You are asked to represent your House in a debate

Speak passionately and inspire the crowd

Use logic and persuasion to win the argument

Balance emotion and reason to make your point

Quietly prepare notes and counterpoints for every question

You find a spellbook hidden in your dormitory

Try out a simple charm immediately

Catalog its contents for future study

Contain it safely with protective spells

Examine it from a distance for study
