There was no where to go, Charlie thought glumly. She didn't want to go back to the professor's chambers to find Proffy G in there, Raynor's office just made her want to suffocate (and she didn't want to be alone with the creepy creature), and Slytherin house was bound to have Reina there, ready to pounce surely.
So the only place she thought of was the Ravenclaw's house. She had been in there once for a prank, but she didn't actually know the password. And that didn't occur to her until she reached the entrance. As the password was requested, "Raynor" groaned. "How the heck am I supposeta know?!" She grumbled an grumbled, occaisonally making up random words as the password. "Beetle morass?" She said, her hand out in asking for help. This day had no chance of geting better.

((ooc: i hope you don't mind if i join, but since i saw no "closed" label on this thread i assumed it was open)) Charon was ready for a nap. Insomnia had plagued him the night before, and he was extremely tired. He was heading back to the common room, his thoughts on his nice warm bed. As he neared the entrance, though, he noticed a woman standing there. Not just any woman, but one of the very few professors he recognized at the school, Professor Raynor.
"Hello, Professor," he said as he passed. He said, giving the password and the entrance opened up. He walked in, still thinking of how comfortable his bed would be.

Before she could even plead for the password, she was let in easily and painless. Sticking her tongue out at the password requester, she stepped into the Ravenclaw tower, finally able to take in all that the common room had to offer.
Of course, it looked like an eagle puked all over the room, with it's display of Ravenclaw pride, but Charlie was glad that she wasn't having morning sickness anymore, because she would have hurled right then and there. "Thanks, kid," She told the Ravenclaw, plopping down on the good chair and finding a QQ right nearby. "Drew's gotta be careful with these things," she said to herself mischeiviously.

Charon was a little annoyed at being called "kid," but since it was a professer he really couldn't show it. "You're welcome," he replied, and decided it wasn't worth it to climg the stairs just to get to bed. He collapsed onto a couch and curled up, hoping it wouldn't be too loud for him to sleep.

{Charon, I edited the actual password out of your post People without it have a way of getting in here... durn Slytherins... } Drew trotted down the stairs cheerfully enough until he saw his favorite chair was occupied and his magazine was being read by... Professor Raynor? Sure, she came in every once in a while, but never so... casually. "Hello Professor..." he said warily. The woman had been acting kind of weird lately.

((sorry about that. i figured anyone who could read that would a;ready have the password, so it wouldn't matter.)) Charon heard another voice as someone came downstairs. He looked up and around and saw a boy staring at Professor Raynor. He felt the other boy's arrival didn't affect him, so he lay back down and continued his fruitless efforts at getting to sleep. Bloody imsomnia, he thought.

By now, she had felt more relaxed by the whole situation. Call it being numb, but at least she was temporarily coping with being the Deputy Headmistress, perhaps because she was exhausted. But as she flipped through the pages here and there, she wasn't really reading. In fact, she thought the situation over, seeing it as a good chance to have some fun.
Looking up from the Bats' scores to Drew, "Raynor" nodded to him with a smile. "Hello, Mr. Thornton," she said carefully. "Tell me, you haven't skateboarded off of any huts these days, have you?" She raised an eyebrow slowly, acting as Raynor-like as possible. All this formality was killing her, though.

"No, ma'am..." Drew answered seriously, frowning a little at the implication that he'd break his word on the matter. Of course, he had never made any such promise about skateboarding down hallways or staircases.
He watched the woman a while, looking for any more signs of that weird behaviour he had seen earlier. Aside from her propping her feet up on the taqble and reading his magazine, he really couldn't see anything. "Uh... I didn't know you followed Quidditch..." he said, trying to sound casual.

"Yeah, well there's plenty of things you don't know about me, Mr. T," "Tamis" smirked, purposely putting some variety into his name. Charlie had always wanted to call him that for some reason, and it seemed just perfect to call him that.
Folding a corner of a page, she crossed her arms and looked at him again. "What do you do y'all do here? It's kinda boring right about now."

Charon heard voices, but luckily for him, they weren't in his head. He thought about asking the professor and the boy to quiet down, but he knew that he wasn't going to get any sleep. It had always been extremely hard for him to nap, so he wasn't surprised at his inability to catch a few winks.
"Aside from lay on couches and try futilely to sleep? We sit around and marvel at the fact that the professor has chosen to grace us with her presence, an act that normally doesn't happen to my knowledge," he said in answer to Raynor's question. Normally he would have been more polite, but the whole tiredness thing was starting to wear on him, and he was getting a bit irritable.

Drew cringed when Raynor creased the pages of his magazine, supposedly to mark her place. But he said nothing, so focuse on what she had done that he didn't even notice the name she had used.
But Charon gave his two knuts and Drew had to grin. "Sometimes we wait for Hiro to remind kids that the main common room isn't really the best place to nap." Raynor didn't need to know the other prefect used water balloons to get his point across.

"Get used to it, kid," "Tamis" replied to Charon lazily. She wasn't sure how long she would stay this way. She had been trying to find "Charlie" for the longest time, but she was more tired than usual. She could only hope that they could return to their form before the baby would come.
Feeling a headache come on (the result from dealing with seven frustrating classes), she groaned and rubbed her temple. "I dunno how she does this..." she said to herself, but not quitely enough.

Drew raised an eyebrow at Raynor's response. It was definitely a new one for the usually deserved Deputy. Perhaps being married to Professor G was losening her up a bit. Merlin knows she needed it.
And the... the oddest mumbling. She had spoken softly, but it was still clear. "Who?" he asked puzzled.

"Ra--I mean, what? Who?" Charlie said, almost forgetting the entire situation. "I didn't say anything, Mr. T," she replied, but added childishly, "You're probably going crazy, that's all." Yeah, nobody ever said that she was good at covering up her secret.

Drew caught the name that time and raised an eyebrow at her. he didn't say anything about it, finiding it odd, but doubting the woman actually knew who Mr. T was. She was sorely behind on Muggle culture.
But the other comment? "I'm going crazy?" he mumbled back, saying it louder than he had intended. Then again, maybe he was.
