It's been a while since we've checked in to the Prefects' Challenge, so your intrepid blog team decided that it was about time! If you aren't aware of what is going on in the Challenge in general, go catch yourself up in my previous update.
We've been turning in lots of classes and checking things off our bucket lists, and we've made quite a bit of progress on the BLUE train; we've made five more stops!
First stop since our last update was a tour of the Ministry of Magic! We had a bit of Patronus practice in the empty court chambers before moving on.
Our next stop was at Burnham Beeches, where Hermione fled from Death Eaters who were pursuing her from the Ministry. It's a beautiful scene in this autumn season and we stayed to study healing and have a bit of a picnic.
Next we traveled to High Marnham, an abandoned power station where Ron, Hermione, and Harry traveled after Ron splinched himself and could no longer apparate. We had a Transfig lesson here and learned about why you can't conjure food from nothing, relating it to the Trio's struggles to find enough food on this leg of their journey.
Our next stop was to Loch Etive, where the stress of the journey was enough to drive Ron away from his friends. We practiced setting protective charms while at this campsite.
Our next stop and current location is Marnham Cove, where Harry and Hermione planned the next steps of their journey. While here, we are going over the history of Godric Gryffindor.
So keep turning in classes and checking in bucket list items on our spreadsheet to keep making progress on our journey!
Don't forget that the Prefects' Challenge October Blitz is set for October 31st in the Deathly Hallows Seminar. We're re-illuminating skills and techniques that haven't been used in a while!
