It was particularly warm inside the classroom. December brought with it the freezing weather that usually turned the old professor's knees to creaking, rusty joints. Hence, the classroom was warm, warmer than the rest of the castle. The desks were spread out in three rows as usual with name tags on them that assigned students to their chairs. A bunch of belts were piled on the side of Botros' big desk in front of the blackboard. The old man himself was standing and leaning sideways on his desk on the small dais, his cane was in his hand though he didn't need it for support.
Walk in, take a seat and keep the chatting to a minimum, this isn't your first Ancient Runes class this year so you already know that professor Botros doesn't appreciate loud chatter.
ooc: - Please familiarize yourself with this class' rules and guidelines before you post.
- As mentioned, this isn't the first class, your character should know the professor so please act like it. :)

Yay! Janelle had a partner. She was glad of that. Now she had to figure out who her partner was supposed to be. She stared at the woman and had absolutely no clue who she was. Before she could think of something to say, Janelle was asked a question. "Yes, I am in one of those years.", she responded. "Good question, she thought to herself. Now it was her turn and she posed a question of her own.
"What house are you in??" Not the best question, but at least it would narrow down the possibilities. This was going to be very hard, especially when they were only allowed to ask three questions. They got to ask twenty questions in the muggle game. Janelle might have a chance at guessing right, if that was the case.
While Janelle continued to study her partner, she tried to think of two more things to ask that might give her important information.
Alright this was a good start. The person before her was in one of the younger grades. That helped narrow it down a little bit. When she head the girls next question she smiled figuring she should have asked that as well. It would've narrowed things down a lot faster!
"I'm in Slytherin." Hady replied shifting her weight from foot to foot. If the girl wasn't in Slytherin and wasn't on of her close friends she probably wouldn't know who Hady was but then again most people knew of her. She had a habit of always being around so she was probably at least seen before. Now though back to who this mystery person was. "What's your favorite subject?" If the girl said something she expected that might help with the next question. She knew what most of her close friends liked best.

Looking the girl before her over from head to toe Hady tried to think up another question while trying to search her memory for any witches she could think of that looked like the women standing before her. This wasn't easy! There was so much she could ask but not enough time. Chewing on her lip in thought she mentally scolded herself to stop doing that, it was a Hady trait not an Annabelle one.
As she was thinking of her next question one was asked to her pulling her from her current thoughts. "Nope I'm not." She gave a small shake of her head in reply. Sadly Annabelle hadn't been famous, she hadn't had the time before she died but that didn't change how Hady thought and felt about the women. "Did you invent something?" Hady asked giving her second question. Hopefully it was a yes and that could narrow down her choices even more.
Oh so she was in Slytherin. That helped, sort of.......except Janelle only really knew a few Slytherins. Zhenya, Beverly and Cutty. Could it be one of them?How could she find out? She only had two questions left so she needed to come up with a good one.
Then the mystery woman asked Janelle another question. She smiled at the thought. "My favorite class is Care of Magical Creatures. Potions is second, so far." So her partner knew that she was a first or second year who liked animals. That was not a lot to go on and with one question left, Janelle did not like her partner's chances.
Janelle threw out her second question, not sure whether it would help her or not. "How old are you?" She figured she'd better get straight to the point.. She was narrowing her choices down, but the possibilities weren't narrow enough. She could still be one of several students.

Janelle was starting to rethink her choice. How did she expect anyone to ever guess who she was supposed to be? She probably should have chosen someone at least semi-known, but she did not. She chose someone who meant the most to her, not her classmates. Oh well, too late to turn back now.
Then the mystery woman asked Janelle another question. She smiled at the thought. "No, I didn't invent anything." So far her partner knew that she was a witch who didn't invent anything. That was not a lot to go on and with one question left, it was not looking good.
Janelle threw out her second question, not sure whether it would help her or not. "Are you alive?" She wanted to know if this was someone from the present or the past. She was narrowing her choices down, but the possibilities weren't narrow enough. She could still be one of a billion women.
Hady twirled a strand of her long dark hair around her finger. That was a trait she knew and could remember of Annabelle's. Sadly as they years passed a lot of memories had faded but those she could recall best she held dearly to her heart. That wasn't the point here though and wouldn't help her friend figure out who she was.
As the next of her questions was answered she didn't get the answer she'd hoped for. All she knew was the person was a witch that hadn't invented anything. Not a very big help at all especially with only one question left. Hady had to make this question good or she wouldn't be figuring out who this person was anytime soon.
Was she alive? No. Sadly the answer would be no. Keeping her face blank and her voice from wavering at all as she answered this question wasn't easy, not even for a Slytherin like herself. So when she answered it was a bit quiet but she was sure Janelle had been able to hear her. "No. No I'm not."
As sad as the question and answer she had to give made the second year it helped lead her towards her next and last question. "Are you a relative of Janelle's?" Cause maybe just maybe like herself that was who the other young girl had chosen to be. Right now it didn't matter if they she was able to figure it out or not...she just wanted to be done.

