## Plot

### Charms Class - Lumos & Nox

* Clementine, Masie, and Olive go to Charms class with Professor Flitwick.
* They learn the Lumos spell. When asked to practice casting the spell, Masie and Clem are able to cast Lumos successfully, but Olive unfortunately fails to do so twice.
* They also learn the Nox spell. Masie is able to cast it, but with some side effects, Clem fails to cast it, and Olive pretends to cast it. Clem gets upset that she can't cast Nox. Masie tries to console her, but she gets scolded by Professor Flitwick to pay attention, and he deducts 2 points from Gryffindor, which causes Masie to feel ashamed.

### Herbology Class

* Alexander and Barney go to Herbology in the greenhouses outside with Professor Longbottom. Alex pokes one of the plants with his dragonhide gloves on, which causes it to grow rapidly.
* Professor Longbottom casts Reducio and the plant shrinks back to normal size.
* Professor Longbottom deducts 5 points from Ravenclaw, which makes the rest of the Ravenclaw students furious with Alex.

### Hufflepuff Common Room

* Rosalina and Jacinth return the Hufflepuff Common Room around 3:30pm after a long day of classes: Double Transfiguration with Professor Barrows, Potions with Professor Griffis, and Herbology, with Astronomy later tonight at midnight.
* Rosalina has had a rough day, so she plops down in a cozy chair with her toad, Sweet Pea, and starts pulling out her crystals to make her feel better. She also eats some cookies and offers some to Jacinth, who takes them. She considers getting a whole chocolate cake from the Kitchens. While talking about classes, Rosalina gives Professor Barrows the nickname "Bad Omen Barrows". Bucket the Niffler is also there with them, sitting on the barrel with the ring.
* Rosalina tries to convince Jacinth to sneak out and get a chocolate cake from the Kitchens, but fails, so she decides to go straight to her bed, pull the covers over her head, and start writing a letter to her dads while she cries audibly.

### Dinner

* Alexander is the first to arrive to dinner. Barney sits with him, but none of the other Ravenclaws.
* Rosalina bumps into Masie (literally) right outside of the Great Hall. Masie notices that Rosalina's face is covered in chocolate and she's wiping away some tears, so Masie offers her a hug and tries to wipe the chocolate off her face, but the chocolate ends up getting all over her white collar. They decide to sit with Alex and they meet Barney for the first time. They ask Barney to teach them the writing-to-talk spell. Rosalina also asks how to send her letter to her dads. Masie and Alex both offer their owls, and Rosalina decides to borrow Masie's owl. Rosalina tries to cast the writing-to-talk spell but fails and falls off the bench and injures herself.
* Olive arrives, sees Masie's hair, and walks over to sit with everyone. Olive notices that Rosalina has some chocolate on her face, so she licks her finger and tries to wipe it off, but it won't come off, so she decides to cast Aguamenti to wash it off. Olive is able to cast Aguamenti, but the force of the stream of water coming out shoots her wand backwards out of her hand, but she doesn't move her hand at all. Mrs. Nanny Buckland reprimands Olive for casting a spell in the Great Hall and deducts 5 points from Gryffindor.
* Clem arrives as the House Points display decreases. She immediately walks over to sit with the rest. She was late because she had been talking to the Fat Lady.
* Clem and Rosalina share dormitory entrance password secrets. Olive encourages this, but Masie feels uncomfortable about it and the two go back and forth a bit about how to approach school rules. After Masie makes a particular remark to Olive, Olive passes out.

### Hospital Wing

* They bring Olive to the hospital wing. Olive is getting some fluids. Rosalina has food in her pockets that she's sown into her robes. Olive asks Rosie to feed her mashed potatoes. Masie tries to encourage Olive to sit up and feed herself. Madam Pomfrey comes to check on Olive. Olive then asks Rosie to feed her pie. Clem makes a comment that hints at her past. Rosie asks what Masie's parents do, and Masie says they work for the Ministry.
* Masie and Olive continue to not get along very well. Clem reveals that the last time she was in a hospital was when she was in a car crash where her parents died. It's also how she got her the half-moon scar on her left cheek. Alex asks about everyone's heritage. Clem and Rosie are Muggleborns, Olive and Alex are half-bloods, and Masie is a pure blood. Clem confesses to Masie that she lied about subways being live monster. Olive confesses that she's never spent much time with kids her own age before.
* Olive offers a hand out to Masie, but Masie doesn't offer hers (not to be hurtful, but out of confusion), which hurts Olive's feelings. Alex casts the writing-to-talk spell. They decide to go to the library to study for classes so they can make up the house points they lost. Rosie gives out food from her pocket: a sausage for Alex, potatoes for Olive, and Clem asks for coffee, but Rosie doesn't have any.
* Rosie suggests that Masie and Olive shake hands. Clem calls Quidditch "Quiz Natch." Masie puts her hand out to Olive, and Olive pulls Masie into a hug. Alex grabs Clem and joins the Olive-Masie hug. Clem pulls Rosie into the group hug.

