15/09/2025, Hogwarts Library

Elisa felt a mixture of bewilderment, incredulity, and sheer fury rising from inside her chest. How dare someone set two live bludgers free in a library? A library was supposed to be a sacred place, where readers could delve into fictional realms and explore knowledge otherwise far beyond their reach. A library was supposed to be quiet and serene, somewhere people could go to forget the reality of the world to sink into the comforting company of books. Every library was at least that, not to mention this library. Hogwarts' library was home to ancient volumes, pages withholding centuries of knowledge within them. They were the ties to the past and the present, linking the two with frail, yellow strings, binding the fragile pages of parchment togeth-

Crash.

Elisa's head jerked up, almost falling from her seat from surprise. Her eyes widening and her mouth falling wide open as a shelf of books began tumbling down in a mess of torn parchment and splintered covers. Suddenly spells were everywhere. To her absolute horror, she recognised from her numerous duelling practices the fire-making spell, and out of the corner of her eyes she caught a swish of red hair... She could've sworn the girl was laughing, but what Elisa felt was far from that.

She was almost imagining all those precious volumes burning into smoulders of ash and was rummaging, panic-stricken, for her wand when she noticed the spell hadn't hit after all. What happened after that, however, was not so lucky.

Out of nowhere, the redhead began dancing weirdly, her face contorted between bursts of laughter and agony. A petrificus totalus was cast, striking a bookshelf and causing, to Elisa's absolute terror, more precious books to collapse in an unceremonious heap to the floor. Meanwhile, it seemed that the creator of all this chaos, a little first year with a mane of bushy blond hair, was much delighted by the situation - and she was whizzing around on a broomstick. As though everything couldn't get worse, a poor girl on her way out was hit by one of the bludgers...

Elisa's mind was a whirlwind of panic. Without thinking, she waved her wand in the air, wishing all those dummy-hitting sessions in the duelling room had paid off, she muttered a hurried "Bullarum Immortalem" on the first bludger she saw. The third year wished that she had done the right thing - she had seen what the full-body binding curse had done to the bookshelves - she would not be risking that.

So hectic was this mess that had become the library that Elisa hadn't even noticed the ink that had spilled all over her parchment, dripping in quiet drops on her newly washed robes.

Action: casting the Bubble-Producing Spell at one of the bludgers.

Oonagh understood quite quickly that this whole ordeal would quickly draw attention, so she felt well within her right to enjoy the drama while it was able to last. Drama that she had accidentally caused, but would definitely consider repeating intentionally in the future. Maybe she should release it in a classroom or the headliner office next time!

That one girl, red hair and a wild attitude @Novalie Moon was just straight up crazy, which was right up Oonagh's alley and she appreciated not being the only interesting person in the library at the moment. However she also seemed way too reliant on her magical stick to get things done, which to Oonagh also equated to a different kind of boring. Why not get in there and deal out a couple of punches?

However the girl seemed to have had a different idea entirely, targeting the unsuspecting guy the redhead had dubbed "short king".

Reducio

Novalie casts Engorgio on Harvey's head
-2 accuracy due to specified target area
Wisdom DC: 10
Wisdom Check: [13] + 8 = 21
Accuracy: [5] + 6 - 2 - 1 = 8
Evasion: [12] + 6 = 18
8 < 18 = Miss

The "short king" however, would not allow her to take such measures, happy with the size of his head and now seeking to avenge his honor in an attempt to take down the girl who had dared to cast such a spell his way, when the real issue, the bludgers, were still wreaking havoc almost unbothered!

So of course the boy felt justified to retaliate!

Reducio

Harvey casts the Knockback Jinx on Novalie
Wisdom DC: 9

Auto Miss: [1], no
Accuracy: [3] + 6 = 9
Evasion: [3] +10 - 2 = 11
9 < 11 = Miss

So much for revenge, maybe the boy @Harvey Barrows ought to work on his aim some more. Missing her way kind of embarrassing thought Oonagh, considering that the girl was quite stationary due to the embarrassing dance she was dancing.

The other girl @Livia Machavariani decided to threaten the redheaded girl and then once more targeted the Bludger, which, fair enough. "That ol' spell again? Thir the only spell ye know o'?" She threw at the girl, but watched as the effect took place.

Reducio

Livia attempts to cast Full Body Bind at the Bludger

Oonagh snickered, when the wand of the girl sent some sparks that quickly died, like a very sad firework that did not get to go off. "An' tha' is why Ah wad rather punch things," she gloated.

One bludger (B) had a better idea and went after Livia, avenging its friend who had been the target of the girl.
Acc: [d10] + 9 = 19
Eva: [15] + 10 = 25

However the girl was apparently able to jump out of the bludgers way. "Yer fast!" Oonagh congratulated the girl on avoiding an issue the girl was only in because of Oonagh. Maybe Oonagh herself should get involved as well!

The other bludger (A) however would not be safe from becoming a target either, as a different girl was drawn to the mayhem.

Reducio

Elisa tries to cast Bubble Producing Charm at Bludger A
Wisdom DC: 9
Wisdom Check: [2] + 9 = 11
Auto Miss: [5], no
Accuracy: [14] + 10 = 24
24 > ?? = Hit
Effect: Pretty Bubbles?

