It was a busy morning, first you had the Herbology and then the Transfigurations. Transfigurations proved to be a class you are not so good in during your time in Hogwarts. You are still yet to transfigure anything successfully.

Just after the lunch you have a meeting with your distant and older cousin Alfred. You meet with him at the outside grounds with a nice view of the Lake. The weather is starting to get cold and it seems it will rain later today.

Alfred looks like a normal guy. He is wearing his Hufflepuff robes and some extra scarves for the find. He doesn't look like your father or your uncle, or you think so at least. You meet awkwardly and start talking about general things like the weather and the classes. You learn that his mother and father are both working in the St.Mungo as a healer and he also wants to be a healer when he is done with his studies. He asks you what do you want to be when you are finished. "You should plan this stuff you know... you need certain grades at certain classes for the job you want."

>>42923436
"I am not sure yet. I like potions. Also magical creatures... I think something about this stuff...maybe even teaching about it here...I don't know." Alfred just smiles and says it's a big part of the profession Healer to know about potions and potioneering. He tells you he can teach you some "cool" potions if you like later but now he needs to run for his class. He tells you maybe his parents will also come to your house for the Christmas dinner but he is not sure.

>Ask something to your cousin before he leaves
>See you soon!

>>42923132
>I want to work in the Ministry about Magical Creatures

>>42923509

Potions and magical creatures? Nigga, sounds like you want to make wands.

>>42923509
>See you soon!

>>42923509

>Ask something to your cousin before he leaves

Ask him if he knows anything about that magical creature our DADA teacher told us to find out about. Get dat third year knowledge. Hell even if he doesn't know shit he's still got that nerd blood; he'll probably know where to find out.

>>42923638
"Hinkypunks? Strange I was just reading about this the other day. Check for the book called "Marsh Dwellers" in the library. It has lot of information about this kind of creatures. "See you soon, John! It's nice to have someone from the family here." He smiles and leaves.

You also leave for the Charms class with the Professor Flitwick, he teaches the class about some strange magical alphabets that you find boring. When you return to the Ravenclaw Area you find that you have received a letter. It's from your mother.

"Dear John,

I am very happy to hear you made it into the Quidditch team! I am looking forward to hear about your success in the team. I have never played as a Seeker so I can not help you with that, but I am sure you will prove to be excellent at it. There will be a surprise for you at home when you come back for the Christmas. Enjoy your days and do not neglect your studies.

Love, Mom"

Potions require wand work.

Yeah

>>42924049
http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_and_the_Tabletop_RPG

Our classes will bring us up to Skill Rank 1 in the subjects we are taking at the end of year 1, we can study to learn other skills or get ahead of the curve. We actually learn nothing from Potions and Herbology class

>>42924124
When do we get exposed to coffee, so that we can power through all-nighters studying and doing extra credit work?

>>42924167

Year 4 potions.

>>42924154
This is kind of strange of the system. I mean than after 1 year it is useless to have any advantage. I think I will treat them as advancing to skill 2.

or
>Go to library to get the book on Hinkypunks

Sharing information on the Goblin or Hinkypunks with your classmates is totally up to you.

>>42924211
Doesn't that make studying skills we have classes in LESS valuable? +1 Skill Rank is the domain of higher-level classes, while lower level ones just say "Up to Rank X"

I kind of like it like that

>>42924227
>Go to library to get the book on Hinkypunks
We can be the bringer of good grades and answer sheets to our friends.

>>42924227

Study dem Hinkypunks, son. Gotta keep your nerd game strong.

>>42924154
Just like my real life school.

Considering it is hogwarts, we should probably just spend all our time on DADA. Although, I've always thought charms was the most useful and transfiguration oddly specific. So unless we want animagus, it is maybe a dump stat.

>>42924124
So does studying with our friends count as persuasion or learning that skill, or both, or half to each?

>>42924227
Study with Anya

>>42924245
Well it's because the classes are fixed to a degree, they do not teach you anything more than what is expected. So only way to raise them more should be independent studies.

