The Bag Switch Escapade: After overhearing the conversation between his father and Prof. Franklyn, James is convinced Prof. Jackson is involved with the Progressive Element, the conspiracy to return Merlin and that he has Merlin’s ceremonial robe in the satchel he constantly carries with him. The boys draft a plan to switch bags and give the contents to Harry as proof that the Progressive Element and Jackson are involved in a plot not only to return Merlin but to engage him in the plan for all out war against the Muggles. After searching for a suitable bag, Ralph discovers one owned by a fellow Slytherin. The student, a “rock hound” who uses it for tools, has received a new bag for Christmas and offers the old one to Ralph. With Ralph’s dress robes stuffed inside, Zane enchants it with the “visum-ineptio” charm and he and James smuggle it into the Technomancy classroom under the invisibility cloak. Despite a number of glitches and much to the surprise of the trio, they are successful. Not only do they secure Jackson’s bag but he does not seem to realize he has the fake one. The bag and robe are hidden in James’ magically locked trunk but not before James tries it on and vanishes into the void beyond space and time. Fortunately, Snape was able to send Cedric who rescues him from the “ether”. Ensuing events preclude James from ever giving the bag and cloak to Harry. All School Debate: Held in the school’s Amphitheater, the topic of the debate is “Re-evaluating the Assumptions of the Past: Truth or Conspiracy?” Tabitha Corsica is not on the debate committee but her friend Philia Goyle is chairperson and she is thought to have influenced the choice of topic. Prof. Franklyn moderates the proceedings. Team A Team B Petra Morganstern, Gryffindor – Captain Tabitha Corsica, Slytherin – Captain Zane Walker, Ravenclaw Tom Squallus, Slytherin Gennifer Tellus, Ravenclaw Heather Flack, Slytherin Andrew Haubert, Hufflepuff Nolan Beetlebrick, Slytherin Gerald Jones, AAU Ralph Deedle, Slytherin Team B’s opening argument maintains that current Ministry policies such as the Law of Secrecy, the assumption that Wizard-Muggle contact will result in war and the existence of “Dark Magic” are discriminatory, false and the basis for prejudice against the Muggle world. Their goal is equality for Wizards and Muggles alike. Team A’s counter-argument postulates that such reasoning is based on the assumption that history is a fabrication of the truth. In the midst of this, Ted and Noah launch a Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes fireworks display, representing a humorous presentation of the Dark Mark and a Lightening Bolt. With no clear winner, Team B’s final argument asserts that “Lord Tom Riddle” was a misguided but wellmeaning wizard whose desire for Wizard-Muggle equality was too radical for the ruling class to allow; that he was defamed by a campaign of half-truths and lies and ultimately defeated and mercilessly killed by the old powers. In the end, it was an outright personal attack on Harry 16
which so riles the crowd, Prof. Franklyn and Prof. McGonagall are both needed to restore order. While James has been angry with Ralph for participating on Tabitha’s team, Ralph says nothing during the debate and leaves the stage during the outburst, apologizing to James for being so caught up with the Progressive Element. The Broomstick Caper: After a Slytherin vs Gryffindor match, the trio is convinced Tabitha’s broom is Merlin’s staff and plot to seize it. They attempt to steal it from the Slytherin girls dormitory, using the Marauder’s map and the Invisiblity Cloak to sneak Zane and James into the dungeon. Tabitha guards her broom closely though, thus foiling their plan and resulting in Zane’s near-capture. With help from the Gremlins, who conjure a cyclone, and under the Invisibility Cloak, James and Ralph sneak into the Slytherin holding pen/locker room before a Quidditch match against Ravenclaw. The plan is for both Ralph and James to fly off on the broom during the cyclone on the field but James doesn’t expect the broom to suddenly take off with him, leaving Ralph behind. Ralph is left to sneak out using the Invisiblity Cloak. After a wild ride, it deposits James back on the Quidditch pitch with a fractured right ulna; Tabitha explains her broom knows its mistress and always returns to her. McGonagall places James under house arrest in the Infirmary and Prof. Jackson assigns Philia Goyle and Kevin Murdock as guards outside the door to insure compliance. This little caper costs Gryffindor and Ravenclaw 50 house points each. The Hall of Elders’ Crossing: James thinks this is a place but it actually is an event; the alignment of the planets which he first hears of from Ted and Petra. Madame Delacroix has the Divination class and Constellation Club plotting out star charts, working out timing and mapping out this astrological event. Merlin’s return is to occur during this time if all his relics are gathered in the proper place. Zane declares he knows when the event will occur because he is mapping out star charts for Madame Delecroix in the Constellation Club, but Prof. Snape informs the trio that they are only determining the hour, Madame Delacroix has known the date for over a year and it is a day earlier than she is leading them to believe. Merlin’s Return: On the evening of the Hall of Elders’ Crossing, or the alignment of the planets, Merlin’s three Relics are to be gathered in the Grotto Keep. In hopes of thwarting this event, James, Zane and Ralph hurry to the Grotto, which has grown to cathedral-like proportions. While they know the Throne is already there, they believe steps have been taken to prevent the Robe and Staff from materializing. Unfortunately, no one knows that Ralph’s wand is the Staff or realizes that what James thinks is the invisibility cloak is really the Robe. Madame Delacroix, in wraith form, is already waiting. The boys take cover, just in time to see Prof. Jackson approach. She disarms them, stuns Prof. Jackson, takes the Robe and the Staff and the reapparition of Merlin begins. But Merlin is less than pleased with the circumstances of his return; he deals harshly with Madame Delacroix and Austraddux, casts a sleeping spell over the boys and storms off toward the castle. The Sylvven Tower: Traditionally the highest point of any castle, recent additions to Hogwarts castle now overreach the much older tower. After Merlin’s return, he demands a meeting with the “Pendragon”. The Sylvven Tower is the site of the meeting between Prof. 17