Janelle was 0 for 2 in the question department. Her partner's person was not alive. Janelle had the feeling that this was someone dear to the student because of the way she answered the question........with sadness in her voice. Then when the next question had to do with relatives, she had a thought. Before analyzing all of her information, Janelle answered the question.
"Yes, I am one of Janelle's relatives." Very smart. She wondered whŕt made her partner ask that question. Well she was definitely on the right track. She might just guess who Janelle was after all.
But back to Janelle's question. She decided to ask a question and take a guess all in one turn. What did she have to lose anyway? So the woman was not alive. Janelle hoped that it wasn't her partner's mother. Clearly it was someone close to her. Ready to take a shot, Janelle said, "Are you her grandmother?" Just a guess.....could be......maybe.

And there was her last answer. That helped narrow it down A LOT more. There was only two problems now. One being Hady was out of questions...was she still able to guess who the girl was? She was probably a grandmother or an aunt most likely. Problem two though was she had no idea about any of her fellow classmates relatives so she'd never be able to guess a name for the women standing before her.
Oh well it wasn't a big deal really. At least she had gotten close. With the final question being asked to her she shook her head once more. Nope she wasn't her grandmother but that was a really good guess seeing as she was dead also. "No I'm not her grandmother but that was a good try." Hady replied with a light smile. "I'm not sure if we can say how we are though just yet, maybe we should go ask the Professor since our turns are all up." It was both a suggestion and what they were supposed to do next right?
Waiting for Janelle she then headed towards the Professor asking as they reached him, "Professor, we both took our guesses and weren't able to come up with who the other is though we're sure we're close. What should we do now?" Do they tell each other who they are or are they done?

The voice though... why the sudden change of tome between sentences? Adi only thought of that for a second before he was asked a question in turn. "Lucky guess. Yes, I do.'' Adi toned down his usual hyperness and the manner in which he normally spok and he wondered if he should if he should have added that 'he' dealt with multiple creatures rather than one.
Anywaaaayyy! Back to asking his own questions. Adi surveyed the illusion again. He would have to say this one was one of the original clan members... or was it someone from the next generation of Weasleys? Ugh! Adi was trying to figure out why the illusion looked so familiar but the reason continue to elude him. He knew he had seen this person before.
"Okay, are you one of Arthur's and Molly's sons??" Maybe he was Bill Weasley, curse breaker and human mixed with werew- hang on. This person here wasn't scarred as Bill was! nope, this person was short and well muscled in the arms and one of those arms had a shiny burn. "Did you get that burn during the Battle of Hogwarts?"
Benny watched as the other person looked closer on him in return, obviously looking for clues as to his identity. Since he couldn't see himself in the illusion from this angle, he wasn't quite aware what was being shown on the outside to his companion. Sure he had the image of the dragon worker that he was aware of and he supposed that might be how the magic of the runes worked on the belt.
He awaited patiently for the next question or two, figuring his unknown partner was mulling over ideas. He himself was taking the silence in trying to figure out his own theories. The answer he had been given about working with creatures, or a creature like he had asked hadn't given much information.
One of Arthur and Molly's sons? Yeah, Benny would certainly say that. He gave a nod in response to the question before speaking to the affirmative. "Yes, I am." As for the burn that he mentioned, the Gryffindor absently followed his gaze, only to be disappointed once more not seeing it. Oh well, he'd have to assume it. "No...a few years earlier," he answered, remembering something specific about a particular burn. Other then the usually expected ones from dealing with dragons on a regular basis of course. A brief reminder that he himself might want to become better at making burn salves or potions.
Next question from him..."Are you known for your involvement with creatures?"

