I can't figure it out. It what thing can't you figure out? No?
I don't want to. I don't want to make people feel bad things.
Wait, who are you making feel bad things? Because it's not me.
I don't feel good things around you unless you're sad, and then I
feel bad. You made Mazie feel sad? Do you guys have a fight
while I was in here? I forgot you think you heard me easyse feelings?
And then you forgot about it on purpose? He said something wrong and
then hurt her feelings? Oh you still? I'm sure it's far worse in
your heads than what actually happened. He may have been given a the getfulness
potion, which is hard to confirm because he can't remember given one who would
give him a forget one his potion? When did this happen? Is he
okay? I don't remember anything. Ever, Again, things have been really
crazy, and we have still been expected to do our full course load,
and we have still expected to do extra curricular activities. So how do we
feel about hot chocolate in the common room? And I will read you,
guys the book that I've been writing. Really clum that sounds lovely? Could
that be nice? I think that could be nice, you know, like
fireplace, hot chocolate, cozy, sweater blankets, and then I can just
read to you. It's not good, but you know, maybe it could
be. I really like it when people read to me. So are you
both ready? So when you say throw, did you mean like underhand or
I'll figure it out? That's okay? Well, Skyla, I get it.
You are hit full on with the water clem drench. Oh I'm sorry,
clam, Okay, you didn't have to be so mean. I'm sorry
you guys did have to do that. You know too much. I get
yourselves in trouble just because I couldn't do a spell. It's not because you
couldn't do a spell. It's because she was being really mean about the fact
that you couldn't do a spell. You guys didn't really have to do that,
just so you know, like, you don't got to do that.
I mean, I really appreciate it, but I just don't want you guys
to get in trouble just because I'm bad at magic. Because it was you
want him to forget that you threw up this morning? Yeah, he forgot.
He didn't mention it at all. But what did he really do I'll
live. I don't want to hear what you think. I'm on a hero
when he actually will, he remembers, I'm just assuming when I saw him
he thought it was breakfast, So unless it happened before breakfast, I think
you're in the clear. Oh I Allen, are you okaying? You're just
fixing to bad Mayzie? It's been so long. Can I have a big
hug? I give her a big hug. I would like to quietly whisper
amaze easier. I think you should go doctor Alex. Is he okay?
No? Love you? Thank you so much for the cookie. Look I
get. I feel excited just to see you. You don't even have to
be doing anything, and it like it's fun just to be around you without
doing anything. Even you don't even have to be fun for you to be
fun of my making sense, So you can just be like you don't have
to try and make me feel better. Just you being around makes me feel
better. Not when you're angry at me, though, because that means I
did something that makes you feel a bad thing. I don't want you to
feel a bad thing. Did any of that make sense? I think so,
because it was all meant to be good things, and I don't want
not to sound like bad things. I know, I know, thank you.
That's might just be the nicest thing that anybody's ever said about me.
That's just put it when I'm around that any thinks are just better Like sausages
tastes Benner and they're really are your favorite. Yeah, and I am a
little hungry. Maybe we can maybe we can get Rosy and Bonnie together on
a date, and we can go on the date and ask them to help
us on all of those things, and then maybe we can surprise them,
like where is he? What's going to do with us? With the basket?
But like safe, like something's that if you're not something that's gonna involve
expoding Ron's and I don't know. We can think you about it, but
first I think I owe you a proper a proper, a proper date that
doesn't end with a physical injury when I when I hug definitely, oh,
I'm sorry. Let me make it up to you and I as quick as
I can give for a peck and cheap yeah his sausages and I run out
to what's a great hole? Gail looks like she hasn't slept. There's bags
under her eyes, and she mumbling a little bit to herself or something as
she's making her way over to your table, and you're remembering that there were
patients in Saint Mungo's that had gone mad before. Alex and Maisie are sitting
down at the table having a little bit of food before the rest of swat
rhyme. Gail is acting strangely. What do you do? I hold Alex's
hand first and foremost. Yeah, I'll talk to her. You just you're
the you're the backup, you're my bodyguard. Yeah, okay, okay,
I'm coming with you. Okay, I stand up and Alex, Yeah,
you want to just just in case, right, Yeah, I'll I've heard
of my sleeve just a little bit. Let's pretend everything's normal. We don't
notice her looking strange. Uh, Gil, are you are you feeling okay?
You look a bit, look a bit. Hell. I haven't talked
to them, I haven't looked at them, wondering myself. I'm I like
him, but he's never responded, never responded, never responded. I can't.
I can't who can't? What? What? Yale? Man? Gail?
Are you are you feeling okay? You look at that a little upset,
maybe tired. Are you feeling? Okay, he's talking to me,
but he's not the one. He's not the one. I don't know where
to find with them. I'm trying, I'm trying to trying need help with
something. We would be helpful, it would should be helpful. Okay,
I can be helpful. M m what do you what do you need?
No? And you're not you're not. I'm not, Gail, okay,
who are you looking for? Her eyes sort of snap to you rather quickly
and a bit harshly, Mazy, mm hmmm mm hmmm, who are you
looking for? Looking? I very slowly walk up to her, I don't
notice noticeably, and obviously put my wand away. No no, and I
offer her my hands. No no no, no no no no no no
no no I okay' no no no, it's okay, Gail. No,
no, no no. I think I saw them at the hospital wing.
Actually, great, Mazy, please make a convinced role around the great hall
are looking on and concern. There's several several students that are seeming like getting
up from tables, and I would like one of you to try and notice
something. I'm guessing it might be mazy because Alex is talking to Gail right
now. Here's my convents and ain't let me get my moves. Is this
with my Alex relationship, with any relationship he's speaking to Gail right now.
I don't think so. S ten Mazy. You notice something, uh,
primarily these students getting up, several of them. What would you like to
ask me? Ask me two questions? And I noticed something lest Alex,
which one is content I think I don't think I can brahm her and next
state certainly m hmm. I'm gonna say they do it, but are now
terrified of you. Maybe because in her manic stage, she's scared of the
fact that I know who she's talking about and she hasn't said and knows where
they are, or something I've managed to confuse her somewhat or something I don't
know. Okay, this is the hospital wing, the hospital wing, and
they're often in the hospital wing. I suppose maybe maybe the hospital wing makes
the most sense. Yes, yes, that does make sense. And you
can see the gale at some point as her wand out. She doesn't have
it pointed in any specific direction, but she is maybe gesturing with it Okay,
I have my wants kind of slipt into my hand, sort of hiding
it by my leg a little bit, and can it partially with my sleeve?
And I'm trying just to be sound about it and not because anyone to
what are you freak out? Okay? Uh, Mazie, you notice something,
you can ask me two questions. Did it seem dangerous? Hmm?
I don't think so. Okay, I'm I don't know if you're gonna let
me do this. I would like to know what it feels like. But
I don't mean touch. And I'm wondering if maybe, like Rosie has been
teaching me about vibes, I'm trying to pick up on the vibe in the
room. I'm trying to pick up on what these people have noticed and why
they're moving. I'd like to know what it feels like, what the sense
of the situation is. Can I ask that is that? I don't think
so, primarily because this is this is related to your senses as opposed to
your feelings. Okay, yeah, we can read between the lines. Yeah.
If in that case, I would like to ask sweth a try that's
right. In that case, I would like to ask how do we get
out of here? Here being I's gonna say, danger here, how do
we get out of here? I don't know how else to ask that question.
Well, Gail would be in between you and the doors to the Great
Hall. I think you have a few ways that you can get out of
here, making a run for the doors or I don't know if being sneaky
is a possibility unless you create a distraction, but I would say that those
are probably the most obvious ways. Right now, I is Gail moving,
Yes, she's probably walking somewhat erratically, not necessarily in any certain direction.
I think she's sort of following gestures that she's making. I would like to
walk alongside Gail, and I'd like to hold my hand out without my wand
and mimic the patterns that she's mimicking. Walk at the same rate as she's
walking, and the things that she's saying. I want to say, back
to there, that's been doing there, that's been doing there, that's been
doing And as we walk past, I turn over my shoulder and I look
at Alex and I would like to cast the spell that Barney uses to write
the text in the in the air but behind her, so she can't see
it. In fact, as small as possible near, Alex. Okay,
you can cast a spell that's a year one spell. So you have a
plus two on the spell. Oh, you don't add in the plus.
