HSKS8 Summer Games Activity 7

Billywig Cabin won again! Yay!

Game 7 was Follow the Patronus and the leader

followed her patronus to various locations and found various bits of written things left behind by people that were active in the end of Voldemort’s reign and life. I will be sharing those clues with you today/tonight, starting here. ....Follow that clue to a distant relative of the author of the clue to find the next one. Please remember, though, that it will likely take about 5 minutes to hike to the next location of the following clue! And I will say again, when you find the last clue to take you to the chat room to wait for everyone else to join us, sign in with your Potter name! If you do not, your cabin will not get the credit!

The clues were small snippets of dialogue and we had to determine from the snippet who wrote it. Then from that, figure out who is related to that author (according to shared name) and check their blog for the next clue.

And Billywigs won!

HSKS8 Summer Games #6

Clue #1 Draught of Peace


Clue #2 What potion is used when someone gets petrified? Mandrake Restorative Potion

Clue #3 What potion would you give someone if you wanted to hear nothing but nonsense coming from them? Babbling Beverage

Clue #4: Fred and George suggested that Lee Jordan use WHAT potion after he had tested their Fever Fudge? Murtlap Essence -

As for the other three potions, since she said she was bringing 7, I did some searching and found this list of things in her trunk. 2 of the ones here were already listed above and I'm guessing the remaining three are

5.) Wit Sharpening potion to stay one step ahead of the pranksters
6.) Mrs. Scower's Magical Mess Remover for cleaning up after the pranksters or wild campfire gatherings
and
7) Shrinking solution for both pranks of her own and easy packing!

In the second volume of the HP books by JK Rowling, The (#1)Chrome Cab Festers, we continue to learn the incredible adventures of Hogwarts student (#2) Parry He Trot and his friends (#3) Oral Weensy and (#4) Angering Her More. Belonging to the house of (#5) Dry Off Grin, they attend Defense Against the (#6) Ark Darts taught by Wizarding celebrity (#7) Oracle Dorky Light, a none-too-bright fellow who cannot even handle pixies!

In The (#8) Chrome Cab Festers, we also meet Dobby a (#9)See Flu Oh for the first time. Determined Dobby seeks to sabotage the return of (#10) Parry He Trot to Hogwarts and is pretty persistent but is unsuccessful. After a few weeks at school, the deceased Ravenclaw student who haunts the girls lavatory, also known as (#11) My Molten Grain, shows (#12) Parry He Trot and (#13) Oral Weensy an old empty diary that dropped through her ghostly form out of thin air!

Many nifty things continue to happen for the next several months… we won’t go into all the juicy details right now… however, the ending is prime reading indeed!! (#14) Parry He Trot finally kills Tom Riddle’s (a.k.a #15 Mold Voter) sneaky diary (which we now know is a #16 Crux Rho) and saves the sister of (#17) Oral Weensy, (#18) Gayly Nine Sew!!!

Oh! Of course, we must mention that the thickheaded (#19) Oracle Dorky Light unintentionally erased his own memory, so he won’t be back for book three, The (#20) Snob In A Froze Parka…
