As you walk down the first floor corridor headed towards the History of Magic classroom, the faint sounds of music can be heard coming from that direction. It's not all that loud and seems more for the benefit of Professor Glendower as she is putting herself in the proper mindset for class.
Outside the classroom door hangs a large, ornate sign with the message, Make an Entrance. It is the same sign that hung outside the room last year, but she has written in her own flowery cursive the word Respectfully underneath it as she realized that some students needed the reminder. She was all about creativity and individual interpretation, but it was important to be nice too!
Once inside the classroom, you'll find Professor Glendower who might be singing along to the music as she happily dances through the rows of chairs, placing a chocolate frog on each desk. Welcome to History of Magic!
Adi was staring at Angel, running through all the clues she had given so far mentally. Hufflepuff, a woman of power, very, very ancient...Eeep. He was coming up empty. Still, he refused to give up.
Minutes ticked by and Adi hoped Angel wasn't getting impatient or annoyed with him. It wasn't his fault she had chosen a difficult character. "Er...'' he said by way of stalling. His brain was working big time on this one. Suddenly he remembered a name from a couple of the many cards in his collection. "Art... something Lufkin.'' He frowned, seeing the woman's picture from the card in his mind but not her right name. What was that name again? "Artemisia Lufkin! That's it! You're her, aren't you, Angel?'' Oh yeah. The Puffer was sure.
Angel was trying not to roll her eyes at Adi... Seriously he was a Hufflepuff Prefect and he didn't seem to know anything about one of the most famous Hufflepuff ever. She had a feeling Artemisia Lufkin would be totally unhappy after all she went through, most people probably didn't want her to be the Minister of Magic because she was a woman but well she had got the job and done a grand job at it.
Angel was just thinking about falling asleep when Adi suddenly got the right answer. "Yeah that is who I am." Angel beamed. "The FIRST female Minister of Magic." Angel has totally enjoyed being Artemisia could she be her again or wasn't she allowed?

Jasmine hoped so, but honestly, she probably wouldn't have gotten the answer even with that clue.
Looking at Eden's costume again, Jasmine tried to think of who she might be. A Hufflepuff unicorn rights activist? She totally had no idea so she decided to ask more questions, not that it would help. "Are you someone that raises or takes care of unicorns or do you just fight for their rights?" And the answer to that question would help her in what way? Jasmine looked at the board again to scan the names. Unicorns, unicorns, what name went along with unicorns.
Eden squinted at the glitter. Well. it seemed Jasmine wasn't going to guess Eden's person...she knew...that her clues probably weren't that great. She SIGHED and tried to think of what else to say...
"OH. FLOO powder!" she jumped up and down a little because WHOOH she knew what the dude invented! Or was it a woman?! The person was a Ravenclaw, right? "Well--male or female?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. "I'm a male, in case the mustache didn't give it away--though, some females DO have mustaches--" yeah? Like great aunts and stuff.
OKAY.
She glanced at the list of names and squinted...which one of you suckers invented the powder, eh? A few of the names looked familiar...ish. But she was rubbish at remembering names, so, Eden could be VERY wrong. "is it...Kirley Duke?" HMM?
JASMINE HAD QUESTIONS. Eden cleared her throat and thought for a minute. "OKAY. Well. I started Unicorn reservations to keep them aaaallllll safe! So no fighting--I just cared for them and stuff." Was that good enough? She nodded a lot. If ONLY they could look at their books![/QUOTE]
"Yes floo powder", Jasmine said excitedly. "You're halfway there." Then Eden asked whether her person was a man or a woman. Stare. "But I'm wearing a dr......She's a woman." Well that cut the list of potential answers in half. Jasmine thought the woman part was obvious, but.....guess not. This was not going very well. Eden didn't have a clue who she was supposed to be and Jasmine wasn't fairing much better with her guesses. At this rate they'd be guessing until the next History of Magic class.
"No I'm not Kirley Duke", Jasmine said. Then she had an idea. Professor Glendower said they shouldn't reveal their names right away, but she didn't say anything about initials. "I'll give you a big hint. My initials are I.W." That ought to do it right?
Now for her guess. Jasmine vaguely remembered hearing about the unicorn guy, but the name just wouldn't come to her. She decided to take a guess. Looking at Eden, she said, "Are you Oswald Beamish?". Jasmine knew that her guess was random, but it was a guess.

