I didn't do it PV group Finished

And as a seventh person entered the room, Rose's gaze snapped up to her, taking her in- a pretty girl with glasses and a cheerful smile that didn't reach her eyes. Most people wouldn't notice, but Rose's eyes were just too observant, just too keen, for her to not automatically note that in her head. She knew everyone had some kind of problem in their life they were dealing with, whether it was with their family, their friends, or themself, Rose had accepted that at that point. Rose's objective was to not be another one or to add to that problem. Though not her greatest fear, one of her worst fears was to be the villian in someone else's story.
"Hi," Rose gave a little wave, though not as enthusiastic as hers. She felt really bad at not knowing her name... They had some classes together, so why didn't she know her name?! Ivy was her last name, Miss Ivy, some teachers called her.
What was her name?!
When she asked how they all were, Rose replied vaguely, "Fine, you?" She really didn't expect her to answer honestly, nobody really did, but it was nice of her to at least act like she cared.
Then Rose realized.
This felt all so convenient- seven students, all here for different reasons. Seven cauldrons. She felt a rising sense of dread, that stretched the tension inside her.
It was all so convenient... too convenient.
Oh. no. Why were they all here? And why did it feel like something horrible was going to happen? Rose shook the feeling away. Just because there were seven students and seven cauldrons didn't mean anything. Seven was just a number, after all. Little did Rose know, soon she would be saying, "I knew it!" and not for a good reason.
Rose shifted in unease, though she tried to push the strange thoughts out of her mind. "Have you any idea where Professor Ostrowski is?" Rose asked the newest member of the party. "We've all been..." Rose's gaze flicked to Alina, and then, with a warm smile, she corrected herself. "Well, most of us have been looking for him."

One moment there was 3 other students and the next there was 7. It seemed as if everyone was at a loss to where the professor was. She had greeted everyone with either a small "hello" or a nod of the head acknowledging them. Akari looked closer at everyone, but didn't really recognise any of their faces. The boy who was there when she had first walked in introduced himself as Henry. Ok... one name down, 5 more to go She noted to herself. A few of the others had spoken to each other using names but Akari did not pick them up since she was slightly distracted by the whole situation. She hadn't said much to any one, not because she was shy, but because she was in deep thought. Her brain was flooded with all sorts of questions. She was still trying to figure out where her notes were and then this whole strange encounter... it was a lot.

Then to her surprise one of the students remembered her name which shook her out of her thoughts. Akari stared at them for a moment not being able to recall where she had seen them before. Finally after a few awkward seconds of staring she put two and two together and realised that they had briefly seen each other at a birthday party during summer camp, but she couldn't think of their name for the life of her. "Yes, my name Akari" She replied with a small smile before adding with a touch of embarrassment in her voice
"Forgive me... I am not so good with names lately". Since Akari was a first year she was constantly meeting new people and it was in such a short period of time so all the names were getting scrambled in her mind.

Akari scanned the room glancing under the tables and chairs to see if her notes had fallen somewhere over in that area when her attention was yet again captured by the 7 cauldrons. She shifted from side to side uneasily. She had to admit, this. was. weird. In her eyes it appeared as if everyone had ended up here unintentionally... but there was exactly 7 cauldrons, and 7 of them. Was this all a just a rare coincidence?

The only other boy in the classroom identified himself as Henry, which let Nick match another name to a face besides Alina. Just as he got another name of someone in the group, another girl with dark hair entered, bringing the number of people's names he didn't know back up to four. She seemed to be a bit disappointed to see all these people here, and Nick could absolutely understand that. Unlike the line for the washroom, the line of questioning felt like it went on forever.

That girl also made the number of people in the group equal to the number of cauldrons. That was a bit jarring for Nick because, at least he thought so, most people didn't plan their visits to the classroom beforehand. He definitely didn't, so even if everyone else had, there should be only six cauldrons, right? "I mean I didn' sign up for a class, n' it seems might lucky that there's seven students n' seven cauldrons. Unless he's a seer n' predicted this, but I don' think sae." Nick said in response to Henry trying to assess the situation.

Having at least a bit of control over his seer powers would be nice. Nick had just learned he probably was one a couple of weeks ago when he saw a girl was going to die horrifically, which wasn't the nicest experience. So far that and the weird vision of that commanding man were the only visions he had. It was probably because the ability hasn't matured yet, but it was pretty annoying being left to the whim of your mind. At the very least, Nick wished it could give him some hindsight, like for this situation.

Just then, the smallest girl in the group squeaked something out. Nick assumed she was a First-Year since she seemed even more confused about who everyone was than him, the guy who rarely talks to anyone. It was quite overwhelming in a sense, everyone trying to figure out what was going on while being all buddy-buddy with their friends. "Well let me help ye out with mine, 'm Nick, nice tae make yer acquaintance Akari." he said to the First Year.

Okay, so, Moon was definitely suspicious of her. Autumn did not trust the small wave and that vague "fine, you?" the tiniest amount. However, she had to keep up her game. If Moon was suspicious of her now, she would be far more suspicious if Autumn suddenly dropped her expression and her act. Suspicion was not good. Perhaps it would be better if she dropped the act already and hoped for the best.

Yeah, because that would totally work out.

Well, who cared if it did or didn't? These were strangers who she probably would not see again (with the exception of Alina Rosier). She could at least act like herself.

So, like a deceitful loser and a bored loner who had nothing better to do than watch people with far more interesting lives than her.

This is not the right time to quote Wyatt Starkey. No, scratch that, there is no right time to quote Wyatt Starkey.

Autumn stopped her mind from wandering and turned back to the issue at hand. She should act like herself, but herself sucked. However, if being herself meant that she had to suck, she supposed sacrifices had to be made.