No, no, you did, and you have to put in the plus.
So you rolled a six and you actually would have gotten an eight with
that. So uh, okay, an eight is a partial success. What
do you think happens? As there are side effects? Please choose two?
When they cast a spell, list, the spell is different than what you
were expecting. I think it's much smaller. I tried to. I tried
to make it really subtle, and I think it's it's it's just a little
been to a little bit too small. Yeah, And can I choose who
is alerted? If I say somebody is alerted? No, damn, my
wand is thrown from my hands and lands nearby. Okay, the text reads,
get to the headmistress, protect swaff. But it's really, really,
really small. I'll let you decide what you got from that, Alex.
But the text was very small, and you see Maisie's wand sort of flung
from her hand as she casts the spell. The casting of the spell and
the wand sort of being flung from your hand catches Gale's vision. She sort
of glances at the wand as it hits the ground. What do you do,
Alex, I castic spelling armis on on gil Okay, yeah, that's
a year to spell. It's I get a plus one. I just saw
the writing and then uh means he's wand falling and I couldn't make it the
writing I saw the one that I just panicked. That's a tan. You
see the wand fly from Gail's hand. She sort of spins around and says,
no, no, no, no no no no no no no.
I need that. I need that, I need that, And she turns
and she sort of looks a bit strange. The wand sort of spins in
the air, and similar to what you saw happen in the Room of Requirement,
you see the wand hesitate for a moment. No no no, no,
no, no no no no, and it starts to humble towards your
hand. Alex and you switch scenes outside to the Great Hall, where we
see Rosie, Clem and Olive making their way towards the Great Hall. The
three of you can see several students leaving the Great Hall. It looks a
bit odd to you, as the students aren't seemingly talking and they're walking out
of the Great Hall in a fairly large group. There might be like twenty
students or so, which is strange to see them all sort of like moving
together, like near the beginning of dinner. Uh hey, did dinner just
start? Or is it ending? What time is it? I don't know.
I thought that we had time, but I guess it must be ending.
That's like, is there a clock around here that we can look at?
There would there would be the clock tower. A lot of students maybe
glance outside to look at the time on the clock tower. But there are
probably clocks here and there, like probably like grandfather clocks, and it is
like the beginning of the dinner, so I would be able to glance and
see, hey, no, that is the beginning of dinner. Clim Do
you think something's wrong? Uh? Yeah, I mean I think everybody got
diarrhea. Oh maybe, well let's check check it out. Yeah. Olive
kind of nods her head and she says something strange, And what would you
like to do? What are you checking out? I want to I want
to go in everybody's leaving. I want to go on where they're where they're
leaving. Same Okay. You enter the Great Hall and Olive says, I
don't like where they're going. Why is everyone moving together? And she's going
to split off and follow these students, and she says, I'll be right
in okay, ah, okay. That makes me nervous, but like she's
so good with her wand like, yeah, it should be okay, I'll
be fine, and it'll be fine. We'll just go in here and everybody's
gonna be fine. It's just that maybe I put too much salt in the
mashed potatoes. You walk in, maybe it's just and you see Alex and
Mazie sort of surrounding, not necessarily surrounding, but hovering around Gail Great Twig.
Several students are remarking at this and sort of pointing and like asking questions
and stuff. Lots of whispering and things going on in the Great Hall,
but everyone seems to be captivated by whatever's happening there. Why is Gail there?
I don't know. I'm gonna start like speed walking towards the scene,
and you see the wand fly out of Gail's hand up in the air and
start flipping end over end towards Alex. He's just cast an expelling armus.
Now I'm running, I think to get there, like sort of digging,
you know, trying to get through people ducking around. I grab my wand
with both hands, and I pointed at my own ropes and I say,
I cast in flat us on myself. I'm trying to create a robe bubble
to block the wand the best idea you could come up with in the moment,
Alex cast a spell. You see Alex start to baluon up as his
robes begin to expand around him and Alex, you see the wand head towards
your hand and the nature of expelliarmus, even though you're still your robes are
inflating, the wand is still looks like it's landing towards your hand. Clam
is rushing over, Mazie, what are you doing. I'm running as well.
I want to push him out the way. He is not touching that
one. Yeah, is between you and Alex. Gail has Gail has her
back towards Uh, turned towards you and is looking at Alex and the wand
you're pushing Gail out of the way. Uh no do I? Okay,
have I seen Clem presumably yes, if she's give me a notice of something.
Yeah, relationship with clam Yes, okay. I bear hug Gail,
like grab her around her waist, pull her really tightly and pull her back
like onto me, like I tackle her out of the way, but I
tackle her towards me to like just get her to the ground and grab her
and sort of spin her. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay,
um you get you grab Gail, who immediately starts to fight you as
you grab her, and I need to struggle role amazing. Okay, that
is a four. So what happens is you grab Gail and she screams at
the top of her lungs. It is a blood curdling scream, as if
someone has just seen their worst nightmare before them. It chills all of your
bones. It is so loud and it reverberates through the Great Hall that I
would like all four of you to please try and show courage. I would
like to works about it cly succeed please. I would also like to automatically
succeed, please, Okay, Rosie and Alex on a six or below.
The situation feels beyond you. You cower in fear, running from the fight
and take a minus one forward. When challenging it, Mazie, you and
Clem are unshaken. However, Mazie Gale breaks free as you try and wrestle
her away from Alex. She breaks free, screaming like she has gone mad,
and rushes towards Alex. Alex, the wand is heading towards you,
and you're trying to avoid it, but Gail's scream makes you lose focus and
you grab the wand in your hand. Suddenly, Alex hear familiar whispering.
Oh no, no, this isn't the one. This isn't the one.
This isn't the one. No no, no, no, no no,
this isn't the one. No no, no no no, please please you
have to. If you don't find them, everything is lost. Everything is
lost. Everything is lost. Yale rushes towards you, and she tries to
grab the wand from your hand. Alex, However, you are inflated.
She sort of bounces away from you as you start to float up above the
ground, your toes just barely touching the floor. As you start to float
upwards, you can see now that several prefects have their wands out and they
are pointing them at gear and they're pointing them in your general direction, saying,
what's going on? There? Is the one that Gail's one's cursed?
Huh? I like I wave it, trying to let it go and drop
it. You're trying to let it go, and I need you to try
and resist influence. Please, Alex, you have a minus head of minus
one as well. Okay, can I find my wand I'd like to try
and rEFInd my wand that got costed away from you. I need to get
a situational analysis here from Clem. Though I'm rushing towards you, I was
rushing towards Uh and the moment that I was seeing Gail, I mean,
I don't know my plan. Originally it was the moment I was seeing Gail
kind of like rushing and fighting. I was gonna try and cast a spell.
But now that there are prefects around, I'm not sure if I would
be allowed to like rush into the fray, but I would like to.
I would like to run in and cast a spell. Yeah, what are
you doing? I would like to cast petrificus totalis on Gail on Gail,
Okay, yeah, it's a year one spell, so that gives me two
plus. Still you don't put this plus inn Clem rushes forward. We see
Clem robes behind her, rushing towards Gail. Alex looks to be out of
sorts. He's sort of floating up in the air, and suddenly Clem is
there, petrificates totalis. We see Gail freeze up as she's about to grab
you, Alex, and she just sort of carries forward with her momentum and
and bounces off of you and then falls backwards onto the ground. The prefects
are yelling holdly right there, and several of them are pointing wands at you.
Clem. She's going after the the wand is cursed. She was going
to hurt him. Please make okay okay, Clem. Prefects sort of look
at each other and he said, no, the cursed wand we need the
head mistress quickly, get the head mistress. Rosie. What are you doing?
