At Hogwarts, it was rather often that things weren't quite as they were expected to be. Most students had by now acclimatised to many of the school's quirks: they knew which steps to avoid, which doors changed their passage on a Friday, and to not be surprised when a mirror told them to go brush their hair. Today, however, things were definitely strange, even for Hogwarts.
There was something wrong with the mirrors.
Every time someone walked past a mirror, it always seemed to be reflecting something entirely different from what it was supposed to. Tropical islands, dusty deserts, modern cities of metal and glass... but nearly every time a confused student turned to double check, the mirror seemed to return to normal.
It didn't disappear every time, though. Sometimes, the image would linger there, showing the students and teachers of Hogwarts something entirely unfamiliar. And, every so often, there would be a person there, just as confused as they were, and with plenty of questions.
Was it worth stopping for a chat?
[This marks the beginning of our Visitor Event. Visitors and members alike are welcome to start a thread in this post. Please note that visitors will always be on the other side of the mirror, and not in Hogwarts itself.
This event will last for one week. Our event guidelines can be found
