Disclaimer: I don't own anything! I got this idea on a trip around New York. I hope you enjoy! This is a multiple chapter story.

Hello Student,
Its nearing the end of the school year and the stretch of summer is at your fingertips. It's the summer before your last year and I bet you need a break before you have to use your brain for the rest of your life! Although you may be on break you need to keep that brain sharp. I'm imposing on a little fun adventure full of risk and fulfillment. The idea that I have created is a Scavenger hunt throughout the country. You may come from a pureblood family, or you may come from a muggle family—or you may be that one in between! Regardless, you will need to keep your brain on atleast a little! You will need to know your magic, and you will need your 'street skills' because some of the tasks will be without magic. If you want to embark on this fun adventure I need you to write out a 'yes'.
(Student thinks about it. Student looks around at other students studying. No one is talking. The only sounds are the sounds of studying. Everyone is tense with end of the year finals coming up. Student is very tense and anxious. Student is also hungry and tired. Student takes quill and writes a small 'yes')
Excellent! Good luck on your exams! Here are the first four tasks for your Scavenger Hunt!
a summer job in your home town. Save up enough money—you're going to need it!
all your summer assignments! You won't have the time or the energy to finish them later on.
3. Plant a tree! No reason, I just think we need more in the world.
someone know what you are doing! If you run out of money, or get stranded, you'll want someone to know so they can send out the search party you'll desperately need!
Now I know none of these send you to scavenger, and that's because you'll have to find your partner-in-crime. Someone else has the exact same list with the exact same rules. They cannot do the quest unless they find you. I'll give you a clue though: You may want to go to Lexily in the beginning of the eighth month. Good luck!
(Student becomes even more stressed than when they first found the piece of parchment. They still put it in their bag. They'll forget about this letter until the first day they return home and are looking for something at the bottom of their bag. They'll take it out, look it over, look out the window of the breezy night and decide that they want to do it, that they want to have big adventure before their seventh and final year of school)