>>42924227
>>Go to library to get the book on Hinkypunks

>>42924288
>>42924263
>>42924248
You head to the library and check out the book your cousin told you about. It has lot of information on creatures that live in marshes and bogs from hags, hinkypunks, imps to marsh ogres and will-o-wisps.

You read all there is on the Hinkypunks and you think you quite know anything that is to be known about them. Anya looks quite interested also with the book and asks you if she can also check it out. You leave it to her.

Two day passes and now you are once again back in the Potions class that is in common with the Slytherin. To your surprise David is in the class. He looks pale and a bit slow but in general he looks okay. He must have been treated well. Professor Snape is as usual and just tells you about how Potions are an art that most of you will probably never master and lack any kind of intelligence and then he gives you a task to brew a Herbicide potion. It is used to kill and destroy plants. The ingredients are ready in the stores and you just need to brew it.

He takes 5 points from Ravenclaw after Valdis makes a comment on how the smell of the potion is similar to the smell of a troll's fart.

>>42924610
No it's more, this should be the fifth week.

>>42924569
You follow the book's instructions but with the recent things in your mind, like the prophecy and goblins and quidditch you feel distracted. In the end your potion doesn't look good at all. Well you can't be successful every time...

The class dismisses and Professor Snape calls David to his side when the others are leaving. You are free to do what you want until the evening.

>Feel free to discuss

>>42924738
You get +1 to a stat at the end of each year

>>42924753
Brew an Herbicide potion, We're not stopping till we get it right!

>>42924753
>That feel when you make a good roll
>Then the second roll totally fucks it up

Wait for Dave. See if he's OK.

>>42924753
Attempt to get the potion right this time, and tell our friends about the book on hinkypunks.

>>42924753
>>42924775

Make that herbicide potion. Just 'cause you fuck up doesn't mean anything. If you give up then it means something.

>>42924738
Well if I got it right, it takes 60 hours to raise an easy skill from 0 to 1. You get 3 hours by attending the class every week. Then the rest is up to how much you study.

You can also reduce the time as Intelligence x 10 and also by pay any number of galleons up to your Spirit score to reduce the study time by 10 for each galleon spent.

Persuasion is gained by spending social time instead of studying.

And you should get 1 attribute point every year if I remember correctly.

>>42924760

So you're saying that by the end of year four we could be MAX NERD.

>>42924818
Can we get a tutor for over the summer?

So we don't lose our brain gainz?

>>42924775
>>42924794
>>42924809
You are not defeated. You want to make this potion right. You take some of the ingredients with you and get more from the Herbology class and start preparing them.

Our lack of Finesse is hurting us so badly in potions

>>42924941
Third time's the charm!

>>42924941
Goddamn, we are sucking this session.

>>42924941
>You needed a 10 you got a 9

You start preparing the ingredients, you get some hurklump juice, some strange herbs, lionfish spines and some flobberworm mucus. But this mucus is impossible to dice as the book suggests. You just end up destroying your ingredient. Today is not your day for brewing potions it seems. You return to the Ravenclaw common area after dinner and find Anya looking worried. "Have you seen Glenn?" she asks.

>No why?
>Yeah (lie)
>Other

>>42924941
That's why I like 3 rolls over DC great succes 2 normal success 1 normal failure and 0 severe failure

It's a 70 percent success rate

If we fail a third time in a row we are dropping out and learning to flip burgers

>>42925047

No. Sorry. I got to brew this potion. If he's not around for dinner I'll help you look for him.

You say you don't know where is he and that you need to brew a potion. You leave Anya in the common room and head upstairs to an empty room to practice your potion. Half hour passes and you are trying to prepare the ingredients once again.

FINALLY

Part of me wonders if Snape is going to be impressed at the time and effort we put in to learn this potion or just think that we're retarded because it took us a whole goddamn day.

