Sydney wouldn't mind checking out Sites of Historical Sorcery, not because Professor Fergersnout suggested it as homework, but because she thought it might contain information on that haunted shop she briefly referenced. All she knew about it was the owner went to Azkaban, and the poltergeist was forced to sign a contract. What happened to the shop? What happened to the poltergeist?Hmm… 1890s, chaotic being, contracts. Who did that remind her of?

She watched nonchalantly as the Hogwarts Express model chugged into the station, but her ears perked up at the mention of the Wizarding Wireless Network headquarters. Trains may not interest her, but radio stations certainly did! Did anyone die there when the station was taken over? She wondered. More importantly, did their ghost still haunt the building?

Sydney was still pondering that when she heard the next question. Her thoughts immediately went to the 1890 troll attack orchestrated by Victor Rookwood and a goblin named Ranok… but someone else beat her to it. While she could've added on to that answer with names and dates, she preferred to come up with her own. But what? She couldn't think of any other dark chapters in Hogsmeade's history, and she wasn't about to give a lighthearted, mundane answer!

Suddenly she recalled an incident her mums told her about, and her hand shot up. ”In 2094, several shops in Hogsmeade were vandalized… Dervish and Banges, Honeydukes, Madam Puddifoot's, and Simply Stylish Salon, if I remember correctly. A pro-muggleborn cult was behind it. A few of its members were guests at Hogwarts the year before, and they brainwashed some of the students and professors into acting on their behalf. I think their symbol was a hawk.” Interesting incident, though not the way she'd choose to spread a message!