I well, you said I flee, so I assume I'm cowering towards
like the entrance of the of the Great Hall. You can see several students
have sort of like done similar things. They're sort of hiding underneath tables or
behind benches and whatnot. And Rosie is just sort of cowering near the doorway
to the Great Hall, maybe just on the other side, sort of just
hugging herself as this chill has run down her spine. Rosie, it might
be happening again. It might be something out of your control, and maybe
one of your friends is hurt. You don't know. Did anybody see what's
happening in sun? Did anybody see what was going on in some Did anybody
see Alex was okay? No, you see pure effects rushing out. It's
another coast wound. And I had mistress, And you see a prefect probably
rushing past as quickly as be Nanny Bucklin is probably somewhere just outside, making
her way to the Great Hall. You can hear the Prefect talking with her
near the end of the hall, but we join the rest back inside.
The prefects are walking closer and closer to Gail on the ground, a horrible
expression of terror and fear on her face, and maybe a touch of complete
panic. You see her on the ground, Mazie Clem and Alex is starting
to mutter to himself as he's trading in the air. As as as gay
Al went down, I ran to her to be there, and I think,
try and catch her, but I probably would have missed it because too
much was going on. I'd like to look for my wand is that something
I can easily find? You can find it. I would like to point
my wand at the wand that Alex is holding and cast wing Guardian Levosa on
the wand okay, as spell please for me? Is this with my relationship
with Alex? It is? And okay, Guardian Levosa is a year one
spell you and it's my spell bank about as high as a bonus you can
possibly get. Oh my god, rolled a two and a one plush well
five plus five might be the highest modifier we have seen thus far. Partial
success, still good, but there are side effects. Choose too from the
less please may see something or someone is alerted to the casting of this bout.
I scream it everybody, every single person in the in the gray hall,
like it's it's not hard, just not hard. And I think I
think the one that makes most sense. I hate to say it, but
the one that makes most sense is that one of the other players takes a
condition and being Alex. So we see the wand fly from Alex's hand hovering
just above, but he is sort of affected by this. What do you
think happens, Alex? I think, as it has pilled upwards and out
of my hand, I'm sort of pilled up to maybe I had some of
the floating candles or something and get a bit singed or burned on them.
As I'm gonna take injured, maybe one of the pokes me in the eye
or something. Thanks, Alex is injured and the wand flies from his hand.
Mazy. It feels so different than when you normally cast the spell.
Normally it feels as if you are pulling something with a string, but there
is resistance against this, as if it is very heavy and you're finding yourself
struggling, but you are doing it, keeping the wand out of his hand.
Alex, Alex, okay, the ones it's it's it's it's looking for
someone that's not not me. It's looking for someone. A prefect walks over
to you, Alex. If Aneian counts hotum, Alex begins to deflat and
fall back to the ground. H Can I dare read between the lightings on
the wan. See if I can pick up like any sort of intention from
that voice, or any sort of imagery of what it's or who it's looking
for. You can, but you have a minus one the role. Yeah,
yeah, that makes sense. And oh nothing I can. I I
tried to figure it out, but it was it hurts and save my head.
It's okay, Alex. Just just just take it easy, clem,
yeah, clem, yeah, can you can? Can you see Rosie?
H? I look around for Rosie. Do I see her? Rosie's behind
the wall. I think she's cowering, so I don't know if you could,
I think, yeah, she's probably not insight. Okay, I spin
around. I can't see her. I can't see her at all. Maybe
she want me to look. Yeah, we have to find her, get
a living and find her. But the head listress is coming. I don't
think I should leave you until that happens. It's fine. I've got this.
It's strong, but I've got this. I just can't look away.
Just please make sure everybody is okay. I'm okay. I can. I
can help you, Maisie help. No, you stay right there, you
stay right there. Oh wait, it's okay. I'm going Oli isn't here
either, I'll go find them. Yes, yes, find the man,
and somebody makes sure the headmistress is on her way. For goodness sake,
there's a prefect that is approaching the situation, the same one that casts the
spell. And you can see that it is, in fact, Rose Granger
Weasley approaching maze. Where is is that? Because it's okay, I've got
it. When Guardium Leviosa, you can feel the pressure sort of ease up,
maize. It almost feels like my like my arm has just has just
dropped. It feels like a suddenly a heavy weight has just come out of
my hand, and my arm drops. And I finally look away and I
look at her. Are you okay? I'm all right? What is happening?
Is it the cursed Wand? Yes, the Wand is cursed. Gail
had it. I don't think she's very well. I don't think it's her
fault. I think it's the Wand. And Alex touched it and I think
he's going to be okay, And Clem stopped her, stopped Gail, Samuel,
can you check on Gail? Please? You see the Slytherin prefect?
Uh, sort of walk on over slowly towards Gale wand drawn. It's just
a pretrificust tell us. I run to Gail, put my hands on her
and shout at him, don't touch her. I'm not going to touch her.
It's not her fault. I'm just trying to see what's wrong. He
bends down and looks at her. She doesn't look good. I don't know
how long this has been going on. What can I do? How can
I help? As you say that, you can see Nanny Bucklin walking in
the Great Hall with Rosie sort of in one arm, sort of being hugged
to the side, and Nanny Bucklin has a wand in hand, and she
says, all right, everyone, everyone please leave the Great Hall except for
the prefects. Is clam with them. I think I didn't leave. I
think I'm still here. Okay. I think that we're witnesses to this and
we shouldn't leave. We should be here for when the headmistress comes. Yes
that, several of the other students begin to stand up and walk out.
The wand voice, the wand voice, and it's trying to do something with
someone's trying to It needs a person. I don't know how but it's it's
look, it's trying to do something. I don't think it's a the curses
either the curse is like a person or a person's using the curse. The
car it's like a like a I don't know them. Into the cafeteria,
you see a gray cat rushing in at full speed, and suddenly it turns
into Headmistress Macgonagall wand drawn. She says, what is going on in here?
Everyone? All right? Gail's wand. Gail's wand was cursed, and
it's not her fault. Okay, it's not it's not her fault. Her
wand was cursed, and and she's she's looking for somebody. The wand is
looking for somebody, and Alex caught it and and Clem Clem saved everybody because
we don't know what Gael was going to do, so that's why she casts
petrificus total us, and the wand is looking for somebody. Head Mistress Alex
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you said it was like
looking for somebody, right, like a army or something. Oh. When
I got that, it said that I that I was wrong and it had
to get someone else or it would all go wrong or not work or something.
And when I when I told her, told Gail to go to the
hospital wing, she said that was right, that they're there often. Maybe
it's somebody who often goes to the hospital wing. Somebody just often goes to
the hospital wing. Do you know where Olive is, head mistress Olive?
What do you mean, Olive everglade? Do you I would have assumed that
she would be with you. We we lost it seems we lost her in
the pray I think, flying into the Great Hall on a broom landing nearby.
It's Harry Potter in the horror that was with him. What's going on?
Gail's wand Gail she her wand it was cursed and somebody is cursing people's
wands and looking for somebody, somebody or some people who are in the hospital
wing all the time, and in the hospital wing. I don't know where
Olive is, mister mister Potter, I don't know where Olive is. Nobody
knows where Olive is. Go look for Olive and you can see the other
sort of uptight horror that was with Harry sort of says, don't you think
we should now? She nods her head and flies off out of the Great
Hall. Harry's got his wand sort of drawn and he he is walking over
and he says, Rose, it's okay, don't worry. I can handle
the wound. You can let it go. We can guard him leviosa.
And Rose transfers control of the spell to Harry and you can see his arms
sort of dip and Rose sort of you can hear her sort of grunt like
as well as she lets go of the spell. Oh, something is definitely
strange. Had mistress the wand is fighting. It feels like Rose sort of
pipes up and says it felt heavy. Yeah, it felt really heavy,
mister Potter. The cloth right, He makes another motion ending the Winguardian leviosa
spell, and you can see the wand begin to fall down towards the ground,
and Harry points to a cloth from his pocket that sort of flies out
and you can see it wrap itself around the wand and the wand falls to
the ground. Okay, uh, what what happened? The the wand?
Gail her wand was cursed like ours? And then the voice that comes through
the wand was angry that that I got it because I was the wrong person
and it needs the right person for some reason. But it it does things
to your head when you hold the wand unlike it. Are you all right,
mister Peppen, I think so. I I I just didn't inflate this
and I bumped against some of the candles. But that's that's about it.
And my head is just I don't like things in my head. Yes,
very well, mister Potter. I'm going to summon the rest of the professors.
