Henford-On-Bagley and Down the Hogwarts Rabbit Hole I Go

I had Hagrid and Sybil Trelawney come over too, because they need to see Dumbledore.


A little-more-than-brief loading screen and they are on their way.
There are great finds on the gallery and I am more than pleased with these. Although I might try to tweak Snape some more.


Nanami Ito is always in Dumbledore's chair and on his computer whenever I load up.


"That's odd..."


"I could have sworn I heard movement in here as we approached the door."


Nanami has ninja skills, professor.


There is something else they don't know.
That's a secret door and there is a student in that secret chamber.


"Well, it seems he's not 'ere. There's nothin' fer it.
Why don't we all go over to the dinning hall and have somethin' ta eat?"


Hagrid leads the way.


Okay, I can't accept a cheerful Snape.
But I am sure he will have his dour moments.


Hagrid is almost perfect.
As for Dumbledore, I have no idea where he is. I couldn't find him, and since none of them know him yet, I could not lock on to him.


So I sent them on their way.


I loved Hagrid's exit.
I did not know he had a broom.




They are actually walking all the way back to the lot they are residing.


I could have had them just load up the lot, but there is no way I am missing this view.


I am a bit in awe of it.


I loaded up Hogwarts.
Sure enough, Michelle had trapped herself in the secret chamber.

And Dumbledore is here, now.


Fine, I will send Dumbledore to them.


I just need for them to meet, so I can create their social club.


Alright, I will admit that this Trelawney is not accurate.
But I don't care. The more I look at her, the cuter she gets.
I did enlarge her eyes a bit to make those glasses have a strong prescription. I also gave her wrinkles across her forehead, but the head scarf thingy hides them.


Hmm... the torrid love affair between Severus Snape and Sybil Trelawney. The spectacle no fan ever imagined or wanted.
The ship that never sailed. I don't know... It might happen here with this Trelawney. Sebil. Syverus. S. S. S. T. (Their initials)


So many possibilities.
And there is a problem introducing himself to Minerva McGonagall. It turns out she's a two-star celebrity. Much to important to be bothered with Albus Dumbledore.


Alright then.
So now I will have to get rid of her celebrity status.


A nice and polite introduction with Hagrid and we are done here.


I know Hagrid will have his hut in this location.
It's perfect. And all the critters TS4 can pull togehter. Sadly, no hippogriffs.


Anyway, back to Hogwarts to set up a staff meeting.
I want to see how these will work.

The students need something to do, so they will be practicing their spells.
A couple never learned their first spell.


Welcome, Minerva, have a seat.


The whole point of this is to get their relationship levels up enough to give them a key to Hogwarts.


Nanami learned her second spell already.


We may have a talented student here.


They are practicing in the rain, but everyone should be able to cast spells in all weather conditions.


We have Sybil. All we need now is Severus.


This staff club has only one activity, be friendly.


The Wizarding World embraces technology.
Without Voldemort, Arthur Weasley had a large influence on the use of Muggle artifacts.


Michelle learned her first spell.
Alright, go pick your wand.


What are you doing here, Miss Bloom?


Cleaning?


How nice.
Five points to Gryffindor.


A key has finally been given.
So kismet that it's Minerva.


Where is Snape?


Oh good-grief, get up here.


What is that?


Some kind of cattle prod, or taser. It would seem cruel, but with the kind of creatures that Hagrid likes, that would just tickle them.


Well, well, Snape is actually late.


Better not let the Students find out. He would never live it down.
10 points from Slytherin.


Finally.
This should feel like a staff meeting now.


I was getting such nostalgic feelings from this.
I am in Dumbledore's office witnessing a meeting with the staff. Thank you, Get Together.


While they were chatting, I took time out to add to student wardrobes.
A little more causal look, they will need clothes for after hours and the weekend.




This is going slower than I initially thought it would.


Perhaps a cash gift might speed things up.


"Uh, Professor Dumbledore, would this be a good time to bring up raises for this year?
The cost of living is going up you know?"


I don't think anymore keys are going to be given out today.
Dumbledore needs a break and he is hungry.


That is the Trelawny that I expect.


I guess it was just an episode.
Hey, where is Hagrid?


"Now that there is an experience to 'ave.
Speedin' down the slope, wind in yer hair, snow in yer beard.
Woosh... whoosh... whoosh."


That does it.
I will be sending Hagrid on a vacation to Komorebi, just from this little episode.
The school has nothing but skill books in it. Whenever anyone grabs a book, they are building skills.

Slytherin being the winner, would have their colors up all year until the next competition where a house can replace them with their own.


But I think I can go one better on this.


It's very, in your face.


If I were a Gryffindor, I would want that removed.


I even put in a podium so Dumbledore can give his year's end speech.


He loses his central seat, but I doubt I would get him and all the teachers to eat there anyway.


And if you are going to have a house cup competition, you are going to need a house cup.


Which is currently proudly displayed in the Slytherin common room.
They use it to serve butterbeer. Victory never tasted so good.


And while I was decorating, I embellished Hufflepuff with a few Kit plants.


It is the following day and the students are away at classes.
"Professor Snape, will you please stop by my office so we can continue our conversation?"


"You want a photo of me for your wall, sir?
Alright."




"Thank you for this responsibility, Headmaster."


"Professor Trelawney, will you come by my office, please?"


It feels like cheating to use photographs to get such a large increase in friendship levels, but I need to move things along.
One can only assume that in the world of The Sims, someone asking you for your photograph is a very, very flattering thing.




"Hm...? Oh!"


I believe Sybil is having a Lady Godiva moment, because she is totally naked.


"Professor, while I am sure that feels liberating, it might be better to put on more clothing so our conversation will have less... distractions."

"My apologies, Headmaster. One gifted in the divine arts may succumb to past life regression when the planets are aligned so."

The students are back and visit requests for the House members outside Hogwarts are coming.
Draco Malfoy shows up.


And McGonagall also drops by for a visit.


"A photo of me? Of course."




"Your Key."


"Thank you, sir. I look forward to this year."


Smexy Trelawney.
Totally unexpected. I suspect there will be less snorts and giggles in her class and more "Yes, professor." and "Very Interesting, professor."