>>42925577
Finally once you start putting the ingredients in you feel like in control again. You put them by one by, stir the potion properly and concentrate on your wandwork and after two hours you have a disgusting smelling and disgusting looking but perfectly made Herbicide potion to use as you please. You can take a vial and dump the rest or do something else.

>You have learned about the Herbicide Potion

>>42925665
>Vial them up. Keep some for ourselves and one as presentation for Snape.

Evil plants might attack us guys. Keep some in reserve.

>>42925665

Feed Cordy then goo look for David if he still hasn't been found.

Reassure bee that we aren't trying to kill ALL THE FOOD.

>>42925659
It's Snape; of course we're an idiot compared to his brilliance.

And, though unpalatable, he really is just that good at potions.

>>42925665
Put it all in vials, so that we have extras and we can present one to Professor Snape for inspection.

Then feed Cordelia and go help Anya look for Glenn.

>>42925691
We should ask his advice for DADA.
Guy wants that class so bad it hurts.

Plus every DADA teacher never lasts more than a year, while we got Snape every year.

If we got on his...less grumpy side.

>>42925704

This. This shit right here. This is the good shit.

>>42925704
Check the Divination Room.

>>42925139
>>I can go look for him

You store the potion in several vials and you are planning to present one to the Professor Snape. You head down to see just in time that Anya entering the Common Room from outside. She looks completely devastated. Her curly hair looks wet and her face looks red.

"It's Glenn! He is hurt. He is in the Hospital Wing now. Professor Sprout found him near the forest!"

so we ignored Glenn to make a potion good work guys

>>42925788

Goddammit Glenn you dumb son of a bitch. Fuck. Guess we got to take a trip into the forest to find out what this motherfucker was looking for.

Anya you know how to use a shotgun, right? , Your parents owned a small bookstore,

>>42925788
"Can we go see him? Did the professor say why he was there?"

Wow, way to go being a shitty friend, guys.

>>42925803
>/tg/ decision making

>>42925803
Are you saying friends are more important than studying and grades?

Well. Maybe our pureblood ravenclaw member isn't as rounded as we thought? Kids gotta work on stuff.

>>42925866
Yes

>>42925866

Disregard Classmates. Acquire Grades.

>>42925851
Anya is 11, and this being England, she is very unlikely to have experience with a shotgun, nor would her parent's store have one.
And even then, with the wards around Hogwart's, we couldn't use one.

Is there a way we can make a belt or something to put vials of potions in? Hide it under our cloak and put out potions whenever we need.

Also we adopt a Bee superhero personae.
With Glenn as our Raven Claw sidekick.

Anya can be Queen Bee...

>>42925976

Well shit, I guess we're going into the forest unarmed.

>>42925984
Yes to the first line

Less yes to the others

This is brilliant and I love being the Hermione of the group

>10/10 would abandon friend to unknown fate again

>>42925984
You can make a belt like this.

>>42925857
"No...they do not know. Professor Sprout was just there to bring some herbs. She says she found her on the ground, bleeding. I..I don't know." She gets teared up. "I just hope he is okay. They don't let visitors. Last thing Glenn told me was he was going to study in the Ravenclaw. I don't know why he went there."

>>42925334

Oh well, maybe we could still spend a semester studying abroad. and at the same time we can spend a semester studying a broad.

Place your bets people

>Werewolf
>Vampire
>Goblin
>His own goddamn stupidity

>>42926071
K.

Potion Belt will be my next vote.

Might wanna talk to someone who knows that stuff.

Or a book.

>>42926088
All four.

>>42926088
Bat animagus, not a vampire.

>>42926071
He was going to the Ravenclaw Common Room?
When was this?

>>42926119
S'what I bet.

Should learn about vampires anyway.
Good info for if we do run into one or two.

>>42926071
Let's go to Professor Sprout to ask about Glenn. Maybe she knows more, or she can get us in to see Glenn.

>>42926143
What do you mean if we run into one or two?

We will never stop studying and as such will never meet anything like that

>>42926088
Nargles

>>42926088
Gytrash probably.