### Flying Class

* Two days later, the Gryffindors have Flying Class with the Slytherins (e.g., Ashley Indigo, Glenn Coyle, Meryl Candlelight, Hayden Antwerk). It is taught by Professor Rolanda Hooch.
* When saying "up" to their brooms, Masie's broom doesn't budge, Olive's leaps into her hand, and Clem's wobbly hops into her hand.
* Masie tries again, but fails again. Clem and Olive comfort Masie. Masie tells them that she doesn't want to let her friends and family down. Clem gives Masie a pep talk.
* Masie tries again, and the broom leaps into her hand. Madam Hooch teaches them how to fly their brooms.

## Quotes

* Wack: "Olive, are you still practicing the Lumos spell? Negaoryx: "No, I'm pretending like I did the Nox one correctly, and I'm just going, '[GASP] It's absolutely gone!' and anyone who will look at me, I'm going, 'Look at it. First try. It's like it was never there at all!'"
* Rosalina Earthcloud: "What if we got, like, I don't know, like a whole chocolate cake?"
* Olive Everglade: "I used to see my dad do this spell on my mum all the time back home. How hard can it be? [...] No, no, no, no, I remember, I remember the name of it, and I'll kind of just figure it out as I go along, you know? Like muscle memory but for something I've never done before. [Negaoryx: And I'm just gonna kind of point at Rosalina and I'm gonna swirl my wand and boop her nose and go] Aguamenti."
* Masie Skyler to Olive Everglade: "I mean, haven't you, haven't you really done enough damage for one day?"
* Clem: "Wait, we just lost five points. Was it that?" Olive: "No, we paid a price of five points to make Rosalina feel better." Clem: "Do you feel better, Rosalina?" Olive: "That's what we did. They were not lost. They were allocated towards the happiness of our friend!" Clem: "Do you feel better when we lose house points? Because I can make that happen."
* Rosie: "I would feel my best if we could all eat dinner together. And I had such a hard day, that it would really mean the world to me if we could all just get along." Clem: "Oh, I am gonna eat so good."
* Negaoryx: "Okay, I will say I will choose pass out or flee." Wack: "Okay, I assume you want to flee?" Negaoryx: "Oh no." Wack: "You pass out?!" Negaoryx: "You assume wrong. I pass out at the dinner table."
* Luxie: "When you burn someone so hard, they actually pass out. Sick."
* Clem: "The last time I was in a hospital was the worst day of my life." Olive: "What a coincidence, this is the worst day of mine."
* Rosie: "These points are imaginary and I don't understand why everybody cares so much when really what we should be caring about is each other and I think that we - maybe we, maybe we could resolve this with a bit of pocket mashed potatoes."
* Wack: "Who can really understand what those looks mean, really?" Zcotticus: "Do you want me to kill them? Shall I kill them?" Mirggles: "Honestly, coming from Clem, could really be up there as an option."
* Rosie: "Clem, were you in a car accident?" Clem: "Ehhh, like a smallish biggish one."
* Clem: "Rosalina, I gave her a pen. She thought it was the coolest thing ever. I felt kinda bad about it actually."
* Olive: "This has been one of the best days of my life."
* Olive: "I would eat mashed potatoes out of your cloak literally any day of the week."
* Clem: "You've got this. Use the power of your blood. Just shout it."
* Kolo: "Can we maybe just like have the option to pick one? So you can plus one or you can minus one, and the other one you can like null out to a zero? I'm asking for a friend." Luxie: "Is the friend the spirit of Christmas since you killed it? Sorry Kolo, I love you."
* Luxie: "Kolo's going to cry herself to sleep tonight if you guys aren't nicer to her!"
* Mirggles: "You told us to go away!" Negs: "But I didn't mean it!" Mirggles: "So you weren't being honest!" Wack: "This is the best mechanic that I've put into the game. I'm so happy about it."
* Luxie: "Hello! You may have seen me here shoving mashed potatoes into not only my mouth but other people's."

## Fun Facts

* The character art was updated with house-specific apparel.
* Negaoryx is a Slytherin, so the whole cast makes jokes about Olive being in Gryffindor and not Slytherin.
* Kolo continues to get teased for giving a -1 to Olive for their Relationship last episode when Negs was absent.
* Wack decided to balance the house points by making three rolls for each house total. That is, the players would all roll and then Wack would roll the remaining rolls so that each house got three rolls each. The roll is a 2d6. On a 6 or lower, the house gets -5 points; on a 7 to 9, the house gets +2 points; and on a 10+, the house gets +5 points.
* There are no designated house tables during normal meal times, just for the Start-of-the-Term feast. Students don't necessarily sit with people from the same house.
* Kolo gets teased for verbally burning Olive.
* Mirggles acts out Clem's spy eyes to silently communicate with Masie.
* Kolo jokingly asks to change the end of session relationship assignments to choosing to +1 or -1 instead of having to do both, but this change was actually made in a later episode.
* Negs accidentally called Luxie's character was named Rosalyn
* Wack cited Planet Zoo as the cause for delay of the (then) new version of the WaW rulebook
