## Synopsis

Olive wakes up in the middle of the night, seemingly in a daze, a bit confused as to what’s going on. She hears a strange tune. The hospital wing is a bit dark, as night has fallen. Aside from the tune, Olive can hear a voice that says, “Come to the window.” Olive is compelled to go to the window. As she approaches the window, she can see an ethereal shape outside.

Later, Masie hears a noise that wakes her up in the middle of the night. She’s a bit groggy. She rubs her eyes and looks for some water. She finds some water on her nightstand. Masie realizes that Olive isn’t in her bed. The covers of Olive’s bed have been pulled to the side. Masie feels around Olive’s bed. It doesn’t feel warm, but it also doesn’t feel super cold. It seems like Olive hasn’t been in bed for a while. Masie notices that Sebastian and Raye are still strapped down, but it doesn’t look like they’re trying to walk anymore. Masie goes over to Raye and notices that there’s no more remaining magic around Raye. It doesn’t look like Sebastian or Raye are under any magical control. Masie also notices that the shiny hair-like object she noticed on Raye isn’t there anymore. Masie gently wakes Raye up. Raye wakes up and starts panicking because she’s realizing for the first time that she’s been strapped down. Raye is confused and demands to be released. Masie hesitates and suggests that she get Madam Pomfrey instead. Masie looks for Madam Pomfrey. She walks outside of the hospital wing. Masie casts Lumos, but her wand flies out of her hands. She picks up her wand and investigates the area right outside of the hospital wing to see if she can find any clues as to where Olive is. Masie doesn’t see any remaining magic, but she notices a little bit of leftover pocket mash on the stairs. Masie inspects the pocket mash very carefully, scooping some up with her finger and sniffing it. Masie suspects that the pocket mash is from Olive since she gave Rosie her hair clip to seal her pocket. Masie becomes anxious and decides to go find some of her friends to help her find Olive. She decides to go to Gryffindor Tower. She starts walking, but because she’s so anxious, she mutters to herself along the way and isn’t aware of her surroundings, so she accidentally bumps into Mrs. Nanny Buckland. Masie pretends to be sleepwalking. Mrs. Nanny Buckland sees through Masie’s lie and drags her by the ear to Gryffindor Tower. She also takes 15 points from Gryffindor. When they arrive at Gryffindor Tower, the Fat Lady wakes up from her sleep and asks for the password. Masie is confused why Mrs. Nanny Buckland doesn’t know the password. Masie speaks with the Fat Lady and eventually says the password. Mrs. Nanny Buckland tells Masie to go to bed. Masie runs up to the bedroom. Olive is not in her bed. Masie finds Clem, who is fast asleep, snoring. Masie turns Clem over and gently wakes her up. Masie tells Clem that Olive has gone missing. Clem finds her mismatched socks and puts them on (inside-out). Moss peeks out from under the covers. Clem puts Moss in Masie’s arms. Moss cuddles Masie. Masie holds Moss awkwardly. Clem takes Moss back, puts him on her bed, and pets him. Clem suggests bringing Moss as a way to know if there’s another person near them (because Moss would run away if there’s another person around). Masie hesitates and reveals that she’s allergic to cats. Clem and Masie sneak out of Gryffindor Tower toward the hospital wing. Masie shows Clem the pocket mash she found on the stairs outside of the hospital wing. Masie and Clem hear Raye calling out. They discuss whether they should let Raye out or not. They wonder where Madam Pomfrey is. They worry about Olive. Clem says they need Rosie’s help. Masie remembers that Rosie told them how to get into the Hufflepuff dormitory. Masie and Clem sneak to the Hufflepuff dormitory. On the way there, they pass through the kitchens and see pots and pans being washed magically while nobody is there. They arrive at the entrance of the Hufflepuff dormitory. Clem remembers that the password is a rhythmic tapping of the wand on the third barrel to the syllables of Helga Hufflepuff. Masie and Clem enter the Hufflepuff common room. Clem notices some traps. Masie doesn’t see any pocket mash, but she sees Bucket snuggled up in a tiny bit of clothes and sitting on one of the smaller barrels near the fireplace and hugging a crystal. Clem mistakenly thinks that Rosie turned into an animal (Bucket). Masie recognizes the creature as a thief that’s not too dangerous. Clem suggests stealing the crystal from Bucket and seeing if Bucket searches for other crystals in the area, which might help them find Rosalina. Clem steals the crystal from Bucket and hides it. Clem peeks through the right door and sees that it’s the girl’s dormitory, but she doesn’t recognize anyone. She sees a door on the other side of the room and starts sneaking that way, but as she begins to walk on the carpet, she realizes that she’s seemingly walking in place. The carpet starts to roll up behind her. It rolls toward Clem rapidly. Clem tries to evade the carpet, but she gets swallowed up by the carpet. This makes a lot of noise and wakes up the Hufflepuffs.

