Do you remember months ago when you found me and Garreth in the Pathways talking about visiting the Hag?" She shuddered when she mentioned the Hag. Back then Esme had warned her that the Hag was evil but Kitty hadn't believed her until it was almost too late. "One of the reasons why I wanted to visit that foul beast was because I thought she might know something about the Tapestry. I've explored most of the fourth floor in search of clues so this should be easy." It was always to talk about the Tapestry.


They reached the fourth floor with Kitty slightly in the lead. "Ooh Esme look! Its by the Tapestry!" Kitty ran towards the Tapestry and the note on the wall. She pulled her notebook and textbook out and compared the letters to the numbers before showing them to Esme:




While Esme added the numbers up Kitty decided to take another peek behind the Tapestry. She knew from talking to Julia she wasn't supposed to, but it was just too tempting.
As Kitty talked away, Esme couldn't help but raise her brow. Tapestry? What had she missed? She was utterly fascinated by all this. "I remember that day." Hard not to frown at the mention of the Hag, but somehow she managed to keep a straight face. "I don't really know anything about the Tapestry." Maybe they could solve the mystery together - after they finished the scavenger hunt.

The second clue involved her Head of House and Kitty quickly worked out the numbers. All Esme had to do was add them together and they would know where to go from there:

"Is this correct? I am confused because there isn't an eighth floor at Hogwarts." Was she missing something here?
