It was the second anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts, and to mark the occasion, there was to be a Scavenger Hunt, followed by a dinner, hosted at Hogwarts. Neville Longbottom arrived at the gates, dressed in casual clothing with a Wizard's Robe over top, waiting for his friends to arrive.
Once Seamus, and Dean had arrived, along with everyone else who were participating, they received their lists holding their clues:
Four silver coins. [must not be your own, you will be handed a Niffler to aide in your search.]
One magical tea kettle.
An African Fabrage Egg.
One plastic Dinosaur.
A string of Christmas tinsel.
To complete the search, you must write one piece of Poetry to commiserate our fallen heroes!
Noticing the line of people standing in front of a box of Nifflers, he ran over and stood with his two appointed team mates. The wait was short, and he was soon handed the small, brown creature with a leash attached.
Letting him down, the small thing ran with Neville running to keep up with it.
"Hey, wait for me!" Shouted Seamus, as Dean was already jogging to keep up with his pace. All too soon, they had the silver coins on the list, and after returning the Niffler to Hagrid, they set out in their search of the Magical Tea Kettle.
Hearing a whistling noise coming from the edge of the Forbidden Forest, they ran over to the closest edge, and soon found a screaming kettle. They then found the fake dinosaur in Hagrid's Pumpkin patch, and the Christmas tinsel hanging over the Whomping Willow. Remembering that Harry had once told him about the knot at the base, Neville levitated a large stick and pressed the button.
With only the egg, and poetry left, they ran towards an area where they had not searched near the Astronomy tower, they soon found a nest of Fabrage eggs, and grabbed one of the Teal and Golden replicas of the Russian Faberge Eggs.
Settling down in a clear spot of grass, they all brainstormed on what the poetry should entail. Letting Dean take the handles, since he was the most creative, they soon settled on a cute ensemble.
Today marks the Anniversary,
Of our fallen friends.
Let us take no perjury,
Or let their memories end.
They soon ran to the judges table, and set everything on the table along with their poem. As everyone else finished, they all were led to the Great Hall for the commissary dinner.
Once everyone was settled, Kingsley Shacklebolt, the Minister, cleared his throat, and started a speech.
"Today, marks the Second Anniversary of the Great Battle, that took place here three years ago today. We lost a lot of brave souls that night, and as you all know, we hold the fun, meaningful scavenger hunt for everyone! There was a meaning for all of the items you had to search for. It is a common thought, that when someone dies, you place silver sickles over their eyes, for their passage into the afterlife. The tea kettle, while most deem meaningless, marks the time we spend with our peers, our friends, and family. The egg stands for new beginnings, holding the mark for new life, new love, new friends.
"The dinosaur, for our children, who will hopefully never know the brutal truth of what happened here. And Tinsel, to always remember the small things in life. To mark, not only the festive time of year, but to always cherish what we have, whether big or small.
"Finally, the poetry, while it may be hard for some to write things like that, but it draws us all together. To never forget, to never repeat the horrendous acts. Let their fire live on! Here is to the future! Let us have a moment of peace for our fallen heroes!"
