It’s finally time to announce the winner of our “Where in the World is Sybil Trelawney” winner. Our winner is none other than… MagicalPerfect.

You may be wondering why it’s taken nearly a week to announce the winner? Well that’s actually a pretty simple answer. Our generous winner requested that her prize be donated back to her house to be used to raise money for RIF. I was really taken back by this request, but lets face it, the prize was pretty amazing. The prize will be hosted on a HPFF sponsored auction and more information will be available soon on how you can bid for this item.

The Ravenclaws definitely deserve a few props for their cleverness. They managed to turn the competition into a fundraising event earning $60 as a house by getting sponsorships for the riddles they solved. Special thanks should be made to Ravengrffendor for motivating our little Ravens.

Thank you to everybody to everybody who participated in this competition; it was one of our most challenging. I hope you all enjoyed your sleepless nights and coffee overdoes. The Henchmen and riddles will remain on the site through the end of August.

Here are the answers to the competition: (Highlight the text below)

This is a good time to get out there and live the life you never had the chance to! I'm often tempted to do that, but I just can't figure out where "there" is -- every time I get there, it's here. Maybe if I run really fast? Or perhaps tie the knot? It’s not all that riddikulus of a notion in matters of the heart. Oh well, if you figure it out, be sure to be happy.

This Spells out Myrtle's Loo


1 : Flushing Once Oh how dreadful, I knew that boy could not be trusted. In his second riddle pay attention the first and seventh letter of his second hint.
Word: To
2 : Flushing Twice This is my favorite suspect out of the lot. He’s not afraid to show his softer side. In his first hint you’ll need to write down the first letter of his third sentence followed by the next to last letter in the same sentence. Next, you’ll need the letter between the two “e’s” in the last hint. You’ll only need the last end to finish off this word. Word: Save

3 : Flushing Thrice by Myrtles_Loo While this suspect is not the first person I would have asked I would still share my toilet with him. He mentions the next word you need twice, and no it isn’t the obvious word. Word: Professor

4 : Flushing Four Times by Myrtles_Loo Poor miserable mopping Myrtle, he never cared enough to come check on me. He doesn’t care that I died. He thinks everybody is capable of solving his or her own problems. Do you remember to whom he was referring?
Word: Trelawney
5 : Flushing Five Time by Myrtles_Loo I personally avoid this henchman. He gives me the shivers. I would not share my toilet with him. If you look at the first two letters of the next to last word in the first sentence of the third hint you’ll have a start. You’ll need an us to help you make the bridge before you add the final letter, which is beginning of the name of the person who won’t approach this henchman.
Word: Flush

6: Flushing Six Times by Myrtles_Loo I’ve ventured into this place a few times. I wouldn’t recommend it. If you take a gander at first word in the second hint it will all make sense. Word: The
7 : Flushing Several Times by Myrtles_Loo We’re getting near the end and it’s important you pay attention to the order I’m about to give you. Find the first letter of the second word in hint VI and then the double letters in the perfect hint. Word: Loo


Final Puzzle:

Who would want to flush poor Professor Trelawney down a loo? Surely you didn’t think she fell in there on her own free will? Myrtle does have a habit of embellishing the truth. My inner eye has found evidence that one of the suspects wanted to place a hex on the Professor as an early birthday presents. Below is the Prophecy that Trelawney was working on when she was attacked and cursed with an enlarging bladder hex. Can you solve this final mystery first?
Through the sight of the crystal orb, one is prepared.For the most abnormal of hallowed bonds will be shared.On a code of honor the vows will be sealed.A silver streak will cross my love vein.He will join me in this rite, on the darkness wherethe moon glows as scarlet as Mars.An early birthday present is not what is desired.