We're going to have more of a look at this wand, in particular
the rest of you. Are you all right, miss a Cloud, I'm
okay. It's scale still here. She was like really loud earlier and it
like really threw off my chakras. It's just scream was so scary for her,
Like a house. The one feels like it's like it's like someone is
using the wand curse to like to I don't know, it's it feels like
the WAND controls you, but it's like the voice and the WAND tells you
or something. It's like the WAND is sending them mad to the government,
I don't think so. Miss missus Buckling, if you could please be so
kind to take this great wig to the hospital. Wing. Please, yeah,
said mistress, And she's going to sort of bend down her towering body.
Pick up Gail great Wig, I've left Nanny. Gail was looking for
someone when we saw her here. She doesn't look well like she looks.
And then she said she was looking for someone, and she was talking to
herself a lot, and she said that it wasn't me that she was looking
for. You know that it's not you, and perhaps not Missus Skuyler,
since she was here as well, Missus Goodsanders, did she see you at
all? I don't think so. I kind of came up behind her before
casting the petrificus hotalis. And when did this happen? Did she she approach
you? No, she was. I think Maysie was trying to restrain her
from moving in any way, and she got away, and I wanted to
protect them. She seemed to be moving against her will maybe so I thought
a petrificus hotealis would be the best way to do that. Mister Pippin,
Miss s Guiler, how did missus Gregewig appear before we she she approached you?
What happened before everything? She was walking up this I and she and
she just didn't look great. She had her wand in her hand like already,
so that was a bit concerning. And then I just panicked and expelling
armisted that because she she wasn't Gail well, she wasn't well her mistress.
She she looked like some of she looked like some of which is? And
was its that I saw when I visited my mom some hungers. I just
walk up to me as in hold her hand. Tears just rolled down my
face. I'm gonna shake her hand on grace, stand next her. I'm
coming into yeah, put my hand on her shoulder, probably mistress. I
think it's looking for all of What makes you say that she's the only one
that's not here and we don't know where she is. And I tried to
trek Gail into going to the hospital wing by saying, the other person you're
looking for is there, and she said, oh, they are often there.
And I mean, if you're being honest, my friend and I we're
there a lot, so it's likely to be one of our friends. And
I mean Barney's n Raven Claus. So it was him, then she'd be
able to find him. And Raven clare Tever and olives the other one,
maybe Lelly or she shares a look with Harry and he says, head mistress.
There was also something else that was strange. As I was flying here,
I saw several students dispersing from the courtyard. Do you mean dispersing,
mister Potter? Well, I don't know. It seems strange to me.
I was flying here and it must have been twenty or so students. They
seem to be rushing in all different directions. Why would they be doing that
dinner head only just started. I don't know, but it seemed like there
was more of panic here. Go investigate, mister Potter. Right, i'll
check back in. I'll meet you back at your office and i'll try and
well, oh, i'll see if I can find olive as well. Do
that, please, mister Potter, make that a priority? Yes? Please?
Do you think it's do you think it's calling? Try and don't say
it. He's supposed to be and don't say it. Okay, Okay,
I want I won't let it. I'll get them this time. I've been
practicing. I can't let all live be Lea, Yeah, I won't.
We'll all live one. She already beat him once technically, so and Gail.
She didn't deserve this. She didn't she didn't do anything wrong. She's
in the wrong place. I think Gail is going to be okay, and
all of it is going to be okay, and we move forward with the
knowledge that they're going to be okay until until we know for sure if they're
not. I think I think I'd like to go with Gail, show me
come with you too. No, I'd like you to stay on. I
think minds he's just the call to each other. Okay, we don't know
who it is, and oh, who's gonna look after you. I'll be
in the hospital wing. I'll be fine if anything happens to me, I'll
be in the right place. I'm I'm gonna grab Mazie sort of gently but
firmly, like lovingly firm by the shoulders. Alex can go with you.
I will look for Olive. I will find Olive about Rosie, I mean
she can. I'll help find Olive too. After game, I'm like behind
the wall of the door to the Great Hall. Wait. I thought she
brought me. I thought she was hippy. But you ran away again after
Gail. I just stepped away from Gail. Yeah, so all you and
I will team up and claim and Rosy will team up. Alex is also
You and Alex are the perfect people to be there for when Gail wakes up,
okay, because she'll be worried about she'll be worried about hurting our feelings
and stuff, and we can just we can just nip that in the butt
right away. And Alex has heard the wand and yeah, but you and
I know the wand stuff, so when she talks about it, we can
say, yeah, we know what happened with us today and it's okay,
you're good. We can we can help her feel okay, that's Lily,
Take Lily. The more people, the better are okay, and stick together.
Don't don't get unstuck. No, we won't. You promise me.
I promise no one's sticking. I reach into the inside of my robe,
where I still have some cookies left over that we took to the hospital wing,
and I and I give one to to Rosie to the hospital wing.
Please, Miss Granger Weasley help these to find Miss Everglade. Yes as Mistress
and missus Nanny Bucklin picks up Gail Gray Twig and she begins to walk off.
I walk with touching Gayle. I imagine there's like a hand hanging down
or something like or slowly she was, She's still I think in that because
then I'm reaching reaching up like a like a toddler trying to get adults attention,
like trying to try to reach up to like touch her. Will be
close still hiring some way, and Rosie and clem Rose Granger Weasley, Uh
says or right, are you coming see if we can find Olive? Yeah,
yeah, we probably know where she could be, just we know her
spots, I guess. But let's start from where was the last place you
saw her? Rosie, she like remember she went to she went to go
find all those students. She was following all the students that left. Where
all the students left. She'd probably keep going with them if they kept walking.
Do we know which direction those students were walking in? Whack Harry just
said that they were in the courtyard and they seem to have all spread out.
Okay, so Harry, but mister big Harry flew off on his mister
Peper. Mister Peper said they were in the courtyard, so maybe she went
out there with them. Yeah, let's start there, right, Let's go
and you and Rose Granger Weasley head to the courtyard, while Alex Amazing follow
missus Nanny Bucklin to the hospital wing. And I think we're going to take
our break there as something very strange is happening in Hogwarts. Yeah, that
was like where you would often faint a circus intense. Oh oh my god.
I was like, what does that have to do with a circus?
I just had to b I was trying to think of another joke, but
it would have to be big Top. That just big Top. You know
what. Both of those were bad, Thank you very much, both horrible.
My god. You know, I'm feeling kind of like a Dumbo because
I didn't get them. Please, I can't keep lying and saying I like
these jokes. All right, everybody, we're gonna take a little bit of
a break here, give the cast a chance to recover and get some food
or use the bathroom, et cetera. And I'll leave the scary music on

All right, follow me as you three, Rose, Rosalina, and Clem
head out with Rose Ranger Weasley to the courtyard. You see that there are
no students in the courtyard. Okay, I got this, I got olive,
olive. I was almost positive that would have worked. I would like
to investigate what would you like to investigate the exits of the courtyard, to
be like, do I see anyone have I through anyone trampling of grass?
Sure, let's see the twelve Oh Clem. You walk over to the grass
and such, and you begin looking around at the various exits. You can
ask me some questions. Yeah, yeah, Is there anything strange physically about
this? Mm hmm. You can definitely see evidence of people recently been through
here. People have recently been through here. Rather there's I imagine maybe there's
bits of grass that have that has sort of made its way onto the paths
uh, you know, leading in from the central part of the courtyard.
Maybe some mud you're in there, mm hmm. Hard to distinguish necessarily what's
recent, but maybe it's like some wet mud. You know that you might
see like a like a like a footprint or something leading into the Transfiguration corridor,
leading into the Transfiguration corridor. Okay, and while I have you,
hm, is there any remaining magic here? How do I answer that?
It's not an easy question for me to answer, believe it or not?
No, okay, there's some mud leading into the transfiguration a whole area.
Maybe we could head that way. Do you have like a magnifying glass clip?
No? I just used my eyes. But yeah, what rose uh
wanders back over to you. I didn't see all live anywhere. I think
we're going into this weird corridor. It's a normal corridor, but it's weird
because it has mud on it. Also, should we come up with the
nickname system? Do you want to call me Yogi instead of Rosalina because you're
in Our names are so similar? Okay, yeah, okay, Yogi?
