Mickey walked back to the courtyard after his class, he was having s hard time using the Patronus spell, when he was at the common room, he was doing ok with the spell but now he couldn't do it. He took out his wand and tried to perform the Patronus charm but he failed. He walked back to the Hufflepuff common room.

Jennifer protested, but only a little, especially when she saw Faith flash her fangs. "F-fine by me," she stuttered angrily, following Professor Mcgonggall, and keeping a clear distance from Faith.

Professor McGonagall led them to the dungeons, where Potions Master Horace Slughorn was waiting for them. “Ah, Minerva, excellent, excellent. Now….Jennifer, Faith, you’ll be helping me find and carefully pick herbs and other various items. We’ll meet back here in about an hour?” Faith grins “Of course, Professors”, before skipping off red-riding-hood style. Meanwhile, back in the castle, just above the Astronomy Tower, someone cried out in a rough voice “MORSMORDE”, and immediately afterwards, voices rippled throughout the school. “I know you seek to find those with the patronuses as the prophecy mentioned. By then you’ll be too late”

Upon hearing this, the professors immediately gather everyone in their respective common rooms, no questions asked, as Professor Sprout and Hagrid head out to find Jennifer and Faith. They soon found the latter, and Professor Sprout ushered her back to her dorm, while Hagrid went searching for Jennifer

Jennifer had hurried away from the classroom just as Faith did. The minute that she heard the sound of the terrfying voice, she freaked out. Jennifer had ran down a hallway, locking herself in a classroom and refusing to come out.


Dimitri was nervously pacing up and down the common room, muttering to himself, hands wringing and eyes wide. This was not good.

Sterling seemed panicked, stroking her Kneazle once she was in her common room. She seemed concerned about the messages, more importantly, her Patronus. It couldn't be an eagle or one of the prophecy animals, right?

Mickey decided to not go into the common room and ran into the woods, he knew that he would get in trouble if he was caught but he didn't care, once e reached the woods he sat down next to a tree to read the small book in his pocket.

Emika had made it to the Slytherin Common Room just before the voices echoed through the school. While most of the students stayed in the Common Room out of fear, she went up to the dorms. She would not be terrified by this mess that had dropped onto Hogwarts. Even so, she held a twinge of fear in her heart, namely because she was familiar with this tactic. She prayed that she had nothing to do with this... Emika shook her head. Of course not. There was no reason for it. Still, the fear was present... Emika sat on her bed and pulled Emerald from her enclosure, feeling the need to soothe herself.

Mickey noticed the time and he quickly rushed in quietly, then he went to his dorm and sat on his bed, looking out the window.

Soleil couldn't keep denying what was now blatantly true. They were in danger. Serious danger too. Maybe she should reveal her patronus to someone. "No." she muttered. She would stay hidden. No matter how bad it was, she would not get involved. Never again. She had tried to interfere with something over her head once before, and it had killed her sister and her brother. Soleil would never forgive herself if she killed another person she cared about. The leopard would stay hidden.

Mickey sat down, he looked at Owlbert before feeding him and looked at a picture with him and and unknown person in it.

Cass had opened her mouth to protest. It most certainly wouldn't be any trouble for her to help find the students who had matching patronuses with the prophecy- it would actually give her a perfect excuse to skip her classes. But more importantly, it would most likely take a lot of stress off Suvanish and Jules. But she couldn't voice her thoughts because Suvanish was already leading Jules away.

She turns away, deciding that it would be best to not continue this issue, at least for now. She would bring it up later, preferably after they had taken a break. She was about to leave the common room when Micky entered, she stepped to the side, giving him space to move around her before she continues her pursuit towards..

Defense against the dark arts? According to her schedule, class had already started. She sighs and pauses in the middle of the hallway. They could miss her for one more day, maybe she could work on practicing spells in private? Especially with the prophecy and all...

"I know you seek to find those with the patronuses as the prophecy mentioned. By then you'll be too late." The voice booms down the hallway. Cass looks around instinctively, expecting to find a person that wasn't there. She was alone in the hallways, but not for long, soon teachers and students alike were pouring through the hallways, eventually the teachers herded the students into their common rooms. Cass tasked herself with the chore of reassuring the younger students that everything was alright. All the while she couldn't help but think about those words.

It was a threat, that was clear. But oddly enough, it also sounded like they were being given a tip. Was the person behind all of this toying with them? The thought of that made her clench her fists. Why? WHY? Was this person doing this? It was exactly what she had suspected earlier. Whoever this person was, they had to be in this school, unless the real person behind this was having help. The realization should scare her, but instead, it enraged her. She doubt that person was strong enough to send a message like that while being outside the school. If she found them she'd.... She'd....

She sighs again and shakes her head. She wasn't in the right mindset. She had to calm down. Focus on the task at hand, she had to calm these students down. She'd pick apart that message later.

