The Headmaster's speech during the feast had been the first one to have piqued his interest. The locked room situation the most. What was behind it? Why was it locked? How difficult was it going to be to try and break in? The last part of his speech about a school dance had send dread through his entire body. He did not do well in social interactions apart from maybe with Lisa. Speaking of her, he had a feeling she was going to try to convince him to come.

As he entered the classroom deep in thought and with his hands in his robe pockets, Daniel let out a deep sigh before he looked over at the desk to see three boxes. All with different materials. His dark brown eyes moved from the boxes to read the message on the board, giving a quick greeting to the professor as he did so, and wondered what the text had meant. He did not take Latin as a class as of yet but he knew what Fortius meant at least.

Eventually, the Hufflepuff turned and began to find a seat somewhere in the middle of the classroom. Once seated he took out pen from his bag and quietly began to solve the puzzle on his desk.
