HSKS6 Gryffindor Homework!

Homework time again! This time we had to decode a cipher. I admit that I needed a slight push in the right direction to solve this one, but got it shortly after. We were watching a crazy muggle movie, The Forbidden Kingdom, while I typed out the answer. The good thing is that I could predict some of the words after getting just a few letters.


The clue: "OFXMWPOZCP DLJD APZAWP QTYO TE QLC PLDTPC EZ QZCRTGP ZESPCD QZC MPTYR HCZYR ESL MPTYR CTRSE."

SPCXTZYP RCLYRPC

And my answer: “Dumbledore says people find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong tha[n] being right”

Hermione Granger

Bonus 1: Who became scarred and developed a taste for raw meat in Chapter 29 of HBP?
Bill Weasley began craving raw meat after Fenrir Greyback bit him. The bastard werewolf! At least now he can eat prime rib the way it should be cooked.. nice and rare.

Bonus 2: Who developed an antidote for a birthday present in Chapter 18 of HBP?
Technically it wasn't a birthday present. Ron was opening his birthday gifts in the dorm room when the Christmas gift Romilda Vane gave Harry fell into the pile. Ron thought they were his and ate a few not realizing they were spiked with love potion! Professor Slughorn gives Ron the antidote, then poisons him with the mead meant for Dumbledore! Luckily, Harry remembered the trick about the bezoar being a magical cure-all.
