Witchcraft and Wizardry (Season 2)

Year 2 began with Hagrid and Headmistress McGonagall meeting up with a group of Ilvermorny exchange students, including David Calderon-Boot, the grandson of Ilvermorny Headmaster Fontaine, at Diagon Alley. Masie, Rosie, Clem, Olive, and Alex also had a reunion at Diagon Alley, and everyone helped pitch in to buy Masie a Quidditch broom (a Transylvanian Barb which she named Fiona). At the start-of-term feast, they met some of the Ilvermorny exchange students, as well some first years including Eric Rollins (Masie's #1 Quidditch fan) and Cornelia Hemlock and Lillian Inkwood. Later, on the way to the Great Hall, Olive and Rosie had an unpleasant encounter with Ashley Indigo. They also noticed Hagrid acting suspicious (deflecting their questions), wearing large oven mitts, and looking a bit singed. Suspecting that Hagrid might be hiding a dragon, they went to visit Hagrid and noticed that his pumpkin patch had been destroyed by something. Using binoculars which he had purchased at Diagon Alley, Alex noticed that there was a unicorn in the Forbidden Forest that had a wound. They learned that the unicorn's name was Dave (short for Davilar). Olive and Rosie decided to investigate further by going into the Forbidden Forest, where they encountered a Greybin and also heard growling noises, resulting in Rosie wetting her pants. Masie, Clem, and Alex tried to help Olive and Rosie by telling Hagrid and somewhat trying to convince him that Olive and Rosie had been captured and brought into the Forbidden Forest. A few professors went into the Forbidden Forest and found Olive and Rosie with the Greybin, who had coughed paralyzing spores onto Olive's hand. Olive and Rosie were punished for going into the Forbidden Forest, and S.W.O.F.F. began to disagree on how they should investigate things (or not), with Masie getting upset about always being the person that says no. Clem found out via eavesdropping on two Slytherin girls who had passed by her that Albus and Scorpius were in a relationship. She rushed to tell the others, finding Olive first. Olive gently advised her not to tell everyone since it seemed unclear how public the relationship was. They shared an awkward moment after Clem asked Olive if she thought about kissing girls. Later, it was revealed that this was maybe the initial moment when Clem started to develop a crush on Olive. Clem struggled to hide the secret of Albus and Scorpius's relationship from the rest of S.W.O.F.F. (without knowing that basically the entire school knew about it already). Clem also got bullied in class; someone spit some goo at her. Masie thought it was Ashley Indigo, so she slapped the goo on her book, but it turned out not to be Ashley. Olive came over and helped clean up the goo. In potions class, they made a dragonscale potion. Masie ended up in the hospital wing due to a Quidditch accident, and was recruited by Hagrid to help him bathe Clifford the dragon that he was indeed secretly hiding at Hogwarts. Not knowing about this secret dragon, Olive, Clem, and Rosie launched an investigation. They met Ember Berry, who had been recently afflicted with fowl pox and had seen Masie in the hospital wing. Together, they found Masie flying on her broom outside and they stumbled through an invisible ward where Clifford the secret dragon was eating and being bathed by Hogwarts Quidditch players and Hagrid. They learned from Hagrid that Clifford was part of the secret festival that Hogwarts was planning to hold to celebrate the visit of the Ilvermorny exchange students. Later, in the Great Hall, the rest of S.W.O.F.F. learned about Albus and Scorpius's relationship, including Lily Luna Potter, who was surprised and a bit hurt that Albus didn't tell her. Olive and Masie later went to the library to try to figure out more details about the festival that Hagrid had mentioned. Rosie took Alex to see the dragon, but discovered that Clifford was missing and found evidence of a scuffle. They rushed to tell Hagrid, who told them to stay at his hut. He left to investigate. Other professors found Rosie and Alex at Hagrid's hut and told them to go back to the castle. As they were escorted back to the castle by Mrs. Nanny Buckland, they watched as the professors went to investigate. After investigating, they returned to the castle and Rosie and Alex overheard that Hagrid had also disappeared. Rosie and Alex rushed to tell Olive and Masie. Later, they filled Clem in on what happened. Later, in the middle of the night, Alex noticed some strange lights out his dormitory window. They looked like different colored spells in the forest. He also noticed two figures in the dark. He took notes and reported this strange activity to a prefect. The next day, Headmistress McGongall introduced Auror Silverberry and Auror Sparks to the students, who had come to investigate the strange disappearances. Rosie and Alex were called in for questioning by the aurors. After Herbology class, Olive told the others to go ahead without her because she wanted to ask Professor Longbottom a question. Suspecting that Clem might be upset about this (since she suspected that Clem might have a crush on Professor Longbottom), Masie looked for Clem's reaction, and to her surprise, she discovered that Clem was reacting in a manner that indicated that she had a crush on Olive. Masie later gently confronted Clem about this matter, and Clem panicked. Meanwhile, Olive had a heart-to-heart with Professor Longbottom about Hagrid's disappearance and a little bit about why Alex and his father didn't get along. Alex and Rosie were very confused by their friends' behavior and thought that their friends might not like them anymore. This spiraled