"You've got yourself a deal partner", Janelle said to Zeke. This was good. As long as they didn't have to do any impressions, that is. Now they just had to wait and find out what they would be doing. Whatever it was, it promised to be interesting.

"Bravo, Mister Browne," she said once he had finished. "A mature individual is able to look at how his past shaped him and separate out major and minor influences. I agree with your assessment wholeheartedly." This one would be getting Outstanding on his N.E.W.T. when the time came.

Right, it looked as if most people were in their groups. "Attention back up front, please," she asked. The usual murmurs of sound faded after several moments and she fixed them with a stare so they would heed the directions.

"I have here," she began, then walked over to the lectern at the front of the room, "several different scrolls." Bending, she retrieved a few pieces of parchment and then sent all but one flying out of the classroom with a spell. "Each scroll has one of your professors' surnames upon it. Their family name number corresponds to a different floor of the castle, each one leading you one step further in your scavenger hunt." Another pause to let the whispers die down.

"Calculate each number, then head to the floor it suggests, where you will find your next clue. For the purposes of this exercise, we are counting the ground floor as zero," meaning they were currently on the second floor, not the third. "At the last stop you will see a clue telling you to return to the classroom. If you can give me the correct order of floors you visited, I will not give you homework." Ah, the magic words.

"So without further ado, here is your first clue! Have fun!"


OOC: Class will close Thursday or Friday, so you have several days to get through all the stops (4 including the classroom at the end). Feel free to RP getting lost, finding the number incorrectly, or something else creative! At the end of class, you will PM the links for all the posts you make outside of this thread, including the final order of floors visited.

Janelle could not have an out of the classroom class activity without her designated outside of the classroom partner. And......since she and Zeke were partnered up again, all was well.

Hearing the instructions, Janelle was ready to get to work. Turning to Zeke, she asked, "How do you want to split things up?" There were several ways that they could do it. "Do you want one of us to write the numbers down and the other to add them up? Or we can take turns, I do one clue and you do the next one." Whatever they decided, it was going to be fun.

"I'll look up the Moxley numbers and then we can decide." Janelle turned back to the proper page and began to write down the numbers.
