Let's See What Boredom Leads To

[Addison Bell]

Addison and Rose had wandered into a classroom, and by the looks of it, it hadn't been used in a while. Desk were scattered here and there, old empty ink bottles, parchment, and quills decorating them. It didn't look like anyone was around, or like they had been for a while, so Addison walked in.

Scooting some broken glass of a desk, she sat down and turned to Rose. "Well this is something, not a secret passageway, but it's something different."

The room smelled of mold, Addison wondered what class this used to be, and why it wasn't used anymore. Curiosity took over her, she leapt of the desk and walked over to a shelf. Some books were left over, Addison read outloud, "History of Hogwarts, Potions, Defence Against the Dark Arts."

"I wonder who used to teach in here." She picked up the old potions book and dusted off the cover, making herself cough, sitting back on the desk, she tried prying open the pages, the dust in them was unbearable.

[Rosemarie Willington]

Rose wondered around as well.
"I wonder who used to teach in here." She picked up what looked like a potions book, it didn't look like the ones they used today.
If there anything good in that book tell me. She told her picking up a couple of pieces of parchment. Some looked like notes to other students in the class, some were love notes and some were just notes to friend she started making piles on an empty desk.
Then in the corner of the room she picked up a piece of parchment that was burned in the corners. It looked like another love note, but then some of the words seemed to pop out at her and it turned into a secret meeting, it had no names...
Hey Addison come and look at this note I found
The meet was what looked like at a place behind the Castle. They were going to talk about something important, but that was also not said in the note. She handed the note to Addison and started looking through the other note, maybe she could find more like them. She didn't know why she was into this note people made secret meeting all the time but she was.

[Addison Bell]

Addison smiled, Rose loved potions, flipping through the book she just saw the same old things. Love potions, coughing potions, healing potions, ect. The book was old though, Addison didn't recognize the cover, it wasn't the same one Rose had taken out in the common room the other night. So this was an old classroom, but that much Addison had guessed on her own.

"Hey Addison come and look at this note I found."

Addison looked up from the dusty potions book, to see Rose had wandered off to some corner and was holding a piece of parchment with a curious look on her face. Addison got up and walked over to her.

Peeking over Rose's shoulder she realized the note had been burned, but as though someone stopped it. Addison began reading, it was talking about a secret meeting somewhere behind the castle. Things like that happened all the time, "It's probably just some love letter, two people meeting for a good time."

Addison started walking away, but Rose kept searching for more, might as well leave her to it, Addison was sure Rose would tell her if she found anything interesting.

She walked over to a piece of parchment and sat down to read it, as she had thought it was a love letter, two kids had been scribbling back and forth, talking about how much fun they had the day before, Addison chuckled, things hadn't seemed to change much.

[Rosemarie Willington]

Probably. I wish it would tell us though, my mind wonders a lot. I just wanna see if one of them slips up in another note. A name or what might go on at these meeting... It was true her imagination can go wild some times, make something small out of some big. She did find a couple of other notes but they were much like the first but in different places in the castle.
Sigh. Nothing good. I'll just collect the ones like these and read them later, maybe something will pop up. She started going through an old desk and the back of the from see if there was anything good in there. She had gotten bore with the love letters, but wasn't about to give up on them. Any hand writing that looked like the ones from the other notes or were burnt she stuff in here bag with the others.
In the desk there was a bunch of teachers notes and stuff the teacher had taken away from other students. There were some things in there that looked like stuff she used for pranking, but it was so old on of it would be good anymore.
I think kids from the past weren't much different from kids today. There's tons of stuff that looked good for pranking material at one point...Just not anymore Rose laughed at the thought.

[Addison Bell]

Addison walked around, picking up notes and half written assignments. The weird thing was, it wasn't just one class that had been in here, there were assingments from all sorts of classes.

Addison found a report titled, "Accio: What Can You Summon?" and a piece of parchment that had instructions for how to create the Hair Raising Potion.

"You know what Rose? I think this classroom has been empty for a long time, and i mean a really long time. It seems like all kinds of people came in here to work."

Addison turned to look at Rose, who was still busy searching through notes, Addison didn't even think Rose heard her. She was extremely concentrated, pausing here and stuffing a note in her bag, pausing there and putting one aside.

"I think kids from the past weren't much different from kids today. There's tons of stuff that looked good for pranking material at one point...Just not anymore ."

