## Synopsis

SWOFF nervously heads to Headmistress McGonagall's office. Rosie gives Clem an old piece of toast with an old piece of cheese. Masie stomps out her feelings but is stopped by Alex who hugs her. They ponder why bad things always happen to them. Rosie tells them about a "Jacinth sandwich" (which involves farting). Olive has a bit of an existential crisis (How many Olives are there? How many SWOFFs are there?) while Rosie hugs her. Barney is nervous about meeting Harry Potter. Rosie gives Barney gummies to calm him down. Masie teaches Olive how to stomp it out, and leads SWOFF to follow. Alex doesn't stomp but follows. Some of Thimble's mouse treats fall out of Olive's robes. Rosie eats them. Alex worries about getting expelled. They arrive at the office, and Masie signs in as SWOFF. Olive says that Headmistress McGonagall will know what that means, but it takes a while for the headmistress to respond. Masie starts crossing it out when McGonagall opens the door. They walk inside to meet McGonagall and Harry Potter. McGonagall asks Alex to see his hands and reassures him that nothing was his fault and gives him a hug. She tells them that Hermione instructed Harry to assist Hogwarts. Harry asks SWOFF about the incident. They tell him about Alex's wand and the basket switch mystery, including the Ravenclaw boys ("Trevor" and "Charlie") that stole the food. McGonagall tells them that two Ravenclaw boys were in the hospital wing because they ate something that gave them boils. They talk about how this was a tailored attack. They talk about their suspicions about Gail and Ashley Indigo. Masie blurts out that McGonagall shouldn't have asked Olive to spy on Ashley Indigo. Harry mentions he hadn't found the basket or remnants of it. Rosie tries to cast Accio to get the picnic basket but fails. They discuss casting a tracking spell on the yarn that Rosie ripped off the blanket (that were originally Masie and Alex's initials) to track the blanket. Harry also suggest a divining potion using the yarn, which would be similar to a scrying spell. Rosie offers to help. They split the yarn in half. Rosie takes one half and Harry takes the other. Harry suggests that he and Rosie go to the Potions room to make the potion (after getting permission from Professor Griffis). He also says he has to call in some "reinforcements". Olive asks what they should do. Harry says to think of your favorite drink. Alex says milk. Barney says apple juice. Clem says coffee. Masie asks about butterbeer. Harry and Rosie leave to make the potion. McGonagall apologizes to SWOFF. Barney and Alex return to Ravenclaw tower. Olive, Clem, and Masie go to the Gryffindor common room. Olive starts reading the Investigatorium manual. Harry and Rosie make the potion and chat. Harry recommends that Rosie should work with Ron because she has a lot of good ideas. Harry asks Professor Griffis for permission. Rosie tried to make the potion but fails. Harry and Rosie agree to lie and say that they successfully made the potion but the yarn didn't glow. Harry asks Rosie if she wants to change. She says she'll just wash up at the potions sink. He offers to cast a cleaning spell instead. He learns that Rosie is afraid of water because she almost drowned last year. He casts Scourgify. Harry leaves to call "reinforcements" and tells Rosie to meet him in front of the Headmistress's office. Rosie tries to eavesdrop but crashes into a suit of armor. Meanwhile, Olive reads the manual, published by Flourish and Blotts. It's a bit overwhelming for Olive. Clem tries to help but it's a hard book to read. Masie remembers seeing a child pick one up in a store and their parent anxiously telling them to put it down because they didn't want them to break it since it was really expensive. They discuss using the Investigatorium on the rune underneath the SWOFF table but first decide to go meet up with Harry Potter and Rosie. They talk about how to keep their cool around Harry and about dealing with anxiety. They ask Lily about what it's like to have Harry Potter as her dad. Lily mentions that James and Albus have told her "you'll see", which they find ominous. Meanwhile, Barney is frantically and nervously preparing. Alex helps him find his wand. Barney puts on fancy dress robes. Alex suggests casual clothes instead and a scarf in case Rosie gets cold. Olive, Clem, Masie, and Lily meet Rosie in front of the Headmistress's office. They talk about names. Rosie claims that names are serial numbers from the government. They start coming up with name signs for each person. Alex and Barney arrive. They also come up with nicknames. Alex slips about not running because Masie will fall into a shadow. Harry Potter arrives. He asks if everyone has permission slips. Rosie and Masie lie for Clem and convince Harry that they all do. Harry takes them to Hogsmeade to get Masie and Alex temporary wands. As they walk to Hogsmeade, Harry tells them his version of his story. Harry pulls Alex aside for a private conversation to comfort and encourage him. Harry takes them to a wand outlet. Masie is relieved and wanting to get a new wand. She finds one on the first try. Alex is feeling terrified, so it takes him a bit longer. He gets an old wand from the 1600s. It has a gold color. There's a neatness to it. It seems rather finely crafted. A ribbon of gold marbles its way through the wand, starting at the handle. Its core is of unicorn horn. Alex is reminded of Dave the unicorn. Harry pays for the wands. Alex tells SWOFF about his wand. Alex promises the wand that he won't hurt unicorns, that he'll only do good things. Harry has another surprise for SWOFF. He tells them that they'll be taking the Floo.
