Dorea Potter

If the Dorea Potter Team managed to solve their third clue, it would lead them to the library. A rather clear instruction. RESTRICTED. They would have to go through to the restricted section to get their next clue, it was placed on a table nearby. Not many students were around there, no one wanted to get caught close to the restricted section and possibly get detention for it.
For this game it provided a great place for the next clue, that had not been touched by anyone. Opeila watched as the team entered the library but she decided not to follow. As this team proved not to have any problematic interactions, there were others who she was more worried about. At least some of her housemates knew how to behave.

Every day, same time.

This line completes the rhyme.
It was needless to say that Opeila ran out of creativity and rhymes at some point. Five riddles for five teams each were not as easy to do as she had thought it was- not that it stopped her from doing this event, but the difference in quality was very visible in some of her clues.
OOC:
First of all- Congrats! You've made it to the next location.
-Remember to post 700 words and solve the riddle in order to receive the next clue.
-Please put your wordcount under every post
-We allow groupposts (written by multiple teammembers and posted by one), but remember not to godmod other characters without their player's permission.
-And most importantly- Enjoy!

This was all getting terribly exciting as the group hurried from Charms to the Library, having to once again navigate those god-awful stairs with precision to get back down to the main floor of the school. Another thing for sure was that they were all getting in their exercise for the week, running up and down the stairs and halls, from one end to the other, trying to find their next clues. Already Illowy found herself anticipating the next clue, wondering if this one would be more tricky then the first three, and how far they'd have to go to find it. The first questions had been in places where they were familiar with, going there at least once a day during the school week. This clue, however, was leading the snakes to yet another place that she was intimately familiar with... maybe too familiar if she was being honestly. Really, she ought to get out more; but that was neither here nor there right now.Thora Larkston, Bridget Collins, Starlee Kennedy
It wasn't much of a secret that Illowy practically lived in the Library. Arguably she spent more time there then she even did in her own House. Granted, she was trying these last few weeks of school to give herself a break from endless research and studies to be outside more and attempt to see the few friends she had before school was out for the summer. This trip though, wasn't by her own choosing so she could pass the blame off on their lovely gamemasters this time about.
Everyone had seemed to be in agreement that the 'endless rows' had to be alluding the nearly infinite shelves that held more books then one could hope to read in three lifetimes; the most tremendous sight in the whole school, in Illowy's opinion. Specifically, the first word conveyed exactly where to look; the restricted section... Alright, so maybe not in the restricted section (much to Illowy's disappointment, since she'd practically give her right arm for the chance to browse such a selection of tomes) but at least at the entrance. After all, she doubted a fellow snake would bait them into breaking rules just for a game. Housepoints were far too valuable for that.
The girls scurried along, finding the next clue awaiting them on a close by table; naturally untouched, since rarely did anyone want to dare risk even suspicion that they might be trying to sneak their way into such a tempting wing of the Library. Swiping it up from the table, Illowy eagerly read it aloud to her team:
This place you search is full of life,
Every day, same time.
Between the classes, before lunch
This line completes the rhyme.
Alright, so it wasn't the most creative rhyme she'd ever heard, but that wasn't exactly the point in the first place. For a moment, Illowy studied the card again, reading over the words once or twice more to try to make sense of it. Looking to her teammates, everyone seemed a little stumped. This was a bit more tricky for sure. While she thought the first clue about the Great Hall was awfully broad... this one was even more so. That description could fit just about anywhere in this whole castle. They'd have to break the day down into smaller pieces to try to solve it.
Certainly it couldn't be a classroom because you don't meander there between classes, nor could it be the Common Room or anywhere outside because there wasn't time enough to go there really between classes unless you were just passing through on your way to the next class. The lunch bit was tripping her up, making the gears of her mind churn a little harder.
Maybe this place was only frequented or crowded during the day, while classes were in session.
Everyone seemed tentative, but came to the same unsure conclusion. It had to be the corridors right? Granted, there were miles and miles of them, but nothing else seemed to quite fit. Not the lavatory, since though it was used between classes, it wasn't exactly 'full of life'. Nor did the idea of possibly the Owlery, despite it always being full of life, students really only went either before or after classes were over for the day.
Aye, they'd defiantly be getting in all their exercise. They'd have to move quickly through the halls, and hope they were right.

I was told I was dangerous. When I asked why, they said, "Because you don't need anyone." That's when I smiled.