Pranking, of course, Rose loved to talk about pranking. "Yeah, i have to agree with you, if this stuff is as old as it looks, then not much has changed."

[Rosemarie Willington]

There was all kinds of stuff in the desk, some of it fell apart in your hand it was so old.
"Yeah, i have to agree with you, if this stuff is as old as it looks, then not much has changed." Addison said. Rose looked up from her dusty pile of essays.
Well then this would be a good hide out. You know just in case one of us wants to be alone or we need to talk in private. No one comes in here. As we both can see no ones been in here in forever. Rose liked making things more useful, it helped remind her that even though she's the black sheep in her family and they may she her as useless, but that didn't mean she had to be useless.

[Addison Bell]

Addison looked up at Rose, "That is a great idea. How about we clean this place up a bit? It'd be a good spot to hang out and such. And if things work out with you and uh-hum, you could always come in here!"

Addison laughed, this would be a great place to just hang out at. At least if they could get it to look nice, all it really needed was a bit of sweeping, to be picked up here and there, re-arranged furniture, and all the old notes to be thrown out. Good thing Rose had knocked her over earlier, or then they wouldn't have even known about this place.

Addison picked up the potions book she had left lying around earlier, dusting it off she set it back on the shelf, and fixed the rest of the books. Walking over to a desk, she passed her hand over it, the dust went flying everywhere. "I think this is going to be a tougher job than i thought." Addison dug into the pocket of her robes and pulled out her wand, "Accio broom!"

Out of a near by closet came zooming out a broom, Addison caught it swiftly with her unoccupied hand and started sweeping the floor.

She turned her head to see what Rose was doing, "I know you have only one capable hang, but do you think you could pick up the notes lying around? We could probably finish up fairly quickly, too bad i never listened enough to learn those cleaning spells from my mom."

[Rosemarie Willington]

"That is a great idea. How about we clean this place up a bit? It'd be a good spot to hang out and such. And if things work out with you and uh-hum, you could always come in here!" She blushed at the last comment.
Yes we could.This would be a great place to hang out. I am glad we found it. She laughed with Addison. She watched as Addison summoned a broom.
"I know you have only one capable hang, but do you think you could pick up the notes lying around? We could probably finish up fairly quickly, too bad i never listened enough to learn those cleaning spells from my mom." Rose laughed.
"I never listened to my mother either." Rose smiled at her before going around picking up all the pieces of parchment and tossing it in the garbage. It quickly. She never listened to any of her family, if her family could be avoid she would.
So what's your family like? She asked just trying to start conversation. She hated it when it got to quiet. The only time she like the quiet was when she was reading or sleeping. She had to many bad experiences when it got to quiet.

[Addison Bell]

Addison smiled, "My family is....special." Addison rolled her eyes, she summoned a dust pan and picked up the dirt, "You see my mom's side of the family, they're all muggles, my mom is the only witch, then my dad's side, they're all pure-bloods. So when we get together for Christmas, it tends to be rather weird, one grandma gives me records, the other one gives me a book on spells. One grandpa wants to watch TV, the other wants to talk about the ministry. It's always fun, but kinda stressful. My dad is great, my mom is too, she's just a special case, kinda overprotective, I'm surprise she let me come here."

Addison stopped her ranting and looked at Rose, "But what about yours?"

She started pushing some desk to a corner and dusted them off.

[Rosemarie Willington]

That sounds nice. Rose's like hearing Addison talk about her family. But I can see how it can get stressful.
But what about yours? Addison asked. Oh boy, she didn't mind telling people about her family it just she got shocking looks sometimes and that made her feel weird.
"Well my family is Pure blood all the way through. Quiet annoying actually. There not well known though. I have to younger sister, That are twins and two older twin brothers... My mother and sister don't have a brain what-so-ever and all the males in my family think that work should be the best hobby in the world... Though I quiet enjoy it when grandparents come over, that way its easier to go hide in my room. Sorry my family isn't the funniest to talk about...Though I wish I could talk about them in a positive way. I am the only Gryffindor in the family the rest, so far, were all of course Slytherin, they probably think I ruined the 'good' family name." She wished she had a more loving family. They were all about image, they only loved her in public. They had to take to the train for the first time, but they probably went to work and the shoe store as soon as the train was out of sight.
My friends mom is quiet nice though. She loves cooking and she's the type that can make anyone feel better. My friend couldn't come to Hogwarts this year though, her father got ill and she's an only child so she stayed home to help out her mother and father...She'll probably end home school. Rose only really had one close friend from home the other were more like people she hung around to get away from home.
I would probably live at Cat's house if I could...Oh Cat is the friend I am talking about. I call her that because when i first met her. Her nose had a bruise and she reminded me of a cat. She laughed at the memory. She picked up more parchment and tossed in the trash. When she was finished picking up all the parchment, she started sorting the class books and put them on the according to the class

