Where: The South Wing
What: More adventure than was originally planned
With the advent of Gabe's theory that the curses on the castle were being renewed by a power source somewhere on the grounds, Headmaster Schechter had redoubled efforts to clear out the quarantined areas. No one was to work alone and most of the spells were complicated enough to require a second set of eyes, which was how William found himself being relieved of evening library duties to assist Brendon with one of the most intricate charm-webs he'd ever seen up in the South Wing. Also affectionately known as the Nightmare Room.
William flipped a page in the enormous charms text he'd brought up with him, noting a few similarities in the diagram but just as many differences. "It's set up like a chain reaction, that's all I can tell," he informed Brendon, pushing his glasses up on the bridge of his nose. He'd use the vision charm for the rest of the day, but tonight promised many hours of poring over crabbed, handwritten explanations that had faded over hundreds of years in poor lighting, and for that he was giving up and reverting to the mechanical. He looked up at the web again, spelled temporarily into shimmering visibility. "It's all interlinked. If we try to trigger or disable one, we'll end up setting them all off."
