Iphigeneia held out a hand to the Gryffindor student that had arrived at the table.

"Hi, I'm Iphigeneia. (iffy-je-Naya). Nice to meet you!"

She placed the rules out on the table where everyone could see it. The aim of the game was to get from a small burrow (square 1) to a castle that looked oddly like Hogwarts (square 100) whilst getting past giants, trolls, and evil witches and wizards, avoiding snakes that sent you back several squares, and being aided by climbing ladders, small pouches of special potion...

It looked simple enough.

She placed her playing piece - a wizard's cap - upon the board and held tightly onto her dice, waiting for her turn.