Meanwhile, Olive, after getting called to the window, hears the voice say, “You have to find it. I need to know what’s going on. Go to the library. See if you can find the history. You need to find it. Don’t get caught. You need to help me.” As that’s being said, Olive feels a strange sensation and she feels compelled to do what they say. She continues to hear the strange tune, which sounds like it’s happening in rhythm with the voice. Olive feels compelled to leave the hospital wing and head towards the library quietly. She sneaks past Mrs. Nanny Buckland who was patrolling the school. There isn’t anyone in the library. Olive shuts the door behind her and casts Lumos. She looks for *Hogwarts: A History* and a History of Magic book. She finds *Hogwarts: A History*. Olive notices that the strange music she hears gets louder as she walks closer to the window of the library. Olive sees a shape outside of the window. The voice says, “Do you have it?” Olive says yes. The voice asks her to find out what happened by opening the book. Olive asks for their name. Olive asks what year they started school. The voice says that they’re a third year and that it’s 1705. The voice says that they’ve been trying, but they can’t go back. Olive asks what they’re looking for. They ask if there’s a map in the book. Olive asks what they’re looking for. They say that it’s not there anymore, but it used to be by the greenhouses. Olive asks if they can remember anything out. The voice says they think they got out, but they can’t remember how. The shape gets closer to the leaded window of the library. Olive sees pale colors, similar to the ghosts she’s seen throughout Hogwarts. It looks like a kid wearing a cravat with faded Ravenclaw colors and a tailcoat robe, like a waistcoat with a high collar. Olive confirms that they’re in Ravenclaw. Olive opens *Hogwarts: A History* to 1705 but can’t seem to find anything. However, she remembers that there was an entire wing of Hogwarts that vanished in 1705.

Meanwhile, there is quite a commotion happening in the Hufflepuff dormitories, as a trap has been sprung by Clem and Masie, alerting the prefects and professors. There is mass chaos with people yelling. Everyone has been woken up. Rosie wakes up and hears Rain waking up, patting around for her goggles. Rain puts on her goggles, but they’re a bit askew. Jacinth sits up sleepily. It’s about 3am or 4am. Rosie hears prefects yelling, “Gryffindors in the Hufflepuff dormitory!” Rosie grabs Sweet Pea and a crystal and wanders into the hallway. Rosie sees Clem and Masie being yelled at by the prefects. Rosie rushes over and inserts herself into the situation, standing between her friends and the 7th year prefects, Arvilla Catts and Gustav Prott, who are very angry. The prefects discuss whether they should call for their Head of House, Professor Bucks. Rosie tries to convince them that perhaps Clem and Masie are cursed like Raye and Sebastian and perhaps didn’t enter the Hufflepuff dormitory of their own accord. Arvilla is very insistent that Gustav should get the Head of House. Gustav says they’re just first years. He suggests docking the points themselves, but Arvilla says they’d have to explain it. He suggests taking them to Madam Pomfrey. Rosie agrees. Masie says that she came from the hospital wing. Arvilla takes 20 points total from Gryffindor (10 each) and tells Gustav to take them. Rosie convinces Gustav that she can take them by herself. Gustav relents but says that Rosie must come back and that he’ll check on her. Masie catches Rosie up on what has happened so far. As she explains, she starts to have a meltdown and cries, becoming a wet noodle into Rosie, who holds her. Rosie gives Masie a stale cookie. Clem gives Masie a light back rub. Rosie gives Masie a crystal that her dads had given to her when she stubbed her toe one time riding a bicycle. Masie is embarrassed, but Rosie and Clem comfort her. The three of them head to the hospital wing and run into Mrs. Nanny Buckland on the way. Rosie convinces Mrs. Nanny Buckland that Masie and Clem need to go to the hospital wing. Clem tells Masie to cry harder and Rosie tells Clem to look more distraught, so Clem pretends to cry.

Meanwhile, in the library, Olive searches the book to find historical maps of Hogwarts over the years to see if she can find one from a timeframe including 1705. Olive finds three or four maps of Hogwarts through the years. She notices that in the 1400s, there was a whole wing near the greenhouses and vegetable garden with classrooms labeled Herbology and Dark Creatures. The book says that Dark Creatures was like Defense against the Dark Arts and was a class that was devoted to learning about evil creatures (at the time, Care of Magical Creatures was not yet a class). Olive shows this part of the map to the ghostly figure through the window, using her wand to point to the Dark Creatures classroom. The ghostly figure says that they can’t see, so they ask Olive to open the window. Olive hesitates, but fails to resist the ghostly figure’s influence and opens the window. Olive suggests that they could go to the Dark Creatures classroom together. The ghostly figure asks her to show him the book. Olive shows him, and he says that he came from that wing. He asks why it isn’t there anymore and asks why things look different. Olive tells him that it’s not 1705 anymore. He thinks she’s lying. Olive offers to help him get back to where he came from. The ghostly figure tells her to bring the book. Olive asks if they can leave the book behind because there might be security measures on the library. Olive starts to hear the music box again. Olive climbs out of the window with the book. She tries to climb down, but falls and breaks her left wrist. The ghostly figure looks for his wand to try to help, but he can’t find it. Olive promises to help him find his wand. She then begins to cry because she’s overwhelmed, homesick, and misses her dad. The ghostly figure tells her to go to the hospital wing and not tell anyone about him. Olive refuses and says she made a promise and still wants to help. Olive reaches her hand out to him, and he tries to take it, but his hand goes through. He looks at his hand in disbelief and asks if she did a spell on him. She says no, and that it’s not 1705 anymore. He thinks she’s lying, and he tries to fly away. Olive casts Petrificus Totalus on him. Olive apologizes but confronts him with the truth: that it’s not 1705 anymore and that he is a ghost. She tells him that she won’t leave him and that she’ll help him. Olive tries to move him, but she can’t, so she casts Carpe Retractum and lassoes him, but her wand flies out of her hand. Still trying to hold back tears, she retrieves her wand and slowly pulls him along. As she pulls, she sees something moving in the darkness.
