You Gotta Do What You Gotta Do

New tribes - let's do this.

**You Gotta Do What You Gotta Do** is the sixth episode of MintORGs Season 1: Hogwarts.

## Story

**Andy** is all alone this round, being dragged into the Chamber of Secrets in an exile twist nobody saw coming! He's honestly feeling fine about being exiled, despite initially being worried. He hopes to join the Lupin tribe due to it having Riley, Meredith and Duolingo, people he's interacted more with. Andy was given a choice - to fight the basilisk for the chance to earn a reward (but if he failed he would lose his vote), or to hide and be safe. Andy chose to fight, and spent a lot of time trying to reach the target score of 100 in Google Snake, eventually succeeding!

### Lupin

**Duolingo** did not feel safe being put in the Lupin tribe and separated from Laura. He described the swap as his 'worst nightmare', and noted that Riley is also on his tribe - which he also didn't want. He's trying hard to socialise, knowing he's the only Hufflepuff. He was glad to have immunity, but worried for Laura's safety.

**Imke** didn't have a lot to say this round, but did create a fantastic article about the Chamber of Secrets for the Scavenger Hunt, helping Lupin secure immunity.

**Jace** expected one more round before the swap, and is worried due to his main allies being on Slughorn. Riley is top of his trust ranking, with Rips bottom. Not much needed to happen for Jace due to the immunity, but he bonded well with Meredith over their Model UN connection.

**Kyle** had a LOT to say this round! He was sorry to see Jamal go, very upset to see Nicole go, and disappointed to see Kieran go before he got the chance to know her. He has Nikki, Rips, Jace and Riley as numbers on this tribe. He found it a little hard to talk to some people on the tribe, thinking they weren't putting in enough effort. A few people started to get under Kyle's skin a little as a result of this. In the end, Lupin won immunity, but Kyle made a plan for tribal anyway, hoping to break up the Ravenclaws - telling Imke that he isn't interested in working with Rips, making Imke feel like they can work together.

**Meredith** felt like she would be okay, but was a little overwhelmed by all the new people to talk to. She felt confident about the challenge and did eventually win. She also considered whether she wanted to vote out Duolingo , knowing that if he was voted out he would be alone if they swap back to houses.

**Nikki** was glad to be with Kyle, and missed Imke too. They felt as though they didn't help too much in the scavenger hunt, but was glad not to go to tribal - they said they wouldn't know who to vote if Lupin had ended up at tribal.

**Riley** was devastated to see his ride or die Andy be taken into the Chamber of Secrets. However, he loved the swap, and decided he wanted to try and throw the challenge so he could have Andy with him. He wanted to vote out Duolingo here as well. Riley wrote up a little hit list of players that he wants out between f17 and f13 - Nikki ('gonna be a problem anyway'), Rips ('just a question mark'), Jace ('gonna be a problem way down the line'), Duolingo ('a dead man walking'). He was "100%" throwing the challenge, but he noticed that Lupin tribe's determination was strong, and that there was no way for him to set it up so that the tribe would lose. In the end, his attempt at throwing failed.

**Rips** expected the swap, and decided his main target will be Ravenclaw, because he wants to strengthen ties with Slytherin, and secure Duolingo as an ally. He enjoyed the day off after winning the challenge, finding it refreshing.

### Slughorn

**Freeze** hates the Slughorn tribe. His plan is to insert himself into the 'obvious' duo of Hayleigh and Tomato and stay safe. He notices Vinny is often saying they're inactive. Lupin won immunity, sending Slughorn to tribal. Freeze immediately sensed danger, noticing that several players were refusing to talk game with him. He was ultimately voted out.

**Hayleigh** found most of the Slughorn tribe were new to her. She's really missing Kyle, but is glad to have Tomato and Wei with her. Working hard on ice breakers, she was pleased to find everyone on Slughorn has at least one similar interest to her. Vinny gave Hayleigh the information about the Gryffindor Horcrux.

**Laura** is also finding the swap hard, trying to figure out everyone's connections. Noting down who was on Flitwick, Sprout and Trelawney, as well as who is from each original house, she worked out a good move would be to throw out one of the Slytherin players without it backfiring, despite them being on Sprout with her in the past. With Vinny top of Laura's trust ranking, and Freeze taking the penultimate spot, the choice seems pretty obvious for her. She thinks she's managed to weasel her way into Slughorn nicely, with Vinny giving her the information about the Hufflepuff Horcrux. In the end, she connected well with Freeze and couldn't do anything to save him.

**Nick** had a feeling a swap was coming, and is glad to be with Wes and Tomato still, and reuniting with Wei! He got good info from the Gryffindors about the Jamal vote - Jamal and Rips had been pushing for Hayleigh, but Wei, Kyle and Nikki wanted to keep her around. He suspected Slughorn would lose the challenge, and he was right. He would like Freeze to go home first, and that's what happened - with Nick being the main person controlling this vote. He noted Andy will be joining Slughorn, and he didn't want the Slytherin duo to become a Slytherin trio.

Exciting news for **Tomato** on the swap - he was approached by Vinny who told him about the Ravenclaw Horcrux! He struggled with the morse code. Tomato feels like he keeps getting sent to tribal, and really wants to win an immunity. He managed to solve the morse code at the beginning of tribal, giving him a Horcrux! He was happy to vote Freeze because he was less active, and Vinny also was saying Freeze's name to him. Nobody seems opposed to the vote, and it went through easily. Despite this, Tomato was feeling paranoid, having earlier mixed up Laura and Hayleigh's names in a conversation, and was considering playing his Horcrux to ensure his safety.

**Vinny** was busy this round, choosing to tell Hayleigh (the first Gryffindor name they saw), Laura (the only Hufflepuff on the tribe) and Tomato about their respective house Horcruxes. In exchange, Tomato gave Vinny the Flitwick clue, which coincidentally was the clue on how to find the Horcruxes. Vinny heard Freeze had been saying their name, but they were well defended and Freeze went out.

**Wei** has a bad feeling that Hayleigh, Nick, Tomato and Wes have an alliance without him. He feels a strange sense of danger, and is especially noticing that Wes feels 'different' to talk to. Freeze was bottom of Wei's trust ranking.

Wes seems to be one of the only people that likes their swap tribe. They have the two Slytherins at the bottom of their trust list. Freeze's vote out was easy, with Wes crediting Nick as the ringleader of the vote.