He probably panicked and forgot to use lumos.

>>42926140
"After the potions class. He told me he will study something about Herbology. But when I come here he was already left. What do you think happened to him? He is the second victim?" She asks teary eyed.

>Yes I think so
>Yes and I will stop this
>I have no idea
>No he must have been hurt by something in the forest
>No I think a Goblin might have hurt him
>Other

>>42926374
>He could bee
>Let her hold Cordy

>>42926374
>Other: We shouldn't jump to conclusions. We should talk with David to find out what happened to him first.
Let her pet Cordelia, its a very calming action.

>>42926374

"Here. Just pet the magic bee. Everything will be fine."

Prepare for forest adventure. Good thing we have all this plant killer.

>>42926437

>>42926374
>>I have no idea
But we should tell a teacher about the prophecy now though

>>42926534

>Trusting Hogwarts teachers with anything.

Jesus it's like you want things to get worse.

>>42926397
>>42926437
>>42926443
>>42926460
You sit down at the table, not many students around at this time but you can see some two older girls gossiping near the fire without caring about you.

Cordelia flies around and you take her and pet her before giving her to Anya. She starts petting her and seems to be calming down. "It has to be the prophecy. He said someone will get hurt in two weeks. And someone did. Him. Maybe he finished his study and wanted to go back to the Herbology class to bring something...I don't know... and got attacked on the way. I have no idea. They didn't let us talk with any teacher and just sent us to our beds."

You say that you should also talk to the David, to Anya. She nods. "If it's the same thing that hurt them...But what if it isn't? And I saw David after the class. He was just telling some students how he doesn't remember much other than taking a walk near the lake."

>>42926729
Let's put our Ravenclaw intellect to use.
What commonalities do the two attacks have?
Time of day?
Any wounds or scars left on the victims?
Anything that they might have had on them at the time of the attacks?

>>42926813
Both happened outside of the castle, near the forest or the lake, evening, not big or visible wounds (at least as far as you know).

Tim walks down from the stairs. "Only Valdis is sleeping in the room. What's going on?" After you tell him the events he seems excited. "What are we waiting for? Let's go to see Glenn."

>Woah calm down it's illegal to go out after dinner
>It can be dangerous
>Yes
>Other

>>42926934
>Yes

fuk da police

>>42926934
>Woah calm down it's illegal to go out after dinner
W were able to get Glenn's herbs by cleverness and patience.
Use our head, think things through, make a plan, and then execute it.

>>42926934
Can we take Vladis to the forest so he can stop losing us fucking points.

>Yes

>>42926984
>>42927046
We don't even know where in the forest that Glenn was found, and you want to go out there at night?
And you're taking Valdis' suggestion to go? What the fuck is wrong with you, that you'd follow the suggestion of our class fuckup?

>>42927131
How can one person be so wrong?

The question is leaving to visit Glenn in the hospital wing, and Valdis is asleep. Tim suggested it.

finally site is back?

>>42927221
looks like it

>>42926934
>Yes

>>42927171
Yes, but it's still true that we have always tried to come up with safer plans than running headlong into trouble like a Gryffindor.
It's what got us an extra credit project and brownie points with Professor Sprout rather than potentially getting caught and in trouble.

>>42926934
>Yes

>>42926984
>>42927046
>>42927273
>>42927342
Do we have a plan? An excuse to be out at night? A way to evade Argus? Do we even know where in the infirmary Glenn is sleeping?

>>42927368
No, no, no and no. We're not the greatest planners. What we lack in planning we make up for with magic.

>>42926984
>>42927046
>>42927273
>>42927342

"Tim is right. Let's go to check how is Glenn!" you say standing up.

"But it's not allowed to wander in the castle at this time." Anya says, petting Cordy. "Yet...it's Glenn. We have to see. I am in."

Tim smiles. "Let's check our friend."

Anya runs upstairs really quick to get a jacket and Tim runs to get his wand. You already have your wand with you.

