cloning Helena here for the Potions final XD
 

Helena was tired. Really really tired. But she had just one more item left. She wouldn't stop now.

She walked towards the front gate, then... noticed something that didn't quite belong there. Yay! That was it. She finished the hunt!

Emily had searched the castle high and low for her last potions-related item for the Potions Finals... but was unsuccessful. Figuring it had to be outside Emily returned to the out doors.

But where to start?

Figuing it was best to start at the beginninf Emily approached the Front Gate... maybe there would be a clue there? or maybe it was near there?

When she arrived she noticed some 'things' there... they were potions related!... but were they there for her to take or just coincidental?
Oh well... if it was a coincidence it wouldnt be her fault.

Taking one she put it in her bag and crossed the last remaining clue off the list.... that was it.... Back to the Potions Classroom....

Freya just need the last items to complete the lists. But she didn't know where to find it. She decided to go to the outdoors to breath some fresh air because right now she didn't had a slightest idea where the last item might be. She wondered around the front gate, then her eyes saw something. "What was that?" she walked slowly towards the items and to her surprise it was the last item she looked for.

One last one... and this one had to fit or he was doomed.

Jake headed right down the the front gate and crouched in front of... a stack of...

What? They weren't...

And then Jake got the joke. He actually UNDERSTOOD the joke. It started off as a chuckle, which turned into a giggle, and then a full-blown belly laugh as he put the thing in his bag and jogged back to the castle, give the stuff back to Lafay.

He didn't even care if the joke wasn't intentional... laughing was good... and slightly alien.

Being outside wasn't that bad after all...

After walking away from the last location swiftly, the Head Girl stomped her way towards the entrance to Hogwarts, the Front Gate. This walking around Hogwarts business was actually making her feel even worse. She would miss everything about the school and being here, well it was like when you first arrived at the school wasn't it? The Slytherin heaved a sigh before glancing around for the evidence for her potions final.

There it was.

She picked one up, raising an eyebrow as she saw what it was but even managing a smile giggle. Interesting. This would be something to keep now wouldn't it?

She placed it in her bag before progressing onwards. The last item on the list. Done.

Hugo sighed. This was his second thing and he was already getting tired. Ahh, smart. Hugo picked one up and put it in his bag. He crossed it off his list and walked back.

Caroline walked up to the front gate and stared out past the gate. It was so hard to believe that this term was soon coming to an end. It had been a great year. Where had it gone? Reading the post about the potions final only made her aware of the end of the term was soon coming to a close.

The Potions final was also sometihng that made her come all the way out here to the front gate. She looked around on the ground looking for something. She saw exactly what she was looking for. She picked it up and put it in her bag that the professor supplied.

Luin walked over to the front gate. She had spotted some other students heading over this was as well and thought she might as well check it out. She had already searched the rest of the castle and only needed one more ingredient. As she walked up, she noticed the item right away it was quite obvious, thank god. She picked one up, put it in her back, and then made her way back up to the castle. Ready to be rid of all of this stuff for good.

for cedric :)
 

hahah. You may call me Izzy.
 

Brynn was wandering these MASSIVE Hogwarts grounds. Seeing as she just transferred, it was probably a good idea to get a feel for where everything was, right? Righto. It didn't help that she came so late in the school year, but ah well. That couldn't be helped. As her eyes danced around from this to that, she found a girl who seemed to be doing a bit of daydreaming. Or maybe she was simply staring out at nothing, if that was an hobby of hers.....

"Whatcha looking at?" She asked, coming up to where the girl was standing. It didn't seem like there was anything too extraordinary beyond the gate, but maybe Brynn wasn't seeing something.

Samira snapped out of her daze when she heard someone address her. It was an older girl whom Samira had never spoken to before. "Oh, um, nothing really." Samira was a bit embarrassed that she was caught out of her element, but didn't let it show. "I was just wondering why anyone would want to leave Hogwarts."

She paused and thought it would be appropriate to introduce herself. "I'm Samira, by the way." she said. "Samira Spinks."

Selina was running up to the Castle to finish her final when she passed the Front Gate. It was odd to look at the entrance now. Ever since the Muggle break in things had been odd around school. Selina had bared witness to the entire event and her mind still was woozy when she thought of it.

Speaking of her mind she thought she had seen something out of place. Perhaps it was just the circumstance of the day, but her curiosity brought her closer to the oddity. Could it be that it was the last item? No that was too simple. And yet it was!

Gleefully she grabbed the item and headed back to the Dungeons... she had done it.

He'd seen plenty of people come this way, which admittedly was odd when the gates were kept locked. So Spike had used some intiative, and followed suit in the hope they might have come here for a reason.

Spying the stack, Spike frowned. It wasn't quite as he had anticipated - and certainly not the most obvious. And then he looked back at his list, and it made sense. Ha. Nice clue, and his fourth item ticked off. Now, was there anywhere else on the grounds to explore, or was it time to head inside?

Nothing really? Hah! As if! This girl was so zoning out, whether she wanted to admit it or not. But Brynn simply gave a charming smile and nodded. "Aah, gotcha." Her dark eyes fluttered to the view beyond the gate yet again. Brynn really couldn't imagine leaving school so soon, after she had only just gotten here, and yet the term was almost over anyway. It was almost a waste, actually. But NO, of course it wasn't! Now that she was here she got to be with her lovely C-Money and make new friends, like Miss Samira here. "I guess it depends on the person's personality," she shrugged. Maybe some kids just hated school.

"Nice to meet ya, Samira Spinks," she smiled. "I'm Brynn Pierce, fifth year Gryffindor." Yesssss. Gryffindor was such a cool house, fo' sho. And she was proud to call it hers. "So, what year and house and all that are you, then?"

Samira tore her eyes away from the gate. She was sad that term was over, it felt like it all went so fast! Samira nodded. "I guess it does." Yeah, like underachievers who wanted to drop out and be a Muggle garbage man-

OK, enough with bad thoughts!

Samira turned to Brynn as she addressed her. Samira flashed her most dazzling smile and said politely, "Pleasure to meet you as well, Brynn Peirce." she nodded. "I'm a first year Slytherin." Samira felt a little bit of pride well up in her in honor of her house. She loved Slytherin and would stand up for it's values until the very end. She hoped that Brynn wouldn't be thrown off by her House like some people would be.

She changed the subject. "So what brings you here?"

Rex noticed something flying off the Front Gate and he grabbed it before it went into the muggles' area and put it in his bag.

The front gates.. Rae held her hands on the front bars, not quite sure what to this of the end of this year. This is the start to the life that will now be ever changing. Starting with Fletcher, the house, the income, then her last year, without him, then both of them at the house, working. Rae needed to find a job, start a life and.. What would happen? She let out a sigh as her mind raced once more about the things to come.

And this is where her search ended. Nika read over the hint and raised an eyebrow. Wha? "OH!" Realization hit her in the face. The word was a pun! She looked over and found what she needed! Last one!

Cedric had high expectations of finding that one last item, and here he was, standing in front of the Front Gate. Not the best option to be at, no? If there was something in there... well, there was really nothing at the Front Gate or around its vicinity... except sheets of newspapers? Huh. Uh, Daily Prophet!

He had always been found of that publication. Not only their articles were accurate and extensively informative, but the Daily Prophet staff were actually really nice. He remembered chatting with a photographer of the newspaper during the Wand-weighing ceremony of the Triwizard tournament.

Without further ado, Cedric rushed forward and took the sheet of paper. Upon scouring it, he immediately came with a conclusion that tt wasn't the Daily Prophet! At all. But... there were pictures of potions vials on the page, and stuffs like that. AH!

He was finally done!
