CAGED

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

As stated in Professor Amycus Carrow's post, the Student Authority and the Carrows had dinner in Alecto Carrow's office. During dinner, the Carrows, who were obviously displeased with the latest issue of Phoenix Press, looked annoyed and on edge.

"There will be dorm raids tonight, due to the events of the student organisation known as Dumbledore's Army," Amycus grumbled, giving Draco Malfoy an annoyed look. "Like last time, there will be probity probes to assist you with catching illegal copies of Phoenix Press. If a student does not cooperate with you or you feel that they may be associated with the illegal organisation, you are to bring them directly here."

He paused for a few moments, as he headed towards Alecto's desk, where there were plenty of copies of the Phoenix Press laying around. Amycus picked one copy and examined it carefully, as though it was his first time seeing it. "Dumbledore's Army has caused much trouble for you, as well as your peers, with their constant need for dramatics. We will not be supporting such activities, and they should be punished for their actions. They spread lies and expect everyone to believe they are not directly affiliated with the terrorist organisation known as the Order of the Phoenix." Without another word from Amycus, he tossed the paper in the air as it burst into flames and only ashes fell on the floor.

"Like last time, you will be searching dorms that are not your own." Alecto began, taking over for her brother, "You will be partnered up as you search dorms for any clues about this organisation. Search through anything that you believe will be susceptible -- under beds, in trunks, in closets, in bags, etc. If students refuse to cooperate with you, bring them here and they will be given punishment accordingly."

"But," Amycus interjected, quickly. "There will be a reward waiting for the Prefect that shows initiative in this process. The Prefect Lounge will also see an improvement, if things go well."

Alecto picked up her clipboard and gave the students a stern look. "I expect this to be over within two hours. We're taking careful note of your successes and failures. Very. Careful. Note. Take your probity probe and go."

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."
