It's not like they were looking for it exactly. They hadn't gone out of their way to stumble into this room but.. here was. In all of it's glory. An absolute treasure trove of things that had Ezra's eyes lighting up as he gestured behind him for Thalia to follow. The room was filled, floor to ceiling with shelves filled with - what he presumed to be - old confiscated items. Most had a layer of dust coating them. How had they never noticed this room before? They had done plenty of exploring, he thought. Clearly nowhere near enough.
"What do you think it all is?" he asked as he stepped inside, hand outstretched to run his fingers along the edge of the shelves. "Oh mate.." he exclaimed - mostly to himself - as his fingers caught a pair of jinxed shoes and they began dancing and shook loose a plume of dust around him, inadvertently causing a string of coughs as he tried to wave it away.

Spending time with Gryffindors had diminished Thalia's distaste for prank items. She could appreciate a well-charmed object, and most joke-related enchantments were surprisingly clever. Hence, she was elated as she realised what sort of fortune they had just uncovered. "This must be the caretaker's collection of confiscated goods," she offered a theory, her eyes eagerly scanning the shelves. "Maybe not even the current caretaker's - just look at all this dust!"
The place seemed to have been untouched for a long while. How did they even get in here? She remembered leaning against the wall, and then a part of it just slid open. "Can you remember how exactly we got in? I think I touched some brick or something, but I'm not sure. We might not be able to come back..." The second-year was tempted to put some of the items into her bag, just in case the place truly was lost once they exited it. Only, there was so much to choose from.

Once he was done coughing up a lung, he cleared his throat and nodded, "Oh it's definitely old." he agreed, some of the stuff looked older than his dads collection Hogwarts memorabilia so therefore, in his mind, all of this must have been ancient.
He turned then to eye the space he'd entered from and found nothing but a blank wall. Oh. "Uh, no and the wall is just.. empty now," he admitted sheepishly, "But there's worse places to be stuck, we could have so much fun Thalia, just look!" he said and waved his hand around them. "Imagine Blaise with dancing shoes!" he said, already laughing to himself at the idea.

The wall was... what? Thalia whirled around and stared at the exit - or lack thereof. Were they actually stuck? She quickly checked the floor for the skeletons of students who got trapped here before them. None were visible, so maybe their situation wasn't that dire. "Okay, sure, we can put a pin in the minor issue of having no exit," she agreed, her voice a little higher than usual.
She had to giggle when Ezra mentioned Blaise wearing the enchanted footwear. "Perhaps we can take the pair, and you could replace Blaise's shoes with them?" Of course, if that was to happen, it would probably take place in the Gryffindor common room - she wouldn't get to see it. Thalia felt that she was missing so many priceless interactions with her closest friends by not being in the same house as them.

Ezra shook his head, "It's is a minor issue until we want to leave." he said and the logic seemed sound at least to him, there was no use worrying about a way out until they had to.
"You brought your bag in, right? because we are stealing a pair of these shoes and we'll just have to figure out how to do it." he said because there was no way he was taking them all the way back to the common room for her to miss the fun. "What else do you think we can find?" he asked and turned to face the shelves.

Fair enough. If Thalia got stuck here alone, she would have already been searching for an exit. With Ezra to keep her company, there was no hurry - plus, it wasn't just her problem, which alleviated a whole lot of her worries. "My bag's right here. It has an extension charm, too, but it's not very good..." The remaining space wasn't much bigger than an average-sized trunk. Which might seem like a lot for a schoolchild's bookbag, but they were currently in a huge treasure room. Some hard choices might need to be made.
"So we're definitely taking the shoes," she stated, putting her bag on the floor and flipping it open for Ezra. Thalia walked over to the nearest shelf, scanning the items that were haphazardly stacked in it. "Is that an Ever-Bashing Boomerang? I think those were banned a while ago..." She picked up the smoothly angled piece of wood and brushed a layer of dust off of it. "That could be fun, if thrown in the right place and at the right time..."

Thalia and her bag had saved his day - granted her bag wouldn't get them through the disappearing door but now they at least had a place to keep their borrowed items in. Though, he wasn't looking forward to having to choose between them all.
"Oh definitely the shoes." he said and then turned to eye the item in her hand, "I'm sure we'd find a time to use it - I reckon that goes in the bag too." he nodded and then reached out to grab a flute and tip it back and forth to shake off the dust, "Huh," he mumbled and then held it up, "I'm not putting my mouth on this to see what it does."

She glanced back to Ezra to see what item he was referring to. The flute looked innocent enough, but it had to be here for a reason - some sort of enchantment must have been placed on it. "Yeah, better not - you might end up only making flute melodies when you try to speak."
She placed the boomerang into her bag and went over to a different shelf. "Oh, a wand!" Reaching up, she took the thin piece of wood and gave it a swish. It squeaked and transformed with a poof of smoke; Thalia found herself holding a rubber mouse by its tail.

"Or worse, It'll burst our ear drums." he said, his nose wrinkling as he set it back down where he got it from. He'd never really been musically inclined anyway.
His thoughts were broken by squeaking though and he blinked at the rubber mouse in her hand before grinning, "Okay, I have to learn how to do that." he said, "Imagine the chaos in charms class if we let a bunch of those wands loose!"

She could easily imagine the mayhem caused by everyone's wands turning into rubber mice. For a few moments, she was able to giggle at the image in her mind - before she remembered that the Charms professor was especially fearsome and fond of strict order. Worse yet, she was the Head of Slytherin, too - and not at all merciful to students from her own house. "Channing would be livid... we might get detention for the rest of the term." Still, she searched the shelf for more of the trick wands and found five of them - enough to prank a few friends.

Detention for the rest of term didn't sound appealing at all and yet.. it would have been worth it. Maybe. He turned then to the shelves at the far wall to begin looking over them, searching for anything else that might fit into her bag. "Huh," he said and pointed to a rather fluffy looking ball. "What do you think that is?"
Post by THALIA BURKE on Jun 18, 2024 14:58:08 GMT -5
"Maybe a giant furball?" she tried to guess dubiously. "My cat sometimes coughs up those." It didn't look quite as disgusting as the stuff Le Fay would occasionally retch up, though. "We could poke it with something and see if it does anything interesting." Thalia was already looking for something that could be used as a stick, before realising she had five trick wands in her hand. She offered one to Ezra. "Since you found the furball, you can be the one to test it," she suggested generously.

"Oh yeah, throw me to the angry fluffball!" he said but took the trick wand anyway and took a step closer, holding his breath as he poked it sharply with the end of the wand. For a moment, nothing at all happened. He was about to give Thalia a smug look had even turned his head to do so before the thing started snarling and snapping teeth at him. "Oh merlins b-" he choked as he hid behind her. "What is it?!"
