| | Historical Riddles & Chocolate Frogs Professor Fergersnout hadn’t given much away on the invitation she had posted on each of the houses noticeboards other than that the students were about to go on a quest that tested their riddle solving abilities and their knowledge of famous witches and wizards.
She had instructed the group, an open invitation to all students at Hogwarts and not just those who enjoyed collecting Wizard Cards, to meet her under an archway in the courtyard where she could presently be found in her usual eccentric attire. The purple pointed hat, a familiar favourite which perfectly matched the wrapper of the chocolate frog she was currently munching away on, sat on top her head and acted as a beacon to arriving students. Her matching robe, made of a thick wool to keep out the February afternoon chill, was wrapped around her body. She had a stack of parchment in her arms that she was clutching closely to her body so as to not spoil the activity to any nosey children who might want to get a hard start. “Come gather here, we’ll start when there’s enough of you to get going.” OOC: Welcome to the History of Magic group activity for the term, this time in association with the Wizard Card Collectors Club. Your character doesn’t need to be a member of the club to get involved, in fact we encourage everyone to partake in a bit of fun. This is NOT a lesson so students can join at any time, uniform is not required and points won’t be awarded for participation. |

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Aryan very much was a part of the Wizard Card Collection Club. He loved collecting the cards, even if he didn’t enjoy eating too much chocolate. His collection was somewhat a medium one, partially thanks to his dad who had given him about a dozen. It consisted of about forty cards but he was proud of it.
Curious about the activity today, he arrived at the Courtyard in extremely high spirits. Professor Fergersnout was easy to locate as always due to her bright and eye-catching clothing. The woman in the pretty purple hat and robe {one could think of her as a human Chocolate Frog wrapper}received a bubbly finger wiggle-wave in greeting as he moved to ‘gather’ as she had instructed. |

| YesJess! | Captain Goggles | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers Emma was very much NOT in the Wizard Card Collection Club. It wasn't that she didn't collect the cards, because she was pretty sure everyone she knew collected them. But she never felt she was an avid enough fan to join the club. She was more the type to casually collect cards, rather than try to get 'em all. It seemed far too exhausting for hyperactive brain to sort out which ones she needed or didn't need.
And yet the announcement was intriguing enough to get her attention. Heading out to the courtyard, the third year smiled warmly at her head of house, along with Aryan too. Were they meant to bring their card collection to this gathering? Now that she was thinking about it, she didn't recall anything on the notice so perhaps not.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Hadleigh Renee Paton (DarkGreen) Slytherin Graduated Hogwarts RPG Name: Bryony Rose Paton (#FF69B4) Slytherin Third Year x12
| Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium This third year wasn't exactly a chocolate frog card collector, however, she was a chocolate frog eater. This always meant that whenever she ate one, her cards were always up for dibs. Usually to Aryan first if she happened to come across one he didn't already have in his collection. Sharing was caring, after all.
One did have to be a member of the Wizard Card Collection Club to attend this thing, the invites she had told her so. Which was why she at the given time, Bry slipped her way across the grounds towards the brightly dressed Professor. "Hello Professor!" She chirped happily, wiggling her fingers in greeting. "Hiya, Ary! Hi, Emma!" A smile was given to each of them as she stopped to stand beside Ary, bouncing on her toes.

| HeadGirlMC | Treddie & Trixiver <3 | Copy Girl | Katie's Ickle Minion | I love YOU more There was a brief moment of concern that Professor Fergersnout had written the wrong date, or the wrong time, or mixed up her meeting points in her notice but all those thoughts were quickly washed away as a small group of students joined her. She was pleased that the young ones were all interested enough in the subject to donate their attention, although she hoped that the fun aspect would be persuasive enough anyway. “Good afternoon Mr Atreyu-Rehman, Miss Montmorency, Miss Paton. I hope you all have your thinking hats on.” Or was it caps? These muggle sayings sometimes got a little confuddled in her head. “I have here a little puzzle for you all, or rather a set of riddles to complete. Your mission is to figure out the answers to these riddles, of which the first letter of each will spell out the next location to meet me at. The answers are all historical figures that you may find on a chocolate frog card.” She handed the students their parchments and a fun little chocolate frog themed pen to write their answers down. “Some of these may be a little harder than others so please feel free to work in a group or ask me for a clue if you need it. You have around 30 minutes before I’ll head to the next location.” OOC: Thank you for joining our fun activity. You have around 60 hours to complete this first set of riddles. Although the next location will be elsewhere in the grounds, we’ll keep all activity to this thread.

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Ary didn’t think that they had to bring along their card collection. In any case, he hadn’t so Emma was not the only one cardless. “Hi, Emma,’’ he greeted her warmly. Just at that moment, Bry got there. When she stepped beside him, he nudged her, smiling brightly as he did so. Hi, Bry! He was glad you made it on time. “My thinking cap’s on, Professor,” the third year reassured the woman. It was always on, actually, even if it obviously could not be seen. How else was he to survive all these lessons? It was clear that he’d be needing that proverbial cap more than ever today because while the activity sounded exciting, it was also clear that he’d be using a lot of brain cells today.
After collecting a riddle sheet, Ary asked the two girls, “Shall we work together?” While waiting for the answers, he happened to glance at the first clue, the one with the mention of a sword. “The first answer’s Gryffindor, obviously.” How’s that for using his cap? |