Awwwww man. Janelle had guessed wrong. She was hoping that she was on he right track with her guess, but.....no. Who was she then? Janelle was very curious now. Actually, she was dying to know who the woman was. Were they supposed to reveal who they were to their partners now? Janelle thought so, but the "woman" was already half way to the Professor's desk before she could respond.
There was nothing wrong with getting a little clarification so Janelle listened as her partner asked questions. Well at least they were already with the Professor so he could check out their transformations and go over the final steps. Looking out over the class, she amazed at the variety of people there. Some she recognized, some she didn't ........mostly didn't, but that was the fun of the activity.

So that meant she was a fifth year. Whoooooo was a fifth year again? Caleb was seriously awful at paying attention to who was in his year. But she asked if HE was taking his OWLs too, which made him think that she knew a lot more about HIM and their year than he did. Oh great. She was probably going to get it and he was probably going to be totally wrong!
"I am...so um..." He wanted to ask the prefect thing but that did NOT narrow it down...wasn't he the only fifth year prefect besides Adi? See he didn't even know THAT!
Suddenly, a face popped into his head of a girl in his year that already looked a bit like Ginny - he wondered if it was HER! "Do you have the same color hair as Ginny naturally?" he asked her. He hoped she didn't dye her hair red or that would be a total waste of a question...

So he was sitting his O.W.L.s this term...that meant it wasn't Gabe because she was pretty sure he was the same Year as Ruby. and besides, he seemed painfully shy and this boy wasn't. He was also definitely not Adi because she knew him very well and nope. probably wasn't Zander either for the same reason.
That left only Caleb, who she knew was the Slytherin Prefect.
Heheh, Lux was excited to guess but first had to answer his last question then ask another of her own. It was a good one too! "Yes, I am a redhead." Not too many of those at Hogwarts. "Are you in Gryffindor?" She was sure he wasn't but again wanted to cover all her bases.

A dude was walking toward him. A DUDE that was weird looking and like, OLDER and yeah. After a moment he guessed it wasn't SO weird, but he felt more normal thinking that he looked like Ashley, young, long hair and girly and pretty and all. He was pretty, wasn't he?
"N'much," he replied to the dude!person's 'Sup'. Because he felt he could, and because Ashley wasn't here to kill him, he offered the person a wink. Hehehehehe. HILARIOUS! Right? Right?
"Go for it, but then it's my turn," he decided, yep, cause, they had to get this done. He wasn't sure if this illusion was of any real significance to whoever it was. Was he a family member? Dad? Neighbour? ...
This was not going to be easy.
Aww. The pretty lady winked at AJ, and since she was technically a dude right now she figured that she should be all dude like and wink back. She could totally win this girl over in her current form. Chicks dug older dudes, right? Babe Ruth was definitely older. Adi was whole two years older than her. Well, give or take a few months. Anywho, the lesson wasn't on picking up chicks so she needed to focus.
"It's only fair." She really hoped that who was ever behind the disguise would be able to get it. Of course baseball was a muggle thing so maybe she was asking too much.
Question time. What was a good questing to ask? "Who are you?" Okay, okay. That was probably against the rules, but she didn't remember the professor saying that you couldn't ask that. AJ was good about zoning out during boring stuff though. "Kidding. Ummm... if I were to go looking for you, where would I most likely find you?" Oh man, that was kind of deep. Hopefully she didn't say something lame like 'at home'. That would really suck.
curly haired prefect - "sometimes I get angry!" - 30/90 - *chicken emoji* - probably @ Disney - I speak dog
Alright, she WAS a red head. Caleb knew of only one redhead in his year - Lux Carrington. He was pretty positive he had never really TALKED to her, but he at least knew her name. How embarrassing would have that been if he hadn't a clue what her name was!
"Well then, you're clearly Lux!" he said with a grin. BOOM! Caleb was awesome. "And no, I am NOT a Gryffindor," he told her. So was Zander their year too? Huh. You learned something new every day, didn't you?

