New Arrivals

Theodore Nott - from 2004
Cassandra Trelawney - From 1908

We seem to be getting more people. Please be careful when approaching new people.

Also we'll need to concentrate on finding this bloody key because our food usage is increasing.

If you have any concerns, solutions or problems, let me know.

	What is this key precisely? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ab_harry 2021-03-07 06:56 pm UTC (link)
	The key to the Ministry vault at Gringotts. The Ministry has always had one and when the last Minister aka me was getting ready to die, he hid the key somewhere in the school. Once we have the key, we can get money and start getting more food and other things we need either from the international community or the Muggle world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I suppose then the next question was where do you think you would hide it? Though I expect you've already asked yourself that more than a dozen times. I will begin searching in my way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ab_harry 2021-03-07 07:20 pm UTC (link)
	I have asked and looked where I thought it might be, but I'm guessing that the school is hiding the key for lack of better word. I'm trying really hard to explain to the house-elves and the castle that if we don't have that key, we won't have food and we'll be forced to leave. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The castle is made of such old magic that you may need older magic to find it. Therefore, divination. It would help to have something of yours as a focus as you were the one to hide it - a few strands of hair, a favoured shirt. Anything like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ab_harry 2021-03-07 07:36 pm UTC (link)
	Unfortunately all my favourite things are gone or hidden somewhere we can't find, but you're more than happy to cut some of my hair. It seems to grow overnight, no matter how much I cut it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondemagic 2021-03-07 07:43 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, dear! No, I don't need that much. Just a few strands will do. I thank you for your cooperation. If you wish to come by the North tower or send it by house-elf, either will do. Hopefully, our efforts will prove fruitful sooner rather than later. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ab_harry 2021-03-07 07:48 pm UTC (link)
	I'll come over and meet you properly. You can also cut as much as you like. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondemagic 2021-03-07 07:50 pm UTC (link)
	I believe you might be begging me for a haircut, sir! Though I am afraid I've never given one before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ab_harry 2021-03-07 07:56 pm UTC (link)
	Nah, it literally grow back overnight and it stays the same length, so I don't bother anymore. It's been over a decade since I tried cutting it. I just want to make sure that you take what you need. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondemagic 2021-03-07 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	That is very uncommon! I can't help but wonder if it grows once it's detached from you and left to its own devices now. But I can promise that I don't need a whole wig. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ab_harry 2021-03-07 08:12 pm UTC (link)
	If it does, it's weirder than I remember! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondemagic 2021-03-07 08:15 pm UTC (link)
	Then might I have permission to experiment with your hair? I'm dreadfully curious now. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	_cervus_ 2021-03-07 07:56 pm UTC (link)
	Sorry about that. Although I've been told you'll be glad of it when all your mates start to go bald. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ab_harry 2021-03-07 07:57 pm UTC (link)
	But does yours grow? Mine stays one length and when I cut it once, it grew back overnight. I don't mean that it happened really fast but literally overnight. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_cervus_ 2021-03-07 10:11 pm UTC (link)
	Depends. If I'm happy with the haircut, it stays. But if I'm not its back the next day. Like when my mum used to try and trim it right back during the holidays. Or when Lily gave me the worlds worst haircut when we were stuck in the house. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ab_harry 2021-03-07 10:44 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah I don't know why but mine has been the same for decades now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_cervus_ 2021-03-07 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	Bad luck. Maybe yours got stuck. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	oddmenttweak 2021-03-07 07:05 pm UTC (link)
	Cassandra? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondemagic 2021-03-07 07:06 pm UTC (link)
	I do believe that is my name, yes. Hello. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oddmenttweak 2021-03-07 07:18 pm UTC (link)
	Its Albus Dumbledore. Apologies, I must have missed your arrival. Are you alright? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondemagic 2021-03-07 07:24 pm UTC (link)
	You needn't apologize for that. I am the one who knows too much. I am... Frustrated with my descendant but I am eager to get to work to help in whichever way I can. We should have tea when you have a moment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oddmenttweak 2021-03-07 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	So I remember. Oh? I'm sorry to hear that. She was/will be a teacher here, is that correct? I'm afraid I am still wrapping my head around the tenses. I would like that very much. Moments are one thing I am not short on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondemagic 2021-03-07 07:48 pm UTC (link)
	It isn't something one is likely to forget. I suppose it would be 'was' as, at the moment, she is... Deceased. However, time has always been strange. It is only everyone else just figuring that out. I will be in the Divination classroom, unsurprisingly. Please feel free to drop by as often as you like. I've missed our quiet moments terribly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oddmenttweak 2021-03-07 08:02 pm UTC (link)
	If only we were all granted your unique insight, Cassie. I would say it's a good thing you're here to help us now, but I'm sure you would much rather be at home. As have I. It's been far too long. Perhaps I could visit this afternoon? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blondemagic 2021-03-07 08:10 pm UTC (link)
	It is better that you aren't so you can live normal lives. Mm, well. 'Home' would be predicting things for the locals and trying to find a husband. This is much more exciting. Of course, Albus. I shall be pleased to see a familiar face. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	oddmenttweak 2021-03-07 07:05 pm UTC (link)
	Is there a list somewhere of the places still to be searched? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ab_harry 2021-03-07 07:21 pm UTC (link)
	I will make a more updated list and divide it up through the new people. We had one but there were so few of us that it was very generic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oddmenttweak 2021-03-07 07:43 pm UTC (link)
	Of course. Thank you. May I ask, have you noticed if people tend to arrive in groups? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ab_harry 2021-03-07 07:49 pm UTC (link)
	I have indeed. I don't know if it's the castle trying to figure out who to bring or totally random. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	forgetme_nott 2021-03-07 09:43 pm UTC (link)
	The best hiding places are usually in plain sight, Potter. Although most usually chose sentimentality when concealing things. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ab_harry 2021-03-07 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you for letting me know where Hermione and I would hide things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forgetme_nott 2021-03-07 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	I couldn't hazard a guess as to where you or Hermionie would hide anything. Not without some insight as to the intent. Oh and of course, your very welcome. (Reply to this) (Parent)
