An argument erupts between Cal and Rubes about the worth of a slug in Knockturn Alley. Hermoine decides to step in before things get nasty, but instead is blasted by twin Reducto Curses by Rubes and Cal, and is flown into the comfy armchair. The chair tilts, then falls towards the fireplace. MagPie hurries to Hermoine's side to help her up, but sinks slightly into the floor where the armchair usually sits. Everybody looks confused at this suppossed lack of stone floor in the Gryffindor Common Room. What is hiding under the Gryffindor Commons?

*glares at Rubes* Are you happy now? *taps her foot on the soft spot of the floor, still glaring at Rubes* Well, maybe Dumbledore is hiding something and he doesn't want us to know? *moves the armchair from the fireplace* *looks intrigued* Why don't we just...you know...push you through or something Rubes and you can tell us?

"I'll only go if I get paid! In fact, just to be extra generous, I'll exchange my currency for yours I have 5 slugs here....1 slug = 10 Galleons, so I'll just take 50 Galleons thanks "
*Holds out the slugs, but slips them back into his pocket at Cal's dirty stare*
"Worth a try You're too smart for me Okay, okay. We have to move the rug off the floor first. Maybe when we can see where the hole is, everything will be better"
*Searches for the edge of the rug along the wall*

*rolls her eyes at the slugs and snorts* I don't see how you can have those things in your pocket. I hope they get slime all over your clothes. *mumbles something about who would want slugs anyway* Have you found the end yet? *begins to look along the wall as well for a corner to pull up* We might have to move some other furniture.

"You mean we might have to move some of the cabinets? Eeek. We'll have to be quick, before any of the teachers notice that we are re-arranging our common room "
*Walks over to the stairs and tries to slide his hands underneath the rug*
"Maybe we can follow the outline from here?"

Do you think the teachers would really care? *thinks on this but follows the outline of the rug* Aha! Stopped! *can't move as a bookcase is in the way*

"Well, if Dumbledore is hiding something, the teacher's might care "
*Clomps over to the book case*
"Hmm. It's too heavy to move like it is now. Should we hide the books we move, or just stack them around the room, anywhere? Oh, The BFG. That's where I left it "

"BFG is the Big Friendly Giant. Roald Dahl book. Very nice "
*Stands on a table to get the higher books*
"Let's make sure we don't put them on another secret entrance "

For all we know the whole commons could be a secret entrance. *takes the books off the lower shelf and hits her head on the table* Owww *rubs her head* Did you have to put that table right there? Honestly. *looks up to see a slug crawling out of Rubes' pocket* Watch your slug.

"Ahh! My currency! Get back in my pocket!''
*Pushes the sugs back into his pocket, to be released later.*
"You gals. We could use a hand with moving this carpet. You got a minute?"

Well you knocked poor Hermoine right across the room, no wonder she's not over here, she probably has a concussion or something! *looks at the slugs with disgust*

"Ahem. We knocked her out But you're right. I'll go get a damp cloth before we proceed with the book moving"
*Hurries off to the bathroom to dampen a cloth and fill a glass of water. Comes back out to place the cloth on Hermoine's forehead, and tries to coax her awake*

*puts a few books down in a corner and goes over to Hermoine* Maybe we should take her to the clinic or something... We might have done some damage or something...bet she's going to have a headache when she wakes up...

OOC: So let me get this straight, only Magpie has disappeared. Thought I had disappeared too.
BIC: *opens her eyes very slowly and shuts them again. Then she opens them again and gives a moan.* Owww....My head, I think I hit it with something. *sees Cal and Rubes. Tries to get up in a stright position but Cal makes her rest her head* What happened? One minute you were starting World War III, the next I see a flash of red light, and I guess I hit my head.
*looks around* Where is Mag?
