! The exploration (the game) !

Hmn...So Selena's over there...Oh crap Serena, not Selena! Crap...Well she's over there in the trees...Some Ravenclaw is already searching the bushes...Eh, I guess I'll settle for the gates... Seems like the least likely place for anyone to hide in....But maybe...let me see...

Siege would begin to head over to the entrance of the gates, hoping to find something, at least something...Ironic innit? He's actually doing something for his house, and although not really into it, he's at least trying to find something, rather than slacking off, which he so loves to do.

I do hope somethings here...Or Imma be pissed....(Mused Siege)

Aidan had heard about the treasure hunt, but ended up being a little late. By the time he arrived at the Great Hall people were already finding obkects and spreading out through the castle. Oh no. What if there's nothing left for me to find? What if I'm the only one that doesn't find anything? His worry kept him frozen on the spot for a few minutes, until he finally forced himself to move before he ended up creating a self fulfilling prophecy. Leaving the Hall he looked around at where everyone else was going, finally deciding to head to the History of Magic room. Of course, he wasn't the first one there. He did his best to avoid being seen by the other student as he checked beneath a book.

Go to History of Magic classroom, check under a history book

- You can also search under behind a bush, between two trees or on the entrance gate.

Serena spotted something on the ground between the trees.  Walking closer, she knelt down to pick it up.  There, on the floor, was a... Peppermint?  Well that's certainly random.  The young girl blinked, not expecting to find a peppermint outside in the Grounds but took it anyway.  She pocketed the item and looked around again to see if she could find anything else.  More people had some outside now.  As the girl looked around, she decided that she didn't really know what else was around there.  

Shrugging, she decided to go further out and see what else was around.  Perhaps there was something about the Quidditch Pitches...  The Grounds was large, after all.  There were tons of places she could go. 

ACTION: Went to the Quidditch Pitch.

Siege definitely was quite disappointed, although he wasn't planning on giving up anytime soon. He found the game to be a change, quite the starting place for his place within the walls of Hogwarts. He began to walk towards a spot that he's searched before, though certainly not thoroughly enough, and began to search. 

The wind was cold, blowing up against Siege's skin, although Siege was used to it. He was lucky he had his hat on. He adjusted his new uniform, his wizarding robe, as well as the under-sweater that he was wearing, representing the crimson and gold of his house, Gryffindor. He would continue to thoroughly search the area of Care of Magical Creatures, hoping to find something.

ACTION: Looking in the Care of Magical Creatures Area

Aidan sighed softly as he carefully set the book back in place. Nothing. Of course not. Glancing at the other student in the classroom he wondered if she had been any luckier. Leaving just as quietly as he had entered he looked up and down the corridor. Where to next? Hmm... Choosing a random direction he began walking, until he passed the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. Hesitating by the door for a few seconds, he slipped inside.

Move to Defense Against the Dart Arts

OOC: SERENA! xDD Bloom didn't wash her hands ONCE because your character was screaming in pain! LOL... Oh well. Still love you anyways!

Bloom kept checking the bush, but alas, there was nothing to be found. That was two times in a row that she was unable to find anything. She needed to trust her instinct. Where to go now. She had a choice between a few rooms. She decided it was best to give the Herbology class area a try. There seemed to be a lot of plants within the green house for Bloom to look through.

Separating herself from the bush, Bloom hiked her way to the Herbology green house. She found the door, opened it and made her way into the little plant room. She began to search thoroughly between each plant and its pot, hoping to find another item.

ACTION: Searching between each plant and pot in the Herbology Green House (I assume it is the green house because Herbology)

What's this? A magical candle! Nice. Dymphna felt a sense of pride. She was finally getting somewhere. Not ready to leave one of her favorite classrooms just yet, the blonde scanned the room for any other hiding places. They seemed too obvious however so she sighed, deciding to move on to another classroom. Something else that she found interesting (but it wasn't one of her favorite subjects) was Muggle Studies. Hurrying down the corridor, she decided that her new strategy would be to check all of the classrooms first before moving elsewhere. It seemed like reverse psychology to hide items in the classroom which is exactly why she decided to search them. She opened the door to Muggle Studies and stepped through.

ACTION: Moving to the Muggle Studies classroom.

Alice panicked, looking around the Great Hall as everyone spread out. Where should she go first! She headed out of the Hall and found herself going towards the potions classroom. This is as good a place as any she thought, looking around the room. A storage cabinet caught her eye, it looked as though it was available for students to get into, and Alice cautiously opened the door. She was met with several haphazardly organized shelves, all bearing strange potions ingredients. She nodded to herself and got to work, searching carefully behind strange vials and tins of odd smelling things. 

Action: Moving to the Potions classroom and Searching through the student stores in the Potions classroom
