Trixie was clearly not impressed.

Last year. Last opportunity to get the grades she wanted. AND THE RUDDY NEWTS WERE CANCELLED!

The Slytherin, with a massive frown on her face walked into the Potions room and read the instructions for the final as quickly as possible, just so she could get this over and done with and not continue thinking about leaving school with no high qualifications and looking like a complete and utter dunce.

*POUT*

The Head Girl was glad to see that the final involved them getting out of the classroom. Good. She didn't have to speak to anyone. The seventeen Very almost eighteen year old picked up the bag and walked straight out.

Right. Better get something done then hadn't she?

Luin walked into the Potions classroom and picked up one of the bags that were sitting there. She then took a sheet that explained what they needed to get for this scavenger hunt. She nodded to herself, and then looked over at Lafay, "Hello, professor." she then headed out to start looking.

Kita entered the classroom only to find... people were leaving? What? Confused, she walked towards the Professor's desk, looking around as she did so. And then she noticed the bag that had a piece of parchment perched on top it. She frowned and walked towards one of these tables. She picked up the parchment and scanned it. A scavenger hunt? A Potions scavenger hunt? Interesting...

A smile spread across the Puff's face as the word 'FINDERS' came into her head. Turning around, she headed towards the door saying, "See you Professor," as she went.

Hugo skipped in the classroom. A scavenger hunt. Bringeth on! He picked up his bag and left the room.

...

And he was done. Now for some food and some relax time in the common room! He proudly turned in his bag. "Here you go, professor."

Emily re-entered the classroom and presented her bag proudly.
"Thanks Professor. Have a good summer." she smiled leaving the classroom again. She'd see it again in a years time though!

Still a tad upset over not having to take her Potions OWLS. She had studied so hard for that one. She walked into the potions classroom ready to take the final. She was suprised to see a bag and note. She walked to the nearest table that still had a bag. She picked up the paper and read the instructions. The last homework assignment was a wordsearch and now the final exam was a Scavenger hunt! She smiled at Professor Lafay as she left the dungeon to start her potions hunt.

Kurumi had gotten a bit distracted after completing her scavenger hunt - she had some cookies to check on and a few books to return to the library - so she returned to the potions classroom much later than she had intended.

Clutching the bag in her right hand, Kurumi approached Professor Lafay who looked like she did not want to be disturbed. What was it with teachers reading during their final exams? The same had happened in Charms.

"Excuse me, Professor Lafay," Kurumi said in a polite whisper. "I've completed my search. Here is my bag."

She was rather proud of herself for not stuttering through the entire two sentences. Perhaps, as a third year, she wouldn't stutter at all while in front of the Potions Mistress? She could always hope anyway.

Marie couldn't believe finals were already here. That meant she was at the end of her 5th year. The year she should be taking her OWLs. The exams she had studied so hard for all term. The very same exams that were now cancelled thanks to some over inflated hot air bag who thinks he's a Lord. Really, what was the ministry thinking putting that man in charge of whatever he's in charge of.

Shaking all thoughts of the OWL exams out of her head she walked into the potions classroom ready to brew up something. "Hello Professor." She said as she walked past the woman heading towards her customary table in the back of the room.

Plopping onto one of the stools she was ready to get her journal out when she noticed the parchment laying there. Hmm, what was this? A scavenger hunt? Sweet. This final was going to be easier than she ever thought it would be. After reading through the instructions a couple times she grabbed the bag laying there along with her book bag and the parchment. Passing back by Professor Lafay she nodded at her. "Be back in a bit with all this stuff for you."

Yeah, she was so gonna blow through this hunt.

Finals were here, though it wasn't these exams she had been looking forward too. Oh nooo. No, the Owls which she had pretty much died for and became an emotional mess this year...were canceled. Perfect. Just bloody perfect. But, she supposed all that studying would come in handy for THESE finals. Eh.

"Good day Professor." she muttered, not really in the mood to do anything but to get this done. What were they doing? And WHERE was everyone? She was pretty sure she wasn't early to the lesson, nor was she late. Spotting Marie, she was juuuust moving over to her friend when she noticed the bag and note nearby. Then again, there was a few on every table soooo...what was up? Hmm, picking up the parchment, her eyes narrowed before raising in surprise. Was Lafay serious? She wanted them to go on a scavenger hunt?

