Speedy followed his Head Girl, Cheshire, down the winding hallways after their magically-appearing supper finished blowing his mind. He spent half that time tugging Starfire's hair and motioning about how there was no trace of a physical trick underneath the tables; that had to have been real magic just then!
"Star! Are you as stoked as I am?! What're they gonna let us do tomorrow..? I can't wait ta fly in a Quidditch match, learn howda care fer magical creatures...d'ya think Bido'll be part've the magical creature set?! I miss the liddle guy..that'd be so much fun! " babbled the delusional ginger as they approached the Hufflepuff dorms, alternately nudging Silverwing and informing her of similar excitement, as well as makign small-talk with some of teh newer Titans he was starting to wake-up enough to recognize again.
Cheshire let them in, having been privy to the passcode for the week/month/time interval they'd be starting with.
'Playpen.'
Within was a childlike wonderland specially crafted by Madame Mae-Eye's careful care and love for her 'children'; it seemed all fun and games and bright colours, foosball, air-hockey, goldenrod loungechairs forming a King Arthur's Round Table sort of set-up in the middle for cooperative council-meeting-type purposes, perhaps, to foster the group into a tighter-knit body like siblings should be.
Speedy was the first one to hit the slide into the transparent-walled, trampoline-bottomed kiddy-pool, though. The water wasn't on tonight, but in its stead were several water noodles and beachballs he and a couple of other kids were beating each other over the head harmlessly with, laughing like idiots. He didn't consider the physics or sense of their being a trampoline at the bottom of what was optionally a pool, or how the water kept from soaking through the material that aided him in dramatic flips and kung-fu poses until he lost his breath, his yellow robes flipped over his happy and exhausted face.
It was just magic, plain and simple.
Before he could explore the room some more for additional ridiculous modes of exercise, the general cheer of the room was sucked out like the beachball his butt had deflated upon his last landing.
It was the nightly announcements' fault there.
Hufflepuffs in several states of previously buoyant animation seemed to freeze themselves.
(Speedy would later realize he'd flipped the Antium-Gravitosa switch on their fun-room when he'd rocketed Silverwing into the sunny-yellow padded wall near the entrance by jumping the trampoline a bit too hard.)
Hostages.
FROZEN.
Chamber of Secrets.
Something at the back of his mind, about the necessity to remember himself, pricked (especially being frozen before). This wasn't all fun and games. Civilians were undergoing the same fate he'd been subjected to thanks to...thanks to...what was it again? The entire Brotherhood of Evil fight was still foggy at best in his memory, and he wasn't linking his disguise and super-name to any higher meaning than this being his school-time identity.
Shaking his head a bit and yawning, he bid Star, Silverwing, and the others goodnight, heading for the boys dorms obediently.
It had been a long, whimsically wonderful Christmas Day, and while he looked forward to tomorrow's first class like it would be New Years, he felt a strange apprehension after replaying that
CHILLING
scene over in his head from Mod's Brit-cast moments prior.
