Week 034: 'Expect the Unexpected'
Sunday, June 4th - Saturday, June 10th, 2006
Finally, there's something rotten in the state of Denmark - at least, that's what Shakespeare would have to say about the events surrounding Hogwarts castle. It was widely believed that Dumbledore's return to the position of Headmaster, fortunately in time for the approaching end of term, would bring what had gone awry back to rights. What people failed to do, however, was expect the unexpected - and that was exactly the philosophy the wizarding community should have been following. Although outward appearances reveal nothing, students and staff are bewildered by the changes inside the castle. Ancient defense charms are on the fritz, though not in a way that the Dark Lord would find advantageous. While each young witch and wizard can still sleep soundly, they might be surprised to find their bed in the kitchens rather than their dormitory. Ah, the trouble with magic has always seemed to be the overwhelming consequences of simple mistakes, things that cannot be so easily controlled.
The Hogwarts library, reopened the prior week with no explanation for its strange closure, continues to vanish, often repositioning itself in various corridors though completely in tact. Students may find themselves walking to class only to discover a moment later that they've been somehow transported to the middle of the grounds. The method to the madness is that there is no method, and while some may only see the large scale disappearing act as a major inconvenience, others fear for their lives. In order to conquer the problem at hand, students should simply adjust their manner of thinking. Expect the unexpected.