It is nice. All right, let's go. You step into the Transfiguration
corridor. Has Rosie whispers to you? Do they she hates me? No?
Okay? And you do what? You're looking up and down? You're
walking around? What are you doing? Do we try the yelling thing again.
No, I think maybe like we should look around first, okay,
okay with your magnifying glass. Yeah, my eyes, I would like to
uh like, I don't. Can I investigate again? Can I keep investigating
this area? Uh? Not the same area? Can I investigate? It's
a different area? Right? Well, you walked into a transfiguration corridor.
Uh, I guess we could just walk? Can I follow the mud footprints
on the ground? Yeah, I think definitely. You don't have to make
a role for that. Okay, cool, cool, Yeah, these people
need to learn how to wipe their feet. Clem growth, but also very
helpful. You can see that the footprints are heading in this direction. Oh,
basically one of the exits outside school. I'm so sorry. Could you
show that again? Sure? Ah? Okay? Are they edit towards the
wombing willow? I mean it looks like maybe we should hurry because they've got
quite a leg on us. Okay, I don't like that anything, Radio
ones. Yeah. Rose sort of walks at a hurried pace as she begins
to head out towards one of the exits leading out onto the basically onto the
ground outside of the castle, round the same spot where the womping willow is.
As you begin to head out of the castle, you can see that
there are students, we'll say three of them that are near the wall,
probably just outside the reach of the womping willow. Hey, what are you
doing? Are they so close swamping willow? Why would they do that?
I don't know, but it's very dangerous. Hey, come away from the
womping willow. You could get hot. It's called the womping willow for a
reason. They seemingly disregard what you are saying. They're going to get themselves
really hot. It's just rude, honestly, isn't it. All right,
stay here and prepare your ones in case anyone does anything strange. Make sure
you cast a stupefy or the trificus totalus. Okay, okay? Should should
one of us stand like like over on the other side where they could just
gave him one of us stand on this side that way, they can't go
anywhere. I don't want you to get anywhere close to the womping willow.
Okay, long to stay away from it, then that's fine, Okay.
I wanted to stand like if if Clym is standing like where where the entrance
back into the courtyard would be I wanted to stand like in between the wall
and the north tower. It's up to you. I'd like to do that,
but like not far, just like crawling them like sheep sort of situation.
Okay, I'm where are you positioning yourself? I think if she starts
heading towards that area, then I'll just sort of pick the opposite corraling side.
Okay, so maybe somewhere like, uh, somewhere like over here,
Yeah, and Rosie are about where over here? No? No, no,
like uh, if you left click, if you left click on the
select move tool and then you left click and hold down on the map,
I left click and pull down hold down, Oh, like here, so
that they couldn't go like out towards the quiddage pitch and yeah, yeah,
and then I would be here to like prevent Yeah, so that so nobody
could go anywhere but the worm people will essentially Okay, So circling around round
Rosie heads towards the north side by in between the north tower and the end
of the wall, clem. You are sort of hovering out about in this
position, maybe by the other exit that leads out towards the vegetable garden.
Okay, Rose is approaching sort of straightforward towards these students getting this way.
I would like you to be quick and quiet, please, Rosie. Oh
see that's all right with my relationship with Clem obviously. No, I don't
think it will be Clumb's on the opposite side. She's not really near you.
Oh, it's what works is the worst feature? That's two okay,
wagon wheels down the hill. I start start car down the hill. Rosie,
you are neither quick nor quiet as you are approaching the North tower,
stepping basically on several branches and things, making all kinds of noise along the
way, and not being really quick to get into a position. You can
see that two of the students turn away from what they're doing. And now
as you're getting closer, Rosy, I would like you to make a notice
something okay, okay, okay, nice, okay, nice. You can
ask me a few questions from the notice something list. Okay. So you
said they had turned away from me when they heard me whack. Oh no
no, no, they turned towards you. They were doing something and the
wall, and two of them turned away. One of them stayed on task
Okay, uh, what is it? Like? What does it look like
over there? Like? What are they? What is that one person doing
that I shouldn't be you know, they don't want me to look at They
look like they're casting a spell, and it looks very complicated. Okay.
There's bits of light sort of falling down from their wands as if they are
particles. Okay, but I don't know what else to ask because it clearly
seems dangerous and they are already sneaking around. Uh okay, well is anyone
else sneaking around in the area? Like? Is are they the only things
around here that I should be paying attention to? What a great question?
No, I don't like that, Yes, yes there is. You notice
something that you didn't see before? I think you can see that there is
something moving about underneath the womping willow. There is a sort of small,
maybe three four foot high, a hole in between the roots of the womping
willow. Something's moving about in there. Okay and great. As these students
turned towards you, you could see their different ages, Like one is clearly
older, maybe even a seventh year, and one of them is definitely younger,
maybe like a second year. Or so what you can tell they've turned
towards you and they raise their wands. Oh okay, Rose points towards one
of them. Yeah you do, Clem, It's not exactly okay, just
checking, okay, just checking. Rose raises her wand and says stupifi and
you see the second year wave the wand in front of them and the spell
Disaippe. Rose gasps, what what do you do? Clem? Okay,
I'm running in Uh, I'm just I'm I'm I'm running forward. You running
towards Rosie or the three students? Oh? Yeah, that's a really really
good question, And I'm very glad that you gave me the option to choose
between those two things. After I already said I was running in there.
I would like to I would like to run forward. So if i'm if
I'm here and they're obviously they're like over here, I would like to maybe
run slightly forward in kind of around and maybe like with my back to Rosie
in this way. Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, at least you're not
running towards the wamping willow. What are the chances I can launch a potion
towards the wamping willow like a grenade? Oh, I want to throw my
my perfect swelling solution potion into them. Okay, I think that this is
going to be hmmmm, I mean it's definitely possible. Let's see. I
think this is going to be you struggling. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmm. I know,
I know that that's not your favorite role. I love to struggle, but
I think, no, no, it can only be a physical check to
Oh yeah, no, that makes sense. But Clem's beside me, and
I feel that the adrenaline of Clem being near me, Yeah, you might
hit Clem. Why don't you go ahead and roll? No? No,
wait, wait, no no, it comes next to me right, just
rushing towards you. Why don't you go ahead and roll? That's a time.
So you throw the potion and what potion did you say this was?
It's it's a perfect swelling solution, which swells on contact, so it's the
perfect grenade potion. Okay, now let's see. I just want to see
swelling solution. I think you can maybe hit two of them. Which two
were you aiming for? Okay, I want to hit the one that was
casting the spell and the one that like waved the wand the little second year.
That's definitely not a second year. Okay, you throw the swelling solution
and this, uh it's this dull green sort of potion. What do you
think happens is you throw this potion at them, Rosie? Okay, I
assume that I assume that they're like the closest to the tree, so that
like when I throw the potion, it like splatters against the tree and splashes
on both of them, and they just start like literally swelling in size in
front of our eyes. Okay, uh, I think any of you that
would see Rosie throw anything would recognize Rosie is probably the person that when they
throw, they somehow and end up throwing something behind them, you know,
like that the kid that you feel bad for the Yeah, yeah, they
just hit the ground or somehow it just ends up going the wrong way and
you just you can't quite work out how that happened. But Rosie launches this
potion at these kids and it's a perfect throw. Oh lands, like the
potion lands and hits the wall willow, and you see one of the branches
just start to get larger, and the little twigs on the end of the
branch start to get larger, and some of the potion lands on the students
and you can see them start to they start to enlarge in size. It's
not quite like the like the inflatus that happened to Alex. This is the
swelling postes. It causes enlargement, so you can see their robes start to
grow overly big, and they just start to overgrow on top of the students
and they get sort of all entangled up in their robes. And suddenly the
womping willows branch smacks both of these students. The third one manages to avoid
it, and as they do, you can see something strange happening. Rose
yells outwards. She says, look out, she's yelling towards you, Clem,
and you see the womping willow connect with these two students. The third
one gets out of the way, and the spell that they are casting seems
to finish as you see, almost as if there was a curtain of light
that you didn't see before, start to turn to particles and fall away as
if it were dust. The student drops their wand looks like they get a
bit dizzy and fall down to the ground and we switch scenes. M HM,
Alex Mazie, you were off towards the hospital wing following Nanny Bucklin,
and she's moving rather quickly as you're rushing to catch up. What do you
do? Maybe should we try and try and gather information from Gail. I
know she's been through something, but her mammy will be most fresh the great
way, and we might be able to help her better if we can figure
out who did is. I think I think, mostly Alex, we just
need to be kind I'm not saying that you wouldn't be kind, and I'm
not saying that we couldn't ask kindly. I'm just saying that she, Yeah,
it was really hard for her. Yeah, she needs kindness, I
get it. We'll start with that and we'll just see if she offers anything,
and we'll just let her know that it wasn't her fault and all that
stuff, and that we understand that it's okay. She could be in shock.