The boy has no idea what kind of shoes they were back in the day, so bedroom slippers will have to do. Getting a miniature dragon toy, and a long staff, Ethan emerged from the back, hunched over depicting a very, very, very old man. Definitely older than Botros!
Now for the voice, yeah? Ahem.
“IN A LAND OF MUGGLE MYTH, AND MAGIC…THE DESTINY OF ARTHUR’S KINGDOM RESTS ON MY SHOULDERS! MY NAME…IS…for you to find out!” His introduction was quickly followed by wheezing and coughs. “Bleeeeeech. It is DIFFICULT to be old!” Cough cough. “BUT I AM…the best wizard…EVER!” Merlin!Ethan tapped the floor with his staff and sauntered slooooooowly towards a familiar looking man. Could it be? COULD IT BE HIS OLD PROFESSOR LOOKING MIGHTY AND POWERFUL!?
Salazar Slytherin’s beard. HE IS ALLLIIIIVAAAH!
Ethan!Merlin eyed each and every one of his classmates, hoping NOT to find Morgan Le Fay. Slytherin’s painted toes. THAT WOMAN was just TOO MUCH. Too much like Agatha. Heh. Ethan!Merlin walked around the classroom, inspecting each and every wizard AFTER his time.
Cue the butt scratch.
The old man was doing weird old man things. Though the old man was really Ethan.
Best Wizard of all huh?
Definitely would have been in HIS house. So no looking down on you old man. Continue on with the butt scratching.

She'd factor this into her ten year plan later.
Cunning. Hard working. The brunette (who was wearing a BLONDE wig) nodded her head. Sounded like a Slytherin to her, ESPECIALLY the cunning bit. Eyebrows were raised as the last clue was cut off and Maddie tilted her head, SQUINTING at Kyroh. But after deciding Herman probably wouldn't be AS curious as she was, she sat back in her chair and tried to look uninterested. "So like, do the people you approve of live here in the castle with you or?" Cool, casual, SO relaxed. Maddie as Herman was just going with the flow, yo. Strum strum strummmm.
"Best MALE lute player." She was a male. For today. For pretend. She had always wondered what it'd be like to be a guy, though. Maybe then her dad... ...Yeah, no. Not going there. Best friend? Kyroh WOULD and Maddie didn't KNOW who Herman's BFF was. She could make it up, though. Just say someone in the band, maybe? Yeah.
"Merton Graves, he's my best mate." ...Yeah. Seemed legit.
AH she was squinting at him! Kyroh squinted BACK because that was so totally what Slytherin would do if someone was giving him LOOKS okay? He was so good at acting. Maybe he could take that up as a job? Though he didn't want to be all mean to people for too long. "Yes. They do. As do the ones I don't approve of-" Kyroh sighed. A large and drawn out sigh that sounded as though all of the air had escaped his lungs. "But they do not live in my part of the castle, luckily enough."
Male? Kyroh giggled but quickly covered his mouth with his hand. Slytherin so didn't do that. Nudging her with his arm he lowered his voice."Told you that all musicians have super long hair." So he HAD to learn how to play SOMETHING if this hair growing thing was going to work.
Yeah and um AHEM. He was Salazar. Not Kyroh. Merton Graves??? As soon as the name left her lips the lightbulb went off in his head. "Verrrry interesting Mr.Wintringham. Herman. Herman Wintringham." That's who she was right right? Blonde hair. Lute. WEIRD SISTERS!?!