[Addison Bell]

Addison cleaned the desk as Rose talked, now she felt bad, she had been complaining about her family, but Rose had no one who she related to in hers. Addison wondered what that would be like, the only Gryffindor out of an entire pack of Slytherins, she couldn't imagine it, but she didn't think it would matter much, her mom had been a Hufflepuff and her dad a Ravenclaw, how she ended up in Gryffindor was a mystery to even herself.

"Don't apologize about your family, it's fine. Alot of people find image to be the only important thing, but think about it, you're the only Gryffindor, it must mean you're the only cool one." Addison smiled at Rose, she didn't really know what to say, she felt bad that she hadn't grown up with a loving family, but at least now she didn't have to be with them.

Addison could relate to Rose's friend situation, she also only had one close friend back at home, a muggle girl, but once Addison got her acceptance to Hogwarts, they stopped talking, how was she to explain why she was going off to a boarding school, and a private one at that. "I know how the whole friend thing feels, it's kinda nice being here, i've met alot of nicer people."

She finished with the desks, so she started moving them back into rows. Once she was done, she walked to the front of the room and started cleaning out the ex-Profesor's desk, tossing old parchment and ink bottles aside.

[Rosemarie Willington]

"Don't apologize about your family, it's fine. Alot of people find image to be the only important thing, but think about it, you're the only Gryffindor, it must mean you're the only cool one." Rose laughed at her comment.
Yeah I guess your right. I'll have to remember that when its time to go back. She shivered at the thought. She finished putting up th last of the books.
"I know how the whole friend thing feels, it's kinda nice being here, i've met alot of nicer people." Rose looked at Addison's face she could tell she was truly happy here.
Well I haven't encountered a Slytherin yet but with all my practice at home they shouldn't be to difficult. But everyone I've met has been great. I feel like its the right place to...For once. Rose felt like she was truly connecting with someone, like a best friend. She went around the edge of the classroom picking up and little trash, like broke test tube from Potions and then wiped off the counter with an old rage she found.
So once were done cleaning up, what decorations do you want to start with? Rose had tons of idea's but it depended on where they wanted to start and she should start sharing them. She couldn't wait to see their finished project.

[Addison Bell]

Addison looked up at Rose, and gave her a tiny smile, "Well, for Christmas break you technically don't have to go back. Just when classes end. Which won't be too long before they start up again." Addison hope that got her hopes up, maybe her mom would let Rose stay in the empty room they had, it was just for storage, and if not, her room wasn't that small, Addison was thinking of ways to convince her mom when she heard Rose ask her a question.

Pulling herself out of her thoughts, she looked up, "Decorations? Oh! Right, sorry." Addison laughed and hit her head. She shouldn't let her mind wander so much, Rose would think she was ignoring her. Addison finished cleaning out the Professor's desk and walked over to Rose, "We need to find a way to get stuff in here, we can't just "Accio" something in here, a flying couch would draw some attention. I also don't know where we would get anything. I mean, some nicer chairs would be good, these desks aren't too comfy, and a little Gryffindor style to brighten it up."

Addison smiled, she could see the whole place coming together, this was awesome!

[Rosemarie Willington]

Very true I don't think they'll miss me if I don't come back. They probably just send presents. They don't want to look bad
One good thing about coming from a pure blood family like mine is that we are rich.... And I do believe I saw a shrinking potion in my book, though I haven't tried it out yet. So we might want to prefect that before buying anything big. She pulled out the potions book and flipped through the pages.
Here we are. Yup I was right, shrinking potion it doesn't look too hard. But while I am working on it lets just gather small stuff like cushions for the chairs and maybe candles or flowers for the room. She wasn't sure how long the potion will take her and she didn't want to have to quit because she hadn't finished her potion. She through the potion one more time before putting the book away

[Addison Bell]

Addison smiled, Rose was smart! "Shrinking potion! Smart! I hadn't thought of that! I can write my mom a letter, maybe she'll send some stuff from home!"

Addison thought about her room back home. She had some posters, she did have candles, a lot of candles, and cushions, well she could sew those up.
