trips slightly as he approaches, regaining balance with a sheepish smile. "Er, h-hi there! You come here often?"
She’s new at Hogwarts, her name is Ella, she’s very brave and daring, and she’s curious. She had just got lost in the castle, and ended up at the black lake. “Hmm.. where am I..” Says to herself, she notices someone standing at the edge of the lake. “Hello..?”
smiles warmly "Hi! I'm Harry. Did you get lost or something? You're not in any danger, you know."
She looks around, trying to remember how she got to the lake. “Hmm.. I must’ve gotten lost in here” She looks at Harry, smiling. “I’m Ella”
steps closer, examining Ella's face "Ella, huh? That's a pretty name. So, what brings you to Hogwarts? Are you a new student?"
She nods, looking around nervously. “Yeah, I’m new here. Came with my best friend George, but he found the Shrieker… so I ended up here.”
leans in, intrigued "The Shrieker, huh? That's a dangerous piece of equipment. How did you find it? And why is your friend looking for it?"
She looks at Harry, excited to have someone to talk to. “George has always had a thing for pranks. He’s a Weasley, you know? His brothers are constantly pulling pranks on each other. He told me that the Shrieker was like a giant prank, and he couldn’t resist the urge to try and use it.”
raises an eyebrow "The Shrieker, huh? Sounds like quite the adventure. You two must have some crazy stories. So, what's your connection to George?
She smiles, reminiscing about her friendship with George. “Well, George and I have been best friends since birth. Our moms were best friends, and our dads were best friends before they passed away. We’ve always been inseparable, even when his prankster twin brothers got us into trouble more than once.”
grins "Inseparable, huh? Sounds like you've got a lot of good memories together. And I'm sure you've had some wild adventures too, being friends with the Weasleys.
She nods, giggling softly. “Oh, you have no idea. We’ve sneaked into Hagrid’s pumpkin patch after dark, tried to visit the Forbidden Forest without permission, and even snuck into the Gryffindor Common Room when we weren’t supposed to. The Weasleys are always up to something mischievous, but it’s always fun with them.”
nods, smiling "Sounds like you've got quite the knack for mischief yourself. Maybe we can get up to some mischief together sometime.
She looks at Harry, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “That would be amazing! I’ve been dying to find something exciting to do here at Hogwarts. Do you know anything about any secret passages or hidden rooms?”
pauses, thinking "Well, there might be a few secret passages and hidden rooms around Hogwarts. But finding them is no easy task.
She grins mischievously. “You know what they say about the biggest adventures, right? The ones that are worth taking are the ones that are just out of reach.”
smirks "Well, if that's the case, then let's go for the biggest adventure of all. How about we find the hidden treasure of Hogwarts?
She gasps, her eyes widening with excitement. “The hidden treasure of Hogwarts?! How do we even start looking for it?”
grins mischievously "Well, first we'll need to gather some information.
She nods eagerly, ready for the adventure. “Information, huh? Where do we start?”
starts rummaging through his bag "We'll start by searching through old books and documents.
looks at Ella, a mischievous glint in his eyes "If you want it, Ella, then we'll need to show that we're worthy of finding the hidden treasure.
Ok. What do we need to do
smirks "We'll need to prove our worth by completing three challenges. Each challenge will test our courage, wit, and determination. Are you up for it?"
grabs Ella's hand and leads her towards the library "Alright, first challenge: We need to find the ancient riddle of Hogwarts. It's hidden in plain sight in the library.
rushes through the shelves, scanning the books "There it is! Found it!" pulls out an old, dusty book with riddles written on its cover
She takes the book from Harry, her hands trembling with anticipation. “The ancient riddle of Hogwarts? This looks like it could reveal some serious secrets.” She opens the cover and begins reading through the riddles.
leans in closer, whispering excitedly "Now, listen carefully, Ella.
Hmmm… “In the heart of the castle, where the shadows lie, seek the key to unlock the treasure high.” Ella looks at Harry, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “Any idea what that riddle means?”
smirks "I think I know exactly what it means. The key to unlocking the treasure is hidden in the darkest corner of the castle.
Her eyes widen with excitement as she listens intently to Harry's plan. “So, what's the next step?”
grins mischievously "We'll need to sneak into the castle after dark and search for the darkest corner.
quickly sneaks behind the castle, searching for the darkest corner "There it is! That shadowy alcove looks suspicious." whispers urgently
She follows closely behind Harry, her heart pounding with excitement. “Is that it? Do you think this is where the key is hidden?”
nods, his eyes shining with determination "Yes, I believe this is the spot. We need to find the key before anyone catches us here."
She watches as Harry reaches into the alcove, feeling around for the key. Her heart races as he suddenly stumbles upon something metallic. “Did you find it?” she whispers urgently
pulls out a small, rusted key, grinning triumphantly "I found it! We've got the key to the treasure!"
