The History of Magic Classroom was not in its normal state, that was for sure.
As you walk into the classroom the first thing you notice is how squared off the room appears to be. No Scabior in sight, no windows, no desks or chairs, and a large wall blocking off the rest of the class room that had never been there before. In fact, the room was barely big enough to fit everyone standing up.
As you glance around the extremely small room a message appears on the wall across from you.
You will need multiple pieces of parchment and something to write with.
OOC: Class will officially begin sometime tomorrow. Class has started!! Please familiarize yourself with the updated classroom rules. Remember that all SS and RPG rules apply.
Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite
Was it just her or was the room getting smaller? Seriously? How could the Professor lock them all in here like this?! Someone could squish her!!! She didn't wanna get squished!!!
It was times like these that one was required to take deep breaths. No one would step on her because they all had eyes and could clearly see her. Nevermind the fact that some kids were already getting squished; she was different, she was Alexa Cambridge afterall!
She looked on curiously at the riddle that everyone seemed to be busting their brains on. She wouldn't have bothered trying seeing as she never seemed to have the right answer but then it said that it was the only way she'd be able to get through. Greeeeaaat. So now she'd have to keep guessing the wrong answer until common sense kicked in and all that. Just great!
Her eyes narrowed as she focused on the riddle...
Hmm...
Hmmmmmmm....
SPOILER!!: Riddle

Beside the door the old message is suddenly replaced with a new one:
The object of todays lesson to to make it out of the classroom through use of your logic. You will go through a number of different rooms, each with their own riddles. The answer to each riddle should be placed on a piece of paper and pushed through the mail slot. If your answer is right then you will be allowed entry to the next room. If your answer is wrong, you will be deflected back into your current room, in other words you continue trying. The first person to the last room is excused from homework. Do not share your answers. Any person who shares an answer will be stuck in the room until the first person reaches the last room. If any serious problems occur knock hard on the wall behind you three times.
Enjoy.
-Professor Scabior
Riddle 1:
We are not wizards.
We are not witches.
We are all magical beings.
At first when you see us,
You may have thoughts of fleeing.
And if you feel the need to touch us for a bit of thrill,
You will find yourself overcome with a little chill.
We all look different from each other,
Yet have a silvery glow.
What are we exactly?
You see us every day, you really ought to know.
OOC: The first person to reach the last room will also receive maximum points from the homework they were excused from. Place your answers in spoilers and NO CHEATING GUYS! I will post next to tell you if you are right or wrong, and if you are right I will give you the next riddle and it will continue on like that. Any questions just VM or PM me!
She continued staring at it for a bit more. Hmmmmmmmm...and everyone else was getting it too! Le gasp! She had to think smarter. Seen them everyday...silvery glow...chill...
It wasn't a freezer....no...she didn't see those everyday...chill...? CHILL....? Hmmmm...--
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!
Feeling more than a little silly she snickered to herself before scribbling on a parchment and shoving it through the mail slot thingy.
SPOILER!!: Parchment

Hehehe, now she just felt clever.

When the door shut behind them without professor Scabior coming in, Sophie's first thought was that something was wrong. But once the other door appeared she felt a little better. Maybe that was all planned out? Hopefully it was.
Oh? Riddles! Sounded kind of cool. Her father was the one who loved riddles, though. Sophie sometimes wasn't patient enough to solve them. But oh well, this could be fun!
The first one wasn't that difficult, actually. The badger wrote down on a piece of parchment the first answer that popped into her mind and slid it into the mail slot.

Sierra grinned to herself as she sat back and read over the riddle. Hmm. Maybe she just read it too fast or something, because...everyone else seemed to be writing, and she was just...well, lost. Her eyebrows furrowed inward as she read the riddle again.
Magical beings...thoughts of fleeing? A Nundu? ...
No. They didn't see Nundus everyday, and Sierra didn't think they were Silver. A chill... OH! Sierra quickly picked up her quill and scribbled down the answer. Or, what she thought was the answer...

Cora smiled as Eliza moved towards her, happy to see her friend once again after quite some time. Focusing on the question, Cora found it rather obvious, and so wrote on the parchment. She was a bit delayed since she was distracted by those around her.
One of the last ones to finish apparently, she wrote on parchment.

Hannah was not good with puzzle type things. She found them quite boring actually. She read the first one and sighed in relief. This one was easy at least.

So he carefully wrote on the parchment. He got up, took a deep breath, gathered his nerves, and walked over to the slot.
Finally he slid it in.....waiting for something to happen.

