The moment Harry entered, Jules stiffed and immediately the easy posture he had, undeniable despite the wary shifting eyes, snapped into attention and he gave the boy who lived a tight lipped smile. "No, sir. I had been mostly cataloguing those with a Snake Patronus, though that has been slow going." Most of it had been because there were many many people with a snake patronus, but it another reason was because a lot of said people were also in Slytherin. Unsurprising considering the house, but an inconvenience to Jules none the less. Though, there wasn't any bitterness in his voice when he admitted it, as if it was simply another fact. "Perhaps it may be presumptuous of me, but would you like me to cast the Patronus Finding Charm for you?" At this point, they had perfected the charm to the point where instead of having to follow a paper frog, names would be written out onto a sheet with ink that would lead one to the student in question. It had been Luna's idea, a poor take on what the Marauders Map could have been in its early stages.

"What?!"Dimitri argued, "I'm not lonely! I don't need-" He was cut off by Rey's greeting. Even if Dimitri was antisocial, he would never call himself rude. That was unnaceptable. He sighed, his back going stiff as he straightened up. "Hello..Rey, is it? Nice to uh, meet you I suppose." Wait, how did he know his name? And was Dimitri really that shut in? He would be proud...

Perhaps it was a mistake to expose that he knew Dimitri's name. After all, most of the time, he was just sitting around in a metamorphagi disguise, so to most people, he practically did not exist. But while he was practically invisible, he did listen and learn from others, learnt their names, personalities, and others. But he couldn't let Dimitri know that. Attempting to cover up his slipup, Rey continued: "Whatcha doing?" His attempt at being social was failing miserably, but he was trying hard not to hide it.

"Working," Dimitri said, shrugging. He decided he wouldn't put too much thought into why Rey knew his name, maybe someone had mentioned it and he'd picked it up. After all, it was no hidden fact what his name was with Jennifer on his heels evrey day. And if that was the reason, it meant he didn't know more about him then Dimitri would like anyone to know. "I have some extra courses I picked up and need to complete on time." He waited for the scolding, or the odd look, something he always got when he told someone about his what some would call...overworking habits that kept him up late at night and early in the morning.

Rey was relieved when Dimitri did not question how he knew his name. Moreover, he was slightly pleased that Dimitri wasn't the talkative type, as he saying a few sentences had already exhausted himself. Rey too, whilst not enjoying school homework, did understand the enjoyment of doing something he liked while sitting down for hours. He said no more, grabbed his seemingly bottomless suitcase, and pulled out a stack of spellcrafting books, and a stack of paper. Sitting down near Dimitri, he began working on his spellcrafting.

Glad to have a friend, Rey smiled to himself. But what was Luna doing with Dimitri in the Slytherin common room? Rey decided to not ask anything further, and just focus on his spell crafting.

Dimitri was suprised at this new answer, but took it in stride. He was set on getting back to his origonal goal, no matter the prophecy- sucseed to the top. And to do that, he would need no further innteruptions. So, he didn't say anything, just went back to his work.

“It’s fine Jules. You and Suvansh continue finding the other prophecy members. I’ll continue look— bloody hell is that a dragon?” Harry points outside, causing several Slytherins there to look out. Harry honestly never interested them until now.

"And I basically dodged your question in a way that answered your question without answering it." Soleil replied casually, shifting positions. "Once upon a time I might have been capable of casting a patronus, but not anymore." she wiggled her fingers with an eyeroll. "If you're asking to find out if I'm in the prophecy, you're going to be disappointed." Part of that statement was true. Soleil struggled with casting patronus charms after 'the incident' and found it extraordinarily hard to summon any form of patronus, corporeal or noncorporeal.

His smile has a grip on me <3

Faith giggles. “It may come as a surprise to you, but I have friends outside of Hogwarts. From Illvermony, Durmstrang, Beauxbatons, just to name a few. “You have a leopard patronus. And I’m pretty sure the prophecy mentioned a leopard. Doesn’t matter, if you don’t want them to know I won’t push you.”

