Oh well that was a relief. Amur nodded her appreciation and agreement. It was a good plan, Professor. A good plan.

Taking the belt with a thank you Amur wrapped it around her waist and tied it securely in place. Hopefully she had got it the right side up, so that she could see the runes when they started to glow. It was rather smart of the Professor, to have them hidden on dark belts. That way those students with good visual memories wouldn't be able to quickly memorize said runes and then recreate and redistribute the belts. It would be a very lucrative business within the school.

Although, he had just told them what the runes where, so technically they could reproduce the belts? Although, there may have been a different order, or a special way of writing the runes. And once the runes started glowing, they would all be distracted with their new appearances. Smart, very smart.

Looking up from admiring her belt, Amur listened to the incantation, her mouth twisting. It sounded hard. Like a tongue twister. She wasn't particularly good at those. Could she just hum it? Probably not, but that didn't stop her from trying.

"Mm mm mm, m mmm mh mh m, hmm hmm hmm, hm hm hm hm, mhm mhm mhm, mmh mmh mmh mmh mmh." Glowing belt? Yes? Maybe? No, sadly not. Alright, so humming was out of the question.

Narrowing her eyes, Amur considered the board and prononuced each strange word purposefully. "Fehu. Fehu. Fehu. Fu. Fa. Fi. Fe. Fo. Ken-az. Ken-az. Ken-az. Kun. Kan. Kin. Ken. Kon. E-hwo. E-hwo. E-hwo. Oth-ul. Othal. Othil. Othel. Othol."

Still no belt glowing. Maybe a bit faster, and a few times over? "Fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel othol." And again. "fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel othol." And again. "Fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel othol."

And there was a bit of light, slowly gaining in potency. Bonus. Again. "Fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel othol". A bit more. "Fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel othol."

The light of the runes pulsed, almost at what would be a good strength. She gave one more chant before the light seemed to stick. So that was it? She was St. Nicholas now?

Looking down at herself was slightly disappointing. Even though the Professor had said they wouldn't be able to see themselves in their illusioned state, Amur had really wanted to see the long, white beard. Pity.

SPOILER!!: Adi

But it wouldn't be fun to go to the person illusioned as the singer since Adi already knew it was Cash. Too bad.

He continued to gaze around. Oh look! Someone was approaching him. Cool! He wondered who was under this illusion... and who the illusion was since it looked very familiar though he couldn't place the name quite yet. Ah, well. That was a good thing.

The Puffer did have one important question to ask first, however. "Are you a Weasley?'' The flaming red hair and freckles were enough to give it away but he decided to be sure and if he was correct, it would narrow down his guess work by quite a bit.

Yep...the illusioned person definitely looked familiar. Benny debated a question to ask but his companion beat him to the punch. He wondered if he should be disappointed or pleased that the other student had managed to pick up one one part of his new appearance. Was the Weasley connection that obvious within the illusion? Well he supposed the red hair of the clan was likely seen...but still.

"Uh huh..." he said at first, realizing his voice and behavior might give him away. So he tried to use a more neutral tone and forced himself to speak more. "I am a Weasley." As for a question of his own for his challenge, Benny gave the 'man' a closer once over as he debated options. "Do you...deal with a creature?" His familiarity would stand to reason if they shared a common interest.

Time to get to work. He nodded and grabbed the belt from the Professor. He was kind of excited to change into a creature. He wondered how he would look like as a Phoenix. He grinned and heard the incantation Bostros was saying. He tried to mouth it at first and couldn't do it. He saw it on the board and copied it in his notes. Now onto trying it now and see if his runes glowed. He took a deep breath and tried to concentrate.

He held his wand at the ready and began to chant silently but just enough for himself to be heard. "fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel othol....." Then he didn't notice his runes glowing at all. He pursed his lips and began to try again. He took a deep breath and spoke a little louder.

"Fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel othol..!" There now it was getting somewhere. He saw his runes glowing and he smiled with glee. He was getting the hang of this.

Woah. Okay soo.....maybe turning into someone COMPLETELY different would be harder than he thought. He could barely say ONE rune, how could he chant FOUR of them. Shaking the negative thoughts away Kyroh took the belt happily and quickly wrapped it around his waist.

He COULD do this because he WANTED to do this!

The rune chant was really just like a really long incantation ANYWAYS.

Looking around the circle, Kyroh shot a grin at Dot before focusing back on the blackboard. Alright. "fe-hu........ fehu? fehu, fu...... fa.... fi fe fo, ke-na.....zzz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken ken?kon?ikin?.... kon, eh......wo ehwo ehwo, o...thul othal othil othel othol."
That went..........alright....AGAIN. He grinned before trying again. The words actually weren't THAT hard. "fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel othol. fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel othol" Kyroh was so focused and busy looking at the board he didn't even pay attention to see if the belt was glowing.

Janelle took a belt from Professor Botros and and placed it on her desk. Then she wrote down everything she would need to know to make her runes glow. Basically she wrote down all that she would need to know to complete this task. This was going to be so much fun. Janelle could see that already.

Once she had finished writing, Janelle put her belt on and turned around to face the wall. Then holding her parchment, just in case, she began to repeat after the Professor.

"Fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel othol". Taking a peek at her belt, Janell saw that it was not glowing yet. She hadn't really expected it to, not this soon anyway. Then she looked at her parchment and continued chanting. "Fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin, ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel othol, fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo, ehwo,ehwo, othul othal othil othel othol."

When she looked down at her belt again, Janelle saw that her runes had begun to glow. She figured that it wouldn't hurt to give it one more go, just to be safe. "Fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo.". More glowing, stronger glowing.......good. Janelle wondered if she had changed yet. There was only one way to find out.

All of this chanting made Janelle think of a question. She raised her hand and waited for Professor Botros to call on her. "When your appearance changes, does your voice change? I mean, do you sound like the person you appear to be or do you sound like yourself?" She was just wondering......

Did he even change into a phoenix yet? He didn't even want to know because he wanted to be surprised. He wonder if the spell worked with creatures too? Nah it must of. I mean there isn't a different spell for it. Bostros was always right. He was confident the spell worked. He turned around and saw people were turned into other's. Some he recognized and some he didn't. He didn't recognize some of his classmates. Now this was gonna be a real struggle. He looked down at his hands and realized he had red and golden feathers!

BLOODY MERLIN IT WORKED!!!!

Kace was smiling with glee and was relieved. Alright he couldn't help it and look at himself. He was relieved. Now time to partner with someone. He knew his form was kind of obvious. People knew this creature. Let's see what happens.

Caleb ALMOST said no, because Neville was NOT a prefect - but then he remembered this person was supposed to be asking about HIM, not Neville. Oh man, this was wayyy more confusing than he'd thought it was going to be!

"Yes, I am," he said with a smile. Ok, so she WASN'T a Gryffindor. That...didn't narrow it down as much as he had hoped it would. But if she WISHED she was a Gryffindor...chances were, she wasn't a Slytherin, because what Slytherin in their right mind wanted to be a GRYFFINDOR? Really?

Also, he was just going to assume SHE was a SHE...because he didn't want to waste a question on asking whether or not she was a boy or girl. He knew it was possible for the boys to disguise themselves as girls and vice versa, but he was just going to go with his gut that she was a girl FOR REAL.

Alright, now what would he ask? Hmmm..."Are you going to be taking your OWLs this year?" he asked. Just like him!

It was weird to cinch the belt around her waist, over top of her clothes, and act like it was a normal fashion statement. Maybe they should try to make it into a fashion statement, honestly, and see who would follow them. Dot pressed her fingers against the belt and took a deep breath.

It didn't hurt to try, especially since she was putting on a face as familiar as her own. And it would make him laugh when she saw.