When you're in shock gets hard to remember things, and so I think
we just need her to know that it's okay and we're here for her,
you know, really truly, not like you know, like when people hand
you an empty sentence and it's all the right words, but somehow they're just
saying it. It's like they're saying it so they feel better, not so
you feel better. Yeah, we need to handle a very real and full
sentence and be kind. Yeah, because I read a little bit about the
stuff with people who get real sick, like because when you told me about
you know, the man and stuff at the hospital. So she just needs
support and to know that she's safe and that she did nothing wrong and that
things will get better, and then that should help her. And if she's
too panicky, then they can start, uh hidious various therapies and treatments that
lead to long term improvements in a safe environment. Right that was I think
that's what the big said. So I read a book about it because of
all letters. Maybe yeah, well, alex Well, I couldn't be there
to learn it with my eyeballs. Well, I did learn it with my
eyeballs, I guess, but with words. So I did it with words
instead of reality, I guess through somebody else's eyeballs. You didn't put it
into a text and then you looked at the text through your eyeballs, and
then so you did learn it through your eyepils, but just sort of all
through somebody else's eyeballs. Second time, dieball learning. That's crazy, alex
Well, I figured, do you know, with you with all your stuff,
that dude, whether I I had to understand it so I can understand
how you would feel, so that then I could make sure that anyway,
let's we can talk about it after we can find out we know, well
how I feel, because if you did, can you tell me? Oh
right, well, I mean I'm still working on the feelings stuff, but
I would say somewhere in the region of sad. But like, well,
see, for me, I started looking into how I can Okay, well
this is it. This is a super secret for just me and you.
But we I've thought maybe you started looking into how I can become a doctor
for stuff, just because and there's a lot. It's really you need to
be super smart, so I need to exercise my brain a lot, and
I guess I need I need to get better with the feeling stuff as well.
So you know, there's a lot. So but that was the thing,
like I feel like I wouldn't know what to do, So that's maybe
how you feel sad and in a bit frustrated at not knowing what you can
do. I think it was to become a doctor, but I can't do
that quickly. That's going to be lots and lots of That's maybe not why
Madam Pomfrey is so old. It takes so long to become a doctor.
I am okay two to one, not that I'm keeping score, but sorry,
ah okay, all right, I am fully charged and ready to help
Gale out with her She needs friendly faces, and we're maybe not the friendlies
faces, but I'm certainly feeling pretty happy right now, so hopefully she can
just absorb some of that out of the air. And I mean, you
just you just have the easy aura that makes things better when you're around,
so she'll maybe get some of that too. And here Gale begin to move
around as the petrificates Titalics is sort of worn off now Nanny. Nanny says,
all right, here, don't move around too much. Stop stop fidgeting.
What's going on? Going on? What's going on? Hospital wing?
Gail Gale, It's it's okay, it's mazy. You're all right, you're
safe, You're safe. Now. Gail's looking around a bit wildly. Her
eyes look like they can't really seem to focus on anything, as Nanny's just
trying to sort of, you know, keep her close. We're almost to
the hospital hallween, we'll explain it all, okay, I promise, Gail.
Try you closing your eyes and keeping them closed and just using your ears.
Sometimes it helps to turn your eyes off and just use your ears.
I squeeze a hand, okay, I'm sure I have. I'd start rummaging
in my pockets and out of the pocket with the cookies in it. I
pull a napkin like out from underneath all of the cookies, shake it out
and give it. It might smell a little bit like cookies, but just
in case you need it. Okay, can you squeeze my hand if you
can hear me? She's just kind of sobbing quietly. Nanny, Nanny,
can you just I'm so sorry to ask you to do this, but could
you just please stop just for a moment, please? What's wrong? Something
wrong? There's just a lot of rushing, and then this moment when Gil's
just coming rent to a sensor, she just used a little pause to just
catch your breath. I think any stuff after a right, you too,
I think, Annie Barklin. You're sort of stopped on the stairs leading to
the hospital wing nearby, probably maybe only a minute or so away. Can
okay, for just a minute, just a minute, Gale, Okay,
we're a minute away from the hospital wing, and we'll stay with you and
you won't be on your own, Okay, I promise. Yeah. And
you don't need to say anything, and you don't even need to open your
eyes if you don't want to. But you do need to know that you're
safe and we're here, and that you didn't do anything wrong, and that
everybody will be okay. All right, Please try and inspire others. That's
the soul. I don't know if I have anything that I can use here,
and I would really like to use it. Everything you did as such,
you found outs of which was the best thing to do. I think
part of your brain knew that you could lie on and ask Gale. You
can use your relationship with alc oh I can't, Okay on an eight.
You helped a little bit, and a little bit is better than nothing.
Choose one make another person feel strong, perceptive, or clever. I give
them a body, heart or mind. I think i'd like to. This
doesn't make sense. I'm sorry, Whack. I'm trying to break your system
apart today, but I want to make her feel strong. But I want
to make her feel mentally strong. Okay, so even though perceptive doesn't feel
right, it would be a heart role or a mind role? Which one
would you think? I think mind? Okay, I think mind. Okay,
she sort of. She tries to take a breath, and she says,
WHOA wouldn't stop talking to me? Yeah? Yeah, we talk,
Yeah, we we've it happened to us, took We understand it. We
had it too, really hard. But be the wand safe now. And
you're safe too. It was my wand it was your wand it was someone
does something. It's okay, kay, it wasn't you. It's not your
fault. She sobs someone and Nanny Buckland looks at you. Come on,
DearS, I'm goen to get her to the hospital. Maybe, Madam Pump,
we can do something. M hm hey, let's go. Good job,
Mazie, Good job, dear, teamwork, teamwork. You head up
to the hospital, ling and we switch back to our other group outside.
And I would like to know Rosie Lamb. Yeah, what do you do
as you see this magic begin to fall away? Is it like disappearing and
we're seeing something behind her or we're just seeing magic just like floating through the
air floating through the air. Rose sort of yells, you know, and
she's probably twenty thirty feet away from you or so. As this was happening,
he probably yells, what was that, Clym. I don't know.
I it looks like magic. I don't think that was awpful. It's particles.
He finished a spell. What are the what is this? What is
the status of the studio of the students. They're all down on the ground,
unmoving, hold on, So this like spell went off and they just
collapsed onto the ground, all of them, Yes, but two of them
were knocked out by the wamping wheeler. Or they were all knocked out by
the Okay, just the one that cast the that the potion and or the
when the spell ended, he just passed out. That's correct. Okay,
Oh cool, normal, normal, normal, I feel good. You're feeling
good? Feeling great? Uh? Solid? Do we need to get them
away from the womping willow? Should we go over there? Or like?
Should we not? We definitely need to get them away from the womping willow.
We all pick one and drag Wait can we get near the womping willow?
Is it like tired? No? You can't what if we do What
if I crawl? What if I cast a carpet retract him? We could
good idea And okay, Rose begins to cast a spell as well. Okay,
is that all you're doing? But you know, one second thought,
Before I cast a spell, I would like to notice something? Sure,
may I okay? You can ask me a question from the notice something less?
Just one? Right? M m? Is it? Does it?
Does it seem dangerous? Is this dangerous? Does what seem dangerous? Oh?
I was hoping you weren't, And ask me to climify the magic that
is happening in the air and the thing that just happened definitely does not seem
dangerous. Well that's all I got. I guess I'll you're a car fare
attractive. Now I'm so terrified. Okay, So carpe retract him is a
two second year spell, So I got plus one. Rose begins to drag
the older student that's there, the one that looks heavier. I guess it
doesn't go well. The spell does not go well. You cast the spell,
clem, I think you're just a little bit afraid of the situation.
