League of Minerva (Closed Group RP)

[Kip]

Weatherby had spent the better part of several weeks preparing. He'd secured the storage room, deep behind the trophy rooms and other unused parts of the castle, placing muffling charms and other spells of protection upon it. He'd arranged the old, damaged pottery and crates, long-emptied of their magical ingredients and solutions, now functioning as targets and dummies. He'd gathered everything he needed - except for his comrades. They'd each received a secretive message, tucked away in their robes or in their books, written in ways that he knew they'd understand. Now, all there was left to do was wait.

[Pinkerton]

Lio got his message on his breakfast, inside of his pudding. How it had gotten there?, He didn't know, but it specified both the time and place of the meeting.
He was relieved; He hadn't heard of Weatherby or Cecil for a while

After walking, at a slow pace and watching where he stepped, he arrived to an old storage room.

Hey, is anyone in here?

[Kip]

The door swung open sharply, and Lio found a wand pointed squarely at his forehead.

"Good. It's you."

Weatherby glanced both ways down the hall, before pulling the first year into the storage room sharply by the collar.

[Pinkerton]

Lio was caught by surprise,

Woah,

He adjusted his collar back,

Has anyone else arrived?

[Kip]

"Have to take precautions," said Weatherby, noting Lio's reaction. "Staff wouldn't take too kindly to what we're doing down here. You're the first, yes. Glad to got my message. Pretty clever, putting it in your breakfast, wasn't it?"

[Xion]

Ashley walks up to the door and knocks on it seven times, before withdrawing from it a bit and adjusting her hood so it remains on.

[Pinkerton]

Yeah, almost chocked tough,

Lio took a walk around the storage, and inspected the place

Are we going to use the crates as targets?

[Kip]

"That's the speed of it. Sorry about the collar," Weatherby said, before being interrupted by the knocks.

Weatherby opened the door gently with a pleased smile. "You remembered your code," he said in greeting to Ashley. He glanced down the hallways. "Where's Violeta? I built a pyre out of smashed crate tinder, special for her."

[Xion]

Ashley laughs. "My fire and divination obessed cousin will be along, I saw her..three hours ago muttering about going to sit in front of a fireplace to practice Xylomancy and will be along shortly, provided Royalty or any other serpents don't disrupt her. Or she gets distracted by something else."

[Kip]

"That sounds like the Violeta we know and love. Come on in, I was just showing Lio around," he said, taking her hand and leading her inside. "Lio's one of our new inductees. Lio, this is Ashley, one of the original Minervans."

[Pinkerton]

Pleased to meet you Ashley

[Xion]

"Nice to meet you,Lio. Also Weatherby, where's Waverly?"

[Kip]

"She's studying in the common room with some second-year boy. Can you believe that? Waverly choosing some boy over me?" he said with a harrumph. "She said she'd come down later, but she'll probably stick with her dumb Romeo instead."

[Xion]

"No, I really can't." Ashley says with a little bit of sarcasm. "I think you're being overprotective..but if this boy causes her problems, I say we slip a little U-no-poo into his food to send him a message."

[Pinkerton]

Sorry, but who's Waverly?

[Dirty Chai]

OOC: I think I was inducted into this, yes? If not just have a mod delete it.

Twynmold found his induction message in Eurydice's coop, the small piece of paper laying under her perch.
He first wondered how anyone had gotten away with coming that close to her territory without taking a few nips and cuts.

It took him some time to find the place specified in the note.
He knocked on the door quietly and hesitantly.

[Kip]

"Waverly is my sister. She's a second year, and another one of our founding members."

Weatherby escorted Ralph into the room with the same caution he'd shown before, tugging the boy by the sleeve inside the room and swinging the door shut behind him. "Have a look around, Twynmold. We'll get started soon. We're just waiting on Cecil now."

[Xion]

Ashley looks ast the small pyre of wood to the side of the room before the door flies open, apparently after a successful Alohamora spell. "You really should enchant this door to ensure that can't work in the future..." Violeta walks in, and walks over to Ashley, and begins observing the small pyre. She looks slightly paler than usual and a bit tired from watching the fireplace.

[Kip]

OOC: It was implied with all those protective spells

IC:

"Glad you showed, Violeta. How about we kill two birds with one stone to start things off? You need a fire, and our new recruits need to see some practical magic in use. Care to demonstrate Incendio for them?"

OOC : Eh, say they have to be reapplied. :p

Violeta nods and stands up next to the small pile of tinder, smiling evilly. "Gladly." She slips her wand out of the right sleeve of her cloak and aims it at the pile of tinder. "Incendio!"
