I did a bit more exploring of the castle grounds during the outage, and I came across something rather peculiar yesterday. Out by the East gate, just past the pool, there's a bit of roped off grass. At first I didn't pay an attention to it, until I realized there was no real reason for the area to be roped off. After further inspection, I discovered an enchantment around it. Some sort of shielding charm. Quite impressive magic, actually. I haven't been able to find my way past them just yet. ~~But I will~~ Does anyone have any idea what it could be hiding? ~~Perhaps it's something to do with our being here~~

	Shielding spell? Like, if you walked into it, it'd be like walking into a wall? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	More like if you weren't looking for it, you probably wouldn't even notice it was there at all. You'd walk right past it without a second thought. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	People would probably have walked by it anyway, if it's just a piece of grass. Maybe? Like I know how all that works. What are you going to do about it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's part of the charm. Clearly there's more there than just a bit of grass. It's only made to look that way to hide whatever is really there. Any spell can be reversed if you work at it long enough. There's bound to be an entrance or a weak spot somewhere. I'm going to keep working at it until I figure out what's being hidden.

	Not that I have any idea what I could do, but if I can help... What do you think it's hiding? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	spewed 2013-06-14 07:52 pm UTC (link)
	I appreciate the offer, but it will take magic to break it down. To be perfectly honest, I rather hope that whatever it is can provide some answers about why we're here or how we arrive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_notacoward 2013-06-14 08:00 pm UTC (link)
	If it was so important, why would it be right smack-dab in the middle of all of us? And, you don't think whoever is trying to hide it will have a problem with you messing with it? I don't want you to ~~disappear~~ get in trouble. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	spewed 2013-06-14 08:07 pm UTC (link)
	Then again, sometimes the best place to hide something is right under your nose. I have no doubt that whoever it is won't take kindly to me looking into it. But I'm hardly going to let that stand in my way. It could be something useful to us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_notacoward 2013-06-14 08:11 pm UTC (link)
	It also could be something like The Big Red Button. Are you sure that's a good idea? You got this magic thing down, I know, but I still got a sick feeling in my gut. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Beth spewed 2013-06-14 08:18 pm UTC (link)
	What if it was something that could help me figure out how to help you and your friends stay here? I'm willing to take that risk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Beth \| Hermione _notacoward 2013-06-14 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	That would be amazing, but if you asked me or any of them, they wouldn't want you risking anything if you were going in blind. Never ever rush into a dark room. Is there any way you can find out more before poking at it? Maybe ask around with people who've been here so long. Or the staff. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Beth \| Hermione spewed 2013-06-14 08:31 pm UTC (link)
	All right. If it'll make you feel better, I'll spend some more time looking into it first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Beth \| Hermione _notacoward 2013-06-14 08:34 pm UTC (link)
	I could hug you. I bet I could get some muscle on that for you, too. Rick and Daryl are really good at getting information out of people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Beth \| Hermione spewed 2013-06-14 08:36 pm UTC (link)
	Well, I never say no to a hug. That could certainly be helpful. If they don't mind, of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Beth \| Hermione _notacoward 2013-06-14 08:39 pm UTC (link)
	I don't think they'd mind, though you can bet the faces they'll give me at first are gonna be priceless. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Beth \| Hermione spewed 2013-06-14 08:40 pm UTC (link)
	What? They don't usually go looking for information about magically hidden bits of grass? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Beth \| Hermione _notacoward 2013-06-14 09:13 pm UTC (link)
	Exactly. Though once I get them past the 'you're looney' stage... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Beth \| Hermione spewed 2013-06-15 05:51 am UTC (link)
	Hold that thought. According to Tracey it's nothing to do with why we're here, and I need to go speak with Regulus. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Beth \| Hermione _notacoward 2013-06-15 06:02 am UTC (link)
	Oh. Regulus? Another one of yours? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Beth \| Hermione spewed 2013-06-15 06:05 am UTC (link)
	The elder, not the younger. Yes, he is. He's the brother of my best friend's godfather. I haven't had the opportunity to speak with him since I arrived, but I intend to change that now. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	t_davis 2013-06-14 09:12 pm UTC (link)
	You need to talk to Regulus about that. And no, it's not why we're here. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	spewed 2013-06-15 05:52 am UTC (link)
	Suppose it really would be too easy to be the reason we're here. I'll go and speak with Regulus. Thank you, Tracey. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	t_davis 2013-06-15 05:53 am UTC (link)
	It's a nice wish. Of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	spewed 2013-06-15 06:03 am UTC (link)
	It really is quite a lovely piece of magic. I can't believe it's taken me this long to notice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	t_davis 2013-06-15 04:43 pm UTC (link)
	It wouldn't be quite so lovely if you had noticed earlier. How are you doing with this place? Now that Potter's back, of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	spewed 2013-06-17 04:29 am UTC (link)
	A very good point. I've settled in more than I thought I would. I still miss home terribly, though. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	littlest_king 2013-06-14 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	Oh ya, you have to talk to my older self about that. First rule of Roped Off Plot of Land Club, you don't talk about Roped Off Plot of Land. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	spewed 2013-06-15 05:53 am UTC (link)
	What? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	littlest_king 2013-06-15 06:13 am UTC (link)
	You just need to talk to Older Regulus. Even I can't undo his magic and I am him... just you know, younger, kinder, better in every way. But book learnings. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	spewed 2013-06-15 06:45 am UTC (link)
	I no, I understood that bit. I just meant the club thing. Though, now I'm suspecting that was a joke. I'm terrible at catching onto them sometimes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	littlest_king 2013-06-15 07:04 am UTC (link)
	Ya, that was a joke. Sorry. The best time to talk to my older self is... okay, so there is no 'best time', you just have to poke him and see if he responds. Hopefully favorably. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I rarely make good first impressions, so I might need a bit of luck on this one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	littlest_king 2013-06-15 10:47 am UTC (link)
	Hey! You're in luck. He rarely makes a good impression either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	spewed 2013-06-17 04:29 am UTC (link)
	Well then we should make quite the pair. (Reply to this) (Parent)
