When Roxanne Barringer wakes up this morning, she notices something new: three feathers, tied together by a leather cord, hanging from the ladder of her bed. The feathers appear to be from a red-tailed hawk, of unusual size, fullness and vividness of colour. The cord is tied so securely, it appears to be magic.

Aside from their prettiness and their mysterious appearance in her dorm, the feathers look unremarkable, just another trinket of the forest... and yet. Roxie can't stop herself from touching them with a gentle finger, marvelling at the subtle way they catch the light. She wonders how they'd look in the bright sunshine. Looking at the feathers, she feels unstoppable—like she could do anything, go anywhere, rise to the highest of heights and never fall. Her normal confidence, multiplied tenfold.

For an unexplained reason, Roxie thinks it would be a good idea to tie the feathers to her broom. No, a great idea. She's definitely going to do that now.

Are we 100% sure that absolutely EVERYBODY is inside the lodge?? Because I saw somebody outside in the blizzard! They were looking in through the window, but when I told Mr Hightower he said it was "just" a bear like that was supposed to reassure me?? Even though a BEAR prowling around outside is actually kind of alarming??? Mabel's on her own in the cabin and I'm not there to protect her! But I know what a bear looks like and the person I saw outside was definitely human!!

I think there is something wrong. I don't know what it is but something feels off. I can't sleep and I can't be the only one. Are we sure like the roof isn't going to fall in or some weird half snowman half monster isn't going to kill us all in our sleep? I know it sounds crazy but am I alone in this?

Someone should have suggested we tell ghost stories before going to sleep. I'm sure we all would have loved that.

[Warded Private]

Go to sleep, Rosemary.

Stop thinking too hard, Rosemary, you have class tomorrow.

Just get to fucking sleep. There's nothing outside, that's stupid, everyone just loves to panic at this dumb school, it's fine. How is this any different than if you were sleeping in your cabin

If you see this and you need someone to talk to, please know that I love chatting.

I'm doing rounds in the lodge. Whatever lives in the woods is here tonight. I know it. This feels just like it did the night Wes was taken. Pippa, Hazel, Tess, and I all heard or saw somethin.

I love you both.

[Ulysses]

Where are you? Come sleep near me.

Maybe take shifts with Raf?

[Ghost Talk Ward]

It's here, y'all. I saw it. Pippa saw it. Hazel and Tess heard it.

Well, I WAS going to write about the PTCs, but now we're stuck up here and people are seeing crazy stuff, it hardly seems like the most important thing.

I hope us Ribbonfins aren't going to get too used to sleeping in the lodge...

No one freak out, but I think I heard someone or something trying to open a door from the outside.

I think we should take turns keeping watch. At least those of us who can't sleep anyway.

Honestly so used to sleepovers by now. I guess at least I'm glad it's not my fault and there are no bears involved.

Wait...

There ARE no bears involved, right?

If anyone needs some soothing, Hector has learned some really chill tunes over break and it's pretty good for calming the soul.

Perhaps some day I will regret that charm, but today is not that day. Right now he's playing some Eagles. And I'm trying to convince him to play The Cure. Anyone have requests?

Private to Coppertale Sophs

How many times this school year do you think we'll end up sleeping in here? Over/under has to be at least 6, right?

Glad I have you guys to make it fun at least. I cannot emphasize my hatred of the cold enough.

Oh, how lovely that we get to all be together! I do love a good sleep in, and it's rather like camping which of course I like most of all. I'm quite quite sure that even if it feels a bit off, we'll all have a lovely night together!

Luckily I had my knitting in my bag. If anyone would like a pattern or to knit with me that might be great fun! I'm working on a blanket now. Strange I've never done one. I'm thinking there could be many excellent charms to put on a good blanket.

Private to Azurcrest Juniors

We could play a bit of a game if you like. Just so we can pass the time and not be too nervous? I'm always up for a Never Have I Ever or something of the sort.

Is everyone well then? I hope so!

Private to Cricket

I'm sure you're very busy with everything, being an important prefect and all, but if you were interested I wouldn't mind a cuddle?

But only if you aren't too busy and don't have other plans.

Private to Chris

Hallo, new friend! I had a question I was hoping to pick your mind about.

I just thought you would be a good one to go to, as sort of an objective person, say.
