[OPEN] She's just the girl for me;
Who: Lily Evans & you!
Where: All over the mansion and grounds.
When: February 14th, all day!
Rating: PG
Summary: James put together a clever scavenger hunt for Lily and has requested that people do their best to distract her! Care to do your part?
The Story:
[She had almost missed the envelope tied to her doorknob this morning, as a matter of fact, having been eager to make her way downstairs to the kitchen for breakfast and tea, but it had brushed against her hand in the process of her closing the door behind her, catching her attention. She’d been unable to keep from smiling while reading through the initial note; of course James would do something sweepingly romantic for their first Valentine’s Day together, and a scavenger hunt seems just like him, a lover of both pranks and riddles.
The first clue is simple enough, and she tucks the note away in her pocket before making her way down to the kitchen.]
CLUE ONE - KITCHEN
[At first, she almost considers using magic to help her find whatever it is that James has hidden in the kitchen, but she decides that that takes all of the fun out of things, and so anyone who happens to be in the kitchen around breakfast is likely to see Lily dragging a chair from place to place, using it to hoist herself up and try to get a better look at the tops of cupboards, though a few of her attempts to look end up with her very precariously standing on tip-toe, doing her best to balance.
Before too long, she finds the box of chocolate atop the fridge, along with the second clue.]
CLUE TWO - THE WOODS
[This one is a bit trickier, since Lily had met with Harry within the mansion itself after his arrival, but she has a general idea of where James had found him, and so she heads out to the grounds, making for the edge of the woods. It's a bit dimmer within the trees, and so, bundled up in her winter coat and Gryffindor scarf, she winds her way through using her wand to illuminate the darker areas.
The tree in question catches her eye from a good distance away when she finds it, decorated brightly with red-and-pink streamers and hearts. Upon opening the package, she grins broadly and quickly discards her plain black gloves for the Gryffindor set included inside, then goes about reading the next clue.]
CLUE THREE - THE MAZE
[The maze is a place that Lily is intimately familiar with, having arrived in Wonderland at the center of it and visited it several times since. It's never been the same twice, but she finds her way to the center without too much trouble, a long and winding but methodical path. The flowers that begin to appear as she nears it are as good a clue as any, and she smiles when she finds the bouquet waiting for her amid the rest of the flowers.
Letting the bouquet come to rest in one arm, she takes a moment to cast a charm on her bag to expand the insides, making room for the other items she's begin to collect since starting. Once that's done, she reads over the note before heading back towards the mansion, rubbing the tip of her nose with one gloved hand when she finally emerges from the maze.]
CLUE FOUR - THE LIBRARY
[So far, nearly every clue has been both cute and clever. That's come to an end here in the library.
She finds herself stuck here for no less than two hours. The trouble about finding the book she loves from home is that she loves a great number of books, something she knows James is well-aware of and seems to be using to his advantage. To keep her busy? She's not sure, but frustrated begins to rear its ugly head as she hunts through the stacks. The fact that the library itself is different on any given day doesn't help her much, she feels, but eventually she collects a number of favored books from home and hefts the entire stack over to one of the tables, where she sits, sighs heavily, and begins to leaf through each and every one of them.
She'll find the next clue -- eventually.]
CLUE FIVE - THE DINER
[After the library, she's glad to have been given a much simpler task. The mention of stalling in the note itself is enough to make her let out a brief, irate growl, but the rest of this is so charming and so well put-together that she doesn't have it within her to be annoyed for more than a moment. When she makes her way to the diner, she's not quite sure who to seek out-- but once she approaches the counter and leans over it to see if she can catch a glimpse of who's working, she's pretty sure she can guess who the one responsible will be.]
Hello? Anyone milling about back there?
[Sooner or later, she'll have to get that clue, and that means progress.]
CLUE SIX - THE ROOF (CLOSED TO JAMES)
[Before heading to the roof-- because of course that's where he is-- she takes the time to return to her room and go through all the notes all over again. The marked letters are eye-catching, and though it takes her a few moments, she guesses at the cipher he's hinted at. She only gets partway through solving it before she decides otherwise-- if she's found the last clue, then he's waiting for her somewhere, and if he really is where she thinks he is, then he must be freezing.
Besides. Given how the rest of this scavenger hunt of his went, she has to chide herself concerning the cipher. It couldn't be as straightforward as she'd guessed, of course not, and she tucks the notes away in her pocket, all neatly folded together, including her attempts at solving the cipher itself. She's sure that when she finds James, he'll understand why she rushed-- she's been at this all day at this point, and she's eager to see just what he has waiting for her.
It's roughly half an hour after she leaves the diner that she makes her way to the roof, leaning out to get a good look at the area before stepping onto it properly, pulling her new gloves back on in the process.]
