Hah! Take that nuffle!

As you decide that you best not enter the greenhouse and go somewhere else you feel a sharp pain strike the back of your neck. It happens so fast but you can't stop yourself as you buckle to your knees and fall to the ground, your face smacking heavily against the cold leaf strewn entranceway. Darkness comes as you lose consciousness...you are just able to see a shady figure, tall and menacing, emerge ahead of you, stepping closer as you struggle to keep your eyes open.

Thud...thud...thud...the figure draws closer as you close your eyes and fall enter into darkness.

>>23474773
I hope so. It's about time. Not good news for Millie, but if anything that would tell us that we're on the right track.

When you awake you find yourself too weak to open your eyes and instead resolve to taking in your surroundings.

It smells like soap and pumpkin juice, you're lying on something hard yet springy enough as to not cause you pain. Your head rings with a shrill noise that won't go away, a migraining forming in the base of your skull.

You're not wearing your glasses either, your nose hurts too...has it been broken?

You feel something cold touch your hand.

"Is she awake?" says a voice, you can't make out who it is.

"I don't know" says another, lighter voice.

You feel something brush past your face. An awful smell like fish fills your nostrils. You can't help but open your eyes and grimace.

The Hogwarts hospital room fills your hazy vision in flashes of white until the ringing in your head subsides. The faces of the Headmaster, professor's Avori, Leverty and Trib look in on you, faces deadly serious.

"I would never do that, it wasn't me!" you say, fighting back tears as your lip starts to shake.

"C-can't you use some kind of truth potion?" you ask, wiping away the snot with the bedsheets.

Trib raises her hands in the air with exasperation.

"Yeah, because teachers just walk around with truth serums in their pockets!" she says.

"Do you though?" asks Avori

You tell them everyting in as much detail as possible.

Barring the Headmaster who tiredly listens professors Avori and Trib's suspician eases to understanding. Tooledge asks to be left alone with you as the professors show themselves out.

"I must apologize Miss Fauxly" says Tooledge, before you can speak he continues.

"I know that it was not you're intention to poison any of the house elves or your fellow students. What's more I believe someone in this school is working to frame students and I suspected you were one of them."

At this moment Tooledge looks centuries older, his face pale white, his eyes blinking slowly.

"Yes." he says "I and the two professors who were just here have been keeping a close eye on you. They know about your attempts to be the first to claim the trident from Nathaniel. Someone is coming after the students who have been chosen, Sam was one of them. We do not yet know the others"

"Yes, I'll do what I can. You must understand Millicent that as soon as you leave this ward you will not be able to talk to me or the professors about what has happened. It is too risky, I will do what I can from afar, understand?"

He not wanting to talk with us is weird, but so far everything has been pretty damn weird, so... yeah.

>>23476598
....Because he's clearly the villian after the Trident...

>>23476592
No idea.

>>23476625
Isn't he the headmaster? That really would be odd.

"Wouldn't it be wise to make up some reason so I can see you if I need to, and you know it's important and can't wait?"

Tooledge nods.

"Perhaps you're right. I'm sorry, this is all a bit confusing for me" he says "come speak to me whenever you please. But please be careful about it"

Tooledge smiles warmly and places a wrinkly hand on your shoulder.

"You're a good girl Millicent, why don't you get some sleep?"

>Okay, sir. We'll catch that crook, don't worry.
>(any other questions you have to ask him)

>>23476638
KHrm... Umbridge was Headmaster, your point?

>>23476655
She wasn't intentionally evil, though. Not that it makes her any better.

>>23476655
Yeah but Tooledge is this world's Dumbledore.

Immediate Objectives
__FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, FIND TARA AND ELISE

I think we should also try to find out more about Nathaniel. We have no clue what he's good at/fort.

>>23476641
"Sir - where's Tara and Fur Elise - my doll?"

"When can I leave the hospital wing and return to Ravenclaw?"

>I'm sorry, this is all a bit confusing for me
Good grief, he's going senile.

__Join the Quidditch team

>>23476747

He's a hufflepuff, the answer is always "nothing."

>>23476776
Sorry, not Nathaniel. The useless guy who's not Joel in our group.

>>23476713
_Start up the "Hogwarts Dueling Society"

Though we could save that for later, it ought to be added to the list.

"I just have a few questions, sir" you say. He nods slowly for you to continue, he stands wearily, ready to leave.

"Where is Elise and Tara?"
"Waiting for you in your dorm room, completely safe like you are"
"What will you do with the culprit?"
"Bad wizards are sent to Azkaban prison, there I suppose"
"When can I leave the hospital wing?"
"When you fall asleep and get some rest"

>Any other questions?
>Go to sleep

>>23476799
Nigel? I think of him as a Pettigrew of the group

>>23476799
Nigel? He's a bookworm. Also most likely gay for Sam.

