Something Wicked That Way Went
KublaCon 2005
In the Muggle world, they’d call it “scaring you straight,” and you’d have detention picking up debris with local felons on work-release. At Hogwarts, however, they call it “The Student Safety Commission” and your job is to make things safer by investigating, being taken out by, or taking out, the bad things that go bump in the night. Most students who are part of the Commission complete training and make the best and the brightest of the witches and wizards of Hogwarts. But, of course, some of them never come back to school after holiday break. Which will you be? Second through fourth year students ONLY.
Remember: the teachers at Hogwarts will only give you what you can handle. The question is, how much does your opinion of what you can handle differ from that of the professors?

And then there was where the invitations were found--clasped in a child's hand, facing the occupant on his pillow when he woke, baked in the bread of the evening meal...