Woot. She had a partner, and maybe AJ wouldn't struggle as hard with this activity as she thought she would. The second year looked the other girl up and down. The wig, and the beard was making her wheels turn but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
AJ thought back to the massive amount of chocolate frogs that she had eaten in her young life, and she tried to remember seeing the wizard that resembled the girl before her. Maybe it would be a good idea to just talk it out.
"Okay, so you are obviously old. The beard and the wig say that much about you." OH! "You were a headmaster." He was a headmaster during the time that Harry Potter, her character, was there. He had accomplished so many things and apparently was super popular. What was his name?
It was something unusual. That much she was sure of. "Dumbledee. No... Bumbledore." That wasn't it either. Think, Valentine. Then it hit her like a ton of bricks. "I know." AJ started jumping up and down in place. "You're Dumbledore." Ten points to Gryffindor. No?
It looked like AJ had put on a good Harry Potter performance because the girl got it right on the first try. "That's right. Good job." As far as the lemon drop went... "I'll still take one of those if you don't mind."
AJ turned her attention to the other girl that had joined them. Hmmm... that was a tough one. "Got any hints for us?" Between the two of them they could probably figure this out. "I'm AJ by the way." She was really bad about introducing herself when she first met people.
SPOILER!!: Hady
Just as she was about to introduce herself to the girl (with her real name) another girl about their age walked over dressed in Quidditch robes and holding a broom. It was obvious she was a Quidditch player but Hady wasn't very good with the sport. Possibly the other girl would know? Smiling at the other girl she waved back politely. Giggling she nodded her head in reply. "Yeah I am. I think I may have over did it dressing up." Hady shook the girls hand before offering her a lemon drop as well. "I'm Hady and this is- oh um I'm sorry I haven't gotten your name yet..." Chewing her lip slightly she glanced over at Aubrey.
Maybe the three of them could work together? They might know whom she is but she hadn't guessed who they were just yet though she was sure she knew who Aubrey was. She'd just have a go at it now, might as well. "So how are you fairing today Harry m' boy?" This was said with a look at Aubrey.
Norah grinned at the other two students. "Harry Potter and Dumbledore! It's so perfect you two are working together." She knew all about those two, because duh. Everyone did. She looked down at her Quidditch robes and began acting out her beater-dom once more. Hers wasn't quiiiite so easy, considering HER card hadn't been anyone in about a zillion years, and she hadn't defeated any dark wizards.
"I'm a girl," she began just in case that wasn't obvious, "And all my teammates are girls." She said this in the thickest Welsh accent she could, or at least it was what she THOUGHT was a Welsh accent. It really could have been anything really, but her card had said Welsh so she went with Welsh. Oooh! She turned to AJ and grinned once more, "Your wife played on my team too!" She wasn't sure if anyone would know this, but her father had told her so many stories about Harry Potter that some of the information had to stick. Uhhhh. She didn't have anything else to say, so she began acting out hitting a bludger once more. Geddit?

He pulled those over his head then searched for a wig....here! He set the grey-haired wig on his head and grabbed a pair of old granny glasses to wear too. Beatrix might not have worn glasses since she didn't seem to in the picture, but he thought they totally completed the look.
Next he just needed something to sort of be The Toadstool Tales thing without actually writing that...because that would probably be a little too obvious, wouldn't it? And he didn't want to TOTALLY give it away immediately.
So instead he picked up a piece of parchment and scribbled "MUCH Better Stories than Beedle the Bard's" on it, then covered the front cover of his textbook with it. There. He could carry that and a quill.
And that seemed good enough for him. Now for a partner...
Looked like Grayson didn't have a partner yet?
David walked over to him. "'Sup," he started...then paused. Wait should he...be in character now? "I mean," he began again, clearing his throat before continuing in a more falsetto-ish voice. "HelloooOOOoooo, good sir! Do you require a partner?"
Lulz. LOL. He wasn't down for worst costume here. Grayson stared wide eyed at the guy in front of him, making the eye under the magnifying glass look bigger than ever. It WAS a guy because of the way his voice sounded. And a familiar guy, too. Was it.......... was it DAVID?!
OH MAN.
DON'T LAUGH, WHITTY.
"You totally drew the short straw here, man," he said, trying his hardest not to lau-- .......... Oh jeez. The dude had lived in the 18th century hadn't he? Sneakoscope Man. THAT meant that he wouldn't have used words like man and dude and freaking. How did people back there even SURVIVE? And why hadn't he been given a notice about this so that he could have at least prepared in advance? You know, learnt some old age swears and whatnot.
"Hello, m'lady. You're looking simply...." Blue? Old? Interesting?"...... ravishing," he said, bowing his head slightly and trying to keep the expression on his face as neutral as possible. It was HARD, mkay? "It'd be my pleasure to partner up with you. Do pray tell: is that a novel of yours?" He'd noticed the book. Uh huh.

Okay, Maddie KNEW who he was playing now. The attitude plus the general dislike of people and the whole thing about people living in HIS part of the castle. The different houses had different parts of the castle, yeah? And Maddie knew enough about the house traits to make a guess but she held it for JUST a bit longer to be absolutely sure. PLUS she sort of liked the heightened-Slytherin version Kyroh. Not better than the ACTUAL Kyroh, though. JUST to be clear.
Maddie nudged back, a small smile playing on her lips. "You were right. S'cause you're smart." She then took a bit of her long blonde fake hair and poked his cheek with it, just cause. It was SOFT for a wig, yeah?
"You are correct, Salazar Slytherin." She was correct TOO, right? Opinionated, driven, arrogant, rather unlikable? Kyroh really WAS a good actor. "Let's hear some parseltongue, yeah?" Juuuust kidding. Heh.