The spell has rebounded, and you take a condition for each year past your
current year. You add another one. Now it is below your current year,
but you still take a condition here? Which condition do you think happens?
I think I will take injured? Mmm? Okay, So you begin
to cast the carpe retract him, and I think what happens is you act
incidentally grab onto the womping willow with the spell. We see this magical lasso
almost extend from your wand and it goes off course as the spell fails,
lashes onto the branch of the womping willow, and we see Clem's eyes go
like a little bit wide as the branch just sort of moves willy nilly,
dragging you forward. Clem, you sort of get launched off of your feet
and smash onto the ground as you. Miss Rose is dragging her a student
away from the womping willow. And Rosie, what are you doing? Well?
Should I just witnessed all this happening? Correct? Is there a way
I can safely approach mister Tree? Or not? Did her spell work?
Herspell worked enough to X went away? Or Rose managed to drag the seventh
year or she is in the process of dragging the seventh year OA and she
did that by car pe retracting. Would I have to cast a carpet retract
him to get to the tree or is that carpe be retracted? Now you
can suggest to me how you would like to do it, and then we
can make a roll for it. Mm hmmmmm mmm excellent. Uh what if
I passway? No? What if I tried to achio one of the students
to me instead of going to the wopping willow? You can definitely try to
do that. I think you have seen multiple times now that in an achio
spell won't drag a student though, oh she isn't it? Okay? Never
mind? Uh uh. I feel like the only thing that I think that
I could do is I have flipindo, which would that's something away. So
I'm wondering if I could get close enough to the tree and hit flippindo and
hit away a womping little thing and then drag the student away. But also
what I'm afraid of, Whack, is that you're gonna make me get close
to the student and then roll for if I can even carry the student away.
And that is a terrifying thought. So I think I'm gonna is clim
are you on? You're good, You're on the ground. Oh I'm in
pain. Are you in danger? Well, I'm underneath the womping willow.
Okay, you know what, I don't even I'm going towards the womping willow.
I'm crawling towards the womping willow. Okay, I think it will help.
Okay, she's more important. So all right, you are crawling to
the womping willow. Hmm. As you do, so you approach, Clem,
the womping willow has a sort of enlarged branch. At the moment,
you can see like this branch is extending like way too far, like it's
almost putting strain on this large willow tree. And you know, it almost
looks like a tree is growing out of the tree as opposed to a branch.
You know, like it's huge. And this is the one that Clem
was sort of like latched onto with the spell. It's sort of moving around
as it tries to sort of reposition itself back into a normal shape. It
almost looks like the tree is struggling with this. And you can hear Rose
probably in the distance, big cavel. I'm trying, Clem. Yeah,
Clem, you grab a hand. I reached to grab her hand. Yeah,
give me a struggle, please, Rosie. And this is with your
relationship with Clem. Yes, nine is a partial success on a seven to
nine. Please choose one from the struggle role when you try to struggle against
someone or something physically. I would like to continue on this rosy train and
surprise them. Okay, so the womping willow tree does not seem to react
to you doing this. You grab Clem and you start dragging Clem away.
However, Oh, there is a snarl from underneath the womping willow tree.
Oh. You see glowing eyes as night begins to fall underneath the womp and
willow tree, two golden eyes. There are claws that begin to dig into
the ground in front of this set of eyes, and Rose is sort of
yelling something from distance. Look at make cat ooh as she raises her wand
and points it towards you. Leaping out from underneath the tree, you see
something large and dog like as it rushes out from underneath the tree. You
can see you can what do you do? I would like to try to
cast flippindo Okay, to hit the creature away from us. Would this be
with my relationship with c no, but I'm holding her hand. Oh thirteen,
you cast flipendo as this dog like creature leaps from the shadows out from
underneath the tree. Rosie, what does this look like? Well, Rosie's
having a great day, so it looks like is not only in one arm,
is she pulling clim away from the tree like an absolute fireman. She's
also laying on the ground, pointing up towards the creature that's about to bounce
on them, and she's like, yeah, okay, why not? And
then she just says weveno, and it bounces the creature back away from her.
You see the creatures sort of towards the womping willow. You see the
creature sort of flip back, end over end. It sort of yelps as
it does, in fact fly back towards the womping willow, and you see
the large branch just as the creature howls in pain as the womping willow smacks
it away, the tree branch going right over the top of both of you.
You both have an opportunity to stand up. You hear Rose yelling out
of that run. Come on, we gotta go, we gotta go,
We gotta go yeah, okay, you stand up and rush away from the
wom willow. You can see that the other the uh, the other student
is being pulled by Rose, and she says the second yeah, okay,
I'm going into grot the second year man, okay, quick and quiet,
please, clem, yep? Can I can I hyper up? I don't
know if you have enough time here, Rosie. Okay, And unfortunately I
don't think it would have helped either. Oh no, that is a double
one, and you have not so much help on that one. Uh it's
a negative two and you got a plus one come from someplace else. Okay,
clem, you're you rush over to the other student. Unfortunately, the
womping willow, the other branch that is connected to it, will also make
contact with you. You still have your other injury, which is where you
got that minus two from. And I realized that after it does connect.
Tough it out as you're hit by the womping willow branch, Okay on a
six or lower your hurt badly. Choose one from the tough it out list.
Please pass out or flee you're cursed, severely injured, or deeply affected
by it, or take all three options. From the seven to nine list.
Okay, honestly, if I just got hit by this swamping willow right
like full full barrel, I think big, not the big like enlarged branch,
but one of the other ones. Okay, I honestly think I'm probably
severely injured. I think it probably like really like knocks me out and maybe
you break something. Yeah, I think it like kicks my but oh yeah,
maybe it like breaks some ribs. Yeah. I think it probably breaks
a couple of ribs. Yeah, I probably get chucked. There's a horrible
uh wo sound as you hear Clem yell in pain, Rosie, no,
you're rushing away. She gets thrown and tossed away from the tree and closer
to you, but she lands hard on the ground, sort of hitting the
dirt and sort of rolling as she lands. The second Year is still underneath
the tree, and you hear Rosey yelling, I'm I'm don't care at this
point, I don't think I care about the second year. I'm I'm dragging
in Clem to safety. She's we've done enough. Okay, we've done enough.
The hoover and knows the wolf could come back. Come my god,
it is she are you completely unconscious. I think I'm not injured. She's
just severely injured. Yeah, Clem, this you're in a lot of pain.
Yeah, I think that you're you're talking to me and you're just associating,
but I'm gone. Yeah, I'm probably just almost like you're hearing that
ringing, you know, like that, Yeah, like when an explosion goes
off. Almost I'm going to try to scoop like my arms underneath you,
like here and and pull you backwards away from the tree. Ruggle cream a
little bit rosy, and this will be your relationship with Clem. Okay,
oh thank god. And seven, Uh, you struggle against someone or something
taking damage. Choose one from the list of struggle. I'm just gonna shrug
off the damage here. I think that I'm like the adrenaline is pounding so
hard in my ears that I just like, don't even notice that I'm in
pain. Okay, Uh, you are. You're pulling Clem basically. And
uh, there's probably some dirt and rocks that are kind of thrown by like
the womping willow, you know, as it's sort of like slapping the ground
with the with the with the branches. Rocks are sort of tossed and you're
you know, you're hit by some debris, a few cuts and stuff flying
past, but you grab Clem pull her out of range. Rose is trying
to reposition herself, so she's trying. You can see she's cast another carpe
retract them, and she's trying to pull the student as she's moving, digging
her heels in and kind of like pulling the student out of range of the
womping willow. The womping willow slowly starts to settle back down. As you
are out of range? What are what are the things that Clym? What
are your wounds that you have listed? She's visibly injured, Yeah, I
mean injured. Okay, I have my hufflepuff automatically succeed on treat wounds.
