A handful of weeks before the start of term, our Head of House, Prof. Ryan Granger decided to plan a special trip over the summer holiday for the five house prefects who could make it for some bonding time together.
They were each only able join in for a different number of days, and Ryan had arranged it so they’d be using a broomstick rental service as a fun means of transportation while away from the castle so that nobody with personal brooms would have to worry about them getting lost, damaged, or stolen, and those without one of their own could still participate in the flying good times!
Unfortunately when he went to shell out the some galleons for each of the five reservations, the person behind the counter couldn’t find the appropriate records, explained they’d been suffering from terrible memory troubles lately after a spell gone wrong, and couldn’t locate any of the forms from the past week.
Ryan had asked each of the prefects to set their own plans ahead of him arriving at the shop, so in order to get to the bottom of this predicament without delay, he asked the attendant if it would be alright to use the art of legillimency so that he might poke around their mind to find the answers.
The Heat Miser, upon hearing this story, roars out with delight, “What an excellent way of bringing darkness out into the light! Which gives me the idea for our final challenge.”
Fiery eyebrows draw together as he turns a devilish and toothy grin toward the participants, who eagerly await to hear what’s coming next.
Task:
After splitting into pairs to practice your Legilimens skills on one another —with an opposing team member, so you wouldn’t go easy on anyone— every individual is tasked with using these abilities of venturing into the mind of Prof. Ryan Granger to discover which of the Ravenclaw prefects (including Head Prefect, Kendra) used which of the five broomsticks (including a Moontrimmer), and how long they were able to join the trip (between 2-6 days).
Legillimency isn’t just about reading someone’s thoughts, but truly tapping onto what’s going on in the totality of their mind. Getting a glimpse of what makes them tick and the experiences they have acquired. By sifting around in the shop attendant’s mine for pieces of information, Ryan was able to solve the following problem.
Can you tap into his mind to see what conclusions he came to? Bring to light the following Logic puzzle and Send Me Your Solution through a private message!
Clues:
1. Of the 2 day rental and the Cleansweep One reservation, one is Amy’s and the other is Alex's.
2. Mia's rental is for a period 1 day longer than Amy's reservation.
3. Mia's rental is either the 3 day rental or the 4 day reservation.
4. The Firebolt rental is for a period 2 days longer than Silvana's reservation.
5. Silvana's rental is either the 4 day reservation or the Comet 140 rental.
6. Mia's rental is for the Nimbus 1000.
Alternatively you may post a Memory below using a minimum of 125 words describing a time you as good as read someone’s mind! This could also be entirely made up, so long as it’s written from your own perspective, and perhaps indicate whether it’s a piece of fiction or an actual memory!
This task is worth 10 beans with an additional 10 bonus beans for completing all Week Four tasks by end of activity. Deadline is 11:59pm (HOL time) on Monday November 28th.
