Merlin's beard - and the rest

Brianna looked over her shoulder, glancing between the members of the group before she returned her sight to the puzzle box. "I'm going to start arranging the words. Are we good with 'Help is always available at Hogwarts for those who ask for it'?" Bree asked, pulling out the piece with the name of the school on it.

 

Marigold looks over the owls in all their cubbies and then steps over to pet Tootsie and give him an owl treat "Yeah its the most logical sentence with those words"

 

Demian gave a smile to all the owls. "Hallo little birdies," he calls out. He was a little daft when it came to animals. He just assumes they all like him, even hissing ones. He gives a nod to Brianna that he's onboard with it. "You go girl," he grins. "Anything you need me to do?" He starts to do his pacing thing. The one that's like a caged tiger. Left to right to left he goes.

 

Jamie nodded slightly. "Yeah, that would make sense with these words." They pause and then grin. "I remember that Vicky said something like that before in class... Imagine him quoting Merlin. Wicked. And bloody ancient."

 

Riven gave Bree a slight nod and replied, "makes sense, yeah?" She slowly reached over and pulled her wand from her sleeve. She had no idea what to expect and wasn't about to get caught unprepared.

 

Reese stood up on her tiptoes and nodded quickly to Bree, "Yeah, uhuh, sounds the most right, anyways!" She then very quickly crossed her fingers in hope. Hearing Jamie, she piped up with a giggling, "Vik is so olde he probably /knew/ Merlin."

 

Brianna Malcolm slid the 'Hogwarts' tile into place, quickly moving and arranging ten of the eleven others to form the phrase. "Uh...have your wand at the ready, Katzen. All of you actually. Who knows what will happen when I put this last piece in." she requested of everyone, dropping the final piece baring 'it' into place, shifting the box to her other hand so that she too could have her wand available. "Help is always available at Hogwarts for those who ask for it." Bree repeated the phrase, taking a small step toward the window.

 

As Brianna moved the pieces into place, each one let a soft chime leave them, before when she spoke the words aloud the Puzzlebox /shook/, a soft clapping noise filling the air, almost drowned out by the gentlest of chimes that rang from the Puzzlebox.

 

The room darkened softly, Professor Blightly stepping forwards to watch before the window of the Owlery once more shifted, until it turned into what looked like a full-bodied visage of the Wizard Merlin, a grin upon his face as he clapped for the students.

 

"Very well done!"