Scoffing quietly, she grabbed the bag and adjusted her own school back on her shoulder before turning back towards the door. Well, she supposed this was an easy grade. "Hey, Marie...wait up." And what better way to do a scavenger hunt then with a friend?

Just as she was about at the door on her way back out Marie seen Evelyn enter the room. Well now, maybe they could go on this hunt thing together. They could get it done even faster with two of them looking for the stuff. And it appeared maybe Ev thought the same thing.

Standing in the doorway she waited for Ev to get back over to her. "Where's Destiny? We should have her go with us so we can get this done even faster." How epic it would be to have the She-Snakes hunting around the grounds looking for all this stuff. Even if Destiny didn't find one item on her own she was sure to keep the other two girls entertained along the way. "You think we should wait for her?"

Vashti walked into the Potions classroom, prepared and ready to take this Potions final. She'd studied and studied and studied...

Hang on.

Where were all the people taking the final? Surely she wasn't the first one down here, what with the millions of stairs she had to go down from the seventh floor. Hm...

Oh! Her questions were immediately answered though when she noticed the parchment and bag on the table in front of her. Picking it up, she quickly skimmed it, a smile spreading across her face. A scanvenger hunt! How fun! Clutching the paper in one hand and grabbing the bag in the other, Vashti grinned and rushed off to start the hunt.

Oh good, she stopped.

Ohhh where was Destiny? She was pretty sure the girl wasn't sleeping when she left the common room. "I don't know." she shrugged her shoulders, glancing around the room as if she was going to spot the other third of their she-snake group. Huh.

"Yea, we should wait. She'll probably be here any minute." It's not like the girl had forgotten about the final and they'll be standing here for a good hour waiting. Hehe.

Right?

Bwaha!

Destiny couldn't be any happier that those stupid OWL's were cancelled. Sure, she studied and was quite confident that she would have done fairly well on them, but they were stupid. She didn't know why everyone was upset about them. It made NO sense.

But, whatever. They can all be mopey as much as they wanted to be.

"Hello, Professor Lafay!" Destiny SMILED at the woman, hoping to rub some of her happiness off onto her. Ehh, probably wouldn't work.

Skipping past her, she spotted Marie and Evelyn all the way in the back and..what was THAT!?

"What is that!?"

THAT! Those bags. Obviously, Destiny was in too good of a mood to read.

No sooner had Evelyn said Destiny would probably be there any minute and the girl was walking into the room.

Perfect! Now the girls could go on this hunt together. They'd have it done so fast Professor Lafay wouldn't ever realize they had left the room.

Rolling her eyes at Destiny she could't help but laugh. "What's it look like, it's a piece of parchment."

DUH!

Maybe it was a good thing OWLs were cancelled. Destiny would never make it through them if she couldn't even identify parchment. It was also a good thing her and Ev were gonna be with her for this scavenger hunt too. The items would probably jump right out in front of the girl and she wouldn't know what they were.

Speaking of the she-snake...there she was!

And she was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too happy.

Shifting her weight to her other leg, she smiled slightly as her friend came nearer, asking about...what, the bag and parchment? Well, now her smile HAD to turn into a smirk after Marie spoke. "Yea, Destiny." she said, grabbing another bag and parchment off a table nearby and handing it to her. "Do you need your eyes checked?"

Now that they were all here, let the hunt...BEGIN! "So, let's go. I don't want to have to be hunting down this stuff all day." She had other things to doooooo.

Well DUH!

Destiny knew it was a parchment. She just wanted to know what was written on the parchment. Since OWL's were cancelled, she didn't feel like reading so she wanted them, her FRIENDS, to read it to her. But it didn't seem they were going to.

Picking up the parchment, her smile faded some as she read it. A scavenger hunt!? Meaning they were going to have to walk around the WHOLE castle looking for this stuff? Pffft. Destiny's second most hated thing..walking.

"My eyes are perfectly fine." she mumbled, "The Healer said so herself." Tucking the parchment into the bag, she headed towards the door. "We should go..there first."

There meaning outside of the classroom..because she had NO idea what the items were she was looking for.

Bwahahahaha...

Did Destiny need her eyes checked. They could probably get Rae to take her again if needed. Only problem, the girl wasn't here.

