So, you've figured out that Iris and Evan were in the Trophy Room; congrats. Many of you make your way to the room full of shiny trophies and awards, only to find that you can't see either Prefect anywhere. AGAIN. Fear not though, there's going to be no more ghostly messages... None that're planned by the Prefects, anyway.

Near some Special Services To The School awards (those belonging to the brave students who'd ventured down into the depths of the Lake in Term 22) is a large blackboard, containing no text at all. It's completely empty.

She moved on, closer to the present awards and walked, slapBANG into solid air. Well, sort of solid. Kind of squishy... like a person.

"OW! What was that!!!" she yelled, rubbing her forehead. "Who's there?" she glared at the empty space in front of her, scrutinizing it for signs of life.

Iris jumped backwards as Aurora the First Year walked right into her, covering her ears at the girl's yell. Brilliant. She blew hers and Evan's cover! Hmpf.

Lifting the Disillusionment Charms from Evan and herself, they became visible to the Slytherin's that'd figured out the Baron's clue and gotten themselves to here. Iris was grinning happily at the students, impressed with the number that'd turned up. If the others didn't want to come, then it was them missing out. They had taken a while to get here though... The Baron really was difficult to reason with though. Perhaps making him call them "M'lovelies" wasn't the best of ideas. NEVER MIND, EH? Hehe.

"Hulloo! As you can probably tell... this isn't actually going to be a meeting. Nope! It's hopefully going to be something much more fun than that." Iris started, looking around the room. "Because, you see... We discovered something amazing in the Grounds; something that's been hidden for years. This whole thing is for you to find out what, and where it is. Not only that, but we're hoping to test your "Slytherin" side, and your ability to cooperate well with other houses."

Iris took a glance at Evan, before deciding to carry on. "As Slytherin's, we're supposed to be cunning, resourceful and sly. You're going to use those traits to try and trick information out of Evan and I, in a large game of 20 Questions. You can ask anything, whether it be about the final location, where you need to go next, the relevance of the cookies in the common room and these trophies right here... anything. We can only answer with yes or no."

It just occurred to the girl JUST how boring some of the students will probably find this. Well TOUGH. They weren't idiots, there'd be no silly games - simple as. The end to the hunt would be totally worth it, anyway. "This blackboard is going to be used to keep score of what we answer "Yes" to, and what gets answered "No" to. It's your job to use that gathered information to try and figure out where you have to go next."

Raising her wand, she aimed it at the chalk. It levitated into the air and wrote "YES" on one side of the board, "NO" on the other, and then drew a vertical line down the centre.

"Once you think you've figured out the next location, DO NOT yell it out. Everyone's got to figure it out on your own. Just tell me that you think you know the location, and then one of us will cast a charm so only we can hear your answer. (OOC translation: PM one of us your answer.) If you're right, we'll give you one of these green OR silver bags." She pointed to the small velvet bags that were sat under the blackboard. Exactly half were green, and half were silver. "They can't be opened until you've got to the next location, and until you have the help of three other people. One of these people will be a fellow Slytherin, and the other two will be from a separate house. They'll have information on how to use the contents of the bag to gain the next clue, which will lead you to the place that the prefects discovered earlier in the year." Hopefully the Snakes would be smart enough to figure out that the different coloured bags contained different things... And she'd apologise to them all for having to wait so much later...

"So... Who's willing to start us off?"

OOC: rules/guidance.

- Use the questions to try and uncover the next clue/location.
- Questions MUST have a possible way to answer yes or no to them.
- Your character can ask TWO separate questions in each post.
- Please wait until Either Nixy! or Deniiz have replied to all the posts and updated the blackboard at the end of their posts before posting again.
- Observation, Patience and creativity are key!
- LET OUT THE SLYTHERIN IN YOU.
- Once you have figured out the answer, PM one of the prefects the location.
- The contents of the bags are essential for the next part of the Hunt. You need to figure out the next location AND PM me or Deniiz to be given the bag and it's contents in a reply PM.
- VM/PM one of us if you're confused with anything.
- Have fun with this!
