Having spent six years in Hogwarts, it did seem odd to see the Whomping Willow too still on a snowy day like today. If it is too stiff for your liking, then perhaps it would be wise not to trust the tree’s peaceful disposition.

It earned its infamous name for a reason, of which, you are most familiar with, my dear Hogwartian.

If only the tree had an ounce of gratitude, it would’ve been careful not to send bits and pieces of icicles your way. The hot air charm did its trick, setting the Whomping Willow in motion, as it fended off the warm air that tickled its branches. With a violent shake, more icicles flew in the air – a good chunk of ice hitting a cauldron nearby that was slightly covered with snow. Inside it, you will find a note:

“Well, this isn't a hat. Get on with it! Make your way to the passage beneath the tree!”

The moment you look up from the note, you will see various frozen potion ingredients in glass phials hanging from the Whomping Willow. Oooh.

Oooh. What should you do next, young man? A cauldron? Ingredients hanging from the Willow? Oh, and was that a workstation nearby?
