Lizzie was about to reply to Derf's question about baking when her eyes were
drawn to the mantlepiece of the common room fireplace. There perched in all his ghostly glory was the Fat Friar, she'd only glanced him at the start of term feast.
"Huffle-hunt?" she questioned aloud.

HOLY GALLOPGING GARGOYLES. THAT WAS TODAY!
Not that he had entirely forgotten. Derf had all his preparations done - and the golden glittery mess of paper and paste to prove it on the floor of his dorm which, well, he still needed to clean up but...more on that later.
"Hello, Alfred," the sixth year greeted the ghost with a knowing grin. "I better get going then. I'll be seeing you three very soon though," he added with a wink.
Plus...he needed to get Picketta back to the barn. Reckoned Professor Noble would not take well to her being in attendance to the pa...to WHATEVER it was the Hufflepuff leaders had planned.
Hoo-hoo! He was looking forward to this event indeed. The Friar drifted across the common room, closer to where the students were sat. They were going to come join in the fun, right?
"Indeed, Lizzie!" He grinned.
"A scavenger hunt, of sorts. All should become clear veeeery shortly."
But they couldn't kick off just yet, because young Derf had somewhere to be!
"You better indeed, Derf. Hopefully we won't be too far behind!" He nodded at the Prefect, before looking to Josie and Lizzie.
"Could one of you get the chocolate frog card on the mantlepiece for me?"
