Young Again

The Ravenclaw's speech only helped to make Veronica even more excitable. She felt like her actions were justified and she crawled back over to Orwell and stood up handing him a bun, "Aim for the head." She told him before turning around and flagging down Kadi. "I NEED AMMO!"
​
 
Calming his cousin, the young professor shielded her from any more oncoming attacks of food, the back of his Gryffindor robes absolutely coated in the breakfast that the House Elves had spent so much time preparing. His attention turned away from the Slytherin girl only once another professor stormed into the hall. Oops. He held out his hand, taking Esme's in his while wondering if he could disillusion the two of them and sneak out. It wouldn't be too difficult with the Ravenclaw boy urging them to throw food at the professors. I wonder if we're going to get our asses fired for this. The animagus thought. It was harmless fun, after all, if somewhat chaotic. For the time being he spectated, watching from the corner of the room as events unfolded.
 
Watching Aeon protect Esme she grabbed her heart again like she did early to symbolize it was so cute it hurt her heart. Veronica the girl Kida and Aeon had met at the Great hall for the first time before the Food Fight happened asked for more Ammo, she kicked the bowl of Oranges by her foot towards her so she could use it. 'No Mercy Ae..rron' Kida quickly corrected herself, she doubted anyone could have heard her mistake over the noises happening. Quickly Kida jumped closer to Aeon, the Jam continued to rise at an Alarming rate.
 
Desideratus, seeing as the commotion was still going on, retreated to the other side of the hall, swimming awkwardly through the jam and using another plate to shield himself from food, before picking up some plates of food that had avoided being thrown thus far, and continued to fight from the other end of the hall, keeping a nice distance from the professor.
​
 
Jam was flying every where and James quickly surmised that he was out of his depth, he needed back up, lots and lots of back up. As he was about to leave two first years approached him pleading that they weren't throwing anything and that they tried to stop what was going on. James was reluctant to believe the two but he wasn't going to leave them to the jam when they clearly didn't want to be there. "Alright you two, we're getting out of here, stay close and follow me," He commanded and led them to the doors of the great hall and out to safety.
 
Reuben could have punched the air. It took every ounce of restraint he had to keep his arms hung innocently by his sides. Together, he and Rudolf hung their heads, trotting alongside the Professor as they left the hall. A trail of egg and oatmeal dripped from the tails of their robes as they walked. "Thanks, Sir," they said in unison, wiping their syrupy hands on each others' robes behind the Professor's back.
 
Orwell found himself smiling when people started targeting the professor, he liked that some girl was handing him a roll, she was on his side at least. Finally the professor seemed to be accepting that he couldn't win this, "THE STUDENTS UNITED WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED" he yelled him as the man seemed to be leaving, of course Orwell knew this wouldn't end it, he would come back with more, "He'll come back with back up I'm sure, be ready! Together we can win a victory for the students. No matter how small!" he was beginning to lose his voice with all the yelling, but then he decided now was as good a time as any to start a chant, "The students united will never be defeated! The students united will never be defeated!" He had missed a good old protest, this made him feel alive, he didn't care how much trouble he got into.
​
 
Desideratus stared at the Ravenclaw with confusion. Everything he was saying was going over the Gryffindor's head, and quite clearly he was nutts. He dipped his plate into the jam, and pulled it upwards near the Ravenclaw in order to shower him and anyone near him with jam to try and get him to stop yelling all over the place. "Zip it banshee!"
​
 
Veronica nodded at Kadi as some much needed ammo was kicked to her. Soon the Professor was leaving however, two students tagging along behind him. "DESERTERS!" She yelled, deciding there and then that she would shun them for all time. She looked at Orwell as he began chanting and went along with him, running to the doors and closing them. "THE STUDENTS UNITED WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED! STAND AGAINST THE OPPRESSION! DOWN WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT! FIGHT FOR FREEDOM!"
​
 
James was fuming as the two students were started to be led away by Professor Woodlock. Innocent, his a**. He wouldn't normally have questioned a professor, but desperate circumstances called for desperate action. So he called out after him, "Hey, Professor Woodlock. You better be taking those students right to Professor Davashire, because they totally need punishing. Remeber the backup too, and be quick about it. I'm not sure how long I can hold them." James was now on tiptoes, trying to stay above the jam. He once again cast Sonorus and raised his voice above the cacophony. "EVERYONE ON THE TABLES PEOPLE, NOBODY DROWN ON MY WATCH." Even though he had climbed onto a table himself, he realised that the jam was rising faster all the time. Once again, desperate times called for desperate measures. Wishing he didn't have to be the one to do this, risking the ire of the teachers to save the students, he raised his wand and started blasting out the windows with Diffindo, letting the jam drain down the walls of the castle into the grounds.
 
Rudolf gaped. Well that was just bad luck. Still, he wasn't going to drop the innocent act that quickly. "He must have seen us under the table and thought we were a part of it," gabbled Rudolf, hurrying after the Professor's trail. "But I swear, we didn't do anything." There didn't seem to be much point further explaining the situation. Quite frankly, there were more pressing matters for Professor Woodlock to attend to.
 
