Be Prepared

[Min-Ji Song]

After a particularly long Transfiguration lesson, Min-Ji was ready to head to lunch, but not before visiting the facilities. He was absolutely busting. It wasn't often he got caught out like that, since he was a well brought up young man who went before meals and during break times, but sometimes nature called at unexpected moments. Still, everything was in order- that was until he failed to immediately spot the loo. There were bathrooms on every floor, but the Australian boy couldn't find a sign anywhere. Min was near hopping by the time he'd rounded the bend, and desperately opened the first door he found.
Luck was supposedly with him that day, because behind that very door was the toilet he was seeking, however he quickly realised that there was a very good reason it wasn't clearly marked. If he'd stopped for more than a second, he would have seen the small piece of scribbled parchment in the place of the sign. Someone had nicked off with it and stuck the words 'Do Not Use - Ghost Hangout!' in its place. He'd missed the warning, though, and for that he was unpleasantly surprised.

This toilet was creepy. Even in his body's state of emergency, Min registered that fact and filed it away under 'Avoid at all costs in future'. His uncomfortable hop turned into a slow waddle as he hesitantly perused the creaking cubicles to find a toilet that didn't look like it was about to eat him. There was one, right down the end, of course, and he hoped to God he was in the boy's lav as he shut the door behind him. Despite the dripping pipes and cracked mirrors, the look he was using was beautifully clean. Suspicious, in hindsight, but a small miracle to a boy with a desperate need. Thus relieve, Min-Ji stood to flush, but upon pulling the chain (a chain? Really?), something made an odd sound.

Shlorp. Glip-glip-glip, bluuuuurgle, brghrghrghrghrgh-SLOP!

"WAAAAAAAARGH!"

Vex had been here. Definitely Vex. Who else had the time to rig up the toilet chain to the bottom of the cistern (above the head, in this case- this was a very old loo) and fill it with ketchup? Of course, the third year Ravenclaw had no idea with what he was now covered in, and burst out of the cubicle. He couldn't see, he was covered in red ... something, and the only thing he had going for him was that he couldn't pee himself in fear and shock. Min-Ji had never thought of himself as much of a screamer, but if there was ever a time to yell, it was now.
"Gwwwaarrrgh, gerroff-! Get it off! Get it offffffff!"​

 

[Ysabel Becerra-Alvarado]

Ysabel was glad to have a free period that she got a few minutes of serenity at the Gryffindor common room and was just sitting there, reading a textbook to get an advantage if ever she got called upon in class. But that got boring all of a sudden and thought visiting her twin brother at the Hufflepuff common room would be a great idea, they are in the same year and would possibly have the same schedule of free time. Ditching her book, she got up from the couch and head down to the fourth floor where the Hufflepuff's area would be. It was funny though for her that her twin would be a badger; the color doesn't suit him but the traits was on point.

As Ysabel journey down to the fifth floor, it was fairly isolated and that was odd. The Spanish girl didn't want to scare herself, it was daylight outside for the love of god. She wasn't a scared cat as well but with ghost floating around and her not used to it, she would definitely run as fast as she could. Ysabel, ignoring the creepy feeling, she passed a door that has a sign on it, warning not to use it because ghost hang in there. Ysabel shook her head slightly but what she heard next made her hairs at the back of her neck stood up. Someone screaming from just behind the door that has the sign. She stopped dead in her track and walked backward to the spot she just passed.

Her instinct wasn't on ghosts or scary stuff anymore, trained to defend themselves, Ysabel knows how to fight. The first year Gryffindor burst inside the room or rather a restroom and found a boy dose in somewhat icky, lumpy and liquidy stuff. She bit her lip to stop giggling at the sight of the boy, she couldn't tell if he was older than her but the icky stuff were seems fine and not dangerous at all. "Sir! calm down!" Ysabel tried to tell the boy and took a step nearer. She wanted to at least help him get those red slimy stuff off him but the boy needs to calm down.

[Christopher Elms]

Christopher was halfway back to the Ravenclaw Tower when his favourite thing in the whole wide world happened, the staircase moved. He rolled his eyes, grabbing ahold of the bannister as it moved then ascended the remaining steps two at a time. Despite having a reasonably good intuition that he was now going the wrong way, he continued down the unexplored corridor.

It was one little detour and the first year wondered what he would find. As he walked down the corridor, Chris pulled a chocolate frog from his pocket and tore it from the wrapper, which he discarded in his sted. He widened his mouth, ready to bite the head off the struggling edible creature when a yell came from somewhere down the corridor. The first year dropped the chocolate frog which leaped to safety behind a suit of armour, and removed his wand. He didn't know any magic yet, but knew his wand would protect him if it had to.

He identified the noise having come from a lavatory which he (rather dramatically) kicked open the door to which the sole of his shoe. He stepped inside and set his eyes upon two students, one of which was covered in blood?! The other telling him to calm down. How could one be calm with such obviously fatal injuries. Christopher immediately panicked, certain the boy was gravely injured. "Aaargh! What happened to him? We need to get him to the Hospital Wing! He's dying! I've never seen so much blood!" Rambled Chris in a panic, he was moments from running for help.

 

[Lyra Potter]

Lyra Potter was curious when she heard screams coming from the lavatory she was passing. She noticed the sign on the door but rolled her green eyes. She wasn't going to let something so trivial keep her away from all the fun. The Gryffindor girl walked into the room and noticed one girl and two boys already there. One boy was covered in some sort of red stuff and screaming while the other boy was clearly in panic mode saying something about hospitals and blood. The girl was calm and not bothered.

Lyra quickly assessed that she was the oldest one in the room. "Oh hush. Both of you. It's not blood." she said in a bossy tone. "What happened?" she asked.