Hadn't they done that once or twice for a schoolwide challange?
Nevertheless, Gideon was ready to take it up. He just hoped they weren't in for any of the professor's usual behavior that tended to lean toward the harsh. he read through the riddle a couple of times before quietly mussing over it in his head. They had been told not to share after all.
Magical beings....cold...scary at times.
OF COURSE! The very same creatures who had been causing havoc this term.
Gideon tore a piece of paper from his parchment and scribbled down his answer. He then moved the best he could in the crowd and slipped his answer in the slot. There, now all he had to do was wait until he was given a response.

Ravenclaws had to solve riddles all the time to get into their common rooms.
After reading the riddle once over, Milton had the answer already. He scribbled down his answer on the parchment, pushed his way through the crowd and slipped his answer in through the mail slot.

So she read the riddle a few times to herself..she didn't much care about being first...more about being right the first time..better not to rush, no? She yeaaah, she was trying to be ABSOLUTELY sure...but then she..realized that this riddle wasn't too hard, actually.
It was actually really obvious after the line about the chill...and just it all FIT! Elliot smirked to herself as she wrote the answer down, quite aware that she may not have been first..but...she didn't care? Hehehe.

Now...for the riddle. All magical beings...thoughts of fleeing...a little chill...look different...a silvery glow...you see us every day. What in Merlin's name did she see every day that fit that?
She bit her lower lip as she thought, running through random things she usually saw throughout a typical day until...
...Hm. That might be it.
The Gryffindor pulled out a piece of parchment and pencil and quickly wrote down her answer, folded it, and slipped it through the mail slot.

Clutching the piece of parchment tighter, the Ravenclaw frowned.
More so when the message earlier was replaced with a new one. Silently, she read it. Logic, huh? If they had the correct answer then they can go through the next door, if not, they stick around and figure out the riddle. Okay.
First riddle.
Tilting her head a bit, Beezus narrowed her eyes. Scary creatures? Would send chills when touched? Silvery glow?
Grinning slightly to herself, she quickly scribbled down her answer on the parchment before depositing it into the mail slot.

This was even more frightening than before. Just like the other students Renesmee stood still and waited as she watched a message apear besides where the door had been a few moments ago. She read the message and then went through the a riddle a pout slowly forming on her mouth.
Not a wizard nor a witch, but still magical beings. That narrowed it down quite a fair bit already, seeing as not many magical creatures were considered as beings. The fleeing bit? Definitiley something that was possibly scary then. Wait. Chill? That was what had Nessie combine it all together. Or at least she thought she had it. She pouted a few more minutes making her mind whether she was right or not and then scribbled it down on a piece of paper from her bag.
She pushed it through the mail slot and waited.

But by looks of it, she wasn't the only confused one. Ira had taken out many parchments, inwardly groaning that they were gonna be doing lots of note taking. But apparently not. Ira's eyes grew wide, on reading the new message that had appeared with the new door. Make it out of classroom? That was today's lesson? And riddles?
Riddles were meant for Ravenclaws! R for R! They were the ones with the brains. And seniors were more experienced. But.. there was a chance to be excused from homework! Woot! Ira had to go at it!
With a slight frown, Ira carefully read the riddle, trying to make sense. Oh! It was easy. It looked simple enough! Ira quicly scribbled down her answer in the parchment:

taking the parchment with her answer, Ira pushed it ion the mail slot as instructed.

Might want to run when seeing. Silvery glow, see them every day, all different. Addie began to add the facts together in her head. Then she realized that it was easy. Ghosts, duh!
Addie quickly took out her piece of parchment, quickly scratched the answer down with a quill and then pushed through the crowd to slip it in the mailbox.

Elise was a little scared when the door closed and trapped all of them inside. Didn't he know that she wsa claustrophobic? Probably not. Pulling out her parchment and a self-inking quill, Elise stared at the first riddle for a moment.
That was present tense. Meaning that maaaybe they used to be human but weren't anymore? And that they're classified under beings, like humans. Cold? maybe they were vampires of some sort? Elise shook her head, moving on to the next line. Silvery glow? Sounded like a patronus. But there was one more line to be read before she could make a decent guess. Since they saw them everyday, it should be in the castle. And the only beings here should be the students and staff, and the - oh! She'd gotten the answer.
Beaming widely, Elise tore off a scrap of parchment, scribbled her answer and dropped it into the slot.