She stopped playing her cheerful role and stood closer to the shadows and potion equipment. She put on her resting face; a disappointed glare and mildly disinterested expression.

Okay, great, she was done with that issue. What on earth was next?

Oh, yeah, avoiding the wrath of her mother. So, she could do that by finding the professor. However, he had not been in his office, and he clearly wasn't in his classroom now. So, what was going on?

Looking back at the others, she saw that Moon was looking at her expectantly. Crap, had she asked Autumn a question?

"Oh? Excuse me, could you please repeat yourself?"

She was polite as she spoke, but, since she was no longer fake-cheerful-Autumn, her tone was colder, more ruthless and uncaring. She hoped Moon wouldn't notice, although she knew that the Gryffindor would.

Cash let out a small chuckle after Akari said that she is not good with names. "Don't we all like that?"They stated. "I mean with this castle so big and have enormous amount of students every year, who could keep up?"They joke lightly. The quite boy introduced himself as Nick.

When the other Slytherin boy talked, he has accent that reminded them of one Professor MacTavish. "I am Cash"They told to Akari. Cash decided to follow what Henry did. The green eyes only introduced their name with their nickname. No need to be so personal or even too formal about it. Once all gathered in the classroom.

All of the students standing near their respective work spaces. The three Slytherins gather in one desk. Alina, Autumn and Rose at the other desk and while the young lioness (Akari) stand alone behind her cauldron.

Cash wondered with the set up of cauldrons. Does the professor know that somehow Slytherin always has a knack for trouble or something? If so, today the professor was in for a bit treat.

Cash smiled at themselves for about the plan that they just brewing in their mind. And suddenly darkness filled up the room. What a perfect coincidence, they thought to themselves. Cash tipped toed around the room and starting pouring some explosive powder to each and every cauldrons in front of the students, including their own.

The window of the opportunity are so small, so Cash need to work fast and stealthy without making a noise or dropping something in the process that would surely gave away that they are the culprit behind of what will happened in the next minutes. Cash hurriedly ran back to their station, almost tripped themselves in the process but successfully catch themselves.

When the light come back up. They already stand behind their cauldron. Inside the cauldron the powder start taking affecting of whatever the substances that already inside the cauldron before they put the explosive powder.

Cash counted internally and when the cauldron finally explode, they tried so hard to keep their poker face and not let out a big laugh that they are the one that make the cauldrons exploded.

It was a perfect timing, when the cauldrons exploded they let out a gasp and simultaneously Cash took a bit stepped back, only some of the splatter of the substances hit them. The first one that react to the incidence was Henry. He asked the room what had just happened.

"No clue"Cash stated with dumbfounded expression on their face as they swipe the remains of the splatter off their clothes as best as they can.

"You can call me Rose," Rose offered Akari, the girl who seemed a little lost in terms of everyone's name. "I'm not so good with names, either."
Ivy's tone changed drastically, proving that her former cheerfulness was fake. Rose felt chills run down her back and hoped she was going to be okay, but didn't comment on it. She blushed at her question. "I was just wondering if you knew where the professor was. Most of us are trying to find him- it's okay if you don't."
The lights went out and Rose moved a little closer to Alina, hoping that this was all a coincidence.
Boy, was she wrong.
Rose jumped when the lights went out, and migrated to a table, holding onto the side. The lights flicked back on and she found herself in front of a cauldron.
Oh crap.
The cauldrons began to explode, one by one. As the first one did, out of instinct, Rose flinched and grabbed Alina's forearm, not hard enough to hurt her or to hold onto her if she was shaken off. She ducked down into a squat, pulling her good friend down into a crouch as well. If Alina's balance was thrown off, which was just about as likely as not, Rose would steady her. From there, she would freeze, every muscle tensed until all of the cauldrons were done exploding. Rose didn't scream- she never screamed- she didn't make a noise. Once all of the cauldrons exploded, Rose let go of Alina's arm, slowly standing up to look at the cauldrons in horror- or, should we say, what was left of the cauldrons. They were more like piles of ash now. Rose brushed the little particles out of her hair. Her face flushed, and she apologized embarrassed to Alina, "I'm- sorry, it um... it surprised me." Her first instinct had been to duck herself down, and to duck Alina down, even though it hadn't been dangerous enough to kill either of them, Rose's instincts took over every thought, every muscle.
"What just happened?"
"I don't know," Rose whispered, shivering in her sweater. It really was cold down here in the dungeons, even though she was wearing a sweater. She pulled the sleeves a little farther over her arms.
What had happened? Had someone in here exploded them? But either they were very good at pretending, or they all truly had nothing to do with it, but everyone in the room looked bewildered.

”Pleasure to meet you all” Akari replied with a small smile to them after they had introduced themselves. She appreciated that Nick, Henry and Rose had introduced themselves voluntarily and that Cash kindly had reminded her of their name so she didn’t have to ask. Then there was talk of the professor maybe being a seer? That was a possibility but wouldn’t that be common knowledge if he was? Unless he was trying to keep it a secret? But surely he’d have done a better at hiding it if 7 students could figure it out that easily... something still didn’t add up.

Akari stood still in her spot with wide eyes and an extremely surprised facial expression as the lights went out. After the lights turned back on, she noticed that she was standing alone, and almost considered moving closer towards the other students but then quickly dismissed that thought, since ‘what Gryffindor is sacred of a little darkness?’
A couple seconds of the lights being back on something strange happened. BAM. Just like that, the cauldrons exploded. Akari accidentally inhaled the smoke from the explosion, causing her to start hacking for a few moments.
Once she was a little more composed she muttered mainly to herself but didn’t really care if anyone heard her or not in a tone that sounded more annoyed than she had intended
”What the bloody hell was that?”
Then she glanced around the room suspiciously but obviously didn’t suspect that this was one of the students doing at all.