Harry dashes over to the forest. “Miss Emily, what are you doing? Oh hello Rayne, Harper. Nice to see you, in fact this is the perfect timing. Can all of you cast a patronus for me?”

Just as Rayne was about to pet Spike Harry potter appeared, except guess what patronus time. She hesitated for a few moments as beads of sweat trickled down her forehead and then she thought of her happiest memory and "Expecto patronum," she cast her patronus a shiny silver tiger appeared infront of her. "There I guess," she said she wasn't too anxious about the topic.

Harper stood shocked infront of her was Harry Potter the Harry potter, she looked at her sister waiting for her to breakdown hoping she was okay she cast her patronus "Expecto patronum," she said and the tasmanian devil appeared before her eyes. After casting the spell she asked "I-Is Hermoine here?". Harper looked up to Hermoine so much she wanted to be part of the ministry of magic, but she could only hope for the best.

Harry grins “Wonderful, Rayne. I’ll contact you later. And as for Harper, unfortunately Hermione, has left. Not to worry though, she reads all owls sent to her, even those by students. She believes everyone has something worth it to say, young or old, no matter your blood type”

As soon as Harry finished speaking, a dark cloud of black smoke descended over the castle. It lifted minutes later, but this time round something was different. The atmosphere had changed, and the creepy voice spoke again “Your efforts are futile. A student is dead” And with a laugh, the voice became silent. Everyone was ushered to the Great Hall, while select few Teachers headed out to find the dead body. It turned out to be Willow Lestrange. She had been found lying dead not too far from the Ravenclaw dorms, a secret compartment behind a picture of mice. Burn marks were visible, severe, yes, but not that bad enough to be the cause of death. It was likely that the killing curse had been used. Willow was a very well known girl, a kind soul, someone who none could detest. Why did it have to be her?

Faith was terrified beyond her wits. “Will the school close down?” She asks Soleil.
Meanwhile Emily is holding Rayne’s shoulder in fear. “What do we do now?”

Dimitri was sent along with the other students, and his face was stony with worry. This time, he wasn't sweating, his eyes didn't go wide. Somehow, after that last scare, it was as if he had become a masked version of himself. He wasn't going to be afraid this time. He could handle it, no matter how involved he was in the prophecy. He had to do what was needed, what would have made him proud. He stood by himself, arms crossed.

Upon finding out the identity of the killed student(through Emerald who she had sent to search alongside the teachers), Emika frowned. This little game had sprouted its first blood... She needed more information. Knowing merely a name didn't help her as she was a first-year, so she would need to ask around to learn more about this... Willow Lestrange...to figure out how and why she was killed. For now, she waited among the students in the Great Hall, saying not a word and simply listening in on the whispers.

Upon hearing the news, Jules blanched and felt his stomach roll uncomfortably. Someone had died. Someone had died and he hadn't done anything to try and prevent it. Logically, he knew that this was an absurd train of thought. He couldn't stop everything bad that would happen but it still felt like a monumental failure to let a student die. A few other Head Students agreed with his sentiments and left to talk with the Headmistress.

Meanwhile, Jules hovered over the body, unsure. There were spells and charms that could be cast to track down magic signatures and his theory was that a spell had killed the sweet student, not fire. But casting a spell over a dead body felt sacrilegious and it felt cold to use her corpse as a stepping stone for their investigation. She had been a person, a vibrant and kind soul who had wandered these halls just a few hours ago. Gritting his teeth, Jules pressed the heel of his palms against his eyes as a kaleidoscope of colours burst behind his eyelids. Soft swearing tumbled from his mouth as he turned away from the body. This was exactly why he wanted to disappear from the magical world, wanting nothing to do with the petty politics and world ending events that threatened to topple over their society. Removing his hands, Jules blinked away the swirling fireworks and stumbled towards Professor Flitwick. He just wanted to break down safely and he knew that the Professor who he viewed as a father figure was the safest place. Everything was just too much