Not this clown again! Desideratus pouted at the prefect as he went about ruining everything once more. Scooping up some strawberries from the nearby table, he rushed at the Gryffindor prefect and pelted him with them, before quickly climbing another table to get away from him. He was already stuffed anyway.
​
 
"Oh, woah." Aeon whispered as the professor turned tail and the prefect blasted out the windows. He'd forgotten to keep track of the jam flow. Raising his wand, Aaron Sutherland ceased the jam's replication to stop is rising any further. He stepped forward, sludging through the mess of berry-flavoured goodness. "Mr Prefect, I think those doors are best kept closed." "Aaron" called out, more wanting to prevent the other professors from getting in before he could escape rather than letting the jam out. He looked at Kida, questioning how they were going to get out of this.
 
Now he was out of the great hall James had to address the two problem he had brought out with him. He rounded on the twins. "Right you two, I need to go and get the Headmistress so she can sort this out, I haven't forgotten about you two, I know you were involved, stand by for your detention and a whole lot of lost points for both your houses, good day children," James left the two first years and headed off to the Headmistress' office.
 
The Jam stopped rising and Kida lifted her feet to examine the Jam on the bottom of the School shoes 'Lovely' she said. Aeon gave her a look and she responded with the quick flash of her eyes changing colour.
 
Stand by for your detention? Yeah, right! The moment Professor Woodlock's back was turned, Reuben grabbed Rudolf's arm. "Come on!" he said hurriedly, tugging at the sticky material of his brother's robes. He winced a bit. They weren't new, but they certainly hadn't had much wear out of them yet, and already they were coated in maple syrup. Dad would not be best pleased about that. "Let's go, before Professor Kingsley shows up!"
 
Rudolf's heart fell. If it hadn't been for that stupid interfering prefect, they might have gotten away with it! Scowling, Rudolf turned to his twin. He hesitated. If they were going to get detentions and negative house points anyway... The dreaded thought of Professor Kingsley's appearance overtook, and Rudolf stopped resisting his twin's pull. "All right, go!" The two boys sprinted through the castle, up the staircase and into an abandoned classroom, where they hid for the remainder of that morning.

 
Carolina noticed that the Jam had stopped rising around her, it was sitting around her waist and she was holding her book up so it wasn't touching the Jam. Looking up from her book she saw a Professor and a prefect barking orders, she didn't want to move because any movement now would get her Book messy, Instead she continued to read, and sit waist deep in Jam under a Table whilst various food items floated past on the Jammy Sea.
 
Veronica didn't jump onto the tables like the others did. She stood by the door, ensuring no-one could leave whilst they were in here. She had the doors closed and was back up against them, she bent down and picked up a handful of jam, tossing it into the air and moving away from the door, she had to be ready for the professors.
​
 
Rhiannon was heading down to breakfast. she was happy to be back at the school for her final year. even before she reached the ground floor she heard the commotion. she entered the room and saw food was flying everywhere. what was going on today. she waved her wand and muttered a spell causing everything in the air to be frozen where it was for two seconds before falling to the floor.
 
The twins ran away. James smiled to himself, he hadn't been holding them until back up arrived, he didn't expect them to stay. They would get their detention, he knew where they were. They were all cooped up in a castle after all. There was no where to hide.
 
Soren had been late to the Great Hall to eat, having enjoyed the peace of his dorm while the other Hufflepuffs were gone. After finally feeling hungry enough to rouse himself from his bed, the boy made his way through the castle, stopping dead outside the doors leading into the hall itself. The floor was coated in a bright jelly and everyone inside had been smeared head to toe in food. Soren's eyes stopped once he caught sight of Des and he stared on in shock, not at all sure what to make of the situation, but glad he hadn't come down any earlier. His lips moved, miming a questioning What?, but before he could really figure anything out, the doors were closed and he was left standing alone.
​
 
James found himself left quite alone to defend against the unruly rabble that had ransacked the Great Hall. Until help arrived, it was him against everybody, and since food was still pelting his way, perhaps using his wand was best after all. All at once, the jam stopped rising, and he saw the last movements of Arron's hand for the spell. Suddenly, he realised that he was coming his way. No way was he taking any chances. "Expelliamus!" He hoped taking his wand off the kid would help calm things down.
 
Aeon hadn't had another wizard attempt to disarm him since he was a student, so the Prefect's spell came as a bit of a surprise. It made contact with his arm and he was forced to release the wand, just Esme dove to grab it before it sailed too far away. He stopped trudging through the sludge, raising both hands. "Okay, okay. I'm unarmed." He said, hoping he didn't try anything else.
 
James was rather surprised when his spell actually hit home on the boy. Although he'd casted the spell, he hadn't seriously expected it to it, especially after the boy's jam spell, which he'd never even seen or heard about before, let alone attempted. The kid had some powerful magic in him, that was certain. James realised though that a distraction was needed: something big enough to occupy all the food fighters and stop them fighting. The only idea that came to him was a duel. He was about to ask Rhiannon when he had another idea. Esme. Arron, or whatever his name was, clearly knew her, and dueling her might distract the ringleader enough that teachers could arrive. "Hey, Esme. I challenge you to a duel! Now!"
