Oly And His Super List Of Fun
Are you finding yourself bored between classes or on the weekends? Trouble being without the distractions of the Mobile phone or that one good cartoon? Well look no further my friends because I have a list of ideas to keep you amused, healthy, and possibly learning! Now you might think, how could somebody learn from doing nothing? Well it’s simple you find things to do that can help teach you without even trying. It’s true that sometimes being stuck in a castle days at a time isn’t good for the mental mind, but the Castle of Hogwarts has a lot to offer an idle mind. I give you the first batch of fun ideas!
I miss watching my shows!
Me too! Though did you know the portraits around the school not only move, but offer free advice, stories, and sometimes interesting facts? Who needs a Telly when you can pick from the many, many portraits. I have heard from a reliable source that some will send you on tasks, and reward! Maybe you can find a hidden treasure!
We’re not allowed to adventure around!
Tragic it really is when you feel like a caged animal, but fear not. Hogwarts is home to moving staircases, hidden hallways, and mysterious doors. What better adventure than to take a walk around and get to know the Castle. You don’t need to go too far if you find a hallway that leads to someplace new! A source tells me if you are lucky you might run into the door that doesn’t exist!
I always study! It’s always study this and that!
As a Ravenclaw I cannot get enough studying, but I sympathize with those who do not have the same love. Instead of boring yourself to snoring, try talking to some new people. Our school has a diversity of people from all walks of life, perhaps you never spoke to a Half Veela, Maybe a kid with glasses, the one who talks about shoes, or even the small collection of Half Goblins. You might not have to study to learn but learning about your peers is the first step to gaining knowledge about other walks of life!
But I hate people, and people hate me!
I understand the thinking that you might not fit in and that’s pretty boring to be alone! Don’t lose hope if you don’t like people, guess what. We have house elves, animals, and all sorts of interesting animals. Maybe talking to someone isn’t your cup of tea but I will bet if you had a chat with a House Elf they might entertain you. Worst case you could get to know the animals of the castle. I’ve heard there are some cats roaming about, and don’t forget if you want to help reach out to the Grounds Keeper!
We don’t have any fun games!
Untrue, the castle is large enough for something like hide and seek, scavenger hunts, we have wizard chess, normal chess, chess that fights, rock paper scissors, or good ol fashion racing each other on the grounds. The possibilities are limitless and if you are a risk taker check out the many climbable trees, though avoid the whomping willow.
None of that sounds fun!
Of course not but that doesn’t mean there isn’t something for you! Are you into sports head on down to the pitch. Maybe you want to get in some running, take a long jog plenty of space. You even might be the type who just wants to be lazy, and nobody said a Nap isn’t entertaining. Find a cozy spot and take a nap, maybe even start a dream journal and ask the Divination Professor to figure it out!
If you think there is never something to do here in our home of Hogwarts you’re not using your imagination.