"Wha- no! I'm not copying from you! That's basically cheating! And even if I'm not testing my N.E.W.T. on it, I still have to attend class. Astronomy is important I'll have you know" He sputtered, digging in his metaphorical heels and pouting like a petulant child. To anyone else it would be hilarious, seeing the head boy being strong armed into finally resting but to the person in question, it was anything but. Perhaps it was old habits that have yet to die but the very idea of stopping even if just for a moment seemed like the end of the world. "Besides I can keep going! I'll just nap during dinner or something but I really can't rest just yet. There's still so many things to be done. At least let me tell Professor Flitwick or I'll charm your textbooks to run away from you and invert your robe colours! I'll even agree to have Cassandra help us! Casandra! Help m-" His whining cut off when he realized that their third conversation partner had left them, much like she did her classes. A small sliver of hurt settled within his chest as he did want to ask Cassandra for her assistance but it was it was quickly forgotten as with this momentary lapse, Suvansh was finally able to herd Jules into their shared room. The click of the lock seemed so final, ringing out amongst the Hufflepuff common room and signifying to any stunned onlookers that there was nothing else to see

After class Rayne put all her books in the dorm and simply grabbed her sketchbook, a pencil, and a little bag. She then headed outside and sat down next to a big tree she blew the whistle on her necklace and for a hot moment, nothing happened and then wind roared in her ears and a chestnut-colored hippogriff appeared at her side. "Daybreaker!" she said with excitement "Here you are! Oh you must be tired," she opened the little bag and fed him a few worms.

The teachers conduct a careful sweep of the Hogwarts grounds. Nothing seemed unusual, so everyone were once again made to stay in their dormitories/common rooms for the night. Professor McGonagall quite literally summoned Jules and Suvansh to the Great Hall. “Boys….I’m really sorry to disturb you, but we, now more than ever, need to find the people mentioned in the prophecy, and fast. I’ve recruited—“ McGonagall gestures behind her, where Minister Of Magic Hermione Granger, and Aurors Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and a few other memorable names like Ginny Weasley, Luna Lovegood, Seamus Finnigan and many more from Harry’s Hogwarts time stood. Harry grins, holding out his hand to Suvansh “Nice to know you’re eager to help. We’ll be helping out in Hogwarts from now on, well apart from Hermione. She’s just overseeing the process, and also giving out the main instructions. We’re all more than happy to help track down and guide those in the Hat’s prophecy.” Harry pauses to draw a breath, before continuing. “Anyways, this is the new Order Of The Phoenix. Cool, isn’t it?”

Emika stayed on her bed when the teachers called the safe announcement, though she hid Emerald whenever someone entered the dorm. Emerald was more than a pet to her, she was a companion, a friend, and she wanted to keep her safe as she didn't trust the other students very much... "Nevermind that" she thought to herself. She was here to learn magic, not build up a nonexistent social life. Still, her previous lifestyle made her rather lonely... Whatever. She decided to try out the wizard's chess, though there wasn't too much difference so she quickly fell bored of it. After a mere twenty rounds she decided to retire for the night.

Faith was busy with her own pet, seated nearby Emika. Unlike her, Faith was much less concerned about others seeing the reticulated python. Since it was just the two of them in the room, Faith was conversing busily with the python, in Parseltongue.


Emily went to find Rayna, bowing to Daybreaker as a greeting, keeping eyes locked with it. “Hello Rayne” She says

Once the annoncment had been made, Dimitri was slightly relived...but not fully. He had nothing to do, no way to distract himself, so he decided he was just going to get outside, as fast as possible. Unfourtanetly, he was too lost in his thoughts and only broke his train of thought when he heard the words, 'stupid prophecy', and accidentlly bumped into Soleil.

---

"FREAKING HELL MAN" Soleil dropped her books, which landed on her toe, which led to a long string of curse words in another language. "Watch where you're going!" she muttered, grabbing her books. She narrowed her eyes when she realized she didn't recognize the person who bumped into her. "Now who might you be?" she asks curiously, her tone changing entirely. Soleil liked meeting new people. People who didn't bring up a mental sage-wall (valorant reference) every time they were around her.

Dimitri bristled at first, ready to defend himself, but relaxed when he realized what her attitude to him was. "Sorry," he apologized stiffly, "I just..have a lot on my mind lately and your muttering startled me." He looked down at his feet, suddenly realizing that he hadn't interacted with a new person in awhile. "I'm Dimitri."

Jules had been in the middle of attempting to crawl out the window just to get to Astronomy class when he had been quite literally summoned into the Great Hall. Stumbling slightly, he immediately straightened when he spotted McGonagall with a light embarrassed blush dusting his cheeks. His nerves only grew when she began to explain that she had gathered some of the most famous and influential wizards alive. He really hoped that he wasn't included in the Order of the Phoenix business, that would quite possibly be the end of his rope, education and public presence be damned, and go off the grid right then and there. He lingered behind Suvansh, not willing to put himself in the spotlight. It wasn't like he was being impolite, quite the opposite as he gave those gathered warm smiles but otherwise didn't offer up any interaction.

In part, it was due to fear. See the Hadiran family was well known for being fanatical followers of the original Dark Lord yet had never been imprisoned as no solid evidence had been found. As a member of said family, it was very uncomfortable experience to be faced down by what was essentially the wizarding CIA. Sure, it wasn't like he had anything to hide but still. It wasn't like the Hadrian name was trusted or even welcome.

Suvansh's eyes shined in awe as he saw a huge bunch of the Order of the Phoenix members, assembled, willing to help them, in the Great Hall. And Harry Potter, he was- he was offering him a hand shake- and called them members of the new Order of the Phoenix! The third edition! Hell yea!
While he did not really hero worship the elder wizards or anything, it was a pretty big deal still for him, to meet them all in person, together. As much as he wanted to go about talking to them about all the stories he read of the Battle of Hogwarts, they had something better to do. So he gives Harry a curt nod, puts an arm around Jules, and says, "Are you going to explain, Jules Spellmaker Hadrian? Or use me as a meat shield for all the attention!?"
