[Charms] Team 1, Stage 2!

[Ellie Rook]

Ellie was begging to sweat. It was taking a lot out of her holding Fay up. "Do it already!" she said, her patience wearing thin. She saw Bray position him self.

Ellie watched Fay raise her wand and say the spell. Nothing happened. She was ready to drop Fay when she heard a little click and the chest opened. "Wicked." She said, lowered Fay to the ground slowly with a list bit of effort. She wiped her brow and shook out her wand arm.

A slip of parchment floated by her on its way down to the ground. She picked it up. A glanced at the key. She smiled. They had beaten the room. The key was green. There was no green door in the room, but in the other one there was. "It's the green door key." She said. Her face brightened. "And the green door with go into a room where another color key is!" Amazing! They were almost there. "Hubbles is a genius." She smiled at Bray as she held the parchment, and gave Fay a little hug. "Good job." she said to her teammate.

[Felicity Locke]

Felicity grinned at the box opened. "Yes!" She blinked slightly as the key and parchment jumped out of the chest, but really made no random motions to catch it.

Once Fay's feet touched the ground, she turned around and grabbed Ellie into an embrace. She made a little snort and released Ellie. "You did better than I did, holding me up like that. Must've been hard cause I'm so ffaattt." Fay rubbed her stomach and stuck out her tongue.

"Ha! I told you the green door was special. But did you listen? Noooo, because Fay's crazy." Felicity waved her arms above her head and huffed. Of course, she was kidding, she was still rather estatic about figuring out another clue.

[Bradyn Reed]

Bradyn quickly caught the key after it fell, moving out of the way as Fay descended. Looking it over quickly, he decided El was right. "Well, the gold key did open this door. So that would only be common sense." He said, mostly to himself while the girls had a little hug and scream moment. "Pfft, Fay, if you're fat then we're obese."

Pocketing the key, he moved back over to them. "Alright, let's get moving. I'd like up to be up and down to be down again." He said, smiling at them while he glanced at the paper El was holding. One room down, four more to go. They were only getting started, though, and this must have been one of the easier ones.

'Then again, we do make an amazing team.' He thought happily as he walked out of the room back into the pentagon of doom and stopped in front of the green door. "Well, since El did all the work last time I think she should be one of the ones to turn the key. As a reward, of course."

[Ellie Rook]

"Oh please." Ellie said to Fay rolling her eyes. "You're not fat in the least." She smiled at Bray's joke. "See I must be humongous!" Ellie laughed.

Ellie walked out of the upside down room after Bray. She looked around the pentagon room again. It was really more of a chamber she decided. She also decided she liked it much more in the gold door room. She hurried to the green door, eager to get in.

"Oh, why thank you." She said taking the key in her hand as Bray gave it to her. "Not afraid my hand will explode into fire." She said with a smile as she put the key into the lock on the green door. With a smiled she turned it, knowing that it would work.

[Professor Daniel Hubbles]

Oh to be young and confident, but even better to be young and right! As you finally worked out the coloured key opens the same coloured door YAY!!!! So green key in the green door and like before a nice CLICK sounds out!!

The door creaks open and a long corridor is reviled before you, candles mounted on the walls flicker giving off a strange feeling to it all. The floor in covered with dust and at the every end, almost 200 meters down the end of the corridor you see a door.

[Ellie Rook]

Ellie's smile widened as she heard the best sound in the world, the click of the lock unlocking. Before opening the door, she turned to her teammates her smile beaming to them.

Ellie opened the door slowly, taking the key out of the lock as soon as it was open. She had to blink a couple times, the light was making her dizzy. She looked back, before taking the first step in the room. She went a head and took it because she was sure that Bray would run and pull her back making sure the room didn't collapse on her. The first step was one of many that would be needed to take Ellie down the corridor before her. The light, the flickering candles, gave a gloomy feel to the room, like something could jump out at you, but you would have never seen it. Ellie looked down and saw her feet were making marks in the dust on the floor. "I don't think anyone has been in here in a while." Ellie said to who ever was behind her.

Ellie looked up through the flickering light. Ellie groaned. "Another bloody door!" She said. She slowly walked up to it and checked it out. "Now what?" She asked, holding the green key in her hand.