So? Time to repeat after the professor as he worked his way through the chant. "Fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel othol." It was a mouthful, wasn't it? Like a tongue twister full of words-that-weren't-words. How did anyone ever remember these Galdr things?

And maybe if she focused, she could get her belt thing to work. "Fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel othol." Was it working? How could she even tell? Her belt looked sort of glowy... was she a Freckle Friend yet?

Adi peered closer at the illusion. Maybe he could guess who this person was without having to ask the remaining two questions? Oh! Look at that! He was correct! This 'person' was a Weasley indeed! The voice though... why the sudden change of tome between sentences? Adi only thought of that for a second before he was asked a question in turn. "Lucky guess. Yes, I do.'' Adi toned down his usual hyperness and the manner in which he normally spok and he wondered if he should if he should have added that 'he' dealt with multiple creatures rather than one.

Anywaaaayyy! Back to asking his own questions. Adi surveyed the illusion again. He would have to say this one was one of the original clan members... or was it someone from the next generation of Weasleys? Ugh! Adi was trying to figure out why the illusion looked so familiar but the reason continue to elude him. He knew he had seen this person before.

"Okay, are you one of Arthur's and Molly's sons??" Maybe he was Bill Weasley, curse breaker and human mixed with werew- hang on. This person here wasn't scarred as Bill was! nope, this person was short and well muscled in the arms and one of those arms had a shiny burn. "Did you get that burn during the Battle of Hogwarts?"

The words were flowing off his tongue and didn't feel like words anymore. Not that they were did though to be honest. Kyroh didn't stop though. He continued on the chant slowly becoming a quiet slur of words that even he wouldn't be able to understand or make out if he had been listening to himself. "Fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel othol." And again. "fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel othol." And again. "fehu fehu fehu-u-aa--ACHOOO." Covering his mouth quickly Kyroh blinked, suddenly pulled out of the trance like state he had been.

NOW he would have to start all over-wait. Brown eyes lighting up as he gazed down at his belt he ALMOST hit himself in the head. His belt was GLOWING ALREADY. And he hadn't even stopped before to check!

Quickly he glanced at his hands immediately giddy as he noticed the darker complexion. IT HAD WORKED.

HE WAS MILES MORALES! Sure not in a certain suit, or anything but STILLL.

THE BEST HERO IN THE HISTORY OF EVER!!!!

He should just stay like this FOREVER! His attention turned to the class. Alright. PHOENIXES! And other people he hadn't been before and -wait-wait....what??!?! Blinking Kyroh stepped forward..

....that was HIM!? Was that a mirror or...no...no......

No.

It was him.

"Why are you.... Kyroh?"

So he was a Prefect. That narrowed things down a fair bit. Lux was rather pleased with herself for thinking of that question.

He was asking her if she was doing her O.W.L.s this term and ewww. She did not want to think of them, and the fact that he asked made her feel pretty certain that he was going to be sitting them as well. "Yes, I am. Unfortunately." Bleh. Now it was her turn to ask another question.

Assuming he was a boy for real, that meant all girl Prefects were out. He probably WAS a Fifth Year, but it was a good idea to cover all bases... "Are you taking the O.W.L.s this term too?"

It was important NOT to giggle. That was all Dot could remember about what they were doing at the moment, because she was SO pleased that her spell had successfully turned her into a Kyroh and she was pleased that Kyroh had seen it and she was just a giggler in general. But no giggling, because that would give it away immediately.

Instead, she tried to put on a Kyroh expression on her Kyroh face. Serious but open and friendly. Happy. Light. Oh, it was so NICE being a Kyroh. She felt better on the inside already.

