Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ryn walked up looking through the grounds for Lucy, Moshe still helping her. Looking around she spotted Grog eating things off the ground, approaching him she crouch down and scratched under his beak, "Hey Grog" She greeted the little guy, she looked up at Yuan," You look exhausted" She said with a smile. Rising she took a seat next to him, "This Moshe, Moshe this is Yuan" she introduced them.

Giving him a friendly smile, "We are just looking for Lucy, Tyler needs to talk to her." She let out a small sigh hoping he was doing okay. "I'm doing well, though it seems like you have been hiding under a rock, I haven't seen much of you. Are you sure you are okay?" She said Pulling a bag out of her skirt pocket. Opening it she pulled out a few dried berry's. "Here Grog try these." She said tossing a few to him.

"Lucy? I haven't seen her, sorry." Yuan appologized. Rubbing the back of his head he chuckled a little nervously. "Sorry, I've had alot going on latly sorry. Been up late studing with Xenos so I haven't been sleeping. Thanks for asking though." He answered as Grog perked up. The cat sized creature jumped and the berries never touched the ground. The frogbat would eat just about everything. Croaking happily he came over pawing lightly at Ryn's leg. "It's good to see you again Moshe. How have your classes been, you two?"

Moshe shrugged. "Classes are alright. I do not think I will ever the hang of Transfiguration though." Not that I really want to, Moshe thought darkly. Most classes he was doing okay in, nothing anyone could really complain about to say the least.

Moshe held back a snort at the mention of Divination. The art of telling the future, his grandparents had mentioned to him over the summer. Of all the things in magic that sound the most like nonsense. "Sounds interesting." He lied rather icily. Human trying to understand to future. If that was truly possible every Jew in the world would know when the third temple would be built because of the prophecies of Jeremiah.

((There was another person who had prophecies but I can not remember his name))

"You're not into Divination are you Moshe?" Yuan asked looking at the younger boy. It was easy to tell that the other either didn't like the subject or didn't believe in it. "Grog? Sure, that shouldn't be a problem. Would you like me to come with it or would you prefer to temporarily kiddnap him?" He asked turning back to Ryn. Grog would love the attention he just knew he would.

Ryn shrugged, "I'd be fine with either, How about Grog picks." she added looking at the little creature, "What about it Grog, do you want him to bring you or do you want to spend some alone time with me?" She added with a smile

((Hello MW and DW, I took a couple of liberties here. I was thinking that in class Charlotte would have slipped Nott a note saying that she decoded the markings on the front of the chest. I didn't know if you wanted to make up what they said or if you wanted me to, MW. Either way is fine with me as long as it has the incantation to open the passageway. Sorry that I sort of went ahead with this but we are running out of time. I'm thinking after they both smack Nott for thinking that they wouldn't go with him (figuratively please- Nott asks) and they head out from here, the next post after that will be at Fenniwicks, their first posts catching us up on the trip. We have like a week to get this all done, I don't want to run into next year. lol I know, my fault for waiting too long. But I think we can do it. Reeeeaaady Break!))

Nott walked into the courtyard looking more agitated then every. Charlotte had slipped in a note that gave him the gist of what she had found. He had told her to bring all of the notes she had and meet him after class in the courtyard. Levera was there too of course. She had become part of this. He still couldn't shake the feeling that she might want to shank him, but he liked her none the less. She had a funny sort of sense of humor, though he didn't know if she knew about it.

But walking into the courtyard, he saw the two girls waiting for him already. Wasting no time, he dropped his bag down next to the fountain and sat next to Charlotte. Taking pages of parchment as she handed them to him with her sketches and notes. He nodded along and listened carefully. She had said that she thought she had decoded the markings. That they were ancient runes and spoke of a way to open the chest in a different way with an incantation. She translated to the best of her ability, which meant it was perfect.

Nott kept nodding lightly after she stopped talking. More to his own thoughts. Turning back to them he frowned slightly. He didn't know what they were going to say to this, but he owed them the truth. This had all been well and good when it was time in the library, or even taking a tunnel to Hogsmeade that they had never exited, save to poke their heads out. This was leaving the tunnel, sneaking through Hogsmeade, breaking into his uncle's shop and confronting a giant piece of furniture that might eat you. Granted, he was sure now that it was more serious than that, but it helped to think of it that way.

"Listen, I can't thank you two enough for helping me with this. I know that it isn't your burden or whatever, and I do appreciate your support. Never once did you call me crazy for thinking that all of this was connected. But, I had a visitor today. Cherry came up to the school. I had sent her a letter asking her to leave the estate, go to town and try to find my father and check on Fenniwick. She said that Fenniwick's shop is dark and quiet but the front door is unlocked and my father is nowhere to be found. It's been over a week now." He looked back and forth to each of them. "I'm going tonight. And if I get caught I swear I won't say anything about you two helping me at all. I'll take all the blame. I just," his face clouded. "I just have to see what is happening. I can't just sit by if my father is in trouble. Or Fenniwick."

His eyes turned to Charlotte and lingered. There was alot that he wanted to say, but she didn't want to hear it. So he said it in his own mind. His eyes looking over her and then they quickly broke contact and flicked to Levera. "If I'm not back by morning, go to Yaslana and tell him where to find me. You don't have to say that you were involved. Just tell him I've been talking about it and you are sure that is where I went and that it was about the chest. I've mentioned it to him before. He will know what to do. Or that female Auror that is here now. Either of them."

He looked down again at Charlotte's notes. He was sure they were correct and would work beautifully. But he only worried because the history was that people disappeared around the chest but never once had he heard about a person coming back out. He hoped to change that tonight.
