Lesson Three
- Your task this week is to pretend-roleplay. Pretend to be in London, right above the Ministry of Magic. You just came out of the Ministry of Magic from the Department of Magical Creatures, where you received a license to have a Diricawl as your pet.
- You will exit through London, where you will make your way to the Leaky Cauldron and eventually back to Hogwarts. How will you conceal the creature? Remember it has its own magical powers to hide itself, but you must also remember M.O.M. rules and expectations of license-holders.
- Roleplay your way from the London exit of the Ministry of Magic to the Leaky Cauldron.