She pulled a few more things out and put them on - hats, weird sideburn things - then hopped over to where Dot and Clara's dormmate were talking. "I'll guess yours if you guess mine?" she said, then, without waiting for an answer, yelled REALLY LOUD: "BURN ME!"
Her partner was shy or something, and Dot gave her an encouraging look. Queen? Princess? Royal personage? HMM? She was still waiting for an answer when she was attacked by a mad-wigged Hufflepuff.
Who was... a woman? A man? A... carrot? Was she making fun of gingers?
And was it okay to set someone on fire if they asked for it?
"D'you... want me to set you on fire? Or give you a sunburn? I'm not the sun. I like cheeeeese." She showed her cheese tray to the older girl. "And I'm so charming, don't you see?"

Marigold was glad that Dot started guessing almost immediately because she would just look like a FOOL otherwise. She nodded eagerly when she asked if she wanted to be set on fire. "I DO. I just LOOOOOOOVE being set on fire!" she said in a weird voice that was not her own. She couldn't remember where Wendelin was from exactly, so her accent sounded vaguely Irish. She waved her wand and pretended to do the flame freezing charm. "And I'm SOO WEIRD," she added. Weird was part of her title. Like "Of Kent" or something like that.
As for Dot, she made a bunch of gestures while she struggled to find words. "You like cheese....you're a cheese farmer?....you teacher Charms classes...YOU'RE FULLER!...no, that's not right..."

SPOILER!!: Norah
Norah grinned at the other two students. "Harry Potter and Dumbledore! It's so perfect you two are working together." She knew all about those two, because duh. Everyone did. She looked down at her Quidditch robes and began acting out her beater-dom once more. Hers wasn't quiiiite so easy, considering HER card hadn't been anyone in about a zillion years, and she hadn't defeated any dark wizards.
"I'm a girl," she began just in case that wasn't obvious, "And all my teammates are girls." She said this in the thickest Welsh accent she could, or at least it was what she THOUGHT was a Welsh accent. It really could have been anything really, but her card had said Welsh so she went with Welsh. Oooh! She turned to AJ and grinned once more, "Your wife played on my team too!" She wasn't sure if anyone would know this, but her father had told her so many stories about Harry Potter that some of the information had to stick. Uhhhh. She didn't have anything else to say, so she began acting out hitting a bludger once more. Geddit?
It was pretty perfect that Harry Potter and Dumbledore were working together. What were the odds of AJ picking the student who was portraying one of the most important persons in Mr. Potter's life? Now that Hady and AJ's characters had been guessed, it was time to figure out Norah's.
The lion gave the hufflepuff girl her full attention. She was a girl, and her teammates were all girls too. Obviously she was a quidditch player, but there were so many of them. How was she going to pick the right one? "My wife?" Oh right, Harry married Ginny. Okay... think, think. She could be any of the girls on the team. "You must play for the Holyhead Harpies." Had she said that already?
AJ noticed her movements, and that meant that she had to be a beater. Once AJ had found out about the sport, she read up on it. If Hogwarts ever decided to let them play the game again, she would be trying out.
OOOOOHHHHH! "You're Jones. Gwen Jones, am I right?" She was right wasn't she? EEP!
Eden squinted at the glitter. Well. it seemed Jasmine wasn't going to guess Eden's person...she knew...that her clues probably weren't that great. She SIGHED and tried to think of what else to say...
"OH. FLOO powder!" she jumped up and down a little because WHOOH she knew what the dude invented! Or was it a woman?! The person was a Ravenclaw, right? "Well--male or female?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. "I'm a male, in case the mustache didn't give it away--though, some females DO have mustaches--" yeah? Like great aunts and stuff.
OKAY.
She glanced at the list of names and squinted...which one of you suckers invented the powder, eh? A few of the names looked familiar...ish. But she was rubbish at remembering names, so, Eden could be VERY wrong. "is it...Kirley Duke?" HMM?
JASMINE HAD QUESTIONS. Eden cleared her throat and thought for a minute. "OKAY. Well. I started Unicorn reservations to keep them aaaallllll safe! So no fighting--I just cared for them and stuff." Was that good enough? She nodded a lot. If ONLY they could look at their books!
"Yes floo powder", Jasmine said excitedly. "You're halfway there." Then Eden asked whether her person was a man or a woman. Stare. "But I'm wearing a dr......She's a woman." Well that cut the list of potential answers in half. Jasmine thought the woman part was obvious, but.....guess not. This was not going very well. Eden didn't have a clue who she was supposed to be and Jasmine wasn't fairing much better with her guesses. At this rate they'd be guessing until the next History of Magic class.
"No I'm not Kirley Duke", Jasmine said. Then she had an idea. Professor Glendower said they shouldn't reveal their names right away, but she didn't say anything about initials. "I'll give you a big hint. My initials are I.W." That ought to do it right?
Now for her guess. Jasmine vaguely remembered hearing about the unicorn guy, but the name just wouldn't come to her. She decided to take a guess. Looking at Eden, she said, "Are you Oswald Beamish?". Jasmine knew that her guess was random, but it was a guess.[/QUOTE]
Eden beamed. OKAY so she got the floo powder right. But alas----not Kirley Duke. UGH. Eden wanted to cheat. She glanced up at the professor and then looked at her book quickly, when she wasn't looking--and tried her best to look in the index at FLOO POWDER--and then she flipped to the page. She shot a glance at Jasmine. "Don't judge me! I have NO clue--" she sighed and looked down. And then she felt bad. BUT WHATEVER.
"You're..Ignatia Wildsmith-Wing--" and she squiiiiinted down at her book. "Windsmith?" Yeah. She had issues. She shut her book quickly and whistled. "I would have never guessed." Ever.
Eden sighed and shook her head. "Nope. Not him. I am a dude though, obviously--" wiggggggle mustache! "My first name starts with an H." Yeah. She wouldn't care if Jasmine cheated, either.

