, so Meghan  ventured out into the quiet halls hoping to visit the kitchens.

Gathering her cloak tighter around herself, shivering from the cold. Softly walking, she kept her eyes and ears sharp. She could not afford another detention this school year, Mum had already bitten her head off about last time. Hearing soft whisper, Meghan darted behind a tapestry and gazed upon none other than Elisabet.

Making herself known, Meghan whispered, "Hello, Elisabet. Where are you going at such a time?"

[Elisabet la Barre]

Elisabet heard two whispers from two distinct voices
"Betta,craving a midnight snack, I see?" and
"Hello, Elisabet. Where are you going at such a time?"

Obviously, I am not as sneaky as I though I was being. Betta thought to herself. Ouickly turning to find the owners of the voices she somewhat recognized, she almost jumped when she saw Meghan almost within arm reach hiding behind a tapestry.

"Goodness, Meghan you scared me, what are you doing out of bed?" she asked her friend. "Also, do you know who that other whisper belonged too? The voice sounded familiar, do you think we should go and check it out?", she whispered.

[Daniella Cruz]

Did one ever need a reason for being out after hours? Not if that one was Dani. It would be nice to have a reason or even better an accomplice, but she had yet to meet anyone who could keep up with her and was willing to cause a little chaos. Everyone was such a goody two shoes here, even the Slytherins. Times like this she wished she had a sister her own age who she could do things like this with, she loved Selena  yes, but she was younger and would never want to do something like this.

So she was off to wander herself. That was fine. She did better alone anyway. Dani was still in her green, silver, and black school robes, all the better to blend in. Her wand was held in front of her, but not lit up, she could see well enough and a spell would give her away, the last thing she wanted was to be caught. Denman had already busted her once this week, she didn't need a second crime to add to it. Of course the sensible thing then would have been to stay in her dorm, but why be sensible?

Dani crept up from the dungeons until she reached the first floor. Grinning to herself she started moving, until she heard the sound of voices, girls definitely and trying very hard to be quiet. One sounded vaguely familiar, Elisabet she thought. Her grin widened, time for some fun.

Skulking in the shadows behind a statue, she pointed her wand at one of the many tapestries lining the wall near the girls.  "Wingardium Leviosa!" she whispered. As if on its own the tapestry started to shake and float. Biting back giggles she then pointed her wand at the carpet under her feet. "Flipendo!" The spell hit the carpet and Dani watched expectantly as it flew out from under them, maybe even knocking them to the ground.

((OOC, I wasn't sure how else to enter, hope this is okay ^^. The tapestry thing I stole from the OotP game where you can do that and Flipendo is from the SS game.))

[Emmanuelle Armand]

Emmanuelle had been laying wide awake when a girl crept out of their dorm and through the common room. Silently, she pulled on her robes and picked up her wand, twirling it between her fingers as she tiptoed after Daniella. They didn't go far, however, stopping just before the kitchen. She watched from a few feet behind as her housemate pulled the carpet out from underneath Meghan Morris and Elisabet la Barre.


Emmy, being the competitive snake she was, immediately decided Daniella was an amateur who absolutely had to be taught a lesson. Quietly, she crouched down behind a cabinet and pointed her wand toward a suit of armor next to the girls and concentrated.


"Engorgio," she practically mouthed, making sure she was well out of hearing range. "Evanesco."


Grinning with delight, she stared as the object grew several inches, width and length, and then disintegrated.  She'd been practicing that one for months.
