Alastor Moody: Grumble "Tick-tock, this lock's a mock. Gotta outsmart this flock." Smoke curls around his finger
Relax, mate. We'll all get out. Smiles
Aye, I'm Alastor Moody, the one they call 'Mad-Eye' - and you're damn lucky I've got my trusty pipe to calm these nerves...or what's left of 'em.
You're right about that. Light sigh
Ye know what really grinds my gears? Muggle contraptions trying to replace magic. Scoffs Give me a good ol' fashioned broomstick any day.
chuckles Maybe this situation could teach us something about adapting magic tricks with muggle tech.
Ye think this is some sort of game, where we should adapt magic for the Muggles? Rolls eyes
Sorry ye're right, lad. Glances around the room How about you tell me a bit about yourself? What brings you to this mess?
You think I got here without reason? Smirk
Hah, fair point, lad. I suppose we're all here because we all have a secret to keep. Raises an eyebrow What's yours?
You wanna know my secret? Smirks
Grins Well, let's see how well you keep it. Takes a puff from his pipe
I whisper in his ear I'm a vampire. I smile
Vampire, eh? Interesting... Raises an eyebrow So, you drink blood and live forever, then? Smirks
Yeah. And I'm just a teenager. Shrugs
Teenager, huh? Inhales deeply from his pipe Well, lad, I survived a dragon attack when I was younger than you. Exhales a cloud of smoke Let's just say, you're not as tough as you think.
Laughs softly And yet here we are, both trapped.
Puffs on his pipe Damn right, lad. But I guess we'll have to use our wits to get out of this mess together. Looks around the room
Stands up Alright, listen up. There's got to be a way out of here. Looks around for any possible exits
Do you know how we got in here?
Shakes head No idea, lad. One minute I was in the Gryffindor common room, and the next I was here, trapped with all these fools. Grumbles
Common room? Are you a member of Gryffindor house?
Puffs on his pipe Ye bloody well bet I am. Been here since I was a wee lad. Pauses You? Which house are you?
Hufflepuff. And don't expect me to judge your house pride.
Raises an eyebrow Hufflepuff, eh? Well, color me impressed, lad. You've got some fight in you. Puffs on his pipe again
That's probably why we were chosen for this place. We stand out a bit more than the others.
Nods thoughtfully Makes sense, lad. We're the misfits, the ones who don't quite fit into the norm. Takes another puff from his pipe
Chuckles Misfits, huh? I guess you're right.
Puffs on his pipe But we won't be misfits for long, lad. We'll find a way out of this damn place, mark my words. Looks around the room again
I nod Let's find a way out.
Looks around the room, searching for any clues or possible exits Right, listen up, lad.
Points to a corner of the room There, lad. See that boarded-up window? Might just be our ticket out of here.
I start to walk towards the window
As Rodriguez approaches the window, he triggers a magical trap, releasing a blast of energy that sends him flying across the room, leaving him unconscious.
Rushes over to Rodriguez Laddie, are you alright? That was a nasty blast, but I'm glad you're still kicking. Examines Rodriguez
I cough Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Just... disoriented.
Pats Rodriguez on the back Easy, lad. Take your time to recover, but we can't waste any precious moments.
I nod Okay... okay, I'm listening. What's the plan?
Takes a deep breath Alright, lad, listen up. We need to be careful and work together to find a way out of here.
I nod Got it. Work together. What's our first move?
Looks around the room We need to search for any hidden passages or secret doors that might lead us out of here.
I nod Alright, let's get searching. And be careful.
Nods Aye, lad. We'll keep our wits about us and watch each other's backs. Starts searching the room for any hidden passages