And DING DING DING! We have a winner!!
It was no real surprise that he got it right when there were so few redheads floating around Hogwarts, but it was still impressive. "Yes, way to go!" Round of applause for him and now it was her turn to guess.
So he wasn't a Gryffindor; no surprise there. Lux was positive that she was correct in her guess. "I'm going to say that you are Caleb." Even though they had never properly spoken before, she had seen him around class and she was observant.
curly haired prefect - "sometimes I get angry!" - 30/90 - *chicken emoji* - probably @ Disney - I speak dog
Oh, she'd gotten it! Claps for you, Lux! It was probably that prefect question that sealed the deal - there were only so many fifth year prefects.
"Yup! That's me!" Caleb said with a grin. He wondered if their prizes for guessing correctly were checking their reflections in the mirror because he was super eager to see what he looked like.

Admittedly, there were some pretty interesting results. As in, many many adult people where once small people had been. It was amazing and exciting all at once. Amur recognized a few, but most eluded her. She wanted to ask questions of all of them, but it was the bird that caught her attention.
On the one hand, she was impressed, because the student - whoever they had been before - had managed to pull off a creature, what the Professor had said was a difficult task. And a very beautiful bird creature at that.
Amur found herself walking over to it and staring at it with wonder. As far as she was concerned, step one was complete. Find an interesting guise.
"Can you talk?" Wait, did that count as a question?
As Kace was admiring his new feathers and loving that he managed to succeed, he saw a little first or second year approach him. She seemed to be a lion and he smiled at her. He heard her first question and now she was down to two. "Yes I can talk.." Kace chuckled at her question. He wondered if she had any others but now it was time for him to ask the questions.
"Are you a famous figure around Hogwarts?" he asked just making sure. He thought he knew who she was but he needed to ask questions for the lesson. Plus it seemed she did well on her runes so he gave the little one credit.

It couldn't even be described in one word, plus it needed a bunch of 'ish's or else it didn't make sense. Very un-normal.
She stood up as straight as she possibly could, grinning because she was TALLER now, and began to walk in the most confident prefect-y way in the entire universe. Didja see how old and cool she was? Didja seeee? Norah!Mari stood smack dab in the middle of the circle and called out, "Does anybody need a partner?" 'Cause prefects got to stand in the middle of anything they wanted, probably. Her fingers strayed to the blonde hair again as she stood there, waiting for somebody. Everybody would definitely just know who she was, obviously, but she was a PREFECT now so somebody'd want to work with her anyways right? Riiiight?
Okay uh, this was super confusing. How come the chants were so long? Zander Adair was not following. Ahem. Uh. "Fehu??" Fehu. That sounded right. And then there were a bunch of vowels, okay... Not too bad... Maybe. "Fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo," WOAH that was like a whole fourth of the way through. "Fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz," then a bunch more vowels... Actually, there was a pattern to this stuff??? WHAT!? Was Runes making sense??? What in the name of Merlin was going on here?!? WHUT. "Fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel othol!!"
HOLY MOLEY MERLIN?!?! His belt, the runes?? GLOWING!? That meant it was working right??? Zander Adair was one happy camper. Ahem. Or runesologist... Or... What did Runes people call himself? Because that's how he felt. Except um, anyways... They had a task to complete. Before Zander Godric Gryffindor even turned back around, he heard someone calling out for a partner, and oh. The needed one of those. "Oh, I do!"
As he turned around to figure out who he had just O______O Uh oh. Marigold McAlistor?? Awkward. This was awkward. But it wasn't the REAL her. But it looked like the real her.
Uh. "I-uh.... You uh... Do you want to ask me first?" Merlin. So maybe she wasn't actually Marigold McAlistor... But it sure felt real, YOU KNOW??? And it felt awkward. Merlin.

AHA! One of Arthur's and Molly's son, eh? Adi's mind went to work. Based on the information and the images he had seen of the couple's sons, he was able to eliminate Ron, Fred, George and Percy. That left Bill and Charlie if he remembered correctly.
"Hang on... give me a minute more, please,'' he said as he continued to think. Which Weasley was which? Hmm... this one had complexion that would indicate he was out a lot in the sun but that burn... it wasn't from the Battle. Adi continued to use the process of elimination, tilting his head as he did so.
Bill or Charlie?
Wait... Bill was the one attacked by that werewolf! He had been scarred quite a bit. This Weasley before him wasn't. "I've got it! You're Charlie Weasley!'' Oh yeah! Adi was sure about that.That burn was from the fire of a dragon.
And about the question to him, Adi nodded vigorously. "Yes, I am.''

