What If? - Edition #5
Have you ever found yourself wondering how things could’ve been different with one simple decision? Perhaps you’re familiar with the butterfly effect, and know that one small change can have massive implications in the future. This series asks the hard hitting questions about our magical world, with you having an opportunity to share how you think things would have changed - for better or worse.

Everyone who comments with their ideas will receive a prize of 3 wizard cards, so make sure to take part in each week's edition! And if you have your own ideas for a Whaf If?, please owl them to Raeh Thatcher.

Let's have another think on some of our own nearest and dearest.
We all like to think we’d be as successful as Hermione at avoiding the Basilisk, but what if someone took after Moaning Myrtle?
I’m thinking it could be Harlow Spencer this time around, purely because she does spend quite a lot of time patrolling the hallways and the bathrooms, which makes her more likely to run into the Basilisk. Being a ghost might even help - she can still stay up to date on all the gossip without those pesky walls getting in the way!

Have I nailed it this time round just like the Basilisk’s piercing gaze may have nailed Harlow? Or is someone else more likely to haunt our halls?