And joining the mayhem she did, by producing a bunch of soapy bubbles that filled up the room. Oonagh would assume that if the bludger had any eyes then that it would be very upset right now, however it just continued on its destructive path, crashing into an older boy seeking cover behind a book shelf.

15/09/2025, Hogwarts Library

It was only when the dark blue ink had soaked all the way through her robes to stain Elisa's pale skin with small bluish puddles when she noticed it. First alarmed at the wet feeling in her lap and then upon realising it was spilled ink, exasperated, Elisa quickly rightened the inkwell. In all this mayhem she had forgotten to close the lid of the little glass bottle, and had probably managed to knock it over without realising. Disgusted at the stain that was spreading, conspicuous even against the black of her robes, Elisa momentarily forgot about the bludgers - until a big translucid bubble floated into her vision field.

Recognising it from the spell she had cast herself, she looked up and to her dismay, saw that the cloud bubbles were not affecting the bludgers at all. She had learnt that when cast in duels, the bubbles could affect the target's mobility... perhaps bludgers were built with an anti-cheat system to prevent quidditch players from casting spells on them?

Shaking her head slowly in disbelief, Elisa found herself subconsciously squeezing the drenched ink from her robes, except - a groan escaped her mouth. Her hands were now covered in a layer of dark blue ink. She quickly wiped it off on a spare sheet of parchment, but a blue stain remained at her palm.

Somewhere close, a bludger knocked into a shelf and books came tumbling down once again. The library was a mess. Elisa's first instinct was to cast periculum and seek help from adults - heavens sake where was the Librarian - but figured it might as well set the whole place on fire.

Emerging from behind her desk, she resulted to fix whatever damage she could. A 'reparo' was muttered with her wand pointed at the broken shelf, before bending down to retrieve a few scattered books to stack carefully on a desk. How did Quidditch players manage bludgers? In any case, Elisa was convinced to never ever try Quidditch in her whole entire life. She did not ever want to have to cope with those stiff black balls again.

Action: casting Reparo on one of the broken shelves. Picking up books from the floor.

@Livia Machavariani | @Oonagh Brown | @Novalie Moon | @Elisa Wagner

A crackle of arcane energy would fly past Harvey as he stepped aside just in the nick of time. His eyes would widen as the realization dawned on him. For the first time in his young life another person had aimed a spell at him with ill intent and it lit a fire in his belly that would not soon extinguish. The words from Livia only bolstered his confidence. This was what their magical training was all about. Harness your talents, perfect your magic, define your allies and carve out your place in the world. The wild redhead might not actually mean him harm, but she would firmly earn her place on Harvey's shit list!

The boy would have to thank Livia later for her support, but for now there were multiple threats that needed to be dealt with. Harvey took aim and fired! It would turn out that his redheaded nemesis was quite agile, even while busting a move. He gritted his teeth in frustration as his spell miss point blank. Hopefully Livia didn't see his blunder! Harvey did his best to remain focused as more spells and bludgers continued to wreak havoc on the library and he vowed to turn his attention to the flying blonde as she began to berate Livia. But first things first! "You're no friend of mine!" Harvey said as he attempted to back away from the girl now cartwheeling towards him. "I said, go away!!" He aimed his wand once more determined to land the spell. "Flipendo!"

Abilities: Extra Income | Gobbledegook | Perfectionist
Trunk: here

first off: apologies for the late mod

Novalie seemed to still be unaware of the memo, that there were literal bludgers causing mayhem within the library. Or better even, simply did not care about the destruction, furthermore wishing to be contributor to the chaos going on around her. A sentiment that Oonagh could not help but respect, as the girl decided to focus on a petty duel with Harvey instead. She too began speaking in a language that the blonde could not understand, but hers at least reasonably sounded like a language she had heard walking down the streets before or in clips of movies.

Reducio

Novalie Moon attempts to cast Take Root on Harvey Barrows.
WDC: 10 - 5 = 5
Check: [d20:10] + 8 = 18, success

Accuracy: [d20:19] + 6 - 1 = 24
Evasion: [d20:6] + 6 = 12
24 > 6 → HIT

DC: Novalie's ARC [6] + 5 = 11
Effect:
Harvey is rooted, to break free he must succeed a STR check, DC 11
unable to cast spells

The weirdest, strangest feeling overcame Harvey as the muscles in his arms and legs trembled and seized up. The movement in his limbs lessening as they were transformed into bark with roots and tendrils forming and reaching toward the ground. [rolled for destruction: 18]. Said roots bore themselves down into the wooden floorboards, prying apart the ground of the library as Harvey took root, as his limbs felt encased by tree, becoming one with the roots that scattered pages and pierced through leather bound books that had fallen to the ground. The librarian would certainly be pissed.