The first thing that was strange, was a bird smiling at her. At least, that's what she thought it was doing, by the way it's beak slightly opened and it's pupils dialated. That, or it was going to eat her. Her eyes flicked to where she guessed the belt would be on the once-other-student-now-turned-bird. Hopefully these runes didn't bring along any characteristic tendencies with them.
The second thing that was strange, was the talking. It could talk! Amur had just met a talking bird! Or if she forgot to remind herself said bird was actually a student, that's what it seemed like. She rocked on the balls of her feet in excitement. She was sure she knew what this kid was!
That question, that was an interesting start. Amur reached up and tried to stroke her long, white beard. It was a guess as to where it was, given she couldn't see the darn thing, and she only hoped she got it right. Otherwise it was stroking the air beside a beard, which would be rather embarrassing. "I suppose," she tried in her best, deep, old-man-gravely voice, "That depending on the belief of students I might be."
She tried for that characteristic, deep booming laugh, but all that came out was a 'ha ha ha'.
Yup. Moving on. Question number two for bird-man. "Do you prefer South America, or China?"

The first thing that was strange, was a bird smiling at her. At least, that's what she thought it was doing, by the way it's beak slightly opened and it's pupils dialated. That, or it was going to eat her. Her eyes flicked to where she guessed the belt would be on the once-other-student-now-turned-bird. Hopefully these runes didn't bring along any characteristic tendencies with them.
The second thing that was strange, was the talking. It could talk! Amur had just met a talking bird! Or if she forgot to remind herself said bird was actually a student, that's what it seemed like. She rocked on the balls of her feet in excitement. She was sure she knew what this kid was!
That question, that was an interesting start. Amur reached up and tried to stroke her long, white beard. It was a guess as to where it was, given she couldn't see the darn thing, and she only hoped she got it right. Otherwise it was stroking the air beside a beard, which would be rather embarrassing. "I suppose," she tried in her best, deep, old-man-gravely voice, "That depending on the belief of students I might be."
She tried for that characteristic, deep booming laugh, but all that came out was a 'ha ha ha'.
Yup. Moving on. Question number two for bird-man. "Do you prefer South America, or China?"
Kace began to look closely and he saw the long white beard and he heard the answer to her question. Hmm well that helped a little bit. Depending on the beliefs of the students. He heard the man's laugh and it almost sounded like ho ho ho but not quite. He smirked and was getting somewhere. Now onto the second question and he heard her ask did he prefer south america or china? He nodded and flapped his wings because why not? They were soo cool!
He began to answer saying, "I prefer China actually. It is a more diverse country and there is a lot open land." Now onto asking his question for the man. He wondered who it was. There was a guy with a long beard. I mean he knew it was Santa Claus but what was his other name he was called by. He asked another question, "Do you have a holiday named after you?" Maybe this question will help.
Ezra stood at his place in the ring of students and listened to their Professor talk about chants, belts, and runes. This class was definitely very interesting but it was soooo foreign at the same time. Ezra had taken the subject because his parents said that it would make more sense when he got older and that it would be harder to jump into it too late. It looked good for OWLs and NEWTs as well apparently. But regardless, today's lesson they were shape-shifting, sort of, and that was all he needed to know.
Directions finished, the Gryffindor third year walked over and grabbed up a belt before returning to his spot in the circle. He wrapped it around his waste and tightened it. He could see the faint etchings of the runes they would need.
So exciting. Now what was that chant? He faced the wall and went over it in his head.

Amur had never considered a bird to have facial expressions before, but this one seemed quite good at generating them. It was mainly with the eyes, the dilating and contracting. It was fascinating to watch.
And then the bird flapped his wings, and Amur got so excited she almost missed the answer to the question. It liked China. Okay, so parrots of the Amazon were out. She considered the feathers, the colors and just about everything about the bird as she continued to try and stroke said beard.
His question had her blinking. "A...holiday named after me?" Uh oh. What if the questioned didn't know the answer to the question? Amur blinked once, twice and a third time. She tried her best. "Not directly named after me?" Unless there was some Christmas-St.Nicholas naming correlation she wasn't aware of.
Sorry bird.
Last question on her part. Amur chewed on her bottom lip. "Where do you sleep..." No, that's not what it was called for birds... "Roost! Where do you roost?"

