Secrets at Hogwarts
Tessa yelped, as she almost bumped into a wall. The walls at Hogwarts were ever changing and it was Tessa’s first week. As she turned around, climbing back onto the stairs, a sudden sound played behind her. As curiosity got the better of her, she turned around, and there laid a single letter, with a bronze seal on top.
Her mind swam with questions and she opened the letter
Inside, it read: enter with caution, but beware
It’s part of a rather nasty affair
Although I might be covered in hair
You will find what’s inside as sweet as a pear,
5 may enter but 3 come out, so treat everything you see
with care
So,left, right, front, and there and enter only if you dare.
I have been trapped here for many years, and now it’s
time to show my flair.
With that, the letter crumpled by itself and fell to the floor. Tessa stood astonished. A few minutes before, all that was on her mind was to get to her class, but now…
She pushed the letter into her bag and decided to go for her class first, trying to push the letter out of her mind, but to no avail. Now, Hogwarts felt creepy, almost as if it had hidden secrets.

Bella was walking to her joint Gryffindor-Slytherin class when she saw something really strange. It was just a usual school day, with nothing really special happening (except life at Hogwarts is always really interesting).
She was walking behind a Gryffindor girl who she presumed was going to be her classmate, seeing that they were walking up the stairs towards the same classroom, but then something weird happened.
The other girl, at the top of stairs, reached down to pick up some sort of...letter/parchment/paper thingy? Bella was too far away to see, and she wouldn't pry if its private, but she was instantly curious and what it may be. As she walked closer, she was able to get a glimpse of the first words on the paper but forced her eyes away from it as she passed the other girl, knowing that she shouldn't spy.
But Bella coulnd't stop thinking of the first words on the paper. Enter with caution, but beware.... She shook her head, thinking she must have read it wrong, when she heard something. Bella abruptly stopped and turned around, watching as the paper literally disintegrated in the other girl's hand.
During class, Bella couldn't help but wonder had just happened. She tried to concentrate, but it was simply too mysterious and exciting for her to take her mind off it.
After the bell rang, Bella jumped up and walked quickly to meet up with the other girl who was previously in the hallway with her.
"Hi! My name is Bella Light. First year Slytherin, who was just in the class with you. Can I ask you a question? Umm...I was in the hallways behind you before class started, and I saw that you picked up a piece of paper but then it...disintegrated? I'm sorry, I shouldn't pry if its none of my business, but may I ask if you are just as confused and curious as I am or if you know what happened?"

Tessa jumped, shocked that anyone would know about it She dropped her voice to a whisper, and said, Sorry, you…you must be mistaken. I didn’t see any letter. Then she hurried away into the classroom dropping her bag and sitting down.
Tessa couldn’t believe any one had saw, especially Bella, she was in slytherin and she had presumed everyone in that house was mean. Oh well, maybe she was just curious, maybe too curious for her own good, Tessa thought. But what did the letter really mean, was it true, was there 4 more people supposed to recieve the letter too?
When class ended, she proceeded to her dorm, when suddenly, the same sound played again. Tessa frowned, wondering if it was another letter. She stood, looking around for anything strange.
Sure enough, another letter slipped to her feet. However, this time instead of her name, it read: Bella Light.
Tessa gasped, Bella must have been involved, but should she pass the letter to her. She decided to, sensing it was important. She slyly slipped out of bed, and out the common room, attempting to find Bella. Soon, she found her, in the hallways. Giving Bella a glance she passed the letter to her, after ensuring nobody was there.

Bella was just in the hallways, talking with a friend, when she heard the rustling of paper. As she glanced up, she wondered what was going on. Bella caught a glimpse of a girl's hair before she turned the corner and disappeared. Chasing the other girl, she ran until she caught up to the girl.
"Hey, um...what's this?" Bella held up the piece of paper. "Did you drop it on accident?"
As she picked up the piece of paper, she saw one word on it that said: Ausilium Help.
Upon holding the paper onto the light, she saw something else, too. It was her name, followed by a sentence written in curly handwriting: My first is in chocolate but no in ham...
She looked at the girl with a shocked face, now recognizing her. This girl was the same Gryffindor girl who claimed that there was no letter. It doesn't makes sense!
Her heart raced and she wondered what she stumbled into. This wasn't just "nothing." This was something mysterious, something that may be dangerous.
"Ausilium means help in Latin. I don't know Latin well but I know that word. What's going on?" Bella asked.
OOC Notes: Hi Tessa! I was thinking that each of the letter had a message and maybe part of a riddle that could only be seen with the light? The riddle was "My first is in chocolate but no in ham. My second is in cake and also in jam. My third at tea-time is easily found. Altogether, this is a friend who is often around. What is it?
Answer: "c" is the first letter in “chocolate,” “a” is the second letter in “cake” and “jam,” and “t” is the third letter in “tea-time.”
I hope that works with you!

Paisley was walking in the hallway after the class ended. Then she noticed two girls, one she recognized as her fellow Gryffindor, the other girl was a girl from her previous class. They were both looking at a piece of paper and thought she heard them said something about Latin? She thought maybe she would just take a peek, she was only curious, not be a busybody but she couldn't help it. Suddenly she bumped the girl from Gryffindor. ~Ohno ohno, I have gotten myself in a mess!!~ Paisley thought.
"Umm s-sorry. I was only wondering what was on the paper, errm, I hope you guys don't mind." she said hastily.

Tessa blinked, why were three people in this mess now! She thought quickly, than grabbed their two hands and dragged them to the third floor toilet, before pushing them all into a cubicle. She ensured nobody was looking before whispering, Bella, I really don’t know, what did your letter say? Tessa shook her head, feeling something cold, there was definitely something weird in this situation.
Before Bella could answer. The hissing sound came again. Tessa through down her hands. She was getting tired of that sound! Yet again, for the third time that day, a letter floated to her feet, on it, it wrote in cursive, Paisley Emmeline Fox. Was there someone watching us and just sending down letters whenever someone else gets involved? Tessa thought, annoyed.
Before paisley could pick the letter up, there was suddenly a bang at the toilet. It was a low menacing growl. Tessa almost jumped, tightly holding on to the toilets handrails,She felt the ground shudder, whatever was outside was definitely big, and here for something. The hissing sound rang again, louder this time, Come find me, it hissed, the sound coming from everywhere but nowhere at the same time. Suddenly, everything stopped, and the sounds were nowhere to be seen.
