The clock that sat above the fireplace in the Ravenclaw common room chimed indicating that yet another hour had passed and Ingrid was still struggling along with her Herbology assignment on the different properties of Mimbulus Mimbletonia. She absentmindedly spun her owl feathered quill in between her fingers as she tried to think of how to word how the Stinksap which the plant produces was an average defence mechanism without sounding too harsh…but there truly seemed to be no words to describe it. With a sigh she dipped the tip of her quill into the ink pot and was just starting to write her opening sentence when a loud scream sounded out from the balcony above causing Ingrid to jump and a rather large line to appear on her page. But it was not that what was worrying her, no it were the cries from the portraits above.
“Oh My!”
“What are they doing here?”
“Busted! Quick open it up!”
As Ingrid looked up she saw a gaggle of determined Slytherin’s flinging open a cage containing some rather excitable looking Cornish Pixies. With a look of horror Ingrid could do nothing but stare as the little blue creatures where set free with a screech of delight as they started to wreck havoc on the Ravenclaw Commonroom. Trying to regain her composure Ingrid reached insided her robe pocket to pull out her robe only to discover it was no longer there. Quickly looking around to try and see where she had dropped it the Ravenclaw noticed in horror a Pixie flying upwards towards the star covered dome ceiling and winging wildly in its arms was her wand.
“Oh boy.” Ingrid reacted for a pillow on the chair near her and threw it up towards the little creature who had her wand, of course due to her lack of athletic ability the pillow neither made it to the right height or in the right direction…now what was she going to do?

Mikhail sat in his bed in Ravenclaw's boy's dorms with the curtains drawn completely, isolating himself from the outside world. The window next to his bed open slightly allowing the brisk night air to drift into the room as well as the sounds of the peaceful night. This was Mikhail's favorite time, where people were getting ready for bed or doing homework, either way it was fairly quiet, and the natural sounds of the wondrous night came alive. He continued to sit contently, legs crossed and a interesting book open in his lap.
A sudden and abrupt scream made Mikky jump in his skin making him loss his place in the book. The yells and cried continued for a bit before Mikhail quickly threw the curtains back and made his way to the common room to see what the commotion was about. What he found was not what he expected to see.
"What in the hell." Mikhail gasped as he was the little blue creatures known as Cornish Pixies were flying around and making a mess out of everything. He was brought back from his shock when he saw from his peripheral vision a couch pillow being thrown. He had know clue where the person was aiming at since it was nowhere close to pixies.
"What's happening here?!" Mikky called out to the girl who threw the pillow.
((OOC- Is this okay?))

It seemed that Ingrid was not the only one who was taken aback by the appearance of Cornish Pixies filling the room and the chaos that issued because of it. Despite the disappearance of almost all of the Ravenclaw’s that where present in the main common room area it seemed that there was at least one fellow Claw willing to help as a boy came running into the room from the dormitory. He asked the obvious questions and as Ingrid spun around to look at him all she could do was stare open mouthed and shrug.
“I don’t know. It all hap-…” before she could finish her sentence a Pixie flew down and made a grab for her hair. Giving off a small squeal Ingrid ducked and put her arms above her head and ran behind Mikky for a bit more cover. “It all happened so quickly and before I knew it they had stolen my wand.”
With yet another squeak Ingrid ducked once more as another Cornish Pixie swooped close towards them. Oh why could she not think of anything to do? She was a Ravenclaw after all, intelligence was meant to be their thing and at the moment a bunch of Cornish pixies was beating them, this could not be born. “I need to get my wand back! Please help me.”

