Detention(Avery, Holden and Jackson)

[Professor Carina Erikson]

Checking her watch, Carina impatiently leaned against the wall when she saw it was only ten till seven. This day seemed as though it would never end. She had given three students detention and now she had to make them serve it. Thankfully her rounds had ended at six, so she had time to change clothes.

Leaning against the wall at the top of the stairs that led to the dungeons, Carina was dressed simply in a t-shirt and jeans. Not the most professional in the world, but she really didn't care at this point. She was tired. She had decided earlier that since the three were so quick to waste ingredients, she would take them down to the dungeons so they could see what she had to do to collect some of them.

Her wand was strapped to her thigh, being held in place by a holster. Waiting beside her were four lanterns and four plain glass jars with lids. She had already placed charms on them so that whatever was put in them would be able to breath. The lanterns were for light of course, since the place she was taking them was deep in the dungeons and one had to be careful of what magic was used down there. Glancing at her watch again, Carina sighed. They had five minutes left to arrive.

[Holden J. Caulfield]

Holden walked into the Dungeons. Did he like detention? H-cheah! It was a good reason to be in detention. Blowing up a cauldron was so worth detention any day. Hopefully Holden wouldn't have to serve it alone. It began getting colder as he walked.

His gray eyes spotted their Potions master, Carina Erikson. Holden walked to her and said, "Hello Professor." He put his hands into his pockets and looked to the lanterns and the jars. Hopefully whatever they had to collet wasn't gushy or dragon liver. Yuk.

Holden's wand was in his back pocket. I hope this turns out okay. He looked back to Miss Erikson. "What are we going to be looking for and collecting Professor?"[/size][/font]

[heartsout]

Detention. Odd, Jackson was actually happy about it. Yayy. Besides, blowing up that cauldron was worth it, even though he was sure he wouldn't do it again. Ever, again. He was glad that Erikson hadn't freaked out on them, that would have been bad. Plus, no house points were taken; Slytherin sucked this time around, the only house not in the hundreds. -.-

He made his way down to the dungeons, wondering what they'd be doing exactly, even so he had his wanded tucked safely in his pocket. Squinting slightly, he saw Erikson and Holden at the entrance to the dungeons, and there were jars and lanterns. Eep. The boy wasn't the biggest of the dark.

"Evening, Professor," he said joining the two, wondering where Avery was, also wrinkling his nose up at Holden. Heh.

[Avery Moretti]

Detention. Avery was so excited. She'd never had detention before! She wondered what they'd do. Hopefully it wasn't something extremely disgusting or something. Seven o'clock. That was the time of their doom! She'd been told to meet in the Dungeons, a place she hardly ever went because it was damp and cold and dark and all together scary. Yet, she made her way there anyways, hoping she wouldn't be late, but she didn't have a watch, so who knows.

As it got colder, she shivered a bit. Stupid dungeons. It also got darker, so when she saw glowing up ahead, she hurried that way. There was Professor Erikson, Holden, and Jackson. Smiling at the two boys, she would've leaned forward to kiss each of them, but thought against doing that since Professor Erikson was standing right there. "Hello," she said to them all, looking at the jars and lanterns.

Making a confused face, she wondered what on earth they were doing with jars and lanterns. Oh gosh. Did this mean they were going deep down into the darkest depths of the dungeons? [So many d's.] That was terrifying. Hopefully whatever they were about to do wasn't as bad as she thought it would be.

[Professor Carina Erikson]

Waiting until the others two arrived, Carina did not answer Holden's question. It didn't take long, however, for them to arrive. Giving the three a slightly evil grin, Carina bent down and began to fumble with the lanterns. "I've decided that since you three seemed so intent on wasting my ingredients, you can help me gather them."

It took a moment, but finally all four lanterns were lit. She gave a small gesture for them to each take one. "Grab a lantern and a jar. We might as well get started since we have a bit of a walk ahead of us." Taking her lantern and a jar, Carina walked down the stairs and deeper into the dungeons, sure the students were following her.

The professor hadn't been kidding when she had said that it was a bit of a walk. Thirty minutes of walking, weaving through the corridors to one of the darkest parts of the dungeons, she finally stopped. "Well, boys and girl. Here were are. First and foremost, no magic from any of you. This part of the dungeons are still seeped with dark magic from the war. You have to be very careful of what you cast."

"Now, as for what you will be collecting. Spiders. My stock is low so I need some. All you have to do it collect them and place them in the jars." Walking over to the corner, Carina raised her lantern as high as she could to reveal hundreds of them crawling along the walls.

Taking four small round disks out of her pocket, Carina laid them on the ground. Pulling her wand from the holster, Carina waved it over the disks watching as each doubled in size. Taking her foot to push them towards the wall, Carina grinned in the lantern light. "Now, if you would each step up on one of these, I'll raise you up so you can reach them."

[Avery Moretti]

Avery looked at Carina, frowning a bit as she grinned at evilly. If a Professor did that, she was of course worried about what there was planned. Maybe she was gonna get them lost and then run away so that they'd be lost and die of starvation inside. I don't think that'd happen though, since that was probably quite illegal.

Biting her lip, she listened to Carina. They were going to gather ingredients. Well, that wasn't so bad. Maybe there were some mushrooms or something down there they could pick. Easy peasy. Taking a lantern, she held it out in front of her, trying to see in the darkness. She also took a jar and gave a side glance to Jackson and Holden, still a bit worried about what they were doing but excited at the same time.

They'd been walking for a long time, and Avery wondered where in the world they'd gone to. It was kinda creepy down here in the dark, damp dungeons. Cold, too. Shivering a little, she felt odd in the quietness. It was awkward. Just the sounds of their footsteps echoing off the walls. Finally, they stopped and she nodded her head. No magic. 'Kay.

Suddenly, the excitement part of her died. They were to be collecting spiders?! Oh Gawd. She hated spiders. So did Jackson. Her mouth fell open, horrified. She did not want to touch them. She almost screamed when Carina raised her lantern to show spiders all over the walls. Getting to the furthest middle part of the corridor, she clinged onto Jackson.

Sighing, she stepped onto a disk thingy and waited. Oh God. This was the most terrible thing to do. Ever. Never would she blow up the potions classroom ever again.

[heartsout]

Smiling as Avery gave him a kiss on the cheek, Jackson turned his attention to Erikson, his eyes wide and innocent. he really didn't like that grin she gave them, it made him think of very bad things. Maybe she was going to be leading them to their doom, they'd all three suffer untimely deaths. No, she wouldn't do that, it's against the rules! [:

Grabbing a lantern and a jar, he glanced down the steps into the dungeons, and odd sort of sideways expression on his face. What would they be collecting? Something not too scary, he hoped. But, he highly doubted it; it's detention. Shaking his head a little he followed Erikson down into the darkness, casting a glance at Avery and Holden. Gradually it got darker and colder the longer they went, and he began to wonder when they would stop, and how far down they were.

Once they stopped, Jackson looked around in the dark, failing to make out anything specific. As she told them what they were to be collecting, his eyes grew to the size of dinner plates and his mouth formed into a hard line as he bit down on the inside. Spiders? Oh God. His heart sped up in his chest as he raised his lantern scanning over the walls. He could have fainted right on the spot; he did not like spiders in the slightest. With shaky breathing he stepped onto the platform thing, afraid that he actually might loose conciseness.
