If the three boys were successful, the clue would lead them to the Hospital Wing. Not the ideal place to play games in, that much was certain, it was far from the Slytherin's wish to disturb injured or sick students inside the hospital wing. From her two duelling losses she knew very well how annoying it could be when other patients were visited by a group of loud friends. She had been in the hospital wing often but there had never been a group of people visiting her and that way good. So Opeila had decided to once more attach the note to the door with the gluing spell. There should be no problem for the players to find the note.
As the game moved on, Opeila had noticed that some teams became more stressed- How far were the others? Their paths barely ever crossed so... who knew? All they could do was to solve their own riddles as quick as they could.

And while you're at it
Could you help me go home?
-Alice
A riddle that kids from muggle families would probably have an easier time with, at least the second part. There was the possibility to learn about Alice at Hogwarts, but how many of them had actually made use of it? Opeila didn't know. She was curious how her peers would handle it. The Slytherin didn't know the blood status of most of them.

So far Michael was having fun running around the castle looking for clues, especially with the boys. He didn't think it could get much better until Percy grabbed his hand, sure it was to pull him along but still, the other boys hand was in his. Michael blush as he was dragged to the next clue, his mind preoccupied by thoughts of Percy and how warm his hand was in his own.
Michael wondered what he could do to make it last longer, he wished he could have Percy's hand in his for more than just the game. Maybe he could find a way to make them team up for something else, anything, just be a little slow so Percy would just have to grab him. He hoped that Percy actually liked holding his hand, maybe just a small bit of affection could make Percy like him just a little bit more.
Michael was so distracted by the hand holding, he didn't even listen to the next clue. What was there to listen to when he felt so at peace in the moment? He didn't even care if he lost the game, at that point, as long as Percy didn't let go. But when he finally listened, he heard a word that made him immediately think of the room, Alice. He knew the story of Alice and the wonderland, he had read it like a dozen times at Hogwarts and it's only because that's the only book he could find in the study hall. Michael knew he couldn't just jump up and drag Percy with him to the room, Percy was bigger than him but he could tell them so this time he actually did.
"I think it's the study Room, it has a lot of quills and the Muggle Story "Alice and the wonderland" is all over the room. " He said, looking at Percy as he did. He didn't need the boy to realize that he was still holding the smaller boys hand in his own. Just a little bit more holding hands is all Michael wanted.
"We could probably get to the room quickly, It's only downstairs, especially if we run." He said, hopefully Percy saw him as smart and helpful, anything for brownie points with the boy, anything not to get hurt more. He smiled as he thought back to Percy at the club meet of his. Percy was peaceful then.

Percival frowned as he walked forward the warmth of the other boy's hand mingled with his own. It annoyed him greatly the feel of the other's skin against his own. Thankfully, the other wasn't fighting him on this. He was not too sure what lengths he would go to get the other to keep up. Probably drag the other by the collar of his shirt. Though, it didn't matter as the other simply allowed him to pull him towards their next clue.
As soon as they reached the room, he quickly went to find the note. Finding it taped to the door he stood in front of it. Studying the words with furrowed brows. Confusion lapped at his mind as he tried to figure out how to best go about this. This clue seemed far more difficult then the previous one they had solved. He grew worried over whether or not they could solve it when Palmer stated he also had little clue as to what the answer could be.
"Maybe it is the Great Hall? People go home after the feast, and the birds could symbolize the students accomplishments." he said. The boy was far from sure with his answer. Sure the first part made sense, but the birds still did not make sense to him. The boy glanced towards Miller as the other spoke. Wondering why the other was so close. Suddenly, he realized that his hand still felt warm. A frown crossed his features as he shook off the boy's hand from his own. He wasn't too sure why it had taken him so long to notice, and that only fueled the annoyance that collected in his chest cavity. "Fine, but if you're wrong you'll only waste our chances of winning. Let's hope you are correct." he said. 'At least for your own sake.'
