| "Your efforts ensured that the Cursed Vaults will never again threaten Hogwarts, and for that, I thank you. You broke a considerable number of school rules, but you did so to break an ancient curse. All of Hogwarts owes you a debt of gratitude. I expect history will label you a hero." |

The Hogwarts Great Lake, 7:30 pm.

The catamaran Ticonderoga quietly sailed amidst the dark blue waters that reflected the starry night sky above them, its silver fiberglass hull gently splashing along.

And on the ship’s deck stood you, suited up in a scuba suit, lantern and wand in your hand, oxygen tank on your back.

The Cursed Vaults had long been a source of fascination for the wizarding world - vaults that were said to be holding the most priceless treasures of the world, guarded by the most dangerous curses. Many have long sought them out - including the legendary cursebreaker Patricia Rakepick - but none had succeeded.

But all of that was about to change - that is, if you had your way.

Like so many others, you were fascinated by the stories of the vaults. However, whereas many dismissed the vaults as urban legends, you saw it as treasures worthy of adventure and discovery. And so, you read through as many books as possible, exhausted as much information from as many people as possible, and when the information you desired was finally acquired, you wasted no time in preparing.

Within seconds, you dove head-first into the cold and clear waters, swimming gracefully down into the depths in search of the statue that was said to hold the vault. Minutes after that, the statue entered your line of sight.

Everything was going well so far…until you saw what appeared to be another group of people swimming to the same statue.

Wasting no time, you swam even faster. And soon, both you and them arrived.

Their leader - a redheaded woman - looked at you with suspicion.

“Hello?” she asked cautiously. “Who are you, and what are you doing here?”