Leave it to Elisa to attempt to counter the symptoms rather than the root (hehe) of the issue. She set out with the aim to fix some of what was broken and-

Elisa Wagner attempts to cast Repairing Charm on a broken book shelf.
WDC: 8
Check: [d2o:1] + 9 = 10, crit fail

Damage: 20 + 10 * 8 = 100

- caused the wall of books to collapse and crash down, as the supporting beams of the book shelf were struck with her failed spell, sending splinters flying and clouds of dust to stir up and blast into her air, coating her uniform with a thick layer of dust that had been building up for what seemed like centuries.

Before Harvey fully froze up and had his limbs, engulfed by the roots, he managed to attempt one last spell, that he would wish to send hurling at Novalie in self-righteous revenge.

Reducio

Harvey casts the Knockback Jinx at Novalie.
WDC: 9
Check: [d20:20] + 7 = 27, crit success

Auto-Miss: [d10:4], fail Livia's TP
Accuracy: [d20:8] + 6 = 14
Evasion: [d20:9] + 10 - 2 = 17
14 < 17 → MISS

Tatsu Chose: spell dissipates

Though his attempt at revenge had high potential, with the roots overtaking his limbs and Novalie simply being a tad more nimble than Harvey appeared to be precise, she easily avoided getting into harms way, ducking out of the spell's way as it burst into fractions of light, leaving no harm in its wake.

'Have you got nothing useful to say?' The words stood out to Oonagh as Livia rolled her eyes at the cackling menace. 'Go ahead, punch the bludger. Don't start crying when your knuckles are bruised, broken and bloody.'

Oonagh shook her head, more laughter bubbling from her as she reveled in the chaos. "Daena whit ye mean, but Ah am not dainty like ye, Ah can throw a punch withoot having ma knuckles brakken!" The blonde responded haughtily, not letting the other girls words get to her in the slightest.

Reducio

Livia casts Smokescreen Spell to defuse the situation.
WDC: 8
Check: [d20:11] + 7 = 18, success
Affects: Livia, Oonagh, Harvey, Bludger A

Duration: [d6:4], 2 rounds
Effect:
-4 Accuracy for [2] rounds.

Thanks to Livia a thick smoke spread out across the library's affected area, leaving many of its student with limited sight and causing confusion to even one of the bludgers. Oonagh took her last moments of proper sight on the bludgers to whack her beater's bat against it, hoping that perhaps the thing could be defeated in that way as she launched it into a heap of books to trap it.

Reducio

Oonagh uses her bat to attack Bludger B

Auto-Miss: [d10:4], fail
Accuracy: [d20:7] + 10 + 3 + 4 = 24
24 > ?? → HIT

Damage: (10 * 50) * 0.9 = 450
Effect: Stunned [1] - halves the DC for hits, halves its ACC

The bludger, hit, slammed into the stack off books that immediately toppled down, over and across it. Effectively burrowing the ball of metal beneath their weight. "Bullseye!"

The Bludgers would not float by idly either, despite the students lack of engagement, an attack of theirs imminent.

Reducio

Bludger A
Target: Oogie
Accuracy: [d20:6] + 9 = 15
Evasion: [d20:18] + 10 = 28
15 < 28 → MISS

Bludger B
Target: Oogie
Accuracy: [d20:14] + 9 = 23
Evasion: [d20:2] + 10 = 12
23 > 12 → HIT
Damage: 65 HP

Perhaps Oonagh should not have mocked the bludger so, because it and its friend seemed very intent on making her suffer for it as they both launched themselves at her. The one she had just hit herself, actually slammed into her, making her give a startled yelp as she brought herself back into a safe distance from the bludger. However, to Livia's likely displeasure the Scot did not start crying.

Next Round Action: Mocking Livia

@Livia Machavariani | @Oonagh Brown | @Novalie Moon | @Elisa Wagner

Harvey's eyes fell to his wand. What on earth was happening? The boy had practiced the knock back jinx hundreds of times. Sure, some had failed at first, but then he had mastered it. The careful pronunciation in unison with the wand movement. He was certainly concentrating as he wanted nothing more than to blast this girl into the abyss never to be see again. Yet the magic fizzled out just as soon as it was conjured. Perhaps something to say about real world application and yada yada, but this was damn ridiculous!

The boy wouldn't have another moment to contemplate his failures as Novalie's magic hit him square in the chest. Now, Harvey had been on the receiving end of spells before when practicing in class. It was always an odd sensation when the arcane energy spread through your body, but the sensation that took him now was unlike anything he had ever experienced before. "What's happening?!" Harvey shouted as his limbs began to grow stiff. Try as he might there was nothing he could do to move them. When he looked down his eye would pop with horror as his flesh began to transform to bark. "Oh no!" The boy's newfound root appendages began to tear and break away the floor below him, but he was truly helpless to do anything about it.

Logic would find its rightful place in the panicking boy's mind. Besides the unforgivables all magic could be healed or reversed. Harvey would survive this and that reality darkened his gaze as he looked to Novalie with a venomous look. "I was trying to hit you, weirdo! Now look what you've done to me!" His shouting would be interrupted by another exploding bookshelf and then the room began to fill with smoke. What a chaotic turn of events this all turned out to be. Then the girl went on again about making him bigger and dancing and whatever other lunacy came tumbling out her mouth. Wait! Make him bigger?

Harvey's eyes looked to her wand in horror! "NOOO!!"