Alexis had been outside flying which was her normal habit after she ate. It was just the right time too people were busy catching up on homework or eating or busy doing their own thing which was why the Quidditch Pitch was usually nice and empty just the way she liked it. She sighed contentedly as she grabbed her broom and climbed on letting it whip her off the ground her light brown hair blowing in the wind as she took of to do a lap around the field then another and another. She was out there for a good hour before she realized it was starting to get dark and she would need to head in.
She just got so carried away when it came to flying and being up in the air. It was like therapy for her it allowed her think, reflect, and just be. So when she landed it was with a clear mind. Holding her broom tightly in her hand she made her way back to the castle. She was happy now and didn't think anything could bring her down not even that killer essay she had to write for potions could bring her down.
As she walked through the castle she ran into some friends here and there and stopped to talk to a few of them happily telling them where she had just been and how good it was to be up in the air. If you got her talking about flying you might not get her to shut up. It was several minutes before she finally made her way to the towers which was where Ravenclaw House was located. As she made her way to the entrance she wondered what the riddle would be in order to gain entrance and if she would get the right answer the first time. As she heard the new riddle she grinned because she did know the answer "it takes two" she said proudly as the entrance appeared and she entered.
Alexis had been smiling a second ago but when she took stock of what was going on in the common room she stared shocked. "What the hell is going on here" she bellowed to the only other two students in the room with her. The Cornish pixies were all over running amok in the common room destroying anything they could get their hands on. Alexis knew what those little blighters could do if someone didn't stop them. She grabbed her wand pointing it as one flew at her trying to grab her wand but Alexis' reflexes were too good and she stopped the swoop and grab to the annoyance of the pixie who flew away cursing.
Alexis wand still in hand stood straight taking a deep breath she thought of the one spell that would take care of them "Immobulous" she cried and a jet of light flew out of her wand hitting the pixies who all seemed to freeze in mid air. Seconds later she heard something clatter to the floor looking down she caught sight of the wand and shook her head "someones wand" she said looking toward the other two. "Would someone care to explain what happened here" she asked her voice harsh.

Before Mikhail could answer another pixie made a dive for the Ravenclaws which made him crouched down. Mikky wait for the attack, seconds ticketed by yet no little pixie was pulling on his hair. Actually, the entire room grew quiet, all the mayhem seemed to stopped. Curious, he looked up slightly to see why the little demons stopped suddenly and saw that they were floating in mid air. He, then, noticed another girl standing at the entrance of the common room, demanding what was going on like he had.
"I really don't know." He said as he walked over to were the wand had hit the floor. "I was doing homework when all this began. Here you go." He said handing the wand by to it's owner. "Are you sure you don't know what happen?" Asking Ingrid.
While waiting for an answer, Mikky looked around, seeing what damage was done and there was a lot. Vases were broken, chairs knocked over and books with their pages ripped out littered the floors. "I hate them so much." He mutter under his breath and glared at the Cornish pixies.

Ingrid has lost track of what was happening, everything around her seemed to be happening so quickly and after a while all she could see were burs of blue flying around her. After a few more yelps as the creatures poked and pulled at her everything suddenly became quiet, motionless and it took a couple of seconds for Ingrid to work out what had happened before it twigged in her mind. Then the sound of the Ravenclaw prefect Alexis Heart sounded out above them and looking up nervously Ingrid listened to what she had to say before Mikhail turned to question here with her wand in his hand. It was like Ingrid had been hit with a tongue tie curses and she started to stammer and fall over her words…she felt like she was being accused.
“Th-there were these er…th-th d-door erm…” She fell silent and shot the other two a small smile. “S-some one came into the commonroom room and…and dropped a c-cage full of these pixies.” She was slowly regaining her composure when she was telling her story. “Then they stole my wand when I was trying to stop them and then you guys came to help…th-thank you.”
Her thank you was a little bit sheepish as she felt very silly for being caught out in such a way but was very thankful that her fellow Ravenclaw’s had been so helpful! It was only when Mikky mentioned about how much he hated them did Ingrid notice the chaos that had been created and the damage to their commonroom. “I guess we should clean everything up before we get in trouble for all of this.”
Bending down Ingrid started to pick up the books that lay on the floor but then…no it must have been her imagination, that pixie could not have twitched, the magic could not be wearing off already…could it?
