Wandering [Staff]

[Horace Slughorn]

My feet hit the stone cold floor of the Dungeon as I finally reached the bottom of the staircase that was slightly warm from the torches which horded the stone wall's. I looked up, and the corridor in front of me was black. Th trochees had not been lit for a while now since it was not used that often. Only for pupils who decided to adventure through the castle.

I drew my wand, grasping it hard and with a flick the trochees lit. The flames lighting the corridor up. Oh what a mess. It seemed my past thought of the pupils only coming here for adventures around Hogwarts was wrong - litter of every kind could be seen as I walked up the corridor. I gave my wand another flick and the litter vanished from sight.

I let my feet carry me through the corridor as I looked at the various portraits. My nightrobe of black swayed behind me as I thought of how I used to spend so many nights in the castle. However it had all changed when myself and Anya moved into 12 Grimmuald Place. This was one of the only nights were we decided to stay at the castle. Both of us had an early start tomorrow and we felt bad for leaving Hermione on her own - as we both were key staff members. I let a wind rush by me without thought and heard some movement behind me.

[Professor Cole A. Halliwell]

Wind Elementalism was something that Cole Aleksandar Halliwell had inherited from his sister after quite an experiment back when they were in their second year's term change. He hadn't practiced his control over the elementalism in a long time, resulting in intermittent bursts of magical energy every now and again, causing gusts of wind to sweep through classrooms or, disruptingly, bedrooms. He needed to excersise control, and the Dungeons were probably the best place.

Thus, clad in long plum-coloured robes, the Professor of Transfiguration was excersising control, creating a small tornado that was no larger than waist-height, and no wider than, say, a one-foot ruler. He spun it around the dungeons a few times, refining his control over time and being able to move it with more accuracy eventually, when Horace came into the dungeons. Realising that it would probably alarm the Head of House if he didn't, Cole stopped the tornado, allowing it to settle, and approached Horace, lighting the tip of his wand with a 'lumos maxima', and spoke up.

"Horace! Long time, no see, friend. Strange to see you hear at night-time, what brings you to the Dungeons?"[/font]

[den]

Rather late Dennis was patrolling the halls of Hogwarts. After visiting many floors he headed for the Dungeons. Wearing his Hogwarts robes he quickly walked down the stairs hearing some voices in the corridor. Strange for this night. He pulled out his wand. Bingo.. He was positive it was a students. "Lumos." He whispered. Walking to the corridor seeing the Professors.

He put down his wand not to blind them. "Professor Slughorn Sir, Professor Halliwell." He said. "What brings you too folks to the dungeons at this hour?" He asked them.

He thought they would be at sleep by now. It was rather late taking a look at his watch.

[Horace Slughorn]

My eye's squint a little at the light. Rather blurry vision, maybe I should get that checked out?. I looked at the tall stature that was Cole, Professor of Transfigurations. I watched as the small wind they he had been controlling vanished. "Very nice work Cole, I had no idea you were an elemental?" I said, then watched as someone came from my back. "Good evening Dennis" I said and stood to my fullest. "I was just having a look around the place, it is not that often I get to do it with myself and Anya moving from the castle"

I took out my own wand, keeping it by my side as soon I would be off again around the castle, and needed a light. "We decided to spend the night since we both have a meeting first thing in the morning with Hermione to discuss some issues" I said, and slipped my wand into my robe pocket, no need to leave just now. "And what brings you both around the castle this late at night?"
