With the Fairy Tale Book of Fairy Tales now locked safely away in the Department of Mysteries, students and staff alike looked forward to the reset the new term would be.
At the start of term feast, Headmistress Truebridge’s announcement of a Hogwarts Reunion, sponsored by the Board of Governors, had the entire hall buzzing with excitement. The event, also held in the Great Hall, was a huge success and gave one and all a renewed sense of pride in the school. This pride became the foundation for the first ever Cartographers Club at Hogwarts - a club opened to all who wanted to thoroughly explore the thousands-of-years old castle and all its mysterious wonders to create a complete map of the establishment. Club members were joined by esteemed cartographer, Thorbert O. Kenting, and met three times over the course of the term and would continue into the next.
Mysterious things began happening about the castle as students and staff alike began their mapping. The Weasley swamp grew in size and flooded the majority of the first floor. The barrier that had once prevented the living from entering the Spirit Room without the invitation of a ghost vanished on All Hallow’s Eve by a mysterious force that left the ghosts feeling both anxious and rejuvenated. Portraits became more chattery all over the castle and the moving staircases became wild and unpredictable. Passageways that had never been discovered before began appearing, giving students access to easily sneak into the Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff common rooms as well as into Hogsmeade. The Chamber of Secrets was opened for the second time in the last decade and the Room of Requirement became even more obliging and easily accessible.
While the interior of Hogwarts seemed to becoming alive, the events that took place on the grounds this term were quite grim. Fifth year Gryffindor Aegis Dane and Gryffindor prefect Zander Adair had their unauthorized exploration of the Forbidden Forest interrupted by hungry acromantulas who sought to make the pair their lunch. Slytherin third year Gregoire Bastion charged onto the scene and began shouting and shooting spells at the creatures to draw their attention. The giant spiders retaliated and soon centaurs came from the forest to try to protect the children, but to no avail. Just after Professor Quigley, Ravenclaw prefect Gabriel Banner, and Gryffindor prefect Puck Greyvson appeared on the scene, the acromantulas descended upon Bastion and devoured the boy. In the aftermath of the death, an Age Line was placed at the border of the Forest by the Board of Governors, and a mandatory Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson held by the Headmistress herself for all students.
With one student dead, another expelled, and a castle seemingly coming alive right under everyone’s feet, by the end of term, the Hogwarts population was left with a firm reminder of constant vigilance and that no where is safe. Not even Hogwarts.
Stay SAFE, Hogwartians!
