The girl grinned and returned greetings to all those who arrived, but she didn't make a move from her relaxed position until the Quidditch Captain had come to join her.



"Hey, Emily!" Hopping up from her seat excitedly, she stood on the bench, making certain that all the badgers present could see her. She of course motioned for the fourth year to join her before turning her attention to all the waiting students. "Hey guys!! Ya'll have probably figured out by now that there is no prefect meeting." Or at least she hoped they'd realized this. "We prefects have something that is ten times better than any old meeting with cookies; something that has been hidden on the grounds for years and was recently revealed to us. And all of what you will be doing now will lead you all to this special something." Hehe. "And no, it's not the old ship." Though that was awesome too.

Arya paused to let that bit of information sink in. And maybe because she was having too much fun with this. "They say badgers are particularly good finders. Well, this task will test that 'special skill' of ours." She flourished her hand over the table beside her fully decorated, but missing food and Puff coloring. "As you can see, we're not at our own table, nor is there any food here. What IS at this table, however, is something that was greatly valued by out beloved house's founder. Twenty somethings to be exact. The item that was destroyed back in the second wizarding war has been remade and duplicated for this task, and mixed with the regular dinnerware for you to find." She held a finger up to keep them from destroying the table before she could finish speaking.

"Not all are needed though, only four contain hidden clues that will lead to the next task. Clues that need to be made one to get to the next task, and clues that will be essential to complete the next task with a separate house." She sure did hope they got all of that. "Now, go on and.... find things!" Hehe. "Trust me, you'll know when you've found something." And if they didn't well... she and Emily were here for a reason.

OOC: rules/guidance.

- Basically, your character's job is to search the table for one of the twenty 'items'.
- You are allowed to post that you've found an item after your FIRST post, and then only one can be found per post.
- Please don't post saying you've found an item that contains a clue, that's for me and EmilyMalfoy to do.
- Once all the clues are found they need to be put together to figure out the next task's location.
- Observation, Patience and creativity are key!
- If you have any questions at all, we're just a PM/VM away.
- Have fun! It's mandatory.

The same dinnerware they'd seen every meal, so it shouldn't be too difficult to spot out cups that didn't belong, even if they hadn't ever seen them before.
