After a fun and wonderful month of dueling, learning more about spells and showing off what you’ve learned, you are more excited than ever for the trip to Hogsmeade. Even more so knowing those who have been picking on you aren’t allowed on the trip.
Everyone has gathered in Prof. Sindor Aloyarc’s class for the trip via the Floo Network. It is the only fireplace with special permission to allow travel in and out of Hogwarts.
Mia Fountain addressed the group asking who knows when floo network travel was invented and by whom. This was when you learned that it was invented by Ignatia Wildsmith, a thirteenth century Ravenclaw witch who went to school at Hogwarts.
It is said that Ms. Wildsmith was struggling with a particularly hard riddle at the Ravenclaw door knocker, causing her to be locked out of her dorm room for two days. It was suspected, although not been confirmed, that this was when she first had the idea of moving around without the need of using doors. Ms. Wildsmith furthered her studies into Herbology which is where she discovered the magical properties of the Floo plant, which in turn caused the invention of the floo network, transporting witches and wizards from one fireplace to another.
You look over at the fireplace and notice words at the top. “Vocem Tuam Destinatum”. You recognise it as Latin. Mia explained that the words mean along the lines of “Voice/Speak your destination.” A reminder that you need to actually know and say where you are going.
Mia mentioned where to meet once we are ready to head back after the trip and start ushering students towards the fireplace.
Your excitement rises as your mind starts to wander on everywhere you would like to visit in Hogsmeade.
