Everyone you ask denies getting a package. You must be special, those with the ability Sixth Sense feel something in their bones telling them that is not the case here. There's a tension in the air. Many of the students you ask give you short, one-word answers No or they shake their head. Some of them glance at you strangely, honestly confused by your interest.

That is until you find one student. You had never really spoken to them much before but you feel that you might have seen them in the halls but you cannot place their face or give them a name. A smaller child holding a ragged stuffed toy in their arms is pressed tightly against the taller child's side. They seem to recognize you. In a whisper the twitchy student confides, "They never leave."

You see a flash of purple out of the corner of your eye.

Do you:

Confront them? → Go to Stage 5

Walk away? → Go to Stage 9 (Ravenclaw) | Stage 9 (Gryffindor) | Stage 9 (Hufflepuff) | Stage 9 (Slytherin)

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

𝓐fter a hurried dinner, Lyanna jumped up and left the great hall, looking for other students. She certainly found them, but- everyone answered a short "no" and quickly walked away from her or gave her a strange look and pretending they had somewhere else to be.

Even though Lyanna was usually one to respect people's boundaries, she recalled having heard a girl at the Ravenclaw table shouting merrily about one during dinner, so she didn't give up.

Finally, after having asked quite a few people politely, Lyanna encountered a small child with a ragged stuffed toy in their hands clinging to a taller child's side. Giving them a quizzical look, she was about to ask the same question before the smaller one cut her off as she opened her mouth to speak. All the student said was, "They never leave."