into them developing paranoid thoughts and convincing themselves that they might be spies. Alex and Rosie had a brief and unpleasant encounter with Ashley Indigo and Gail Greytwig. Masie's father came to take Masie away from Hogwarts for a bit to visit her mother, who was in St. Mungo's. A few of them had brief encounters here and there with David Calderon-Boot in random parts of the castle, which made them suspect that perhaps David was responsible for the disappearances. While investigating the boat house, Alex looked across the water at Hogsmeade in the distance and noticed the ground moving unnaturally. He suspected that it might be an earth elemental. Clem and Alex also discovered damage in the boat house and that was one of the places where they ran into David, which made him look suspicious. Later on, the Giant Squid also disappeared. This caused great emotional distress to Rosie, who was friends with the Giant Squid (having gone out by the lake to do yoga every morning and wave at the Giant Squid). To cope, Rosie went to the library to research any way to find the Giant Squid. Clem joined her and supported her. After determining that the related spells were too advanced to cast as second years, they instead tried to find some Gillyweed. Meanwhile, Olive and Alex tried to make some invisibility motions. At one point, Clem talked with Albus and Scorpius, and Scorpius excitedly shared about some books he was reading called Demonlord and Desires and Detective Drake, both written by Beanie Valence. [This was wacksteven making a story that Mirggles wrote when she was a teenager canon in the Witchcraft and Wizardry universe.] Later, Rosie distracted Professor Longbottom by eating a plant, which allowed Olive and Clem to sneak out and find Roger Bristlecomb to ask him if he knew anything. He told them that David Calderon-Boot had come to him, asking a lot of questions. He also seemed to be missing memories. He also said he was missing a book and asked them to get it for him. They went back to the dormitory to get Clem's Dark Creatures textbook, and after casting a spell, revealed that there was hidden writing on it. They tried to show this to Roger, but by the time they showed him, the writing had become invisible again. They asked him if he knew who else wrote in his book, and he mentioned his friend Andrew. Later on, Clem got the Dark Creatures textbook again, but they quickly discovered (after casting a spell) that it was a fake. Someone had stolen the real book and had replaced it with a fake one. Olive later searched through their dormitory room (including all of their dormmates' things) but had no luck finding the book. She tried to pretend that someone else did it, but the prefect that she reported it to cast a spell to reveal that it was Olive who had ransacked the room. The prefect brought Olive to Headmistress McGonagall, who reprimanded her and made her apologize to the rest of the girls in her dormitory. Lily was upset with Olive and felt left out of S.W.O.F.F. Clem also confessed to Professor Longbottom that she had stolen the Dark Creatures textbook from the Vanished Wing, and he reprimanded her quite severely. While investigating further, Clem and Olive encountered a hallway near the library that had had its lights snuffed out, making it dark. They heard a growling noise. Up to this point, Clem had suspected that perhaps a Glawackus, an animal that could wipe your memory, was involved, so she and Olive both closed their eyes and tried to defend themselves. The growling creature eventually left, but they also heard footsteps separate from the creature. Upon casting Lumos, they found Madam Pince slumped to the floor. At this point, Rosie and Professor Luna Scamander, who had come to be a substitute professor of Care of Magical Creatures, found them. Professor Luna brought them all to the hospital wing. Clem rushed to tell Headmistress McGonagall. Alex ran after her, and on the way, he spotted figures in the dark again outside of the castle. Later, Olive was investigating the greenhouses and discovered Roger and David talking. She cast Accio to get Masie's extendable ears to listen in on their conversation. However, some kind of shadow attacked Olive and knocked her unconscious. Meanwhile, in the hospital wing, Clem and Alex got attacked by a shadowy figure that kept saying Alex's name. David and Roger brought an unconscious Olive to the hospital wing. Rosie was very suspicious of David. He confessed that the reason he had been talking with Roger a lot was because he wanted to take the Dark Creatures class despite the fact that he was not old enough. Later, Olive told Clem of an interesting conversation she had with the Fat Lady about how Clem had been skipping classes. Clem said she never skipped class, which caused Olive to suspect that someone was using Polyjuice Potion to pose as Clem. She ran to the Slytherin dungeons to ask Albus and Scorpius to help her by making invisibility potions, and told them of her suspicions. She then suddenly encountered "Clementine" on the staircases. After successfully stunning not-Clementine, she discovered a vial in their pocket, but then a man and a Glawackus appeared and attacked her. Olive, however, managed to hold her ground, and the Glawackus climbed into the man's suitcase, and the man left, after warning Olive not to get involved. Olive reported all of this to her friends and the professors. They then investigated to figure out who this man was, and eventually, Albus helped them get a newspaper from the library which had a photo of the man on the front page. His name was Colin Moot. They decided to tell the Headmistress right away, so they asked a prefect to escort them