The hunt was coming to an end, most were slowly getting to their final clues and so was the Narcissa Malfoy Team. Opeila was proud of all her housemates despite the struggles that had come up in one or another group, overall they had all done well.
The Slytherin was excited to meet them all again at the final location and see who arrived first.
Clue number five for the Narcissa Malfoy Team was in the Abandoned Bathroom, which had been fittingly described in their last: Dirty, decrepit and downright disgusting. They would find the little not stuck between the wall and one of the taps.

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.
Eventually she had stopped writing cryptic rhymes and texts and instead settled on tricky little word games. She did enjoy this one and was excited to see how the girls would do.

This is it! This is their final stop for the Dorm battle of the year. After the four of them cracked the fourth clue, the moved onto the Abandoned toilets. Cash could not be more prouder and sharing this moment with their dorm - team mates. The four of them had been running around the castle. From the bottom of the castle until the highest part the castle could afford to its students.
The green eyes looked to their dorm mates. None of them having the same hair color. Ileen has dark brown hair, Piper has blond hair, Sarah has green hair and Cash themselves has purple hair although their original roots is the same as Ileen. Cash always wonder whether green hair is Sarah original hair color, unlike Cash that dyed their hair purple.
As the four of them climbed down the stairs from where Divination classroom located to their next location which is abandon toilets, they make small talk. Summer is around the corner and soon Cash, Ileen and Sarah will be a third year. Piper also will be a second year. Time flew by fast and before you know it you become older but it did not guarantee you will become wiser as your age shifted.
As the four of them approaching the Abandon Toilets, Cash was the first one that pushed opened the door. The four of them then stepped in into the abandon toilets. As usual nothing change in this place. The floor still have a cracked on it, the windows full with grime and it looked like its seen better days when this place still used many many years ago.
The wooden doors of the stalls ready to fall apart any given time but the abandon toilets was not a strange place for Cash to visited. Underneath one of the broken sink there is a snake embellishment. What underneath this place is where Cash could called home away from home. The Chamber of Secret.
Not many of students know the existence of the Chamber. They might heard it or even read it in a book but only a handful of students have ever walked inside such place. Being a Parsel is somewhat a blessing and a curse for Cash. Cash was glad that at least they have one good place if they need to be somewhere to quit the voices in their head.
Cash eyeing one of the broken sink that have a snake embellishment so they did not give away that they are a Parsel to their dorm mates. Someday their dorm mates will know that Cash is a Parsel but until then Cash will keep that secret to themselves. So far, too many people had knew that Cash is one and they did not like that one bit.
As the other follow to stepped into the room, Cash's eyes scanned the room until they found it where Opeila decided to stuck the clue on. The clue stuck between the wall and one of the taps. Cash pulled out the note and read it their team final clue.
"You almost made it, but not just yet. One more is to come. jkTamrploölpjghlky ghRkjomholpm"For the first part Cash read it loud and clear for their dorm - team mates but for the second part, Cash struggling to read it. At the end they decided to just spell the letter one by one. It is a bit mouthful but they done it anyway.
"What in the actual pit of hell is that?"The green eyes exclaimed. Piper also did the same. If this another Latin word or even phrases they could understand and translate it for their team mates but no, this is like some kind Ancient Runes words that sometimes Cash saw in some of those muggle movies.
They looked up and averted their eyes from the little note that they hold on their hand and looked at Ileen, Sarah and Piper. "Anyone have a clue how to decipher the last part?"Cash inquired their team mates hoping one of them know how to do it. Cash mumbled the clue over and over again but they come up empty.
The four of them huddle around the clue for sometimes until Ileen took the little note from Cash's hand. "I think I know what it is!"The brunette exclaimed. Cash and the others waiting for further explanation from her. "Two times the large character comes after two. So maybe, we always have to skip two characters"Ileen explained to the group.
Cash blinked their eyes. They looked at Ileen like she grown an extra head. It's like she doesn't even speak in English. "I am sorry what? Come again? I do not think I understand what you mean"The young Cuban blinked and still confused. Ileen then looked at the clue again. "I think it is like that,"She elaborated some more.
"Two large characters were the place to start. Before that we had two small characters and that is the space we need to skip. So, we start with the large T and skip two of the next characters"Ileen continued. She then show it to the other three what she meant by that. After the other three slowly catching up on and understood, they nodded their heads.
"Which makes it Trophy Room. I think that is the answer to this riddle"Ileen concluded. Cash took back the piece of paper again and re read it as what Ileen just told the other three. "I think you are right"Cash smiled up to the brunette. Cash was glad that Ileen could crack the nuisance riddle. With the last riddle had been cracked, they ready to get back to meet everyone again and to tell Opeila that the Sophisticated Snake team had done all of their clues.
