> Although you are a muggle, you have been chosen from a select group
to participate in an experiment. I, a secret true blood, have been
authorized by the Ministry of Magic to conduct an experiment to see
if muggles could possibly survive and learn (doubtful) the ways of
the wizards. For a limited time, a few muggles will be allowed to
experience the journey taken by true bloods and Squibs to Hogwarts.
If you are able to survive the journey, you will be given limited
access to Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade & Knockturn Alley so that you can
equip yourselves with the tools of the trade needed to attend. Then
you will seek the Sorting Hat that will assign you to your proper
house for your brief stay at Hogwarts. Finally, you will journey to
King's Cross Station, platform 9 to get to Hogwarts. If you feel
you are prepared for this test, you will need to find the treasures
listed below in the Forbidden Forest. By making it past Boggert,
Bane, Hinkypunks, Kappa & Ronin, thus surviving your trip through the
forest, you will be rewarded with portkeys to various locations. So
load your bag with Bertie Botts' Every Flavor Beans and chocolate
frogs, leash your Niffler and begin your journey if you dare!

> You will be starting your journey at Owl Wood Hollow. Your first
port key is located in the Badlands. This port key will take you to
Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley & Knockturn. I recommend you visit Flourish &
Blotts to peek at the books and learn a few needed spells (if you can
even make them work). If the shop owner takes pity on you, he may
even be willing to give you a Kwikspell course. Once you enter the
trail, you will have to decide which way to go. Although left or
right may seem the logical choices, you will go straight; for ahead
of you lies what you seek. It is hidden well in the split between the
large fallen tree. As you seek, watch for muggles that might
interfere & once you have completed your task, re-hide it well (just
in case another muggle is as talented as you). Along with the spell
that opens your passage to the shops you will need to visit, you will
find your magic wand from Ollivanders and 3 sets of plain work robes
from Madam Malkin's. Be sure to use them wisely, or you could turn
yourself into a beast, or worse!

> Now, you'll need to use the spell to open the passage to visit
Borgin and Burkes, Madam Malkin's & The Magical Menagerie because
before you locate the sorting hat, you will need the following items:
>
> one plain pointed hat for day wear
>
> one standard (size 2) cauldron
>
> an enchanted broomstick (choose a Firebolt if you dare)
>
> optional: you can bring an owl, cat or toad
>
>
>
> Be sure to don your invisibility cloak to hide your activities from
muggles that have not been `chosen'!
>

> The Sorting Hat:

> Once you have the items you need, your journey is not over and is
still threatened by the evil forces of the forbidden forest. To
continue your journey, you will need to use the four points spell on
your wand to assist you. Finding a friend who has done some
arithmancy study may help as well. Since you do not have the training
or the license from the Department of Magical Transportation (and you
would splinch for sure), you will not be able to apparate from one
place to the next, so you'll need the clues you'll find after getting
the Dissendium Spell. You may want to bring along a writing
instrument to copy the spells you'll be using.

> If you survive your whole journey and are admitted to Hogwarts
(very doubtful), you will be able to use the Tarantallegra spell
(dancing spell) to celebrate as well as visiting Hogsmeade for some
well deserved butterbeer (adults only).

> If any of you survive, please contact me so that I may amend my
report that I have written on this study, which says muggles cannot
possibly survive this experiment.

> Good Luck!