to the Headmistress's office (Hogwarts had upped its security because of all the disappearances that had been happening). On the way to the Headmistress's office, Alex started hearing a whispery voice call out his name and compel him, but Rosie managed to stop that by stuffing bread in his ears. They reported Colin Moot to the Headmistress, and she looked surprised because Colin Moot had been invited to Hogwarts as a guest for the festival. Olive also suddenly remembered Colin Moot from her childhood. Her parents had invited him to a party at their house, and Olive had an encounter with him and had shown him their family Hippogriff, but then her memory after that became fuzzy. After leaving the Headmistress's office, they distracted the prefect so that they could go into one of the storage rooms in Hogwarts because they suspected that the way Colin Moot was getting into Hogwarts was through one of the cages they had encountered in the Vanished Wing, which they suspected had been stored in one of the storage rooms of Hogwarts. They managed to sneak into a storage room where they encountered and defeated a bunyip, and also found a cage as they suspected. However, they set off a trap near the cage, which caused the room to start filling with water. They tried to escape through the door they came through, but it was locked and wouldn't open, so they swam through the cage, which led to bottom of a large body of water. Clem and Rosie struggled to swim up, and Clem lost her necklace from her mother. Olive spotted the necklace and believed it to be an important puzzle piece, so she spent effort to grab it, but then lost consciousness. Alex managed to cast Aguamenti to propel himself and Olive to the surface, and attempted to perform CPR, but failed. Meanwhile, Clem and Rosie were saved by the Giant Squid. Soon after, Dave the unicorn appeared and healed Olive. Olive woke up and showed them the necklace, which Clem realized was hers. They found out from Dave the unicorn that Colin Moot had trapped them in this suitcase, and that sometimes he would come via a particular entrance to feed them, so the group went to that entrance. They diffused some traps and went down a winding staircase, which led to a chamber with several entrances. Down one entrance, they encountered another Greybin. After escaping that, they came across a room that looked like it housed a Gashadokuro, although they didn't investigate further. Then, they heard voices from another place, so they went that way. It was a snowy environment where they found Colin Moot and, to their surprise, Auror Sparks. Then, a battle ensued. Clifford the dragon appeared and helped defeat Auror Sparks. Colin Moot, however, managed to turn Clem into stone before Hagrid and Professor Luna Scamander arrived. Luna tried to turn Colin into stone, but the Glawackus protected him. Hagrid helped them all out of the suitcase while Luna dueled Colin. Colin eventually escaped by apparating out. Clem remained stone for a while, until a vial of cockatrice tears were sent as a gift and used to free Clem. Rosie discovered that the vial had been sent by David Calderon-Boot (who had been sent home, along with the rest of the Ilvermorny exchange students). Rosie, Olive, and Alex then spent the rest of the night comforting a traumatized Clem. A few months later, Clem presented to Headmistress McGonagall an alternative for the Winter Solstice Festival: a play adaption of Demonlord and Desires, her favorite book series. Clem decided to be director, and cast Scorpius as Spithero, Rosalina as Lyrina, Masie as Spithero's mother, Alex as King Bartolimaeus, Barney as Spithero's father, Olive as stage manager, Eric Rollins as a stage hand, Albus as a demon, and several other students as knights, demons, trees, stage hands, etc. However, things did not go exactly as planned. Scorpius broke his arm after a prop mishap. Clem was also agonizing over Olive's reaction to Eric Saddletop, believing that Olive had developed a crush on Eric. There was a brief moment while Rosie, Alex, and Masie were in the library that Masie reacted in a way that suggested she may have a crush on Alex. Later, as the cast was trying on costumes, they started acting strange, and it took a while for Clem to notice, but eventually, she realized that everyone had been cursed to believe that they were who they were in the play (e.g., Alex believed that he was really King Bartolimaeus, etc.). Before she realized this though, Alex (King Bartolimaeus) kind of took over her role as play director, Alex (King Bartolimaeus) and Scorpius (Spithero) got into a duel, Scorpius (Spithero) got hurt, Scorpius (Spithero) kissed Rosie (Lyrina), Masie (Spithero's mother) set the stage and Olive's notes on fire. This all happened on the day that Ms. Beanie Valence, the author of Demonlord and Desires, came to visit (having been invited by Olive Everglade). Beanie stopped the fire from spreading, was almost attacked by Masie, but Clem, Olive, and Beanie all stopped her by punching, casting Petrificus Totalus, and casting Diminuendo, respectively. Headmistress McGonagall and Ms. Beanie Valence then helped cast spells to reverse the curse, which they discovered had been on the costumes. Olive later found Eric Rollins in a closet crying, because he had been the one to get the costumes. He had been recommended by Ashley Indigo to go to a certain shop to purchase the costumes. Olive comforted Eric, and reported this information to the Headmistress. Ashley Indigo was confronted by Headmistress McGonagall, but she confessed to nothing and seemed confident that nothing would happen to her. In the end, the play did not go on, but Beanie Valence encouraged Clem not to give up.