>>23476820
Sorry, never read Harry Potter and I couldn't stomach more than the first 45 minutes of the movie.

>>23476817
"Are there any rules preventing me from using an enlarging spell on Tara and riding her around like a queer Las Vegas performer?"

Obviously without that last part.

>>23476799
Nigel. His name is Nigel. It rhymes with angel.

>>23476832
I hope this quest makes you reconsider then. The books are pretty damn awesome.

>>23476817
>Go to sleep
It's almost 4am. OP needs to sleep and so do I.

>>23476817
>sleep

>>23476817
Say good night to the Headmaster, think about the events of the day, miss having Fur Elise in your arms, fall asleep, exhausted.

>>23476817
>go to sleep.

>>23476866
I ain't stopping for a while yet.

>>23476866
Don't oversell them. They're not the greatest books, but they're enjoyable. The first one's probably the slowest and probably the hardest to get into.

>>23476883
>I ain't stopping
music to my ears

"Goodnight headmaster"
"Goodnight Millicent, sweet dreams"

You close your eyes as the headmaster slowly walks out of the ward as your eyes grow heavy. Sleep finds you almost instantly.

You wake up in your bed with Tara sitting on your chest. She's been licking your face for a while now.

It's still dark outside as you lay in bed dressed in your nightdress, the chill air tells you it's likely around four in the morning. You have a pounding headache and your nose hurts like hell. You're awake now, Olivia is asleep beside in her bed and so are the other Ravenclaw girls.

>Wake Olivia up and tell her what happened.
>try to go back to sleep
>other

>>23477012
>Wake Olivia up and tell her what happened.
She woke us when Sam, I think it's fair.

>>23477028
Agreed

>>23476907
>the first one
>slowest

Besides that 1st chapter, the first one moves pretty well, it's the 4th one that is a slow read more than a few times throughout the book.

>>23477012
>Wake Olivia up and tell her what happened.

>>23477012
Hug Tara, only to realise her breath stinks of fish and promptly shoo her off the bed. Grab Fur Elise for comfort, then drink a glass of water before spilling the beans to Olivia.

>>23477012
>other
Get up quietly, and check our nose in a mirror; if it's broken, then whoever did this to us will beg to die when we get our hands on them.

Hey, we can fail rolls to get extra fate points can't we?

Why are we not failing all the non-essential rolls (I'm reading through thread 15 so I'm thinking sneezing in potions class and running away from Maude ... failure there would've been amusing AND useful) so we can actually succeed when it matters?

>>23477012
>find Elise then wake olivia up

>>23477028
Wake her up!

>>23477107
Can we compel for fate points? Also, can we invoke on stuff as well?

You gently brush Tara aside and grab Elise as you slide quietly out of bed. You tip toe over to Olivia and nudge her on the shoulder. After a few moments she stirs awake, sits up and wipes the sleep from her eyes. A sudden look of shock crosses her features.

"MILLICENT!" she shouts at the top of her lungs, waking the other Ravenclaw girls.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!"

>What I don't understand? I've been here?
>In the hospital ward?
>other

>>23477134
"I've been in the hospital ward" you say quietly.

Keep it honest, but there's no need for the other girls to find out.

>>23477134
"No need to worry, I had a bad tumble and a short trip to the hospital ward.
I'm all right now."

No need to tell her anything else. Anyone is a suspect.

>>23477134
"I'm a ghost! I've woken you so you can help find my killer!"

>>23477134
>In the hospital ward?
"Shhh! Keep it down, Olivia."

>>23477134
We put our finger on our lips, grab her by the arm and take her someplace quiet where we can talk without being listened to by all the Ravenclaw in Hogwarts.

>>23477134
>shut the fuck up, bitch!

>>23477187
>>23477169

Something like this sounds about right after that ruckus she caused.

"Anyway, I just wanted to let you know I'm back. Did I miss anything while I was gone?"

But I'm alright with these as well >>23477217
>>23477219

"No need to worry, I had a bad tumble and a short trip to the hospital ward.
I'm all right now." You say

Olivia shakes her head.

"No. You haven't. The whole school has been looking for you. Look at yourself!"

One of the Ravenclaw girls turns on the lights.

You're covered in dirt and mud. How did you not notice it before?

>I don't understand.
>I haven't been missing!
>other

>>23477244
>I don't understand, I just went to sleep in the hospital ward, and then woke up here...

>>23477244
>I don't understand.
"I..I don't understand. I was just in the hospital ward and...
"Olivia, what day is it? Please tell me it's only Friday."

>>23477244
I sense a time skip... went to sleep in the ward and wake up a bunch of time later

we were never in the ward bro

>>23474830
>The Hogwarts hospital room fills your hazy vision in flashes of white until the ringing in your head subsides

Meant to link to >>23474941 but anyhow.