I don't know if you'd be able to do that right here in the midst
of this. You probably need to get someplace safe, okay, okay,
okay, Clem, can you walk? Can you hear me? Are you
okay? Uh? Uh? I can try. If you cannot walk,
you shouldn't walk. I'm just gonna like maybe like grab onto her arm and
try to pull myself up. I don't think are my legs broken at all.
Rigs, yeah, the ribs. It's really hard to breathe. Okay,
I think I can walk. I think my legs are okay. Okay,
if you think you can walk, then we can walk. Okay,
Okay, I do you want to, I'll hold you up. Okay,
okay. Thanks. It's Rose near us or has she left with the other
student. Rose is trying to reposition herself, so she's trying to get the
student out of danger, and she's trying to sort of circle around towards you
at the same time. Okay, I'm just going to start. Can you
ping on the map where we are? I would assume that you're right by
the north tower, okay. There, trying to like follow around the edge
of the wall to take us back inside as far away from the womping willow
as possible. Slow and steady Roses dragged the student out and away and sort
of the three students are on the ground there and Rose is sort of trying
to catch her breath. Well you do, okay, I'm fine. Clym
is injured and nobody can go back for the other students. Also, there's
like a wolf in there, I think, so I've got them. I'm
sorry. I tried to get the second year. I was brave and foolish
and it was very cool. But you cannot do that again. You did
fun, I'm sorry, it's okay. What was that thing? I don't
do we know what it was like? Did I like it? You?
I think you were hurt. And I don't think it got a great look,
okay, okay, not even when I hit it with my spell spectacularly
with the thirteen. I think I got like three broken ribs. Yeah,
I think Rosie, you're probably a little too worried about clam all right,
fair, I don't know it had it had talent. It was putting claws
in the ground and it sounded like this, right. Would you say that
was right? Clym, I don't know. But whatever it was, it's
not here. The wamping will or not its way, and I couldn't see
what happened. It's getting too dark. Okay, should we go inside because
I'm scared and I don't want it to come back, and I don't want
to be anywhere near that tree ever again in my life. Just to be
clear, what did you see that student doing? Because what I saw what
I saw the student doing was well. I think I saw the professors doing
something similar when they were securing the school before the school years started. I
think those are the wards. I think you're right, and we switched scenes
in the hospital wing, we see Alex and Maizie at the foot of Gail
Great Twigs bed as Madame Pomfrey and Nanny Bucklin. I've been explaining what had
happened. What do you do? It wasn't her fault, really wasn't.
Just so you know, I experienced that before, so I can tell you
maybe a little of what she's feeling, because it will be hard for girl
right now. So well, actually truly hard to describe. It's like there's
a voice in your head that's really loud, and it's scary, and you
feel sort of powerless and confused and not like yourself. It's that about,
right, Maisie. Yeah? That how about covers? It? Like you
like you're swirling downe the sink, but you are the sink, but you're
also she or like a sink puppet. Yeah, Gail hasn't stopped crying.
She's just kind of bundled up in like the fetal position on a bed.
Gail. I know it might be hard to say things. But is there
anything or or anyone that might help to have her anything from your dorm?
Oh maybe just a really nice blanket or a book. I've got it,
got some books. She's still crying and you may be here, my cat,
Oka, your cat. I'll pop to the common room and see if
it's there, and if not, I'll ask one of the prefects to get
to get friends Semester, Princess kat. What's your cat's name again, Cails,
Whiskers, that's right. Yeah, I'll ask one of the prefects to
get Weskers. And Weskers is friendly, so I'll be able to just carry
Weskers back. Is it okay? Is it okay? If I give Weskers
some sausage, I keep them on me for Benny. This like sausage.
I have good little sausage nibbles, an easy out. She's still crying.
She doesn't respond. Okay, I think it's a good idea, Alex,
Yeah, I can do that. I'll okay, Whiskers and Mazie. You'll
stay here with you, so if you need anything else, you just let
her know. I'll be right. Yeah. I'm just gonna see Madam Pomfrey
just for a second before I go mm hmm, I'm Madame Pomfrey. I
made a potion as a thank you. I know you can make them really
good and stuff, but you're so busy. So I meet this ye a
mixed potion because you you helped well, you help me and my friends a
lot. So if you would like, you can have it. Oh,
thank you, mister, Oh sir, quite good, Thank you very much.
Yeah, I really yeah. Okay that that that was all. I
just wanted to say, thank you for all for being a very good boy.
Okay, I'm gonna go fetch we understanding is very kind. That ten
points for Raven, Pa, thank you. I'll go fetch weskers for Gail.
M hmm okay, I'll be right back, Gil Mazie, I'll go
fetch whiskers. We'll see you soon, okay. H rush off to Raven
Clott. Alex sends out, Maze. I would like you to please notice
something for me. Something is happening out the window. I would like you
to choose something from the notice something less there please for your question. Does
it seem dangerous? No, it definitely seems strange. You see a few
students outside and it looks like they're casting a spell, illuminated by some of
their wand light as they do so, and you can see light begin to
fall all around them. And as it does so, there is a strange
sound from inside the hospital. You've heard it before. Amazing. It's the
sound of someone operating. And that is where we're going to end the session
today. Oh my, isn't that interesting? That was the most metal episode
that we've had in so long. Dude. I was like, so metal,
dude, totally tubular with this. That's just how I talk. Okay,
that was a vile ego California surfer, a Canadian in the world.
My god. So bravo Wax Stephen, thank you, bravo to you as
well. We're going to do our end of session stuff. We're going to
start if anybody feels like they've acted counter to their traits at least I've mm
hmm. I was gonna say, I don't. I don't feel that maybe
was as anxious she she she was though she did everything, but she was
very terrified about it. So it's the Yeah, I don't know, I
still think of her as anxious. Yeah, uh, I feel like alex
is becoming less and secure. Okay, Well, I'm going to leave that
up to you in terms of whether you think that warrants a change in your
traits. I don't if you feel I think they're almost there. Is it
locked right now? It is not locked currently, but it's number three on
my list. Maybe this warrants a switch. Maybe it's going down. I
think, yeah, just to go down the list a bit for sure.
Yeah, yes, I'm gonna swap it the bottom one, which is reckless,
because I think his lack of insecurities making them a little bit more reckless.
Just doing things all right. Relationships plus one minus one. I think
I'm gonna plus one to Clem for you know what we just went through.
I'm gonna give a minus one to Clam because she said the maze restrained.
She used the word restrain, and that's got a lot of connotations for Mazie
that are very very hard to understand. And I think Mayzie feels much further
away from Clem because she thinks Clem thinks that she is somebody that she's not
because of the connotations that she holds with these words and talking about restraining.
Gail. Okay, ow, I'm gonna give my plus one to Rosie for
the same reason that she gave me a plus one, basically that she got
me out of there. Okay, music gets my plus one. We we
team worked the hand out of that situation. And yeah, I feel like
like Alex felt like he could act because Mazie was there as well. So
it's like, now, even in the most intense situations, they know they
can rely on each other and that's just and it just brings them, brings
them much closer. Excellent. Okay, remember if you did a minus one,
Ezy, get that extra extra xp uh classes school rolls, remember if
you have any bonus from last week or anything, to make sure you add
that. Wow, that might be the highest. Such a good day.
Wow, Wow, excellent rolls. Holy cow climb not so much unfortunately.
Okay, So did we start with Rosie or Mazy there? I think I
think, yeah, yeah, and then Masic got thirteen. Okay, so
the Hufflepuff it's ten points. Hopefully I helped this time. I do an
eleven is ten more points for Hufflepuff and a four his minus five. Sorry
still good though, still good? Wait? Did I just did I goof
that somehow? What did I just do one eight. It was a one
ninety and then we went up to two hundred, so it should be one
ninety five. Gosh right there, Spreadsheeters will be all over it. Yeah,
okay, and then let's see who's next Mazie for the Gryffindors ten points,
Clem with minus five is five, and then I will do the last
one, which was a three. Sorry Gryffindors, so staying at the same
score. Next up is Alex thirteen for Raven Clauw it's ten points and I
rolled to two. Sorry. And last one that is twelve for ten more
points. Okay, Slytherins, we need Cordelia, but we have Lillian with
an eight for five points with a six from minus five and I rolled to
two, so that's minus ten rip okay, sorry Slytherins. Okay, interesting,
