     Walking through the hallways holding a piece of paper wasn't something I think I would be doing on a Friday. But the clue was really easy to understand; It's the astronomy tower. I was running around for so long I didn't even notice Ron in the hallway. "Roxanne!!" Ron yelled. "Oh shit I didn't see you there Ron." "Is everything okay?" "Yeah, I'm just a little on edge." "Oh well let me know if you need anything." "Will do." Ron walked away, and I went back to running through the hallway. Running to the astronomy tower to find the next clue made me feel like a kid again. When my mother would give me clues and hide little gifts once I figured out the riddle.
    I looked all through the tower, and couldn't find anything. "Walk around the stars." "The roof of the astronomy tower?" You climbed around the ledge of the astronomy tower, and climbed to the roof. "Walk around the stars." I started to walk around the roof while looking up at the stars. After a few minutes of walking in circles I stepped on something that made a small noise; it was a paper. "Fuck yeah!" The piece of paper said "Clue 2." And the riddle seemed very simple. "Follow the trail wherever it leads. But go too far you might want to leave. The dog won't bite because you will fight. Be careful and don't get caught. I will know if you've fought." "The dog won't bite because you will fight. Is this some fucking scavenger hunt to find my fucking journal? If I find the piece of shit that did this I'll kill him."
    Walking around the school right before curfew made me anxious, and I also felt like hurting someone. "The dog? Wait a fucking minute! The fucking three headed dog!!!!" "His name is fluffy Miss Black." Hagrid addressed. "Hagrid!" "Hello Roxanne." "Was I screaming that loud?" "Yes you were. If you're going to see fluffy, you should bring some musical instrument to help him fall asleep." "I think I'm good Hagrid." "Alright then. You should be getting back to your dorm. It's almost past curfew." "Ok thank you." "Have a good night Roxanne." "You too Hagrid." After Hagrid left I ran to the third floor, and rushed to the three headed dogs. I was surprised to see Mrs. Norris not anywhere to be seen. So I quickly opened the door, and saw the three headed dog standing up. As if it was waiting for me to arrive into its chambers. It was growling, and I couldn't help but freeze it in place. " Petrificus Totalus!" The dogs froze and I was able to walk around the room to look for the next clue. After a few minutes of searching I found the clue attached to the dogs collar. "Someone really had to balls to attach a clue to a three headed dog." I pulled the the clue away from the dogs, and ran towards the Gryffindor dormitory. "Alright what's the next clue?" As I thought the piece of paper said "Clue 3." "I can tell you've always wanted to disappear. Go around where the fire smells like home and have one fear. Become invisible and you will be capable." "Where the fire smells like home? Umm.... Gryffindor dormitory." Luckily you knew the password from multiple Gryffindor parties your attended. You walked to the dormitory and saw the lady on the painting. "Password?" " Caput Draconis." Without another word the door to the Gryffindor dormitory opened, and you could smell the fire. It did smell like home. "What are you doing in here?" Hermione sneered. "I'm here to see my brother Granger." "He's not in." "What are you talking about Hermione. He's up in his dorm right now!" "Neville!" Hermione shouted. "Would you please go fetch him Neville?" "Sure." Neville went upstairs to go fetch Harry, and I was left with Granger. "Slytherin's aren't welcomed here." "I've never been to fond of you either." "Why do you always try to speak with Harry?" "Because he's my step brother." "But you're not a Gryffindor!" "I'm always hearing that" "Maybe because it's true!" "Hermione don't be rude!" Harry blurt out. "Hi Harry." "Hi sister." "I need to talk to you.. alone." "Hermione, Neville. Leave the room now." "Fine whatever." Hermione scowled. Everyone left the common room where it was just me and Harry. "What do you need?" "Can I borrow your invisibility cloak?" "What for?" "I want to scare this one kid who threw water at me a few days ago. He's terrified of ghosts." "Alright sure." Harry went upstairs and gave you the cloak. "Thanks Harry." "No problem." Once Harry left you saw another piece of paper above the fireplace barely poking out behind a picture frame.
    You put the cloak on once you get out to the hallway and read the clue. "Where you read there are restrictions. Find the book that gives off the most friction. The book will paint a big picture. After you've found it you need the book to fracture." "Restricted Section in the Library." I walk to the library and enter the restricted section. There so many books, but one is sticking out of the shelf. Picking it up made me see the poetry on the front cover.. it paints a picture. I opened the book and saw the pages started to move violently, and I quickly grabbed the clue. "Fracture? Break the book." I ripped the book from the spine and tossed it back on the shelves. "I'm going to fucking lose it." The clue seemed to be freshly written on " A tree that only moves when something else moves is a dangerous tree. Get the clue and set it free." "Let me guess... the whomping willow tree." I walked outside to see the whomping willow tree look calm and the night seemed silent. Even though I was screaming in my head. I walked towards the tree and it started to move rapidly. "Fuck!" I ran through all the branches and quickly grabbed the clue from the trunk. But before I could escape it caught one of my legs and tried to drag me. It threw me across the field and I landed on the ground still holding the clue. While staring at it I said "I want you to know. You're so damn lucky I'm doing this scavenger hunt. If my journal wasn't taken you would still be under the whomping willow. Your welcome bitch!" While walking away from the whomping willow I was reading the next clue. "Tell me if you want to live or die in the future. For right now I want you to fly."
"You want me to fucking fly?! So I'm guessing the Quidditch field?!"