Something is definitely amiss.

"H-how long was I gone?"

"I..I don't understand. I was just in the hospital ward and...what day is it? Please tell me it's only Friday."

Olivia is more than startled as she gets out of bed and starts to get dressed.

"Millie, everyone has been looking for you. It's Friday, you didn't show up for any of your lessons after lunch and you've been gone all night. You didn't tell anyone where you've been. The professors have been searching the entire grounds for you!"

Seeing your confusion she starts to put her hands through her hair in panic.

>I'm really confused.
>other

>>23477316
Laughed heartily.

>>23477352
none of that actually happened. We got knocked out had a dream/ hallucination of the hospital and woke up in our bedroom still covered in mud from when we fell after getting knocked out.

>>23477374
Slump down on Olivia's bed, then
>I'm really confused.

>>23477374
>I'm really confused.

They might not have told people they'd found us, to keep quiet that (A) we had the poison and (B) we're now bait. Or waiters might be right about us never have been there.

>>23477374
"That's really strange."
> Maybe it's better to say no more, until we can find out, that are we still under the influence of something or not.

>>23477374
>other
Oh boy. We can either be brave and try to look for the headmaster or be coward and ask to sleep together with Olivia

>>23477374
>other
"I see. I think I should go to the hospital ward then, to get myself checked out."

>>23477374
>I'm really confused.

and a bit scared i would think

80% wtf 20% oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck

>>23477374
I say we grab her hands and try to calm her before asking the question
"Were Professors Trib and Avori looking for me as well?"

Be confused and >>23477461

You sit on your bed in confusion as you try to make sense of the situation. You weren't covered in mud in the ward so why are you now? Did something happen to you between falling asleep and waking up?

Olivia takes her wand out and presses it against her throat.

"I'VE FOUND MILLICENT FAUXLY. RAVENCLAW TOWER. QUICKLY"

Her voice booms throughout the castle. You jump up and grab her hands.

"Were Professors Trib and Avori looking for me as well?" you ask

Olivia is dumbfounded.

"Millicent. How can I explain this to you?! We thought you might be dead! Every teacher was looking for you. All of them."

>I don't think we should talk to the headmaster
>Leave the teachers out of this!
>other

Confused peeps?

>>23477566
>I don't think we should talk to the headmaster.
HE'S IN ON IT MAN! IT'S A CONSPIRACY!

>>23477581
Naaaah, it's clear that we're still in the Matrix and now they want to extract our secrets.

>>23477566
I think it's too late to leave anyone out of this. Let's brace for fallout.

>other
>Take the wand away from my throat, and we'll talk.
We must have done something seriously fucked up.

>>23477566
>I don't think we should talk to the headmaster.

>>23477619
It said her throat. I think she was doing the spell to make her voice loud.

>>23477619
wut ...

>Olivia takes her wand out and presses it against her throat.

It's against her throat not Millicents.

>>23477619
It's not pressed against our throat. She is pressing it against her throat and using the Sonorous Charm

>>23477566
>other

Grab a change of clothes and go take a bath, or somehow clean up. Try to make sense of events in our own head, probably fail, await for Professors.

"Did you have to wake up the entire school as well, Olivia?
"Though I appreciate the concern, I'm sure that waking everyone up at 4 in the morning will do nothing to endear me to the student body and faculty.
"I should get ready to talk with the teachers about this incident, then."

>>23477566
"What, you miss a few classes and people start trying to declare you things. I'm fine, it's just I'm not sure how I got covered in mud between the hospital wing and my bed."

>>23477619
Olivia has her wand against her own throat. Magic Megaphone, bro...

>>23477566

Wait silently for the teachers to show up and prepare ourselves for an interrogation.

I'm guessing this is part of Tooledge's plan to keep the attack on us secret. If that's the case we should feign amnesia.

HEARTSEED! I KNOW THIS IS YOUR DOING!

>>23477660
this.
Probably someone tried to finish the job or something but the professors helped us

>>23477687
Surely you mean the dream version of him, who is the shadow man?

>>23477687
Or tell a lie, or half-truth. You were chasing after Tara, exploring the castle, but fell and hurt yourself near the greenhouse.

>>23477687
Or that wasn't Tooledge and whoever it really was is trying to keep us from talking to the teachers about it. In which case, feigning amnesia is playing into their hands.

>>23477581
Hmm. The BBEG took us and made us hallucinate the whole ward scene so we would tell him all our plans and what we knew so far. With that in mind...

>>23477566
I think we should go talk to the headmaster and tell him everything. Now that we know that we were talking to the BBEG, and he specifically told us we could go talk to him about all of this because that way we wouldn't go talk to the real headmaster.

Makes sense? I really hope it does, guys.
