It was past 10 o'clock. Alex wasn't supposed to be out of his dormitory at this time, but his curious mind took over him. He couldn't resist the temptation to explore the secrets of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. And he was too bored with studies as well. He knew roaming like this during this hour could even cause him detention, but he decided to risk it once. He wore his robes and quietly moved through the corridors with the excitement of a 5-year-old.
The wall of the corridor had engravings which Alex didn't understand but was fasniated from. He kept roaming around until he stumbled into the trophy room. It was filled with House Cups won by different houses over the years and the Quidditch Cups won by different houses. Alex started looking around, fascinated by all the trophies and cups and the names of students who had given special contributions to the school. Seeing this, Alex felt that there was still a long way to go and learn to come between these names. Alex always had a dream of becoming the seeker of his house.
Suddenly, he heard something. Alex froze, standing still. He pulled out his wand, knowing he didn't know any spell, but still had to act brave. He slowly pointed the wand forward and said in a soft, trembling voice, "Who is there??" Alex got no response. He thought that it might be a Professor or a prefect, and he prepared himself for the worst. Maybe he was going to get detention or even worse, expelled. He was imagining himself packing his bags and leaving Hogwarts in his first year itself and returning home using the Hogwarts Express. Alex snapped back to reality and said again, but this time in a stronger voice," Who is there?? Tell me!!" Alex stepped closer to see a figure that was around his height. Alex felt a relief wash over him.

"Whoops." Rosalyn said, accidentally wandering into what, based on the faintly recognizable golden cups, seemed to be the Trophy Room. She was most definitely not supposed to be out this late, but she had gotten redirected by the moving staircases. She was just trying to get to her Common Room, and then this happened. She was pretty sure that there was a way to get to the Dungeons from there, but she just had to get through the Trophy Room.
"Come on, clumsiness, don't activate now!" she said quietly to herself, hoping that she wouldn't trip and fall over something fancy and priceless and get detention already.
'Clang!'
Oh no. She had accidentally knocked over something, oh no. That's not good. She couldn't see what exactly it was, with it being so dark, but she did pick it up, feel for any dents or scratches. She found none, and she set it back up exactly where she assumed it was, relying mostly on her sense of touch.
"Who is there??" she heard, a scared sounding voice calling out in her direction.
"Who is there?? Tell me!!" the voice said again, sounding a bit stronger.
She was about to get caught. Oh, no, she was about to get caught by a Prefect or something and she was going to have detention or maybe be expelled even just because the staircase moved and she couldn't get to her classroom. This is what she gets for trying to go to bed!
"Hello? I swear I'm not up to anything bad, just trying to get back to my Common Room!" she whisper-yelled back, replying to the voice that she had heard, hoping that whoever was there would understand.
"Hello?" she called out in the whisper-yell again, hoping that the person the voice belonged to hadn't been snatched by any monsters or other evil creatures. She was far too tired to save anyone that night, that late.
'Maybe I'm just hearing voices.' she thought, because that was the only reasonable explanation she had left.
'This is how it ends. At ten at night, in the Trophy Room, hearing voices and getting abducted by a monster. Of course it is.' she thought to herself, terrified but trying not to panic.

@Alex Thompson, I have replied! Green is for what she says, blue is for what she thinks, and purple is for what she hears!

Prefect badge pinned neatly on her outfit, Sage began the long task of patrolling the halls for troublemakers or students seemingly “lost” on their way to their common room. Three months into a twisting maze of a school? Hey, she got it.
Making her way towards the common room, wand on her person just in case, she flinched at a sudden noise. She’d been doing this for over a year, why did she still flinch at every unexpected noise in the dark?
Squinting into the darkness, a voice of a boy, younger by the sound of it, broke through. Sage held her hands out to the side like she was walking a trapeze and trying not to plummet all the way down.
And then another voice! This time, a girl’s. Geez, two people forgetting the importance of sleep at the same time? She sighed, shaking her head. Finally, her eyes adjusted to the dimly lit halls and she made out the shape of two figures.
“Hey! Both of you over here. Now.” she shouted to them, not joking around. She waited for a moment before continuing. “I don’t know what you think exempts you from the rules, but it is past your curfew. Names, both of you. You’ll be serving a detention with me.”You have been caught! You have been owled the details of your detention and I posting the thread here shortly. After the detention is posted, you will not be able to join new threads until it is completed. This detention is IC, you the player are not in trouble. You will find your detention here
