Long-Term Finance Class [Community Center, Thursday night]

Jack was practically bouncing around the room, so excited was he to start this final class. "We're treasure hunting!" he crowed. "Grab your shovels, your maps, your poison antidotes--" don't ask, "--and your sacks for hauling treasure! Last person to the treasure chest walks the plank!"

He was probably kidding, but there wouldn't be a chance to ask as he raced out the door, cackling to himself.

Wonder just how crazy this guy is. (Hint: Fairly.)

Treasure hunting. Sure. Hermione sort of felt like she should have seen this coming at some point, and yet. Sighing to herself, she grabbed the supplies and told herself firmly that no, she was not walking any planks, thank you.

On the map of town, carefully erased of all building landmarks, Jack had scrawled his first set of instructions:

Cavort ye, cha-cha style, t' where the see-saws squish the unwary squirrel. Then go four steps (cha cha cha) from the west corner o' the lake and dig fer yer next clue.

Oh, yes, you better cha-cha. He'll be watching.

This man had something deeply, deeply wrong with him.

Finding the see-saws was easy enough, and Hermione could take four steps from the west corner o' the lake just fine, but she wasn't actually cha-chaing. Because in all her years of learning magic and everything else books could teach her, she'd somehow missed the cha-cha lesson.

Once you've dug up your clue, you'd find the following directions (such as they were):

Skip along the street named fer the Natalie Portman movie (no, not that one. Th' other. Not that one either), then turn look ye fer clues in an abandoned house's mailbox.

Get to skipping!

Skipping? She was not six!

...Yet Hermione was still here, totally doing this. Because it was a class activity and she had to. Luckily she'd had enough exposure to television here to know what street that was, so then it was just going through abandoned mailboxes.

When you find the third clue (in a hollowed-out portion of the mailbox Jack had rigged up himself), it will come with grappling hooks, which should worry you slightly.

Climb the cliff fifty paces before you, find the lightning-forked tree, and count ye ten paces t' the east, then five paces t' the north. Dig and find what ye be seeking!

It took Hermione a while to find the clue, and the grappling hooks... Um. And then when she saw the clue about the climbing, half the island might have heard the "WAIT WHAT?"

Well, rum, pizza and several pieces of (uncursed, he checked) gold for each of the students who made it to the top of the Rocky Bits.

Party time!

Thank you for indulging my crack.