Someone who loooooooooved to be set on fire? That didn't seem particularly helpful at the moment, but maybe something would come to her. With more clues, yeah? Dot adjusted her very pretty big hat and apron as she tried to think about any chocolate frog cards she may have collected over the years.
"Um. Do you. Um." Dot danced on the spot out of anxiety. "Um, ok. Are you a girl?" Because it was hard to tell, ok? And a clue for Hufflepuffs? "I wrote a fab book. Have you read it?"

David technically couldn't blame him if he did because he would have if the roles were reversed BUT STILL. NO LAUGHING AT HIS PAIN.
"Yeah, I know," he replied, making a face before realizing he was supposed to be in character. Whoops. Ahem.
He cleared his throat again, speaking in the higher-pitched voice again. "Why, thaaaaAAaaank you, how very kind." He considered curtseying but...yeah, no, he wasn't sure he could do that. He wasn't going to be THAT in character. "It IS!" A novel of his...hers...? Whatever. "Much more appropriate for young children's innocent little minds than that other RUBBISH they read."
AND he should try to start figuring out who Grayson was too so... "WHAT is that fancy little contraption you have there, good sir?" He pointed to the Sneakoscope with his free hand.

AWWW BOOO someone had guessed who Ethan was! Although it was kind of obvious that Ethan was Merlin, which was cool. Caleb thought HIS card was cooler, though! Merlin was made into such a character by the muggles, he wasn't nearly as interesting as Herpo!
"Oh Merlin, you muggle lover! I did NOTHING for muggles. In fact, given the chance, they'd all be GONE if it were up to me!! In fact, I came up with a way to get rid of them all! ALL OF THEM!" he cried, waving the stuffed snake around again.
Did he get it yet? IT WAS A BASILISK, ETHAN! Surely he knew that it was Herpo who did it, right?

After some rummaging she came up with something that was relatively medieval looking, and she felt looked like something a witch of the time would have holidayed in Cornwall in. Or whatever. No really it was just an excuse to dress up.
Who would be her captive audience? Boys she snogged were already keeping one another entertained, soooo... Ruby looked around. THERE. ZAHRA.
"DEATH TO PIXIES!" Ruby shouted and pointed at Zahra.

