Say. What are you up to today? Are you buried in work?

Only, Archer and Bones got into it during practice this morning. Not sure what started it, but both of them were head to toe mud a minute later. And Archer's still in a temper. As foul as the weather, really. No one can do anything right. And Peakes is almost as bad, shouting at firsties for playing around in the common room. By the end of tomorrow someone's likely to have taken a head or two.

I was thinking... we could do something to let them run off a bit of energy and get the little ones out of harm's way, y'know? Maybe set up a treasure hunt around the castle? Hide things in the armour and behind the statues and under the high table?

What do you say? Help me set it up?

Oh yeah. I'll be right there.

What was that game Marvolo used to play growing up? Green ghost?

[alt_ron]

Oh, yeah.

I dunno how they played it, though. Wasn't it something about wearing a blanket around?

[alt_sally_anne]

He's trying to explain it to me now and it makes NO SENSE. So you know what, let's just go with sort of a treasure hunt where you can score extra points by casting cheering charms on people or something like that.

[alt_ron]

Cheering charms.

You're brilliant, y'know?

[alt_sally_anne]

Oh you say that now but just wait till someone works out a way to give someone else a bloody nose with a mis-cast cheering charm.

[alt_ron]

It's all in fun until someone weaponises the cheering charms!

[alt_sally_anne]

Honestly if we can get a few of the firsties to run off a bit of their utterly excessive energy it'll be worth a few bloody noses!
