You know that feeling you get..?

[Hiro McVeil]

Something didn't add up, something that wasn't logical. Hiro had been trying to figure out what was wrong with him for a while now but still came up short. He sat in the comfy chair thinking what it might be that made him wake up in the night over and over again.

Lily sat at a table not far away, working on some homework, hardly making any noise except for the scratching of the quill. She was getting a bit more furious in her writing and eventually her elbow connected with the ink sending it flooding across the table. "Crap," she said quietly. Hopefully she would be able to repair the now ink-soaked parchment and not have to start over.

[Hiro McVeil]

Though Hiro knew of the others in the room he hadn't been spending much attention to what they were doing...at least not until someone became frustrated.

"What? What happened?!" He over reacted when he came back to the real world.

[hermione7lunaroc]

"Nothing," Lily said brushing it off. "Least I hope it's nothing. No big deal. Just spilled my ink all over my essay and I should be able to think of a spell to fix that. I hope there's one anyways, I was almost done too."

[Hiro McVeil]

Hiro's first impulse was to use the banishing spell on the ink, though that might cause the whole essay to vanish. It was a long shot but maybe...

"Try reparo on it." He suggested, though it was more likely for broken not ruined things.

[hermione7lunaroc]

"I don't think that will work," Lily said. But nevertheless, she shrugged and decided to try it. "Reparo," she said. She sighed. Nothing had happened. "No such luck," she said. "Looks like I'll be starting over then."

[arianna]

"Try siphoning it off," Arianna suggested, peering over her book from one of the chairs near the fireplace. "You might have to go over some of the words again, but at least you don't have to start at the beginning."

[hermione7lunaroc]

"Siphoning it?" Lily asked. "Like with a straw and putting the ink in my mouth and spitting it out? I think I'd rather start over if that's the case." She shuddered at the thought of ink in her mouth. It might be deadly.

[arianna]

"With you wand, silly!" Arianna exclaimed. Setting her book down, she wandered over and looked over the other girl's work. Her wand was already out and pointed at the parchment, sucking the blob right off and leaving most of what Lily had written behind.

[hermione7lunaroc]

"You are a genuis Ari," Lily clapped her hands together and bowed before Ari. "You have saved my homework. Only I don't much feel like working on it anymore. It isn't due tomorrow anyways and I think I want to preserve it, case I spill again."

[Hiro McVeil]

"Ari you're a genius!" Hiro proclaimed at the same time Lily did but not for the same reason. He now had an idea for a new prank that might help. "Where did you put the ink when it was siphoned?" If it was collected into one space than he could use it very well.

[arianna]

"Um....." Arianna paused and stared down at her wand. She had never thought about it before, but now she was curious about where the ink had gone. If she could figure out a way to get it back, it would save her from having to buy a new ink well each time she spilled.

[Hiro McVeil]

"So it's not waiting to be placed somewhere then?" Hiro said more than asked. "Blast! That won't help with my revenge."

The girls knew Hiro well enough that the talk of revenge was out of character for him. He grumbled as he went back to the comfy chair about the things running through his mind.

[arianna]

"Revenge?" Arianna's face twisted up in confusion. She had no clue what Hiro was talking about, but if it involved any sort of tricks or pranks, she had no qualms about helping.

"I could...try to figure it out," she offered with a shrug. "There's bound to be a book somewhere that'll tell us where the ink goes and if we can get it back."

"I don't think books can help this problem." He said again changing the subject. "I've got to..." Deep down he probably knew why he kept waking up at night but it was too confusing for him.

"Have you ever been worried about someone letting your secret slip, even if it's no big deal?"