"Yeah, I know," he replied, making a face before realizing he was supposed to be in character. Whoops. Ahem.
He cleared his throat again, speaking in the higher-pitched voice again. "Why, thaaaaAAaaank you, how very kind." He considered curtseying but...yeah, no, he wasn't sure he could do that. He wasn't going to be THAT in character. "It IS!" A novel of his...hers...? Whatever. "Much more appropriate for young children's innocent little minds than that other RUBBISH they read."
AND he should try to start figuring out who Grayson was too so... "WHAT is that fancy little contraption you have there, good sir?" He pointed to the Sneakoscope with his free hand.
That face David was making? SNORT. Priceless. Grayson was dead pleased that the guy had managed to dress up as a woman; it'd make this whole acting nonsense a lot easier. "Sucks for you, man." David was cool and Grayson wasn't gonna tell anyone about this. He'd only bring it up at the right moment for teasing reasons.
"You're very welcome, good madam!" Jeez, that was a lot of mannerism in one sentence. Oh. Great. He had to be stuck with David being someone who wrote books. Did he read? LOL, no. Not for fun, unless comic books counted. "Children say the darndest things and some of it's from the utter garbage they read in the wrong books!" Er. Alright. "Tell me, good woman, do you write yourself?" If so, the he-woman should give him some clues.
Fancy little contraption? SMIRK.
Or not. In character, remember? "Oh this thing?" he said, trying to sound humble or whatever while he held up the Sneakoscope, "'Tis but a humble little device. Invented it myself! Detects dark magic, it does. Brand new and in a wizarding town near you VERY soon!" He should be a sales person. Man, he'd rock that!

Well that cut the list of potential answers in half. Jasmine thought the woman part was obvious, but.....guess not. This was not going very well. Eden didn't have a clue who she was supposed to be and Jasmine wasn't fairing much better with her guesses. At this rate they'd be guessing until the next History of Magic class.
"No I'm not Kirley Duke", Jasmine said. Then she had an idea. Professor Glendower said they shouldn't reveal their names right away, but she didn't say anything about initials. "I'll give you a big hint. My initials are I.W." That ought to do it right?
Now for her guess. Jasmine vaguely remembered hearing about the unicorn guy, but the name just wouldn't come to her. She decided to take a guess. Looking at Eden, she said, "Are you Oswald Beamish?". Jasmine knew that her guess was random, but it was a guess.
Eden beamed. OKAY so she got the floo powder right. But alas----not Kirley Duke. UGH. Eden wanted to cheat. She glanced up at the professor and then looked at her book quickly, when she wasn't looking--and tried her best to look in the index at FLOO POWDER--and then she flipped to the page. She shot a glance at Jasmine. "Don't judge me! I have NO clue--" she sighed and looked down. And then she felt bad. BUT WHATEVER.
"You're..Ignatia Wildsmith-Wing--" and she squiiiiinted down at her book. "Windsmith?" Yeah. She had issues. She shut her book quickly and whistled. "I would have never guessed." Ever.
Eden sighed and shook her head. "Nope. Not him. I am a dude though, obviously--" wiggggggle mustache! "My first name starts with an H." Yeah. She wouldn't care if Jasmine cheated, either.[/QUOTE]
Jasmine breathed a sigh of relief when Eden correctly guessed her chocolate frog persona. Raising her hand to give Eden a high five, Jasmine said, "You got it! That was really hard. I'd never heard of her either before today."
Now it was her turn.....again. Jasmine still didn't know who Eden was supposed to be, but mercifully she had given her a good hint. Her person's name started with an H. Hoping that she meant first name, not last, Jasmine looked toward the list of names on the board. OK now this was process of elimination. She could eliminate the women first. There weren't that many male H names on the list. Jasmine also eliminated the names she knew.......the two memebers of the Weird Sisters, the founder of Hogsmeade and Harry Potter. That left......"Are you Havelock Sweeting?" Please say yes, please say yes.

Oh this activity was going even better than Nessa had hoped! Beaming with excitement as she weaved through the desks, she watched all the little performances as their partners tried to make guesses on who they were. And she tried to guess in her head too as she stopped near some costumed students, listening in on their clues. Gosh, they were doing a great job! Was that.. Salazar Slytherin with the snake? Hmm..
She was having so much fun that she had momentarily forgotten all about the disciplinary issue at the front of the room.. and that she had a chocolate frog card in her hand! Maybe she should get in on the fun too! Quickly, she flipped it over in her hand, brown eyes landing on the name.. Mopsus. Hmm.. did she have a grey beard in the costume box? She did see one of her students sporting one. She hurried back to the box to see if there was another.. and a sceptre.
OOC - Awesome job everyone! Another twenty-four hours to get the rest of your posts in!

