Easter Egg Hunt! Event Archive

Ezekiel quickly left the Great Hall after the announcement of the Egg Hunt. He roamed the school watching students go off in all directions. He had a few places in mind, all of which seemed to have people already searching long before he arrived. Small Hall, Grounds, Quidditch Pitch. All seemed to be searched before he could arrive. Then, one popped into his mind, the Owlery. He hurriedly went up to the top floor of the castle, searching the stacks of bedding and after a few pecks from the sleeping birds of prey, he hoped to find something he was looking for. He hadn't even noticed Lucette was there until he had arrived and begun to search quickly changing sides so he didn't look in places right after her.

As Michelle finished up her easter breakfast, she was ecstatic for the easter egg hunt. When she was little her family had big easter hunts where at the end of everything whoever found the most eggs got the ginormous Egg and it had prizes inside. 

When the students were sent off to find eggs, she ran off and into the corridors. She stood and looked down a long one. There must be some here, there were dozens of good hiding spots,  she thought. She searched high and low, she looked under benches, behind tapestries, on the floor, and on candle holders.  

ACTION: Search through the corridors. 

Reyna had heard rumors of an Easter Egg Hunt, and she was ecstatic. After all, who would turn down free candy and prizes? She grinned slightly to herself, hoping that she would get some chocolate to fuel her slight addiction the treat. Where should I search first? she wondered, immediately checking off some places in her head. Not outside... everyone would be there... she mused, deciding to stay inside.

Well, I know almost every nook and cranny of the ballroom now. May as well start there... Reyna thought, starting to speed walk to the room. Hopefully I get lucky today... she thought, smiling as she imagined various sweets piled in front of her.

ACTION: Search the ballroom

Eri normally never did anything special for Easter and was exciting when they announced that there would be an Easter egg hunt. 

when she heard the bell ring she walked calmly out onto the grounds. She wanted to find a well hidden egg. Not one in plain sight for everyone to see. She knew a great spot to hide an egg so she went to go search there for an egg.

 She could see the great lake coming into view as she neared it. She started to quicken her spend to get there. She looked in between tree branches, holes in the ground, under rocks, and any crevice she could find to search.

Action: Searching at the great lake in the trees, holes in the ground, and under rocks.

Cecily knew about Easter egg hunts-- a big tradition celebrating the Christian holiday of Easter. She didn't know where the searching for eggs had originated from, but she was nevertheless intrigued and excited to see what she could find when she heard about the hunt going on in and around the castle. She just wasn't sure where to look first! Out the window Cecily saw students swarming the grounds, so chose to commence her search inside of the school. She tried to run through a mental list of all the rooms in the castle, deciding which would be the least likely to have had other students pick it clean already. Wandering as she thought, she stopped as she found herself standing outside of the hospital wing. Well, thought Cecily, here's as good a place as any!

Cecily ran through the door, searching in and under beds, in supply cabinets, vials, and jars, even behind closed curtains, hoping for a glimpse of a prize-filled egg.

Midas was never one to do these types of things - large events in which lots of people participated in. 

As he saw people running around,  looking around for something, he then saw a notice that had been posted lin the Great Hall which talked about an egg hunt. 

"Hmm... I don't see why not to go. " Midas mused. "They talk about a prize too... "

"But where to go? I want to avoid masses of people... And I know the eggs wouldn't be hidden in a common room,  where not everyone can access.. ."

Midas went to the dining area in the Great Hall, and noticed almost no one was there.

"I bet those seats in the back have something hidden.. ." Midas thought. 

Action: Check teacher and headmaster seats in back of great hall. 

Rhea grinned when she heard of the Easter Egg hunt that was happening around Hogwarts. Ever since she was a kid, she'd loved to hunt for the hidden eggs that either her nanny or house elves had hidden around the house. Now, she could do it on a much grander scale. Grinning, she thought about where to look first. 

Before she left her dormitory, she sat down on her bed and composed her thoughts. Where would a good place to hide Easter eggs be? She racked her brain for a good answer and finally decided to start simple - The Great Hall. She thought that nobody would think to look in the Great Hall, as it was such an obvious place to hide something. So that was where she first decided to look. 

Rhea got up with a determined look on her face and made her way down to the Great Hall, deciding to search under each of the House tables.

ACTION: Search the Great Hall, under House tables

Dymphna had only heard of Easter eggs hunts before from her muggle friends so she didn't know what to expect from the one at Hogwarts. Would there be magical prizes, Wizarding candy and galleons instead of the muggle equivalent? Instead of heading to the grounds, she tried to think of someplace unexpected. The common room? The Astronomy Tower? Both would take a while to get to from the Great Hall. Thinking, she wandered into the Small Hall and spotted the fireplace that she frequently sat near to do homework and such. It was also her hangout spot with Reid. Perfect! Bouncing over, feeling quite confident about her decision, she searched around the fireplace.

ACTION: Searching by the fireplace in the Small Hall.

While Vincent has never actually celebrated Easter before, he sure has seen many of his classmates and neighbours do it so it shouldn't be too hard right? They are supposed to be searching for Easter eggs apparently, the only clue being that those 'eggs' are bright and painted colourfully-if it is really so vibrant, then it really shouldn't be too hard...right?

Ducking to the side in an attempt to avoid being trampled by the students who were running around the great hall, searching for those eggs. His expression twisted, he would really like to join in but it seemed like too much trouble...and too much noise as well.

But, there isn't only one egg, right?

Vincent's eye lit up at the thought, and decided to head to somewhere...quieter instead; who knows, maybe if it is unpopular it would mean that it is more likely that the egg still hasn't be found...right?

His lips quirked up at the sides, finding himself getting slightly excited despite his initial unenthusiastic reaction to the Easter event. Swiftly, he turned on the balls of his feet and immediately headed out of the great hall and directly towards the Owlery; he doubt that many people will go there because of the smell and how dirty it could get-with owl droppings and dead rodents littering the ground.

It was a long walk, and he found himself feeling quite winded by the time he finally got to the owlery but his excitement kept his energy levels up as he stalked through the room, peering into every indent in the walls and occasionally kicking over some suspicious looking piles of straw.

Natasha was excited for the Easter Egg Hunt. She remembered looking for eggs with her younger sister every year. It was so much fun - the chocolate was homemade by her grandma, and the eggs were decorated by her mom. There was always one egg - they called it the Golden Egg - that had extra chocolate and a small gift. Her and Dasha competed to find it first. After years of practice, she knew some eggs were usually hidden in obvious places. She thought to leave those for the students who have never hunted for eggs. If I was an egg, where would I be? she thought. Suddenly, it hit her. 

She ran towards the West Tower and into the Ravenclaw common room. There she saw a couple of her fellow Ravenclaws, but no one who was looking for eggs. She smiled. Tasha then started to look everywhere. In the bathroom, under couches, under tables.  She noticed a couple people look at her strangely, so she smiled awkwardly back at them, then continued to search.
