Flopping down on your couch, you begin rereading the Harry Potter books for the gazillionth time. Just as Harry’s finally going to Hogwarts, you’re interrupted by your parents calling you to dinner. You set down the book with an annoyed sigh, deciding to keep reading after dinner.
Returning to the book, you notice a strange lump between the pages. You excitedly flip through to find what seems to be your Hogwarts letter! Opening it up, you read the following, written in familiar loopy handwriting:
Dearest CBer,
This is not your Hogwarts letter.
Sorry.
It is, however, an invitation to the most marvelous experience you could ever dream of: a month’s stay in none other than the Leaky Cauldron, for 15 people only (not including companions). All supplies will be provided, and yes, the popcorn is free. Just fill out the attached forms before the slots are all taken. We await your owl!

Oh gosh oh gosh oh gosh oh GOSH
This is kinda REALLY BAD.
Quite so. Not only was our group of misadventurers plausible suspects for the first murder, as we were passing out food, we are also suspects for the second murder, along with Kitten.
AND I GOT BURNED!
*so did I, but you don't see ME complaining.
WELL, YOU'RE A WITCH! AND YOU'RE NOT EVEN A SUSPECT! I HAVE IT THE WORST!
Without a doubt. I personally vote Andrea as the murderer.
HEY!
You literally just stated you yourself had it the worst for suspecting.
I'm voting for her too.
WHAT THE HECK, ELLA?!
Well, I mean, you are with Voldemort, and-
HOW DID YOU FIND OUT?!
Andrea, YOU ARE ME.
Oh.
*meh, I've always wanted to see someone else burned at a stake. I vote Andy.
Well, I can't vote for myself! I think Zeke.
Oh, you're just biased.
You have been pretty vioent in the pa-
DON'T.
Okay then...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
#NOOOOOOOOOOOOO (heh heh but at least I have some SPACE now! And I don't have to listen to Emerald Frost gabbing on about being careful with who I make FRIENDS with!#
Whom.
#Hey, you weren't supposed to hear that! You're dead!#
Only in tale, not in truth.
#WHAT?! YOU DON'T HAVE A TAIL!!!!!#
*sighs* If I did, I would strike you with it!
#Oh yeah? Well -#
Really, you two are such bad girls! Especially you, Emerald.
#smirks#
You need to be more careful and calm, like usual, in future. I don't know WHAT got into you! Be yourself, and we'll be fine!
Well really, I
Go to your room!
I'm not your child! I'm ageless, for goodness' sake -
#You heard her, Emmy.#
Ouch.

Hm, that's interesting. The last two segments were weirdly spaced but had italics and bold, whereas this segment isn't weirdly spaced but doesn't have italics and bold. It could be, I suppose, that this segment wasn't supposed to have any fancy formatting, or maybe copy-pasting just was weird this time? Ooh, maybe the other of Dumbledore and Voldemort posted this one!
Speaking of which, I am still out of ideas of who you guys might be. Anyone else? Ideas?
Hm, this section brings up some new suspects. I mean, obviously anyone could be the murderer (since the full list of people who passed out food wasn't given, and if I were the murderer I wouldn't have drawn attention to myself by running upon hearing Beverly shriek), but Ella, Gracia, and NatureWriter all look suspicious.
(May 3, 2019 - 5:52 pm)
Ideas? Hmm. How about Joan B. of Arc? She reserved and then didn't post, so maybe she was too busy writing this...
I dunno.
(May 3, 2019 - 6:29 pm)
*sweats because even I suspect myself*
(May 4, 2019 - 8:44 am)
Ah, poor Spiffycat and Emerald Frost. Someone must have cursed the skull, and Imperiused Emerald Frost.
*gasp* Voldemort you GIT, you just killed Dumbledore?? Okay, forget it, I don't want to be on your side. Rest in peace, Dumbledore.
Hazel says gdmv. Good move? Omigosh, Hazel, are you seriously congratulating Voldemort...okay, I've seen it all, and my CAPTCHA is evil.

@Dumbledore and Voldemort, I have a question, if you don't mind answering--are you two actually two people running and writing this ski lodge, or are you one person acting as two characters? And whatever you say to that, are you Icy or Darkking? (Yes, I know Darkking's in this ski lodge but that doesn't rule him out)
(May 4, 2019 - 8:14 am)
Neither of us are Joan B. of Arc, or Icy, or Darkking.
We are actually two people running and writing the ski lodge. I, 'Voldemort,' write some of the parts posted as 'Dumbledore&Voldemort,' and my partner, 'Dumbledore,' writes others of the parts. But any time I post as Voldemort, like I did now, I was the one who wrote that piece. It's actually really fun to write for Voldemort. :)
(going back into character here)
I did NOT kill Dumbledore. Does no one remember that a red curse means stun, not kill? I would never have killed Dumbledore for fear of repercussions... he's too well-regarded in the Wizarding community and has too many supporters.
Leafy, please reconsider joining me. I promise you I will not kill Dumbledore or otherwise harm him in a lasting way. He is an ally, for the moment, no matter how much I despise him.
(May 4, 2019 - 12:29 pm)
I... need to read Harry Potter more times. *Headdesks* Red is stun. Green is kill. Red is stun. Ugh.
Well, no, I won't join you. If you and Dumbledore are allies, why did you stun him? And I don't trust your "in a lasting way" phrase. Oh, and you did mention you wanted to "exterminate" Dumbledore. And I'm sorry, but Death Eaters just get a bad rep. If you want people to trust you, maybe form a less-feared organization.
(May 5, 2019 - 2:37 pm)
Eggs and potatoes, sounds delicious. Oh dear, people are dead! Ah well. It happens. *shrugs*
Are either of you Rogue or SpiffJith?
(May 5, 2019 - 8:04 pm)
Nope, not Rogue or SpiffJith!
Yes, I was going to have it be eggs and bacon, and then Dumbledore pointed out that you're vegan. Or vegetarian? Or something?
(May 5, 2019 - 11:20 pm)
Vegetarian, yes. Nice catch, Dumbledore.
