I PRESENT: HOGWARTS IDEAS.

Some of these are definitely bigger than single-thread plots, and it might be best to run some of these through staff, but my 6am brain is cranking out ideas and I must post them somewhere :P

• Book Club meetings get intense, ending in a number of students receiving detentions for sneaking into the Restricted Section without a pass in search of new—and forbidden—knowledge to share.
  
• Struggling students form a study group. They grow. They achieve. They pass their damn exams and build friendships along the way.
  
• Student attempts to blackmail professor. It works...at first.
  
• A number of students wake up in the Hospital Wing. They have no memory of what happened to cause them to end up there.
  
• The bottom level of Hogwarts (i.e. dungeons, etc.) is flooded, leaving the Hufflepuffs and Slytherins to bunk with the Ravenclaws and Gryffindors.
  
• Poor attempts at an atmospheric charms lead to a raging, magical thunderstorm over Hogwarts that tampers with professors’ and students’ magic.
  
• A magical bug invades the halls of Hogwarts, leading students to act out of character and forget basic details about themselves. In turn, this leads to students believing that their friends are being kidnapped—and replaced!—by imposters.
  
• Fight-turns-accidental-death leading to a series of lies, pointed fingers, and blackmail.
  
• Student searches through whatever Hogwarts records they can find at the school to answer questions about family secrets.
  
• Student goes missing during a quidditch match.
  
• (Possibly illegal?) potion brewing ring. Soothing draughts, pepperup potions, etc.—all sold and traded from the comfort of the common rooms UNTIL one ill-brewed potion threatens to collapse the entire operation.
  
• Student’s diary is stolen. They wake up to find their secrets circulating.
