As the steps got lower, so did Carters body temperature. He descended into the dungeons of the school. The air had a very musky scent to it, and it was also very cold. The walls were lined with cobwebs, and the corners were encrusted with grime, but as it was too hot to go outside, Carter decided to explore the castle.
He passed door after door, not wanting to go in them because he had no clue as to what might be in them. The hallway curved to the right, and in the distance, Carter could see a door ajar. He started to walk a little slowly, incase there was a teacher inside the room, whow as waiting to scold him for being down there.
As he got closer to the door, the lighting seemed to get darker. He turned to look at the walls to see why, and noticed that the flames in the torches were out.
"Lumos" Carter muttered, and a light illuminted at the end of his wand, spreading light all over the walls and the floor ahead of him. He peered around the door to see if anyone was inside of the room, but it was deserted, so he walked in.
The room seemed to be an old classroom. There were desks that littered the floor, and cupboards lined on side of the wall. He walked over to the cupboards and opened one of them. There were probably about a hundred different ingredients, liquid and sold, in the cupoard. He was bezoars, and boomslang skin, and everything you could think of.
"This must've been an old Potions classroom."

Craig walked down the hallway. He had left the Huffelpuff Common room for a "bathroom trip" but he actually went to explore the school. He had ended up in the dungeons. He lit his wand, Lumos for him merely flickered out, so he tried Lumos Maxima, and it did. He walked down the stairs and the hallways. Down to a place where it was so cold he shivered in the thick school robes. He considered Blue-bell flames, but no keep the light on.
The torches were now out. And a door was held ajar. He peered around and saw a black robed figure, peering in the shelves. He had studied a spell and he thought No time like the present and whispered "Locomotor Mortis" and pointed his wand tip through the gap in the door.

As he was examining the ingredients in the cupboard, Carter knew he could hear footsteps out in the hallway.
"Knox" he said, and his wand went out, but the footsteps were getting louder, he stood right where he was, rooted to the stop. The footsteps stopped, but still, Carter didn't move. He heard someone whisper something, and it must've been a spell because a jet of light came soaring at him, and in the next second, his legs were locked.
"What the hell!" he yelled.
"Who's out there!" he yelled again, wobbling from side to side, but not falling over.

"oh! i'm sorry." Craig came into the room. He tapped the boy's legs with his wand and the legs came apart. Craig then saw the blue on the boys robes. Sudnelly very aware of his own yellow. "Im Craige Folger. And I'm from Huffelpuff. I'm sorry if I starteled you...but you gotta admit." Craige started to laugh, his words intermitten with laughter "It-chuckel chuckel-was-freakin-gale of laughter-funny."

Carter glared at him.
"Well that was one way to introduce your self." Carter mumbled, rubbing one of his legs.
"Anyways, I'm Carter Christiansen, Ravenclaw. I think I saw you in the common common room." he said.
"I just decided to wander around the castle to see what it's like. I came across this classroom, it seems to be abandoned, but the cupboards are still full of ingredients." Carter told him.

"Yes, I saw you too." Craige was feeling bad. Well, at least his spells were getting better. "So-how long have you been looking around this...Charming little pit?" He moved to examine the potion ingredients. "Lace wing flies, Syrup of Helibor? These are so odd ingredients to keep in an abandoned place." And he slipped a little of each ingredient into his robe inside pocket.

"Eh, only a few minutes until you came." Carter said, moving over to the front of the class to see if anything was left on the teachers desk. All he found were some very old Chocolate Frogs, which had no hop in them.
"Mmm, yummy." he said sarcastically, examining the frogs.
He turned around and saw Craig slip someting into his robe pocket.
"Hey! What did you just take? You know, right now you seem like you would've been better off in Slytherin..."Carter said.

"Those daring nerve and Chivalry set...Ravenclaw apart?" Craig said questioningly "I don't think thats what the hat said..." He showed his hand, with a small bezor in it's palm. "And I was just taking some poision-control out of a old abandoned cabinet where it would do nothing-whereas if you were suddenly poisioned I would save you." And with that Craig Turned and glared defiently at Carter

Carter glared at him. This kid was getting on his nerves.
"Well I don't think anyone here has a deep grudge against me thats deep enough for them to want to kill me, unless my dad did something horrible to someone and know there kid is after me..."Carter said, again sarcastically.

Craig knew he could be very subborn. It wasn't hard for him to do it. Oh well. "You never know here. And also did you realize that here-we wouldn't be able to run if a teacher found us." He turned...and then turned back, and looked at Carter. "Listen, dude, I'm sorry. I know I can be an ass." And he took the beazor, lacewing flies, boomslang skin, Syrup of helibor and some more ingredients out of his robe pockets.

Craig apologize, which was a start.
"Eh, yeah, it's okay man. But yeah, about the teachers, i don't see why they would come in here in the first place, it looks like this room has been deserted for a long, long while, but I guess you could be right." Carter said. He took one last look around the room.
"Well, do you wanna go back upstairs somewhere?"he asked.

"Sure...I have an idea...Wait here and come up to the 7th floor, infront of the patch of blank wall across from that tapestry of Barnibus the barby...you know the dancing trolls...say 5 minutes?" And craig looked-already sprinting on his toes to go to the room of requierment.

Carter was confused, but he didn't disagree.
"Okay then, see you there?" he said, but Craig was already out of the classroom.