A student is dead. A student is dead.
The thought revolved in Suvansh's mind, not being able to wrap his head around the situation. There was a prophecy, yes. Someone cast Morsmorde, check. But killing a student. That was just another whole level for Suvansh. While he didn't know Willow much, chatter suggested how sweet of a soul she was. It made him panic more than the thought that there was a fricking dragon in the Forbidden Forest a moment ago, which he was just about to go check out. For now, though, he went into the Great Hall and tried to cheer up anyone he could find who was scared, whether it was a Hufflepuff or Slytherin, first-year or fifth.

A student is dead. Who? Rey looked around in a panic, almost expecting to see a corpse in the surroundings. But he didn't need to go far to find out, for word travels fast when the entire school was talking about it at the same time. Willow Lestrange. Rey never heard of that name, never talked to her, never knew her, but he sense a feeling of panic and deep pain for her. After all, it happened in the school of Magic, hogwarts, the school which had one of the best security in the system.

But it was over, and amist all the panic, the only way to get through this would be to protect himself. He was with the other evacuated students, and had managed to grab his suitcase along before he left. No one would probably notice if he disappeared. He opened his seemingly bottomless suitcase once again, and jumped in.

In the suitcase, now as big as a room, he took out various scrolls, all notes on his latest spell, which may be the only battle related spell he would ever be able to legally learn. (after all, you can't ban it if the spell was just made). It was a Reanimate spell. He originally created the spell to bring a imaginary friend to life, having gotten inspiration to the moving paintings in hogwarts but now, the spell held greater importance to him than ever before. He will perfect it soon.

Rayne's eyes widened, someone died, someone actually died. all of her thoughts whirled around in her head she remembered what the prophecy had said "here will be unpreventable deaths, Injuries and more". "I have no idea," she said grimly.

The Teachers once more conduct a sweep of the grounds. “I don’t understand— What do they not get? The prophecy clearly stated the villain is among us all. Why aren’t they checking each and every one of us? Is not the new Dark Lord a student?” Faith asks loudly, though to no one in particular. Some students around her shrug, more worried about the dead student. It’s a Lestrange that was killed…..a pure blood…..Lestrange! The Lestranges were well known supporters of the Dark Lord. Why would one be killed? Is anyone safe anymore? Whispers could be heard all around, and Emily scoffs. “Seems like the new Dark Lord doesn’t care who they kill. Pure blood, half blood, muggleborn. All are going to die.”

The boy was thinking. That was what he did best after all. Dimitri's mind was running quickly, and he had immaidently went into what his mother jokingly called his "Critical mode." He was leaving behind all other other thoughts. Just what needed to be done.

Willow Lestrange was dead. A kind girl, but a girl of the Lestranges.

The prophecy-marked people were in danger

He was in danger

How in the world was he going to get out of this one? He recgonzied Faith's voice and said outloud, "Because by then it would be too late. And besides, how would they know?"

Faith was about to reply Dimitri, when Professor Sprout’s voice rings out. “It is on behalf of the Headmistress and the Ministry of Magic that I have delivered this message. Students will now take part in training and defense class, on duelling after lessons. This is compulsory, so in the light of recent events, exams will be canceled, as will Quidditch practices. For those the hat spoke of, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Ginny Weasley, will be teaching you in the Room of Requirement. The rest of you will be aided by Minister Hermione Granger, Luna Lovegood, Neville Longbottom and Padma Patil. Each of you, prophecy or non prophecy, are expected to put your best foot forward. We will not be giving homework, but will expect you to practice the defensive and offensive spells and hexes taught.” Staring heavily at everyone to make sure they understood, she sighs before leaving, calling out “Anyone with questions, please come to the staff room, in pair, or groups. No one is to travel alone. Head boy, make sure everything goes well, and no one misbehaves. We’ll be sleeping in the Great Hall tonight. All Teachers will be patrolling, as well as reinforcements from the Ministry of Magic.
