Experimental Research

[Helia Ollivander]

'What did Alec's letter say again?' she thought to herself as she reached the seventh floor. 'Okay, find the Barnabas the Barmy tapestry...' she found the familliar picture of the poor man trying to teach trolls how to dance ballet, 'Then you walk past the wall across from it three times...' she did so and then thought of what she needed, 'I need a room where I can practice the Exdamentia spell without killing myself.' she thought hard about it and then... "The door..." she spoke aloud. She looked around and saw Jerred. "There you are! Come on." she dragged him inside the room which she now realized was covered floor to ceiling with shelves full of magic restoring potions and revival draughts. She saw Jerreds look of surprise and decided to explain as little as possible, "Let's just say it pays to have a big brother who's devoted to Harry Potter."

[Jerred Boneman]

"Oh ok..." Jerred gasped as he entered the Room of Requirement. "Why're here for research are we?"

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco rounded the corner seeing a Ravenclaw pacing in front of a wall. Narrowing his eyes, he hid in the shadows of the hallway, watching as Boneman and the girl some how made a door appear that was definitely not there before. Suspicious, he waited for the two to go inside before standing in front of the wall, recalling what the girl had previously done.

[Helia Ollivander]

"Yup. You remember that sketch I was drawing in Addis's class? I want to make it real. I figured I'd start with something small and then... well, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it." she shrugged. "And, with all these potions, you ought to be able to try some stuff too. What do you think?"

[Jerred Boneman]

Jerred looked around the entire room. He saw potions with labels on them, and their descriptions. He saw spell books, rows and racks of them, he saw. "Wow... so this is the Room of Requirement? Convenient. So you're going to try and create that creature, and I'll be doing?"

[Helia Ollivander]

"Whatever you want. The room's big enough that you could probably try to conjure another dragon if you wanted, but... I think I hear someone outside. If anyone comes in here, would you make sure you have a couple of potions ready for me? I may try something... well, stupid. I'm good at that." she smirked.

[Jerred Boneman]

"I see a few restorative potions up there." Jerred said, as he pulled down five potions. "hmm... they're all the same." He said jokingly. He saw another couple of potions. "Hey! Helia, here's one that says:

"Drink this potion so not feel the effects of mass magical consumption."

Wanna try it before you try any spellwork?" Jerred offered.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco scanned the wall curiously, his eyes watching a portrait on the wall that made him snicker. Slowly, he began to retrace Ollivander's steps, what he could remember of them anyway, and stared stubbornly at the wall where the door was supposed to appear. With a frustrated growl, he tried one more time, his eyes widening as a door appeared in front of him.

Hearing voices, sneaky i'm-up-to-something voices, Draco bit his lip, something he didn't quite often do. Then, thinking it'd be much safer, he cast the Disillusionment charm on himself, a handy spell his father had taught him long ago. Even though the door would give him away, he'd have the advantage.

[Helia Ollivander]

"No time." she said as the door began to open. She aimed her wand at the place where a person entering the room would have to walk and said, "Expelliarmus!" she heard someone grunt and then saw a wand fly across the room, which she quickly picked up. "Hmm, interesting wand..." she mumbled. "Now, whoever you are, you can either show yourself, or I will break your lovely little wand here, got it? I'm counting to three and then 'snap' ok? One... two..."

[Jerred Boneman]

"Malfoy!" Jerred said as he scooped up the wand. "I recognise the wand, it's Malfoy!" He immediately through it back into the room and left it there. "Show yourself!" Jerred said as he cast a spell over Malfoy, who appeared suddenly.

[Helia Ollivander]

(ooc: that wouldn't work, besides, I think malfoy is smart enough to want to save his wand, eh?)

[Jerred Boneman]

(ooc: anythings possible! alright...)

[Draco Malfoy]

(ooc: well that happened quite suddenly, can't say i'm not confused 'cause I am oh well, i'll make the best of it!)

Draco stared at Boneman, his eyes narrowed. His father had failed to mention that the spell was that easy to get around. Looking at his wand a little boredly, he stared at Ollivander.

"Daddy can just buy me a new one," he said a bit arrogantly, "you seriously don't expect this to be the first one i've ever had... Not to mention, it could lose Ravenclaw quite a bit of points, don't you think." A smirk placed itself on his face.

His eyes then scanned the room, watching the shelves and shelves of potions. His eyes suddenly turned glassy, and a smile formed on his face. "There's so many of them!" He quickly walked over to a shelf, the two students forgotten. Then realizing where he was, he turned back to the Ravenclaw and Slytherin.

"How on earth did you find this place, Ollivander!" He said, his voice carrying its same, indifferent tone only slightly edged with awe.

[Helia Ollivander]

(ooc: so are you visible or not now? either way...)

"Well if it's not the first that would explain why that spell was so lousy... and why you're visible again." she shrugged, but still held his wand. "Caninic Exdamentia." she mumbled, aiming her own wand at the door. A large black mastiff dog appeared and sat down right in front of the door as a guard against other intruders. "I found this place because my brother told me about it. And just so you know, those are all healing potions. None of them will hurt Jerred or me." she thought clarifying might be wise with this one. "What's it to you anyhow?"

[Jerred Boneman]

(ooc: he's visisble!)

"Malfoy, please leave." Jerred said, placing his wand at his side. "We were simply doing some spell research."