>Get something else
>Let's go

>>42927405
>Get something else
Bring Cordelia if she's awake, get that spy bee going.

>>42927401
>We're not the greatest planners.
But we did just that when we told Glenn he was stupid for thinking of breaking into Sprout's materials cabinet, and we were able to trick her into giving us what we needed.

It's just pure laziness and stupidity on the part of players like you.

>>42927405

Our invisibility cloak? nope. All we got is this lousy garlic.

>>42927405
>>42927415
Good idea.

>>42927405
Bring...
I dunno. Our broom.

>>42927429
Oh wow, that's a terrible assumption to make, hostility is a shitty thing to show.

>>42927405
>Get something else
Switch out of our robes and into generic clothing, with a jacket if we have one. Make sure that there's nothing that could lead back to us or Ravenclaw.

Don't bring Cordelia because her buzzing will give her away, and she is unique to us and an easily identifiable familiar.

>>42927405

Put Cordy back in her cage with some sugar water.
Do we have any of that wiggenweld potion we learned to make? Take that.

>>42927459
You currently only have lot of vials of Herbicide and one vial of Volubilis which alters the voice of the drinker.

>>42927456
We've always been careful before, we haven't run into anything without thinking of a better way, and we've been careful until now about making baseless accusations or assumptions.

Since you didn't try to come up with a better way to see Glenn than taking the most direct action, what else could it be than being too lazy to try to think of an alternative.

>Take Cordy or not?

>>42927489

Might as well, bring each of the potions and the garlic. I don't want to bring our broom and break/lose it.

>>42927489
Doesn't that only remove accents, rather than actually changing what our voice sounds like?

>>42927577
No.

>>42927577

Leave her. We haven't trained her to do anything!

>>42927590
No that was another potion

Oh, then lets bring it along, just in case we need to use it.

You change your clothes and wear your jacket, leave Cordy behind safely put in her cage, take a vial of Volubilis and leave the common area with Tim and Anya.

Anya leads the way to the Hospital Wing. After twenty minutes you manage to reach there. It is dark and cold in the castle. You, luckily didn't caught by anyone. The door is locked.

>>42927756
>Anyone know alohomora?

>>42927756
Pick the lock using our thin, pureblood fingers

>>42927756
alohomora is in our spell book!
we can try spells without practice, we just will probably fail.

Rolled 3 (1d10)

>>42927836
First roll means shit!

>>42927756
If we read far enough into our First Year spellbook, we should have read about the Unlocking Charm in Chapter 7.
Though I doubt we know the proper wand movements for it.

We should have waited to get properly ready for this.

>>42927836
It's not in. You preferred to take the Reparo.

Anya says she will try to unlock the door and that she had learned this spell before. She takes out her wand, seems really stressed, does the movement and says in a low voice, "Alohomora!" For a second nothing happens. Then you hear a click sound. The door unlocks and you enter the infirmary. It is completely dark inside except for the moonlight coming in from the windows. You check all the place and find that there are only two beds occupied. One of them a girl sleeps. The other , Glenn. He seems to be sleeping or unconscious. You examine him, he looks pale and there are red circles under his eyes. Tim says "Look!" and he finds some leaves clenched in Glenn's hand. It's the herb you gave to him. And when he takes it you also see some marks on his wrist. There are four or five strange marks, like deep wounds on his left wrist.

>What to do

>>42927927
Feel the marks on his wrist, wake him up if possible.
I know it's a dick move to wake him up.

>>42927927
Wonder out loud why nobody took the leaves from his hand before this.
I mean, what kind of nurse would overlook that shit?

>>42927927
Examine the marks with Anya. Then ask her to take a look at the girl, and see if she has the same wounds somewhere on her body.

Check Glenn's breathing, and look around for the Nurse's desk and see if there are notes on Glenn's condition.

>>42927927
Wormwood, useful in the Antidote of Common Poisons. Put that Magical Creature lore to work. What creatures find Wormwood anathema?

>>42927964
Then why wake him up?
Why be an asshole when there's no need to be one?

