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

"What? What news? And what does it have to do with the club?"


"You haven't heard? Marielle told Monique, and then Monique told me, that you have been expelled."


"What? How is this possible?"


"You have no idea?"


"No."


No he does not have a clue, because a fickle Sim god decided he has to go, in order for Argus Filch to move in.
I started making an office and bedroom for Filch by using up some of that Elf kitchen space.








So what does Argus Filch bring me?


Well, there is still no room for Mrs. Norris, but he can invite her and let her roam Hogwarts.


"Who's a pretty cat?"


"You're a pretty cat."


But his main purpose is upgrading all of Hogwarts appliances, repairing them, taking care of the gardening, and keeping the castle clean.


Plus he also adds a sort of mini-game.


I intend for him to keep night hours. He sleeps from the afternoon until night.
And then he goes about his job while they sleep. I really don't want the students interacting with him much.


He will have Irma Pince as the other member of his house staff club.
I have yet to see her put up any books however, but I am usually busy with other sims.


"I am a librarian, not a Gardner."


I gave Filch all the skills he needs, except writing.
I am using writing to keep him busy when the students are active.

"This is ridiculous."

And if she is going to risk all that, the reward has to be good.
Uh oh, Professor Snape is also up and about.


Walls up!
The rule is he has to be able to see her.
She's behind that door, so she is fine as long as she doesn't open it now.


She can't see him, so I am not going to stop her either.


Oop! There he is.


Turn around, get back to your room!
She wants to earn a painting skill point. It's worth 100 reward points.


So what does she want?
She needs to steal a potion of Plentiful Needs so she can stay up all night and still be fresh for classes this morning.


Another annoyance for Snape.
These students leave their things anywhere they please.


She can wait in her common room until he leaves.




Alright, all clear.






Got it!
And smart girl, taking it back to the common room instead of drinking it here.


Home free!
I wish I had a Sneak Here command.


Now to earn those reward points and earn a few coin for her painting.
She may even use the money for a wish at the wishing well.




Ugh!


That must have been a bad batch.
Now all of her needs are in the yellow. She can't take classes like this.

Well there is nothing for it.
She's going to need another potion. Hopefully it won't curse her.

She won't be any trouble unless she comes down into the basement.


Got it!
Go!


Filch is really hungry now, so I am sending him to the dining hall.
I should have sent him to the basement kitchen, but I doubt he would have caught Monique.


Home free, again.


Now for the prize.


Marielle is out of bed, still in the common room, but it's too late for her to be going after anything.


Two cups of tea?


"Ah!"


"So worth it!"


That was fun.
At the end of the Fall term they will spend the Reward Points they have accumulated for Rewards Traits .


It might be worth losing a student.


Fall Term Progress
They are currently further ahead than what the spreadsheet shows.
Maybe they will finish early and I can use the rest of the term to play other characters and have them visit Hogwarts.
