Eighth Imprisonment

[freewill_e]

I wonder where these curses come from. Doesn't it make anyone curious who casts them, and why, and how they could affect a whole school? What kind of spell could relieve one's lack of freedom? I felt different the last few days, but that was just more magic. Stupid, stupid magic.

Fool. How could I be such a fool, to think it would just

I've never wondered, really. I just figured it was discharge from other spells previously cast.

[freewill_e]

But what kind of spells could break the curse have the effects that they do?

[bingotothat]

The spell from the other day made us obey orders, right? Or it seemed like that's what was happening. Well. The only thing I can think of that can control a person is Imperius, but...that's illegal so I can't imagine why anyone would cast that in there.

Mandy always said the curse was like Imperius, but...how could orders work for people other than the caster?

[freewill_e]

No, I can't imagine someone here wanting to spell another to control them.

[bingotothat]

Maybe it was a weaker version of it. We're not like...well, muggles, so maybe it was the power of...suggestion.

[freewill_e]

Only if suggestions could make someone play jump rope with their own hair.

[bingotothat]

Well, if it's been amplified by this castle's atmosphere...

[freewill_e]

The castle certainly has its own atmosphere. Every breath you take, you breathe out some silly magic.

Oh, stuff it, at least I haven't resigned myself to the prattle of the castle ~BEING ALIVE~ and sadistic.

[freewill_e]

Sometimes it feels that way, though. And alive can mean sentient, can't it?

[bingotothat]

I refuse to believe in a living castle, no matter how much magic seeps into it over the years.

[freewill_e]

Maybe it isn't living but it certainly has enough secrets about it that we don't know. You might be surprised when cheeks are charms and skulls are spells.