PFFFFFT!

So what the healer said her eyes were alright."Well you know, maybe they have changed since you were there last." If Marie didn't hate that place so much now she would take Destiny herself. As it was though she didn't ever plan on going back there if she didn't have to.

Oh how lucky you are little D.

"We should go there? And where would THERE be?" Knowing Destiny it would be wherever she could find chocolate... which was NOT on this list so they would NOT be looking or any today. "Come on, let's head out to the grounds and see what we can find."

Putting her book bag over her shoulder she left the room not bothering to look and see if the other two were following her.

Giggle.

Well thank Merlin Destiny wasn't freaking out or anything. There was no way Evelyn was going to take her back to the hospital wing. Not for eye problems that weren't even real that is.

Hmm, yes, where was there?

The grounds? "Why the grounds?" she asked, following Marie out to the corridor. Would Lafay hide some of the stuff on the grounds? What was on the list that would be on the grounds? Then again, it did say she HID stuff, so who knows. Stuff could be on the grounds.

Hmm..

Nope. Destiny did not need to go back to the Healer. After that trip there, she had been taking extra care of her eyes. She even wore her glasses..once in a while. Except today. She had forgotten them. But, she did have a few carrots at dinner the night before and she washed her eyes out with soap, too!

Her eyes were as healthy as..something healthy!

And to show Marie just how healthy they were, she rolled them in her direction. Unhealthy eyes couldn't do that, could they?

"There! You know..not here, but there." It made PERFECT sense. And see? Marie had the same idea. They were going there and now Evelyn was questioning it. GAH! "Because the grounds are there and there is where we're supposed to go."

Yup.

Making sure she had all her things, Destiny SKIPPED after her friends, making sure to give another SMILE in Lafay's direction.

Cheer up, sourpuss.

After finishing his little scavenging hunt, Cam went back to the Potions classroom, checking back in his bag to see if... yes they were all there. Hopefully, he'd done a good job on it. He better. The castle was a huuuuuuge place, and all that walking killed his feet. After handing everything, he eyed the professor. "See yaaaaa," he sang, and then walked out of the classroom with a sigh of relief. Good thing the Common Room was near the laboratory. He didn't have to do all that walking again.

Caroline came back to the Potions classroom. Tired? Yes. In need of a nap? Yes. Done with Potions Final? Yes. She walked up to Professor lafay's desk and put her bag on the desk. "Here's you go, Professor Lafay." She smiled at her head of house. "That was actually a very enjoyable final exam. Thanks" she smiled again and nodded. She really like Professor Lafay and hoped that she would be there next year. She walked out of the Potions classroom with a grin. Now nap time, she was tired, and had so much to do. but this final was over.

walking in to class just as a few student were reading ther instructions then they just took the bag and left. Mikey grabs his and get on with it

Cherry SKIPPED into the classroom.

"Good morning, prettyprofessormadam." Then the tiny redhead looked at the bagsez and the instructions and BEAAAAMED. So fun. SO FUN!!

!!!

She picked up one of DAAA bagsez and skipped off.

One thing that definitely caught his eye and full attention was the students coming out of the classroom. ZOMY. The students were on strike with Lafay! Aw. Of course Cedric did not like the professor that much, what with the devastating fire fiasco in her first term in Hogwarts and her creepy attitude, but the professor's attitude had actually remarkably improved through the course of 2 years or so. She was much, much nicer this term, let alone the fact that her lesson were very informative and interesting.

Cedric lingered near the entrance of the classroom before he finally composed himself and entered the classroom, finding the professor... and numerous bags. He read the writings, which must be the instructions, inscribed on the board.

HUNT? But he was never that good at hunting! Oh, well.

Putting his bag down on where it needed to be put, he read the instructions once more and left the classroom.

K-Lee came to the class, giving a quick greeting to Professor Lafay. Why were people leaving? Were they finally sick of Lafay? She didn't blame them. Lafay was pretty strict and didn't ever seem to smile, but it seemed pretty odd for them all to jsut leave class.

Oh. K-Lee read a note that explained what was happening. That was kind of a bummer. She had sort of been hoping everyone was giving up on potions and that she wouldn't need to.

Well anyway, she might as well do the task. Picking up a bag, she set off on her task, memorising the instructions.
