WHO: Carrows, Student Authority, and then the Student Body!
WHERE: Hogwarts
WHAT: Let the Dorm Raids begin...
WHEN: Directly after dinner
STATUS: IC/OOC!

At dinner, the Carrows were strangely absent. Headmaster Snape, however, made his first announcement since the Welcoming Speech to tell all Student Authority to immediately report to Alecto Carrow's office promptly after dinner.

Once the Student Authority arrived, Amycus and Alecto stood next to the piles of Phoenix Press the students had gathered and looked ...testy. It was very obvious that someone or something had ticked them off and their patience was wearing thin.

"Tonight will be a dorm raid," said Amycus scruffily, staring long and hard at some students, namely Ernie Macmillan. "This is what Alecto and I want to happen. You are to take these--" he gathered a stack of probity probes, "...and you will look for hidden copies of The Quibbler and Phoenix Press. Any student you catch with them must be given detention with Argus Filch."

He ran his hand against his scruffy neck, looking particularly stiff as he continued: "ALSO! Alecto and I want you to specifically look for clues pertaining to 'Dumbledore's Army'. It's apparently a group that has been causing quite a scene at Hogwarts lately. They're the ones responsible for this filth," he pointed at the Press. "And we have been told they are responsible for the graffiti as well."

Alecto took out her clipboard that was becoming quite the staple of hers. She perused a list in front of her before looking back up the students and giving a pleasant smile. "We have been informed that such a group existed and may still. Look for anything you can," she said sweetly. "They may have a list of names. Scour rooms. Look under beds, under blankets, in trunks, in closets. Any clues that are beneficial will certainly not go unrewarded."

"Speaking of rewards," continued Amycus with a smarmy grin, "The prefect and/or Head who comes back with the most illegal newspapers as well as good Dumbledore's Army clues will receive some nice perks." He chuckled. "But here's the kicker. Heads and prefects will be raiding Houses other than their own, except for the Head Boy, as he must assist Ms. Avery. We are doing it this way because sometimes people often turn a blind eye...to their friends." He jokingly elbowed (but more like jabbed) a student in the side.

Almost instantly, the smile melted off of Alecto's face and changed into a hard pressed line. "Now what are you all still standing here for? You have two hours to complete this task. Take a probe and go."