>>42927968
The same one who didn't see Hermione had a paper in her hand when petrified

>>42927927

use knowledge of magical creatures to determine what left the mark!

>>42927964
>>42927975
>>42927990
>>42928054

Anya checks on the girl and declares that she doesn't have any marks or anything and simply seems to be sleeping and with some fever.

When you examine the marks you can clearly see they are bite marks. Two deep ones that indicates two front, larger teeth and two other smaller ones near them.

Tim checks the desks and around but couldn't find anything useful on Glenn's condition. There are only a jar full of raisins next to Glenn's bed, probably brought to fed to him.

"I think we should go now. It seems he is out." says Tim.

>What to do

>>42928204
Get out of here. We can go to the library tomorrow and look up his symptoms to figure out what's wrong.

>>42928204
Ask if anya can relock the door when we leave.

>>42927927

sorry, I meant the Book of Spells we bought for class, but no matter.

Let Glenn sleep. he needs to rest. We need to find out about overdosing on that herb. To the library!

>>42928204
Go back to our rooms and try not to have left evidence of us being here

>>42928204
>Make a quick sketch of the bite.

>Find Hagrid

>>42928204
Get out and lock the door. Research the bite later

You head out of the room while Anya is trying to lock the door. "But what was those leaves?" Tim wonders a loud. You just realize they do not know. You tell them you give Glenn this herb to help with his divination skills, you didn't know what they were for before. After locking the door Anya also tells Tim about the prophecy. It seems he is also in this now.

Three of you walk towards the stairs and pass the corridor where you encountered that goblin. Anya whispers "We have to be extra quiet" pointing to a door "This is where Professor Snape stays I think." it is the room you heard someone was talking loudly that night.

You continue a bit more and then just when you take the stairs they change randomly. Now you are once again in a completely foreign corridor. You can hear water dripping from somewhere. Just then you year a loud "THUCK" sound from behind, you turn around and...

>>42928447
You turn your heads to see a strange sight. A short creature, you can't see very well because all the torches in the corridor are not lit. No TWO creatures carrying something. When they see you they drop it with haste. One of them, now you can see a Goblin, orders the other creature in a language you don't understand. He then does some weird hand movements and the chest disappears. And quickly after this starts running away very fast.

The creature starts coming towards you, now you can see it's a Doxy.

>What to do

>>42928582
Touch up where that chest was, invisibility hopefully

>>42928582
What does our character knows about Doxy?

>>42928582
Cast the Verdimillious charm on it

>>42928614
You know A LOT thanks to the DADA Professors home work in the first week.You know they are also venomous. It is possible to fend off a Doxy with simple offensive spells.

>>42928582
We studied them.

We don't know knock back.

But we do know Wingardium Leviosa!

Knock one into the other!

>>42928582
We don't know the Knockback jinx, so try to cast the Verdimillious charm against it.

>>42928689
>You know they are venomous
Doesn't sound like we know a lot

>>42928724
You know if they bite you, you get poisoned and must get an antidote quickly.

>>42928626
>>42928702
You take out your wand and cast the Verdimillious charm.

You aim at the Doxy and cast the charm. Weak green sparkles come out of your want, surprising the Doxy for a second but don't seem to hurt him much. Tim next to you shouts "Fumos!" suddenly a thich dark smoke starts coming out of his wand. Just in a few seconds all the corridor is full of smoke. You can't see neither Tim nor the Doxy or Anya. You hear Anya casting something but you don't understand exactly what. Complete messed up chaos in the corridor.

>What to do

>>42929033
>Nox!

>>42929033
GTFO

Avifors, and hope the birds flight can dissipate the smoke.
Or the Verdimillious charm, but thia time for light.

If this doesn't work, just shout "Run" and get out of there. We got no dog in this fight.

>>42929406
Running is kind of hard when we can't see where we're going and have no idea where in the castle we are.

>>42929439

Don't bother me with details!

Just try to avoid walls. We can ask a picture later.

