Events

• Albus Dumbledore welcomed Patricia Rakepick to Hogwarts in order to deal with the dangers inside the castle due to someone tampering with the Cursed Vaults.
• Several students were affected by the Sleepwalking curse, which caused them to wander off into the Forbidden Forest. Some of the students were rescued and sent to the Hospital Wing.
• After interrogating house-elves, ghosts, and investigations throughout the castle and Hogsmeade without being able to obtain conclusive evidence of their whereabouts, Madam Rakepick eventually resorted to go behind the back of the faculty at the school by training and grooming some of the students to become her assistant in her own search for the vaults behind their back. And this despite the Headmaster's prohibition of students getting involved in anything having to do with the vaults.
• The Black Lake incident happened that term, prompting Professor Dumbledore to take affair. As a result, no student was allowed to make use of the old school brooms outside of class.
• A Chimaera, as well as two got loose and Professor Kettleburn tried to find it.