"Oh Merlin, you muggle lover! I did NOTHING for muggles. In fact, given the chance, they'd all be GONE if it were up to me!! In fact, I came up with a way to get rid of them all! ALL OF THEM!" he cried, waving the stuffed snake around again.
Did he get it yet? IT WAS A BASILISK, ETHAN! Surely he knew that it was Herpo who did it, right?
"Because.YOU.ARE.EVIL!" Or was it FOUL? "I love thee muggles because of they can live WITHOUT magic!" Like, seriously? How can one Arthur Pendragon win those battles without magic? "And they are smart too!" Well...he did help, yeah? But the mind of that MAN. Holy Slytherin.
Then there was the giant Snake.
Merlin, did he actually confuse Kyroh's character with Caleb's? It was worth the shot, yeah? He needed more clues! "Your BASILISK is NOTHING compared to my DRAGON!" Ethan!Merlin showed him his dragon toy. Guuuuh, if only his toy was as cool as Kyroh's...

Eyebrow raise as the girl who seemed quite shocked by his appearance and backed up from him like he was contagious. "Yeah....its part of the act." Like he would be in class if he was seriously ill. It would have been a one-way ticket to the hospital wing...or worse...St. Mungos. "But still very serious"
Cough. Cough.
Now she had loosely confirmed what he had asked of her own persona but nothing much else was given. So Benny looked her over once more to try and see if anything else to his mind by what he saw. Okay, female quidditch player. What else was there? The Gryffindor wasn't all too familiar with famous players despite playing himself. He was about to ask a question when another boy came up to them and gave a guess complete with name.
Joscelind Wadcock
Cough. Cough. Cough.
Guess he was out of guesses himself for the Hufflepuff seemed pretty sure of his answer. "Silly dragon...sickness," he mused giving the stuffed dragon a squeeze.
As Kace correctly guessed Pucks answer, he noticed Benny was there. "Hey Mate!" he greeted him so he wouldn't feel left out. "Nice outfit you got there." he grinned. And he was coughing and mentioned silly dragon sickness. He was giving clues. He was stumped he forgot which wizard had dragon sickness.
SPOILER!!: Puck :3

”h-how?” she gasped eyes wiiiiiiiiiiide in shock. ”yes, yes you are right” she sighed dramatically and grinned at her friend before turning to glance at Poxy again. ”I’d say that you are Withers, y’know the one and only Lord Stoddard Withers” she laughed. Leaning closer she whispered, ”the horse gave it away” she chuckled.
She sent the coughing person a looooook. ”you’ve got dragon Pox?” she sighed and squinted…definitely ink on his face. ”if you did you’d have to either be Howland Coopey, Elphias Doge, Gunhilda Kneen…and you aren’t dressed like a woman, Abraxas Malfoy….or whats his name Oldridge” she shrugged. What she wasn’t an idiot. "What do you think Withers?"
He smiled and didn't wanna brag out his Quidditch genius. "Well you know I did work at a quidditch store during the summer. I picked up on a few things." he winked. But then it was his turn to have his eyes wide. Whaaaaa??? Howwww? How did she guess so quickly. But then again his horse was a huge give away. That was true. He shrugged. "You are right." he told Puck to confirm it. "I know I should have been soo obvious.." he whispered back.
SPOILER!!: Benny yet again XD!

They were indeed talking entirely like he wasn't there. Well except the occasional looks sent his way. The girl in turn guessed the other boy's fake identity, another chocolate frog character he himself hadn't been sure of. He had to admit maybe his preference against chocolate frogs cut him out of the knowledge his fellow students apparently had at a glance.
More weird looks.
"Uh huh...I do," Benny confirmed, cutting back on the coughing. Maybe it was making her ill or nervous, hence the looks and behavior she was giving him. He stood in place as she listed a bunch of names of obvious witches and wizards though the fourth year wasn't familiar with anyone. It was only when she reached the last name...surname only...that he reacted. Was that considered a correct guess of his identity.
"One of the last two..." he said to narrow it down but not give it away just yet.
Kace was trying to figure out the clues and thought about the sickness and had no clue! He heard Puck's answers and the Olridge sounded familiar. "Wait a minute! You are Chauncey Oldridge! You are the guy who first had dragon pox!" he said catching on. He had no idea how that came up but he knew.
Ooooh this sounded fun. And no, Beverly, Ruby had no intention of eating her frog. She snapped it in half though, so it wouldn't hop away, and then she flipped her card over.
This wasn't an easy situation, trying to... read what that all said. Luckily for Ruby she recognized the name and remembered what she knew about the person. Pixie hater? She could be a pixie hater!
Who cared about the details?
She got up and went over to get an OUTFIT. Because that was obviously the best part of all this.