>>42929396
You cast your spell while at the same time Anya casts "Lumos!". Your spell hits a torch near by on the wall and turns it into a small bat. You can see the light from Anya's wand and Tim shouts "Lets get out of here!" Your bat seems to be a bit out of your control just dives near where you imagine the Doxy is. "Damned thing tried to catch me!" Tim is saying, panting while you three are running away. You are quite afraid thinking what would happen if a teacher right now found you, running around, casting spells, breaking and entering the infirmary, they would take all your points...hell they would expel you maybe!

After some time of running that you think took maybe all the eternity you reach the Ravenclaw Tower safely without knowing what happened to the Doxy back there.

You enter the common room, there is nobody here and the fire is almost died in the fireplace too. It is quite late. "What the hell was that thing and the other one??" Tim asks completely shaken. "What is going on here?"

>Tell them about the Goblin
>I have no idea
>Other

>>42929515
>Tell them about the Goblin

>>42929515
>Tell them about the Goblin

>>42929515
>>Tell them about the Goblin

>>42929552
>>42929567
You tell them about your first encounter with the Goblin and your research on it. "I never heard of Goblins wandering in Hogwarts before" Tim says. Anya doesn't seem to know much about it but she promises to study it and find something. "He seemed to order the Doxy to attack us. Other than that I don't know what, he ran away quickly." she says. "But I have maybe an idea on Glenn... I think maybe he tried to see more with the herbs to prevent the attack on another victim in his prophecy. And maybe whatever it made him see, he went out. And then got attacked. Why would he go out otherwise with some leaves?"

>No something doesn't add up
>I have no idea
>I think you might be on to something
>Other

>>42929616
Express doubts.
"He didnt hear his own prophecy, didn't see whatever he "saw" when making it. He had to rely on someone else to tell him he even made one."

>>42929616
>No something doesn't add up
Why would he take the leaves with him if he already used them to brew the needed tea?
No, that doesn't make much sense.

>>42929674
+1

>>42929669
>>42929674
>>42929706
You shake your head. "No...something doesn't add up. Why would he take the leaves with him if he already brew and consumed the tea? I am not sure of this, Anya." She just shrugs.

"Whatever it is it needs to wait until the morning" Tim says and heads to bed. "We shall visit Glenn tomorrow again, this time in normal hours...if they let us." says Anya, tries to smile and tells you good night. You are left alone looking outside at the dark lake that looks like a completely perfectly polished rock surface, hiding all the things underneath.

You try to think about all the things but you are just too tired. You head to sleep.

>Thanks everyone for joining today's quest. I'll be lurking just a bit more for chitchat.

>>42929616
>No something doesn't add up

>>42929809
That was fun. I'm glad we are playing a character rather than /tg/'s usual "Hurr rational justasplanned"

Out of curiosity which thread was the most fun for you so far?

>>42929891
The part where we found out e are a magus

joke aside. quidditch tryouts

>>42929891
The first or second one, i forget.
It was enjoyable to upset anon by constantly suggesting that we become unreasonably nervous and end up making ourself feel sick.

>>42929891

I liked interacting with our fellow first years.

>Anya being best girl
>Alba being a jock
>Glenn being a loveable moron
>Vladis being an insufferable moron

>>42930010
Valdis is really good at astronomy

I almost caught it, dammit.

>>42930143

>>42929891
4th session.
Our plans worked out, we got extra credit, and ended up being a natural at flying and quidditch against our initial wishes.

>>42930178
You know what, third year that would be a GREAT thing to get access to. Heck, we might be able to jury-rig one when we get older.

>>42930309
Well you know what they say about Quidditch..."it's genetic"

>>42930334
Oh just more chaos, why not.

To me the most fun aspect is that everything about the character was more or less randomly created and developed.

I thought quidditch would be an unnecessary distraction from our studies. But since we are in, we better practice obsessively like for everything else.

>>42930752
Haha this is awesome. Find a work for John in the Space Department in the Mysteries in Ministry.
