Seating and Viewing Area  Stepping outside into the school grounds the night is dark and the wind whistling is the only sound you hear. The cold breeze does not help much either, better keep warm and close as you walk along a path lighten dimly with fire torches. It is likely you may feel spooked, but fear not, soon you will reach your destination. After walking for a few minutes, you begin to see more than just the forest borders and the surrounding grass. Even though the light is to a minimum, you are still able to see what is before you.
To your right there are round tables with numerous chairs at each. There is a buffet table that unlike the rest of the tables is long and rectangle as well as filled with various baked goods to choose from which includes scary looking foods such as mud cups, assorted creepy cupcakes, finger biscuits and jello brains. Eat them if you dare, but do remember this food comes at a price. If you do not pay the jar in the center table 5 sickles, you cannot retrieve any food as it will literally be as if it has been glued to the table. So please pay, we do not ask of too much. Right beside these tables you see an open area of grass that has been filled with sitting stands. This is for you to observe the obstacle participants as they attempt their fearlessness at various stations. You are welcome to grab a seat and cheer your mates on.
The obstacle course, that is on the left across from the seating and viewing area, has four different stations; The Bertie Botts Challenge, The Cockroach Cluster Race, The Chocolate Frog Surprise Pie and The Glue-on-Goo. Each just as exciting as the other and they will each test your fear in various different ways. Of course these too are not for free. At each station there is a turnstile that charges you 2 sickles to play, but if you are wise you will notice that there is a fifth turnstile at the entrance to the obstacle course that is for the course as a whole, as well as it charges 7 sickles for all four obstacles rather than 2 per station.
Are you brave enough to take the challenge or are you here to just watch? Whatever you choose, stay fearless and do enjoy.