"You only get three questions. Are you sure you want to use your first one like that? And that is NOT my first question for you." Dot put her hands on her hips, unconsciously adopting a far too Dot-like stance, and considered what her first question should be. "I think we're meant to guess who the person is under the disguise, since it's obvious who I am on top of my disguise. But most people are guessing who they are on top of their disguise. So I"m taking six questions and guessing who you are under your disguise and on top of your disguise. So for under your disguise... what house are you in? And for our disguise... are you a real person or a made up person?"

Admittedly, there were some pretty interesting results. As in, many many adult people where once small people had been. It was amazing and exciting all at once. Amur recognized a few, but most eluded her. She wanted to ask questions of all of them, but it was the bird that caught her attention.

On the one hand, she was impressed, because the student - whoever they had been before - had managed to pull off a creature, what the Professor had said was a difficult task. And a very beautiful bird creature at that.

Amur found herself walking over to it and staring at it with wonder. As far as she was concerned, step one was complete. Find an interesting guise.

"Can you talk?" Wait, did that count as a question?

Ohhh. They were guessing each other? Well that shouldn't be hard, right, considering Mari still went to Hogwarts 'n all that. Ohhh well. Who knew if she'd even be able to get the rune thingy to work anyway. Norah picked up her belt and cinched it around her waist. Ready Freddie, let's do this thaaaang.

The third year squinted at the board to re-read the chanty thing another time. Fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel otho. Okay...sure. She eyed the belt-y thing and started to say hesitantly, "Fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel otho" Was it glowing? Nooope. Not like she had expected it to or anything. "Fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel otho. Fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel otho" WOAH WHAT. It was GLOWING just like it was s'posed to. MAN what were these rune things?

Was she blonde 'n awesome yet? Hmmm?

So... so THEY wouldn't be able to see the new form, but everyone else would? Toby... could deal with that. It actually made more sense that he wouldn't be actually turning into the likeness of a dog. He'd been trying to imagine would it would be like trying to walk on all fours, as though he was wearing a sort of dog-suit (because their biology wasn't going to be changed or anything) but yeah... he would walk around and act normally and everything would be normal on his end, but to everyone ELSE it would seem like his cute young dog was frolicking around the room instead. He did so hope they got to look in the mirror.

Toby had his belt all secure around his waist and ready to go, and looked up at the board for the incantation. It wasn't unlike the combined sort of galdrs they chanted last year too, the Hufflepuff noted as he read through it a couple of times, lightly fingering the runes on his belt.

Okay. Okay cool ready ready ready.

"Fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo..." Toby began, squinting at the board through still-sleep-hazy eyes. "... kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon..." He balled up a fist and rubbed at his right eye, but went on reading off the galdr and chanting it as firmly as he could. "... ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel othol..." Here, Toby paused to look down at his belt. He could have sworn he saw it glowing, but... nowhere near bright enough for his liking. He chanted again. "Fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel othol..."

By the time he'd gone through it a second time, the runes on Toby's belt were glowing brightly, but he went through the galdr just one more time, all the while trying to imagine what it must look to see the process of transformation. Toby might have looked to see how it went with everyone else, but he was concentrating on not screwing up the incantation.

Toby stopped chanting. The runes on his belt glowed brightly, so it hopefully it would appear to everyone else that he was now, in fact, and adorable 8 month old border collie named Staco.

Norah took a strand of hair between her fingers and tilted her head to the side to see if she could get a good look at it. HEH, it was so BLONDE just like Sebastian's which was unfair because she was the older one, why wasn't her hair a normal color? Brownish reddish was not a normal color, y'know. It couldn't even be described in one word, plus it needed a bunch of 'ish's or else it didn't make sense. Very un-normal.

She stood up as straight as she possibly could, grinning because she was TALLER now, and began to walk in the most confident prefect-y way in the entire universe. Didja see how old and cool she was? Didja seeee? Norah!Mari stood smack dab in the middle of the circle and called out, "Does anybody need a partner?" 'Cause prefects got to stand in the middle of anything they wanted, probably. Her fingers strayed to the blonde hair again as she stood there, waiting for somebody. Everybody would definitely just know who she was, obviously, but she was a PREFECT now so somebody'd want to work with her anyways right? Riiiight?

