Ryan walked slowly through the dark, empty corridor. He had nowhere to be at the moment, no classes to attend, no homework to do, and thought that maybe he would go outside to the lake. Sunlight flitted through the cracks of one of the boarded up windows, and Ryan was more than a little bored.
He walked slowly through the dusty hall, pausing to see what exactly was in this nearly abandoned section of the huge castle. He walked slowly, taking in all there was too see, although there wasn't much. Suddenly, something caught his eye. It was a gleam of silver, which was quite out of place and therefore unexpected. Ryan paused, and inspected the place where he could have sworn he saw something bright and shiny. But there was nothing there. Puzzled, Ryan looked around. the only thing that was even remotley near him was a rather ancient looking statue of a witch by the name of Tilly Toke.
He stared at the statue, with a frown. Something was puzzling him, and Ryan stepped forward to inspect the statue. He noticed that it looked as if it hadn't been dusted in ages, except for one spot, her outstretched palm. Debating, Ryan place his palm on the statues.
Suddenly, the statue spoke to him. "Got there at last, have you?" And a hidden stone door behind her slid open, revealing a rather large room. "Cool." Ryan exclaimed, seeing what was inside this mysterious room he had uncovered. It seemed to be a games room. Inside, there were two large pool tables, two dart boards on the wall, two tables, for what seemed like card playing, and a few pinball machines. In the far corner of the room what looked like a soda fountain poured every sort of drink in existance, and there were a stack of cups next to it.
Ryan remained in the doorway, and the statue seemed to look at him. He wasn't sure if the room was off limits for students, as he had never heard of there being a games room before. Maybe the teachers didn't even know about it. Hogwarts did have many secrets.

Hannah took out her wand and did a spell on the staue it stayed uite silent one her wand tapped gently against the mouth. She walked inside to see Ryan even she hadn't seen this place before.

Ryan turned, still in the door frame. "Oh, hey Hannah," he said quite cheerfully. "Have you been here before?" Ryan asked her. He was still quite shocked that he had discovered this place, although he was excited and ready to use it as well.

Hannah entered the unfamlier place. "Nope." She replied while looking around. She gave a slight laugh. "But that staue was bugging me so I used the Silenico charm on it." She told Ryan with a shrug.

Ryan laughed. "I don't think you were supposed to do that." He shrugged, showing he didn't really care. "Lets go in, see what else is hiding." Ryan told her, stepping into the room. the moment he did so, all the games seemed to come to life, the billiards balls racked themselves, cards shuffled each other. It was quite funny.

Hannah followed behind Ryan. "Intersting yet confusing." She said aloud as all the games began to come to life. She gave a shrug to herself and carried walking unscared and unafraid.

"Looks like fun to me!" Ryan exclaimed, picking up a pool cue and chalking it. He placed the white ball on the mark, and then broke. "Coolness." Ryan said, as the seven, three, and eleven fell into different pockets. He left the balls where they were, not caring, and ambled over to the dart board.

Hannah raised an eyebrow. "Coolness? she asked confused to Ryan. She had never heard him say that before.

Kira, who was reluctantly going back down the empty corridor looking for clues saw a light. With a raised eyebrow she approached it. She looked at the statue who was away from her usual spot. She stepped up inside the doorway and looked around. The first thing she noticed was Hannah and Ryan. "Oh hey guys, what is all this?" she asked noticing all the games, her eyes lingering a bit on the pool tables.

"Hey, not much," Ryan said, turning from the darts. "Don't know what this place is. I mean, its obviously a game room, but I wonder if we're allowed to use it," he said, going over to her. "I don't know who else knows about it. Or if they even do, you know? It was pretty well hidden. "

Hannah looked around again. "Well It doesn't look very ancient but maybe this was hidden for a reason." She explain. Even though she had never seen this before she had the weirdest feeling that she had...But out of the country.

Kira nodded. "Oh....You talk alot you know that." she teased with a soft laugh, stepping up to a pool table. She picked up the nearest pool cue and aimed it all the white ball that was still in play. She shot it at the 9 ball but knocked in the 8 instead. "I was never very good at this game." she said shaking her head and laying it back on the table.

Hannah sighed. "Yeah...Going away for awhile did alot to me." She replied to Kira. She walked in even further. All the games there were the types she could never get right. So she just sat down in a chair and watched Kira and Ryan play like first years. She sighed and watched as a wall began to glow gold.

"I do not!." Ryan said, mock indignantly. Indicating the absence of three balls on the table, he said "I got lucky earlier. Well, yeah, that's what I was thinking. But we might as well take advantage of it, right? I mean why not use it. Oh, and for future reference, theres no password, you have to put your hand on that statues hand."

Hannah stood up and went over to the wooden window with no glass. She hummed something but didn't say what it was. She gave a laugh when Ryan said he didn't talk much. "Oh...You do Ryan." She teased quite furfilled with what she was doing.

"That is a total lie! An outrage, I tell you....." Ryan trailed off, laughing. "Okay, so maybe it's not. I'll shut up now."

Kira laughed and looked over to the cards table. She walked over and sat down taking the self-shuffling cards in her hands a dealing them out as if 3 others where playing, setting them down she looked at her own two cards, a Ace and a 9 of diamonds. "Not bad." she said aloud. "I should've brought my sunglasses," she said remembering seeing most of the people that play wear them.

"Yeah, but what are you actually playing?" Ryan asked interestedly. "Blackjack? I'm in!" He sat down next to Kira and said, "No cheating!" before he investigated his own hands. A seven and a four.

Hannah watched Ryan and Kira play as first years once again. "First years." She coughed teasing Kira and Ryan. She then faced the window and sat on it's leges watching as a few hippagriff's set flight.

"Sorry no." she answered Ryan burning a card (not literly) and taking the next three setting them face down on the table. "Poker.... Texas hold-em to be exact." she said with a sly smile. "Do you know how to play?" she asked, about to flip the three cards over.

Hannah sighed and walked out of the boring games room. She walked back outside where the empty corridor was.
(Blah, blah, blah I have never played any of this games...EVER)

ooc: Wow... texas hold em is soooo easy, Im surprised, have you ever played 31... yes 31 not blackjack. Texas hold-em is alot like poker, cept you only get 2 cards and you use the river to get a straight, pair, ect.
"Oh." she said slightly surprised, she fliped the three cards over an Ace and a six and five showed up. "K, I'll show ya." she flipped her own cards over to show. "Normally you wouldn't show people your cards of course." she said moving her ace forward.
ooc: Brb

Ruby walked into the empty corridor and noticed something familer. Of course it was the games room but she knew a secret way in. She opened a little vent and went through it. She finally reached the loverly games room. She began to dust herself once she was in.

((Thirty one, you get three cards, you pass them around, right? You have to get like the closest to thirty one all in the same suit or something. ))
"Er, okay." Ryan said, flipping over his seven and four. "Wait, I've only got two. Why's that?" he asked her. "Oh, hey Ruby." He called over his shoulder.
