As they exited the Quidditch Supplies Shop, Jaquin listened to Kamron talk about the newly designed bats. "Well, of course, mine broke right after I got home for the summer last year, which is why I'm buying a new one right now. But, what really perturbs me is that my unbreakable charms only last about 5 years before it wears off. So, I have to remember to reinforce it once more." They stood in the middle of the crowded street as Kamron discussed their possible actions. After hearing this, Jaquin thought of a knew plan. "Well, we don't have to spend much time in Honeydukes, plus, I have to show you the one secret passageway back into the castle, I mean, Filch doesn't check who comes back. He only checks who goes out. Therefore, we will still have to get a drink at the Three Broomsticks. Come on, let's get to the Library," Jaquin replied with confidence.
They strode down the cobblestone street towards a four story library that lay near the end of the walled town. When they entered, Jaquin quickly found the magibiology and herbology section with ease. As he looked through them, he found several advanced volumes that intrigued him. He quickly went to the counter and paid for the 5 books be bought, stuffing them into the next bag that hung from Jaquin's shoulder. After purchasing the profound volumes, he headed over to the Astronomy section, and bought another book about astrophysics that he could use to study with Perseus. "So, what will you be buying?" Jaquin asked. He leaned over to the section that Kamron was looking at and endeavored to read the title of the book......

Kamron had eagerly gone along with Jaquin's rambings about where to go and how much time. He was thinking along the exact same lines. It seemed almost strange to him that he and Jaquin had just met days before. He almost had to laugh at himself for it--as much as he studied the behavior of others and he never picked up on the fact that he and Jaquin were so much alike they were a perfect match as friends.
When they entered the library, they seperated, as he headed straight for the section that leant a little more towards sociology and psychology.
By the time his friend joined him again Kamron had three books piled ont he floor at his feet, and was now pouring over a book intitled: Why They Did It: The Psychology Behind The Dark Arts
He saw Jaquin approching out of the corner of his eye and smiled slightly.
"Have you gotten eveything? I guess that means I just have to pay for these"
He closed the book he was reading and reached down to pick up the others. One wa a rather large book about understanding dreams, another was about how social behavior influenced one's sucess, and the final was a book on how astrology had affected wizards through time. It happened that he was rather fond of his astrology class.

"Nice pick," Jaquin said, as he looked at the book about dark arts. "Well, I bought these books." Jaquin disclosed the titles of each volume as he took them out one by one: 'Inside Magibiology: Recent Findings that Link Magical Creatures to the "Dinosaurs"', 'Advanced Magibiology, Theories of Modern Advances', 'The Genetics of Magibiology', 'Magibiophysics: For the Advanced Researcher', 'Herbology: A Relation to Muggle Plantbiology', and 'Advanced Astrophysics: Theories from the Modern Muggle World'. Each one of these books had the names of prominent authors, which added to their credibility. After leaving the capacious, but quiescent and placid Library, Jaquin checked his moneybag to find that it was still jingling with galleons. "Good," he thought. "At least he would not have to worry about his money for the rest of the day." Turning to Kamron, Jaquin inquired, "So, why don't we get to Honeydukes quickly. I'd like to get a few swigs of Butterbeer before heading back."
This time, Kamron lead the way as they moved throught the packed streets which seemed to become more and more boisterous as the day began to come to an end. Jaquin checked his watch to find that it was still four in the afternoon. They still had a lot of time before the 7 o'clock dinner.

He nodded in agreement to Jaquin's plans as the headed down the street and stepped intot he every famous Hogsmead candy shop. He decided that he was having a craving for some chocolate, and he could amost taste how good it would go with a bottle of butterbeer.
He walked immediatly to the wall that was overed with stacks of different types of chocolate and he picked up a bar with almonds in it, before looking around to see if there was anything else in the shop he wanted.
"Going here was definatly a good idea"

"Yeah!" Jaquin concured. "I'll be getting some of these...." He reached for one of the less sugary chocolate bars that was placed high up in the counter. After paying for several chocolates and other multifarious sweets, Jaquin walked out of the crowd, waiting for Kamron to finish. "All right, lets get to the Three Broomsticks and then head back to the castle through the secret entrance," Jaquin said. "It will be dark soon. So, let's get a butterbeer and drink it on the way back. I think that you will enjoy the view."
They trudged down the street, seeking routes that avoided the boisterous crowds. When they finally arrived at the well appreciated Three Broomsticks, the place was packed so tight that Jaquin could barely see the counter. Quickly moving through the throngs of students, Jaquin reached the counter and ordered two butterbeer bottles before moving to where Kamron stood. Then, with clandestine and meticulous vigilance, Jaquin headed down to the cellar and waited for Kamron to follow. "This is where the secret door way is," Jaquin whispered. Jaquin quickly tapped a part of the wall in sequential patterns with his wand before leaning back into the wall. He quickly sank out of view and reappeared on the other end where it looked as if they were underwater.....
(Sorry, busy with school work.) ;D

Clutching his butterbeer close to his stomach to keep it safe from the rather rambuncious crowd he followed after Jaquin, careful not to loose him.
Once they reached the basement, he watched the order and location of the taps that his firend did on the wall, comitting them to memory sot hat they could be used again later. He then watched the older boy sink into the wall and disapear out of sight. After waiting a moment, he followed the action and vanished from the Three Sisters, apearing in what seemed to be some sort of under water passage.
He looked around, noddinger approvingly
"How fascinating"
he mumber to himself

The murky water could be seen above their heads, rippling with the slight movements of miniscule fish swimming about. Jaquin explained, "We are currently standing under the water table of the lake. You see, the tunnel's walls and top were enchanted to look like the outside of it, much like the Great Hall's ceiling. More and more divergent species began to appear as they neared the capacious expance of lake. Water rippled as miniscule bodies moved through it, distorting the shine of the sun from high above.
Upon reaching the end of the elongated tunnel, Jaquin slipped out his wand and made the same tapping pattern he did at the beginning, revealing an entrance that led right into the dungeons. "Come on! Let's get back to Ravenclaw towere before any teachers see us and get suspicious!" Jaquin whispered with urgency.

His attenting was focused intnetly on their surroundings as they made their way done the tunnel. Truthfully, Kamron wasn't that intrested in anials, but it was still a fascinating place to be.
Finally they reached the end, and his attention went to the patter that Jaquin was tapping. He reconized it as the one used to first open the tunnel.
When they stepped out into the the castle again, he waisted no time in nodding in agreement.
"Yes, we will have to hurry, our presense will be most suspicious if we are found wandering the halls"
He then turned and started towards the Ravenclaw commonroom, walking alongside his friend
