I’ll walk with you and explain your tardiness.” James followed Neville out of the room, thinking only of what Snape had told him. They had only one day, one day to get the Merlin staff from Tabitha.

My favorite is the one where you don Sabrina’s old Yule gown and run through the school singing the Hogwarts tribute as loud as you can. There’s plenty more, although Damien’s challenges tend to involve too many slugs and mustard for my taste.” 299