All of this chanting made Janelle think of a question. She raised her hand and waited for Professor Botros to call on her. "When your appearance changes, does your voice change? I mean, do you sound like the person you appear to be or do you sound like yourself?" She was just wondering......
"Yes, to the onlooker you sound different." He smiled at the girl and then leaned back his bottom on the table, watching everyone else. "Remember to ask only three questions about who might be behind the illusion." Botros repeated, glad to see all those famous wizards and.... was that West Odessa over there??? And a.. Phoenix. Two actually. Interesting. As long as they don't die in his classroom.
ooc: - soooo, you're supposed to guess who the students are behind the illusion, because what your character turned into must be a widely known person already and there's no need to guess their name. XD (or the creatures)
- For those who have been RPing otherwise, you can edit your questions/posts... or you can finish your guessing and move on to guessing who the student behind the illusion is.
- I give you 12 more hrs after the 48 hrs end.
- Have fun! Sorry for the inconvenience.

So, Heather was wearing the belt and couldn't tell any difference in her apperence, which Professor Botros had said would happen. But she could she a couple of pheonixes, Godric Gryffindor, a baseball player and....was that someone's mom? Okaaaaay. "Need a partner over here!" she yelled out, crossing her arms. What, people couldn't tell it was her, right? Might as well act like the person who she was supposed to be. Make it harder for someone to guess who she really was, cause Heather wouldn't do that. Nope, she'd be sneaking out of the classroom right now.

Sorry bird.
Last question on her part. Amur chewed on her bottom lip. "Where do you sleep..." No, that's not what it was called for birds... "Roost! Where do you roost?"
Kace nodded at the answered question. So not directly named for a holiday. The guy had a white beard and he almost had a jolly laugh. He had one more question to use but he heard the dude's question. "Where do I sleep?" he confirmed it but as she put it roost. He chuckled and said, "I usually nest on mountain peaks." He wondered if that question helped out.
That was her three questions up. "You said your three questions.." he reminded her and he wondered if the person figured it out. But now onto his last question. He recapped his first one, Is he a famous figure in Hogwarts and is there a holiday named after you. Those didn't help out too much. Alright his last question, "Are you a religious figure?" I mean the white beard looked familiar but he wasn't too sure.

"Hang on... give me a minute more, please,'' he said as he continued to think. Which Weasley was which? Hmm... this one had complexion that would indicate he was out a lot in the sun but that burn... it wasn't from the Battle. Adi continued to use the process of elimination, tilting his head as he did so.
Bill or Charlie?
Wait... Bill was the one attacked by that werewolf! He had been scarred quite a bit. This Weasley before him wasn't. "I've got it! You're Charlie Weasley!'' Oh yeah! Adi was sure about that.That burn was from the fire of a dragon.
And about the question to him, Adi nodded vigorously. "Yes, I am.''

Give him a minute more?
Benny wasn't in any rush so he didn't know why his companion was somehow feeling like he was. Botros also hadn't said anything to that extent so he shrugged in response. "Alright..." the Gryffindor said simply, making him aware that he had the extra time. Te questions were done on his companions end so it was the guess that was to follow. And then he waited as more silence ensued while his partner tried to figure him out.
Before too long his identity was guessed and the fifth year nodded. "Yep...that's me." So he supposed he didn't really have to cover up his identity anymore. But wait... Botros was no speaking up, reminding them that they were supposed to be guessing who was behind the illusion, not the illusion. Uh oh...they had been doing it wrong.
Benny swallowed and turned back to his partner, thinking on the answers he himself had been given. Dealt with at least one creature...was known for such worker. Focusing on the balding man and his dress for a few minutes, he suddenly realized he knew why the man looked familiar. The Gryffindor wanting to kick himself."Of course...you're Newt."
But who was behind it? Might as well start with one question. "What house are you?" Easiest way to narrow it down...right?

SEEEEEE?
Adi knew the Weasleys! He was so pleased with himself for guessing correctly at using only the maximum amount of questions. Annnnd now he waited patiently for this person to guess who was his illusion. Ahh but his partner was even better! "That's right! You used only two questions. Good for you!''
So they were now moving on. "I belong to the House which has the cheeriest and friendliest ghost you'll ever find.'' Hehe. That should narrow it down considerably. "Ummm... were you on your House quidditch team?" That question should help him... that and the fact his partner had chosen the illusion of Charlie Weasley. There had to be a reason why Charlie was chosen, right? Just as there was a reason he had chosen Newt.
