Toadwort School of Magic & Mayhem

There’s a grand feast tonight at the Toadwort School of Magic and Mayhem. The headmaster, Professor Bumblebee, has invited all the students, teachers, and ghosts together for the presentation of the school’s newest and most powerful artifact, the Philosopher’s Scone. This marvelous object provides an endless supply of baked goods to any witch or wizard with the strength to control it.

The hour has arrived for the unveiling—but what is this? Someone has overcome the magical obstacles guarding the treasure, and pinched the venerable Scone! Who could have done it? Was it the wayward trio, Harriet Putter, Rain Sneezely and Hermes Tranger? Was it the devious Draggo Misfit and his minion Crabby Gargoyle?

Was it the ghost Nearly-Noseless Nickie?Or maybe it was—YOU!
