Private Message to Professor Sinistra

So Bundy and I've been thinking about ways we could keep up some of our orienteering training from CCF and have fun, too. And we thought maybe we could get up a sort of scavenger hunt where you get coordinates and have to find places around the castle and grounds and all and then get clues to the next place. And we wondered if you thought it would be okay. I mean, the weather's still so good and we could either do it as kind of a small thing, just us and just for friends, or we could do it as a YPL thing and invite the younger years, too. And ask Prefects if they'd help manage it, maybe.

Anywiz, we thought maybe we should ask you if you think the idea's a good one.

We've got some totally grim ideas about the places we could use and ways to write the clues and all.

And, oh. Our other thought was we could put it off just a bit and use it as a way to welcome the visitors--y'know, so they could get to know the place. Because the spots we'd use are places students don't go much, anywiz, and the clues will be really tough, so it's not like it will be really easier for people who've been at school here for years.

So, er. What do you think?

I think that's quite an interesting idea. We're finalising the YPL plans for the year (as you can imagine, the announcement of the Tri-Wizard cup changed a great deal of our original arrangements one way or another). I agree with you that something of the kind would be an enjoyable way for our guests to get familiar with the grounds.

Since you've obviously thought a bit about this proposal, I know that one of the first questions that will come up (if we include our guests) will be how to ensure they do not stray into dangerous areas of the grounds by chance. If you and Miss Bundy had suggestions I could include in a proposal by, say, Monday, on how to resolve that (where you might, for example, station Prefects or senior students, where you'd locate clues to avoid those areas, etc.)

I'd be glad to recommend your ideas to the committee. Having that come from you, as students, would be more powerful than from faculty, I believe.

Aw. That's really wizard, Professor.

I'll tell Bundy and get her to we'll write something up for you over the weekend.

Excellent. I'll look forward to seeing what you both come up with. Five points for Gryffindor for each of you for taking the initiative.
