Introduction:

Something Strange has been happening at Hogwarts. Just the day before, several students received a mysterious package, inside was a simple handmade doll that had a rustic charm as well as a strange menace.

How strange... this package was just waiting for you in the Small Hall. The package itself was about the size of a shoebox with simple brown paper and twine. If it was not for the bold block letters that spelled your name you would have walked on past (or stole it if you were the devious sort). No sender, no return address.
Do you:

Open it? → Go to Stage 24

Leave it alone? → Go to Stage 39

Know exactly what this is (because you have Twinkle) → Go to Stage 40

There is something about ambition, how it not only propels you but also defines you.