Puck pushed her desk back to the wall before turning to face Professor Botros. Oh so she’d need a partner for this? Puck sighed and glanced around the room as she began to say the Galdr in hopes of making Loki’s belt thing work.

“fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel othol” she muttered, “fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel othol” she repeated and watched in awes as the runes began to brighten…they weren’t glowing yet not really. “fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel othol” she continued repeating and repeating until her voice was basically irritating herself and it worked. The runes were glowing.

“Anyone want to partner up?” She asked and glanced around the room at the people in their new forms…she would have to guess who some of these people truly were right? Huh…well she would have to make sure to act as super awesome spy like until then.

Alright so this was going to be.... Interesting. Runes was hard enough with parchment and quill, AND NOW they were going to try to transform?? Or well, illusions and stuff... But STILL. This would prove to be, erm, difficult. He was sure of it. Still, the Gryffindor did as instructed, taking a belt in hand and turning around so he was facing the outer-walls of the classroom. Holding the belt up in the air, the Gryffindor just gave it a good ol'stare.

He let his eyes fall over each specific rune starting with the Fehu one and going all the way to Othala. Or at least that's what he remembered Professor Botros saying. Fehu, Kenaz, Ehwaz, and Othala. Merlin, Runes sounded like some sort of Chinese or something. Pronouncing this stuff was hard enough, alright?

Sneaking a peak over to the person standing immediately to his right, he realized that everyone had already started doing the belt thing so yeah, maybe now would be a good time for that. Ahem. The Gryffindor began strapping the belt around his waist, 'cause uh.. That's where it was supposed to go right? Like a regular belt?? Maybe. And then he waited. Waited and listened. And O_______O Were they meant to repeat all that?! But... He wasn't facing the blackboard anymore and that meant he'd have to go off of entirely what he could hear properly and what if... Just. Merlin.

"Fehu fehu..." he began, giving his head a nice scratch. "Fehu fehu... Uh... Fu.... Fa... uh... Fehu?" Maybe he'd get it after the third round of repetition? Maybe.. "Kenaz... Kenaz... Kun..... Ehwo?" Uh. "Kenaz.... Ken.... Kon...... Othul..." At this point he was really just repeating the random syllables that he was able to catch as they went on. Don't worry, sir. Zander would get it....

Well, he'd get it eventually.

Mokelembembe. For like the legendary creature whose name meant 'stopper of rivers', Cutty felt stopped by Botros. Silently enraged by the Professor's refusal to let him try anything ambitious, Cutty reached into his pocket and squeezed the little parchment until it closer resembled a useless crumpling of plastic. Not that he was terribly forgetful, but easy come, easy go was his anger and he'd moved on to writing down the name of the person into whom he'd wanted to change.

Deciding that if he couldn't keep his own head, then he might as well chose a good one. Perhaps, even a famous one. Or better than that, a rising god on the pantheon. And a taaall one. Yes, a very taaall one. He thought back (and BITTERLY) at the summer concert he'd missed because he'd had to be away and decided on his former housemate West Odessa.

Once the musician's name was written down on the parchment, Cutty folded it up. He joined the rest of the students in the circle, put on the belt and faced away. Now the timely work of incantation. He took a bored inhale and followed it with a bored exhale. "Fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz ken..." Cutty, impatient as ever looked down at his belt to see if it was glowing yet and continued to chant. "...Naz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel othol."

It took him another round of the chanting and concentration, but results were finally happening. The belt began to glow and Cutty's bone straight black hair appeared lighter, healthier and longer. "Fehu fehu fehu, fu fa fi fe fo, kenaz kenaz kenaz, kun kan kin ken kon, ehwo ehwo ehwo, othul othal othil othel othol." His eyes no longer looked so buggy and dark, but appeared lighter, deep and calm. His lips too were a whole 'nother story.

