Greetings readers, this is a sequel to the Field Trip. Brand new story,
tell me what you think!

Snape snapped down his game piece determinedly. "Now you've had it Minerva, I say it was Professor Plum in the Library with the rope."
McGonagall shifted through her cards and turned to display the rope in amusement.
Snape pouted.
Suddenly a huge eagle owl swooped from the raptures and, grasping the game board in it's talons, soared out the window and over the lake. Both educators heard a splash as the game fell prey to the inky water.
Snape's jaw dropped "Minerva! We'll never know who did it!"
McGonagall shrugged "Oh well." She stood from her previous position seated on the opposite side of Snape's desk.
"Oh well? Oh well?!" Snape looked horrified "I must know who did it!"
Minerva sighed "And how are we going to do that?"
A gleam came to Snape's eye "We could act it out!"
McGonagall shook her head "That is a terrible idea Severus, we don't have the characters, or weapons."
The gleam became brighter "We could acquire the weapons, and the characters can be... our students!" Snape finished.
McGonagall thought "And to assure the accuracy of our former game we could assign them the people we had in our hand and match them to the weapons we held, that way the mystery's not spoiled."
Snape smiled "Excellent Minerva! Let's choose our students!"
Ginny and Ron hurriedly descended the steps to the exit, dragging their trunks behind them. Snape was suddenly in their way.
"Excuse me professor." Ron said distractedly.
"No."
Ron looked at Snape "No?"
Snape nodded "You're staying here over the holidays, your parents have already been notified. Please go to the Great Hall."
"But..." Ginny began.
"Go!" Ordered Snape A house elf will return your things to your dormitory.
Ginny and Ron walked into the Great Hall partially confused and partially frightened. They saw Draco leaning against the wall behind Hermione whom was seated at the Ravenclaw table trying to console Cho.
Harry sat staring at his table while listening to Pansy talk about her grades. He looked up to regard Ron and brightened. Ron and Ginny sat across from Harry and Pansy.
"What's going on?" Ron asked.
Harry shrugged "Beats me."
Minerva entered the room and stood before the four tables and patiently waited for silence. Once silence was obtained she cleared her throat.
"You have all been called here to take part in the muggle board game Clue. Professor Snape has a rather unhealthy fixation with the game and has chosen you seven to act it out. We will assign you characters and weapons tonight at 7:00. We will send you costumes, be dressed in them before you come down. Failure to participate will result in failure of Potions and Transfiguration. I will see you all at seven."
With that Minerva exited the room and the students waited in their dorms dreading what the eccentric night would bring.