[Bradyn Reed]

Bradyn grinned when the door opened. Soon they would have two doors down, and only a few more to go. They were making pretty good time, too, he thought. He watched El walk the first few steps down the corridor, and stepped in after her when her form started to fade into the darkness.

Walking right behind her, he squinted a bit in the candlelight. And a couple of times, he let his hand brush past El's but both times decided against clasping it in his own. It would be far too rash, of course. When they reached the door, he sighed. Of course, each room had to get more and more difficult, also.

"Well, let's establish one thing.. is it locked?" He said, mostly to himself as he reached out and grasped the handle, turning it a bit to see if it would go. It wouldn't be like Hubbles to leave a simple, unlocked door in the lesson, but what would it hurt to try?

[Felicity Locke]

Felicity eyed El and Bray, but said nothing. Being a veela had its perks. For example, the fact that she was extra sensitive to any feeling of love. Even the smallest fraction of a crush. Fay gave a little 'hmph' at the two, but smiled inwardly.

She shuddered and rubbed her arms. "This place is creepy. All dark with the candles and stuff. I feel like I'm going to be sacrificed or something."

Fay turned to the door that Bray was walking to. It wouldn't be just that easy, would it? Just opening the door. Knowing Hubbles, something would probably pop out of the darkness and try to eat them or something. Felicity shuddered again.

[Professor Daniel Hubbles]

Oh you know Dan far to well…when would he ever make anything easy! But yes…the door is locked with no key hole anywhere to be seen…

Oh and do not worry....nothing will jump out of the darkness...but there is the faint sound of running water!

[Bradyn Reed]

Bradyn frowned. Of course, the door was locked. But how would they get it open, since it was obvious that only by a charm would they be able to do so. "Well, let's think of how we'll get this thing open." He said and turned around so he could see El and Fay better.

"I vote for using the Blasting charm on it." He said, since he was rather impatient and claustrophobic thus Bray wanted the fastest way out of the tin corridor. "Unless anyone has a better idea?"

[Ellie Rook]

Ellie walked up to the door, feeling Bray right next to her. Their hands touched slightly, and Ellie smiled. She felt better that he was right there. Ellie stopped in front of the door. In the light it was hard to see any lock. Placing her hand where a key hole would be normally, she sighed. "Locked and Nothing." She said to Bray.

"You and Fay with blowing up things." Ellie said shaking her head with a smile. "Don't you think we should at least try Alohamora before we go blasting open things?" She said with her hands on her hips. "It is charms were in after all." She said logically. She didn't think that blowing up the door was Hubbles style anyway.

[Felicity Locke]

As El walked closer to Bray, Fay felt the corner of her lips turn up slightly. Pushing away her excitement, Felicity walked up behind Bray and El, but gave them enough space so they wouldn't feel all closed in.

Her lower lip jut out instantly. "Aww El, blowing up things is fun though. Don't hate it until you try it." She looked around the room, pursing her lips slightly. But, she heard something. Water? Fay held up a finger, and glanced at the two. "Do you hear that?"

[Bradyn Reed]

Bradyn grinned. "But, I think if we demolished the door, who cares if it's locked or not anymore?" Since no one else really had an idea, beside alohamora which he didn't think would work on a door with no visible lock, he pointed his wand at the door.

Bray just shrugged when Fay mentioned the water. He heard it too, but it was an old damp corridor and he wasn't surprised that somewhere it would spring a leak.

"Since I didn't hear any nays, I'll just try it." Frowning a bit, he turned back to them for a moment, and gently pushed El and Fay back in case the door splintered. He wouldn't want them to get hurt just because he was being impatient. Once he thought they were far enough away, he took a couple steps back and pointed his wand at the door. "Confringo!" After he said this, he instantly put up her other arm to shield his face.

[Helena Martin]

Helena jumped back, and closed her eyes for a moment, waiting for calm to be restored. She felt awkward not contributing anything yet, as she was usually at least a bit outspoken in class. But quite honestly, she didn't have anything to say. I'm horrible at charms, she thought as the dust and other debris settled, some onto her clothes. She cleaned herself up and looked up at what had happened.

(OOC: I've read the FAQ... I'm allowed to join late like this, right? If not, sorry!)