If you asked him, at that moment, Cutty would've told you that he couldn't have remembered the last time he'd been this handsome. This handsomeness, however was distorted into an expression that Odessa himself was probably never likely to make in Ancient Runes amongst his favoured Professor. Even, at all.

...

A dude was walking toward him. A DUDE that was weird looking and like, OLDER and yeah. After a moment he guessed it wasn't SO weird, but he felt more normal thinking that he looked like Ashley, young, long hair and girly and pretty and all. He was pretty, wasn't he?

"N'much," he replied to the dude!person's 'Sup'. Because he felt he could, and because Ashley wasn't here to kill him, he offered the person a wink. Hehehehehe. HILARIOUS! Right? Right?

"Go for it, but then it's my turn," he decided, yep, cause, they had to get this done. He wasn't sure if this illusion was of any real significance to whoever it was. Was he a family member? Dad? Neighbour? ...

This was not going to be easy.

Chanting. Chanting.

And chanting still. This was seriously getting boring now. Maybe she should open her eyes and check the runes on her belt?

Yup. That would probably be a good idea now. Continuing with the chanting still Hady slowly opened her eyes and lowered her head to check the runes on her belt. Lo and behold it was glowing! And quite brightly at that. So it was working then right, right?

Grinning a little bit she took a small breath letting it out slowly before she turned around to face everyone. Oh geez...there was noway she'd be able to know who anyone was without talking to someone. Keeping a warm smile on her face she looked around for someone that needed someone to work with.

Most of them appeared to be hard...would anyone know who she was? Probably if they connected the look of the women she was now to herself, the long hair and eyes were similar though her own were lighter like her fathers. Either way she needed a partner.

Janelle turned around and faced the crowd of students. She didn't feel any different......because she wasn't any different, she just appeared that way. She wondered if anyone would guess who she was supposed to be. Considering that she didn't look very much like her chosen subject, it may be hard to guess. Janelle tried to imagine what she must look like. She pictured a petite woman with light brown hair, hazel eyes and pale skin. Nope, this might not be an easy guess.

Looking at her classmates, Janelle saw a variety of characters. This game was going to be harder than she thought. She would have to make sure to ask very good questions, if she wanted to guess correctly. In need of a partner, Janelle saw a "woman" who seemed to be partnerless. She walked up to the woman and made her pitch. "Hi, there. Do you need a partner? If you do, would you like to work with me?" She hoped the answer would be yes so they could start playing the game.

Angel looked around and decided that she would just randomly select who she wanted to work with since, she really wanted to figure out stuff. She walked over and smiled. "Want too partner up?" Angel asked quickly and quietly she didn't want anyone thinking she was being rude or anything.

Just as Hady swept her gaze around the room once more a girl/women she didn't know walked towards her. Cool it looked like she'd found herself someone to work with already.

"Sure I'll work with you." Hady agreed pushing her long brown hair back off her shoulders. Looking at the girl she tried to think of some questions that would help her to quickly figure out who it was. Right now she really had no clue.

"We should get started then...um are you in one of the younger grades...like year one or two?" She asked right away. Cause that was probably a good place to start. If she said she wasn't she could move on from there...three guesses wasn't really all that much though.

Yay! Janelle had a partner. She was glad of that. Now she had to figure out who her partner was supposed to be. She stared at the woman and had absolutely no clue who she was. Before she could think of something to say, Janelle was asked a question. "Yes, I am in one of those years.", she responded. "Good question, she thought to herself. Now it was her turn and she posed a question of her own.

"What house are you in??" Not the best question, but at least it would narrow down the possibilities. This was going to be very hard, especially when they were only allowed to ask three questions. They got to ask twenty questions in the muggle game. Janelle might have a chance at guessing right, if that was the case.

While Janelle continued to study her partner, she tried to think of two more things to ask that might give her important information.
