The gathering was far quieter now that Dhruv had put out the request from the Slytherins. The sounds that jumped out at them were the clanking of the Baron’s chains, the smacking of lips of a loud chewer, the light thuds of mugs and cups against surfaces as they were rested down. Dhruv could also see the concentration on their students’ faces and was quite prepared to hear all about what had been brainstormed.

One of the first hands in the air was Nathaniel’s. The Head of House called upon him immediately. “Quite a wonderful idea,’’ they commended, unable to keep the slight enthusiasm out of their voice. “Something similar to a maze, I gather?” Waving a hand in another sweeping motion, Nathaniel’s suggestion appeared in the air in bright green words, beside the board; not bright so as to affect one’s vision but clearly visible all the same.

Sabotaging Hufflepuff? If the professor caught wind of such a thing, they would see that it comes to a halt. But, as long as the Snakes played fairly against the Badgers - or any other House - then the Quidditch and Gobstones teams had their blessing to go out and do the best that could be done. Calliope’s suggestion of an aerial event was not at all surprising, given her smooth aptitude for Quidditch. Dhruv held back the small smirk that threatened to make its presence known. “A creative suggestion, Ms. Barrington.” They nodded in approval for the most part. “I do think in the spirit of School pride, it would be best that the Slytherins be on the same level as the rest of the other Houses. However, such a labyrinth wouldn’t have to be exceptionally lengthy to complete, and can be planned to fit the confines of the Great Hall; Cushioning Charms for one would prove useful in case of falls.” They paused thoughtfully. “The most challenging aspect might be finding someone who would trust the person doing the levitating, to get them safely through the course.” The suggestion now joined the others.

Once all the suggestions had been taken, Professor Khanna addressed the gathering once more. “Those are some wonderful ideas presented, everyone.” Pride was intermingled with their words. “Take a look at our extensive list as we need to cast a vote on which we would like to present at the end of the term. You may raise your hand before speaking on the idea you like best. Once you do, a silver tally will appear next to your choice.” Their eyes seemed to twinkle now. “There is magic in place to ensure that no attempts are made to vote more than once.”

Suggestions:

A labyrinth that looks like the Chamber of Secrets, riddled with small challenges to get past/complete along the way. {Skills tested: cunningness, strategic planning, resourcefulness}

An aerial strategy labyrinth - not necessarily on broomsticks but perhaps levitating someone through it. Moving obstacles, visual distortions and other challenges to adjust to in real time. {Skills tested: calculated risk taking & risk assessment}

Prizes are hidden in vaults. Participants have to solve a few puzzles to open the vault they’re assigned to, but are given five minutes to do so. If a participant is successful, they get to keep the prizes. {Skills tested: ambition, resourcefulness, risk assessment}

A version of ‘What’s Behind The Door’ where vague clues are given on what’s behind three doors. Participants have to decide which door they wish to choose. {Skill tested: Calculated risk - taking}

OOC: This is where we take a vote on the activity we will present at the End of Term celebration! I've added a few extra suggestions for your consideration Thank you for your posts, everyone!
