Barberus Bragge during a Quidditch match, who
offered a hefty sum of money for its capture. X

6. • X- Golden Snidget
• A- Resurrection Stone/ Marvolo’s Ring

7. Question 2
• Y claimed to have descended from Helga
Hufflepuff. Y was extremely rich, and thus an avid
collector of magic antiquities. She was killed, and
her house elf X was blamed. The house elf
claimed to have accidentally put poison in Y’s
evening cocoa, but unfortunately false memories
had been implanted in the house elf’s mind.
• Two things had gone missing from Y’s collection
of artifacts after her death, B and another object
belonging to Y’s supposed ancestor.

9. • X-Hokey
• B- Slytherin’s locket

10. Question 3
• Y is known to deflect all charms, and can be repaired
with the spell X, as a simple mending charm will not
work on it. Y was damaged by Peeves when he
dropped it in a classroom right above Filch’s office after
being persuaded by Nearly Headless Nick, so as to help
Harry get out of trouble. A certain Slytherin Quidditch
captain is said to have almost died after being shoved
into Y.

however they began to sell D to the students by
owl order, which were disguised as cough
potions.

• D- Love potion

16. Question 5
• "His name's Y. His mother beats him. She beats all
those kids she adopted, but she seems to hate
him the most.“

adulthood, as he was a X, and most of them die
by the age of 10. Y probably became a X because
of the years of abuse he endured in his
childhood.

first met him, before he realized Y was actually a
X.

same mission, engineered an uprising led by the giant
X, who beheaded Karkus and took his position.
• Y had a pet Acromantula Aragog, who F found out