"DEATH TO PIXIES!" Ruby shouted and pointed at Zahra.
Zahra was actively licking the melted chocolate frog off her fingers, perusing the dress up stuff, PREPPING because HoM was pretty serious stuff.
LUCKILY, she had a BFF who automatically qualified as a partner, so that wasn't anything to worry about. Plus, Ruby was like all ready and into it and shouting about Pixies.

"Yes!" Perfect! "I hate them! I want them to DIE!" Ruby struck a dramatic pose. "They're SO CRUEL. THEY INTERRUPT BEACH HOLIDAYS." And if pixies had of interrupted HER holiday in Greece by the way, she would have made them SORRY for it.
"I demand the ministry destroy ALL PIXIES, right now!" Ruby said, into Zahra's wand!microphone.
Oh wait, was she supposed to make guesses? Because not yet, this was too fun.

Soph went back to twirling the vial of potion between her fingers, smiling contently and watching Tobes sift through the textbook. She knew he was onto it and he just needed to find the name, so she let him go for it. She was especially proud when he didn't even seem to give into peeking at the card. He COULD have done that easily - but he took the less simple route. How noble of him.
SHE WAS RIGHT. Hehehehe. "Only because you were so good at being him." He WAS so good, wasn't he? Dropping all the good hints and all. "You're the most Hufflepuff person I've ever known, Tobias Tempus." So it made total sense that a Hufflepuff card came to him like that. "He even LOOKS like you." Heheheheh.
She thought she was funny.
Peeking over his shoulder to look through the textbook with him, Sophie smiled when she saw the name of her person on the page, then sat back to let him reveal it. "Yep, that's me, Mr. Hipworth," she beamed, letting him see HER card as confirmation, too. "I knew you knew. Thanks for throwing me a bone with that 'pep' joke. Made it easier to keep it going." They had both been total EXPERTS at this, had Glendower seen? So good. Might as well sign them up for W.A.D.A. right now.
So, even though they'd both guessed each other's cards, Toby didn't get rid of his prop yet. There was always the chance that some other kid might happen along and want to try guessing which card he had. A slim chance, but still a chance all the same.
Toby grinned and shook his head in amusement at Soph's words, about him being the most Hufflepuff person, which then turned to a furrowed brow of mock confusion as he looked back at his card again.
"I think you need glasses; I look nothing like this guy," Toby said, trying to raise an eyebrow at her and failing (how DID that man do that eyebrow quirk so easily), and so raising both. "Maybe if I shaved the hair off the top of my head? And grew the rest out?" He checked the card again. "And grew an awesome moustache?" HMMMMMMM? Heh, as IF he COULD.
But yeah. Yeah.
"Shame I didn't really know enough about history to get the name without the book," Toby said, giving a shrug of one shoulder as if to say 'that's okay though'. He waved the card in front of him, holding onto it between his index and middle finger. "I've got a ton of these lying around all over the place. Never actually looked at the cards before." Heh. "But you're welcome." For the pep joke. Yeah.
Toby looked around at the other kids and the professor. Perhaps it was a good idea to just wait out the activity now, instead of talking too much. He didn't want to be too disruptive, and after all, it was probably wise if he listened in on some of the other interactions. Might even end up learning something.

Dragon? OOOOH cool, Caleb had to admit - Merlin had that on Herpo the Foul for sure. But Basilisks were still cool! Now how did mention the whole Horcrux thing without flat out giving it away? Hmmm...
"Dragons may be cool and all, but not as cool as the basilisk! And that's not the only thing I invented to prove I'm the best...I'll be around FOREVER. I mean FOREVERRRRR," he said. Hint hint hint!
Wait, had Herpo's horcruxes ever been found? Or was he REALLY still hanging around the Earth somewhere? He was kind of irked by that idea...yeah, that was actually REALLY creepy. Eek.

"Humanely!" Apparently. But that was boring and Ruby was warming to her fictional audience now. "PULL THEIR WINGS OFF SO THEY CAN'T ABDUCT INNOCENT SUNBATHERS ANYMORE."
Definitely needed a sign to wave around right?
"DEATH TO PIXIES!"
