PART EIGHT

Ah man, I am so very very very late.


This is why you’ve got to be on time kids – Snape will end up stealing your class

What a twist! What are you doing here, oh greasy one?


Ill? More like SABOTAGED! I know your ploys, Snape.

Oh well. Maybe it won’t be so bad. I mean, Snape is one dark wizard, probably got lots to teach us. Bring it on!


Oh, I see.

So, not actually teaching anyone anything. Just kicking the kids out of the class so he can… What? Plan new ways to torture Neville Longbottom? Well fine. Self-study is always successful.
…
Anyway, let’s plan our study time.


Of course you can, dear. Man, this was such a stupid addition, I am still mad about it.


Ahahaha, such sass.

So our brave scholars make their way to the library so they can learn all about the fun of werewolves.


Or we can just get someone else to do all the legwork, whatever

The game wrenches control from me and drops me right in front of Madame Pince.

So! Give us the goods, woman, we need to finish up this stupid quest.


Why the HECK did you just let the Monster Book of Monsters loose? Why? What kind of librarian are you!?


I thought you already knew all there was to know about werewolves HERMIONE

I guess this is going to be our tedious task du jour. I am… so excited right now.

Party time…

Here are the fun highlights of the first steps of my quest.


mmm spongy


I have never seen this mechanic before. So innovative.


Level up! Gotta have some positivity here.

After performing Flipendo on many stacks of books, I find a page.


Conveniently held in a chest!

Handy.

As always, we have some battles to attend to. With all three of my members in play! Nothing can stop me now!

Not even you, kind of smiling snail!



The true evil of the library – MOULD!!!

Dispatched easily, I promise! I am good at this game!!!

Gotta press on, I’ve got to get more pages of this stupid book. Why would there be only one of these books? Why?


Same old, same old


That’s now two pages!

Okay, that’s a silly thought. There’s often only one copy of a book in a library. But why don’t these guys have their own books?


Numero tres

Hermione probably has a mint condish copy of this book they’re looking for. Where else would she have read all about werewolves? Why is this necessary?


I will destroy you Monster Book of Monsters


AND THEN I DID BOOYAH

Any excuse for a stupid fetch quest, right?


Page 4

I get it, they’ve got to fill the game with something. But it’s just the same something over and over again. And it’s not even very interesting something.


Number 5 is alive

I just… Ugh.

How many more pages do I have to find?


Oh.

God damn. This ain’t no book, this is a pamphlet.


REPARO

What next, a minigame about werewolves?


Alternatively…

So.
Let me get this clear.
Hermione is going to write up the essay for Snape on behalf of everyone.
Hermione, who already knew everything about werewolves.
So why.
WHY.
Did we have to do all this? It just makes… no sense. I can’t-


GOOD QUESTION SNAPE


This is stalling? Jesus Christ.


Here I am! I had all this research just ready to go.

Professor Snape. I bequeath to you, a short pamphlet on werewolves.


Excellent. I like to hit the bare minimum standard.

And so another riveting class comes to an end.

But first, a quickfire round of stupid questions!


Maybe not so stupid from Harry.

And your retort, Hermione?


THIS DOES NOTHING TO CALM MY RAGE

Ron, do you have any input?



Haha *laugh freeze frame*

To the common room. Again. Such short… days…? Idk

But what’s this?!


A present? For me?

If it’s for Harry why the HELL is it just hanging around in the main common room for anyone to frickin’ steal?


Actual… what? WHAT?

Are you kidding me, Harry? I cannot. My life. Do you even.


Thank you Hermione. You have made my tears stronger.

So they actually do a magic. Idiots.


And it is a broomstick? SAY IT AIN’T SO!

I mean, it was clearly a broom the entire time, which is why I’m not surprised the rest of the Gryffindors didn’t try to get their paws on it.

But regardless! It’s a FIREBOLT!! The greatest racing broom of all time! Ain’t nothing weird about this appearing from nowhere.


Why you gotta be this Hermione

Being a responsible and reasonable human being!? Why does this only show up when they fancy it?


Uh… why?

No really. Why? I got a cool new broom, let’s go talk to Hagrid. SURE THING YO.


Haha, Hermione – you JOKER

Next time I guess we’re going to Hagrid. I’m sure this journey will take several years too, so don’t wait up.
